Oh yeah.

Nintendo announced this morning that the official release date of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is May 23rd, 2010. Much earlier than expected, huh?

Actually, it does seem to make sense. Assuming Nintendo is wanting to release Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid: Other M, and the new Zelda all in 2010, it's seems ideal that they would want these three games released as far away from each other as possible.

Since Galaxy 2 is releasing in May, I'm going to guess that Metroid: Other M will see the light of day sometime in August, since that is traditionally a month that belongs to Metroid (we recently saw both Metroid Prime 3 and Metroid Prime Trilogy release on an August release date).

So where does this leave Zelda? Well, November of course, as it's traditionally a month that belongs to Zelda, we saw both Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess release in November.

Nintendo fans, pray that Zelda releases this year. If it does, this will be a year to remember for Nintendo. Mario, Metroid, and Zelda all releasing in the same year, it's practically unheard of. I'm finally proud to be a Wii owner again.

Superzone out.

EDIT: Well, looks like I made this blog a little too fast. Nintendo also just announced that Metroid: Other M will be released on June 27th.

Summer 2010 = best summer ever.
