Nintendo details release schedule for first half of 2008 @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on January 16, 2008

News: New dates for Wii Fit and a load of other Wii and DS titles.

Nintendo has outlined the release schedules for the first half of the year for the Wii and DS. With Super Smash Bros. Brawl now settled in on its March 9th release date, there are few surprises in the schedule.

Although we do now know that Wii Fit and a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game will appear in the second quarter.

"The video game industry has never had so many new players, and they've never had so much fun," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales & marketing. "Our momentum is not limited to one system or one game. We're going broad and bold in 2008, with something for every member of the family."
