Nintendo reveals strong Q2 lineup for Wii, Nintendo DS
Wii owners of all ages have discovered the fun of playing with a group of friends in the same room. Now for the first time players can compete with one another near and far with Pokémon Battle Revolution, a game of remarkable firsts:
--the first Wii game to include Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection play
--the first Pokémon game for Wii
--the first game to link Wii and Nintendo DS
--and the first Wii game that can be controlled using Nintendo DS
When Wii and Nintendo DS are linked, players can use their Nintendo DS units as controllers or import characters from the upcoming Nintendo DS games Pokémon Diamond Version or Pokémon Pearl Version. Pokémon Battle Revolution launches on June 25 exclusively for Wii and brings a dramatic new chapter to the Pokémon franchise, which has sold more than 155 million units worldwide. Pokémon Battle Revolution also serves as one of the standouts in Nintendo’s second-quarter launch lineup, which the company revealed today in conjunction with the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
Pokémon Battle Revolution will be joined by Super Paper Mario, the first Mario game for Wii; Mario Party 8, a multiplayer party game; and Big Brain Academy, a brain-training game that builds on the phenomenal success of the Nintendo DS brain games. These will add to the ever-growing library of Wii games, which will total more than 50 by the end of June. Nintendo DS fans will see the arrival of Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version, two surefire smash-hits.
“With strong third-party support, Wii and Nintendo DS have games on the way for both casual and veteran gamers,” says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “Our new ways to play have attracted millions of players around the world. This lineup demonstrates our commitment to leading the industry with the future of video gaming.”
Third-party publishers also have stepped up their support of both Wii and Nintendo DS, recognizing these systems as the hottest things going in the video game industry. The list of games for April, May and June includes the following:
Wii
April 9 -- Super Paper Mario (Nintendo)
April -- Prince of Persia Rival Swords (Ubisoft)
April -- Bust-A-Move Bash (Majesco)
April -- Bioncle Heroes (Eidos)
May 15 -- Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (Midway)
May 29 -- Mario Party 8 (Nintendo)
May -- Tamagotchi Party On (Namco Bandai)
May -- Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean at World’s End (Disney Interactive)
May -- Escape from Bug Island (Eidos)
May -- Spider-Man The Movie 3 (Activision)
June 11 -- Big Brain Academy (Nintendo)
June 25 -- Pokémon Battle Revolution (Nintendo)
June -- Cosmic Family (Ubisoft)
Spring -- Heatseeker (Codemasters)
Q2 -- Legend of the Dragon (American Game Factory)
Summer -- Shrek the Third (Activision)

Okay: I don't want the game's secrets or anything like that, but can you have a normal story mode on the Pokémon Battle Revolution? It's just, I don't have a DS and to be honest, I never want one. But will I be able to play it without having to link up to a Wi-fi (whatever that is) connection? Because, if I can't, I'd rather find out now than wait until it's launch and end up returning it... Does anyone know?

I have to wait how long for the Pokemon Game for the Wii? sad
Isn't that the one which is going to feature a whole new story line? It's supposed to be much different than the storyline for the two Colesseum games that came out on the Gamecube.
Why are they keeping so hush hush about the release date for Super Smash Bros Brawl?

Why are they keeping so hush hush about the release date for Super Smash Bros Brawl? Um.. you have to wait about 3 months for Pokemon Battle Revolution to come out -- June 25th. I am unsure about the exact game stuff that's in it. Super Smash Bros. Brawl.. I dunno why lol, but they are telling a lot about the characters xD

They are just releasing tidbits to get us by. I'm beginning to wonder if they are having trouble calibrating the moves to the controller without it coming off as awkward. It'll kill Nintendo if Brawl isn't a success. They did the same thing with Zelda: Twilight Princess....it took forever because they knew that with too few games in thier first line-up that they would need a mega title to grab the fans, reel them back in, and keep them occupied.

I've reserved Revolution. I can't wait!
Although I'd like to put a word out. Some specialty gaming stores are now accepting reservations for Super Smash Bros Brawl. I've already reserved my copy, and I reserved it at Gamestop.
So...scout out your local game places and reserve it fast!
