Mario Galaxy and Prime 3 delayed 'till Winter 2007?

[Schlep]

The Wii lineup is definitely thin next year but there are some interesting titles. Here are the "highlights" from Gamestop's list:

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves 1/15
Disaster: Day of Crisis 3/30
Super Mario Galaxy 4/1 -- Obviously not going to make that date.
Fire Emblem 6/1 -- Awesome.
Project H.A.M.M.E.R. 6/1 -- Who knows.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl 6/1
Metroid Prime 3 6/1
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles 12/31

Fixed.

I'm guessing the majority of Wii titles that will release in 2007 are games we don't even know about yet. That's typically how it goes on Nintendo consoles.

Anyone who bought a Nintendo system as their primary source of entertainment after the N64 is an idiot.

I'll play the 2 games a year they put out, but my 360 and PS2 will keep me from ever being bored ever ever.

Is this a remotely reliable source, or is it another Kotaku?

Pilotwings 12/31

:O

This needs to happen.

Anyone who is surprised by this clearly doesn't know nintendo.

Even SSX knows the real deal.

Nintendo = diminishing 3rd party titles and delayed 1st party titles (which don't equal past quality).

Enjoy your Wii, gang.

I'd still like to actually see a source, because rumors about Nintendo from "an inside source" are a dime a dozen (hi Metroid Dread). Besides, this is a European site, and Nintendo of Europe are typically as clueless as they are worthless.

I wouldn't be shocked if the news wound up coming true, Nintendo and delays go hand in hand these days, but I've got my doubts about how much these people know.

To be honest, I was already kind of expecting Mario Galaxy to come out sometime next November or something. But Metroid Prime 3? I would really be shocked if Nintendo delayed MP3 that long. Maybe September at the latest. I mean do they really need 2 huge titles for the holiday season? You'd think they'd want that earlier in the year to keep demand for the Wii going. Oh well, it IS Nintendo, so... who the hell knows what they're gonna do.

Mario was a given for Q4, but I have a hard time believing prime has been delayed that long. I also could have sworn just yesterday or maybe even today, there was a news article from one of the Japanese gaming sites, talking to some one with Nintendo that said Phantom Hourglass was being done by a very small team for like 10 people, that the people who did Twilight Princess' cut scenes were doing the PH ones and that it was on schedule for an early 07 release (at least in Japan). I get the feeling this news is dealing with the European release and not the American or Japanese release.

Even SSX knows the real deal..

Which reminds me Wii SSX will hit in 2007 -- not that I really care.
