Super Smash Bros. Brawl - 27th June

The European release date for the Wii Zapper, packaged with Zelda spin-off, has just been announced as December 7th, a few weeks after the US date of November 19th, but in time for watching your grandfather awkwardly try to play the game on the 25th of December. It will retail for an affordable £20, or €30, depending on whether or not you live in the UK. Professional impressions seem to be positive, so it may well be worth picking up if you’re a fan of A) Zelda, B) Lightgun games, or C) Both.

Europeans, start saving, and make no plans for next Friday. One week today, on the 19th of October, Phantom Hourglass is released. The image above is the European boxart, and it uses the graphic from the Japanese boxart as opposed to the American equivalent.

When you buy the game (or if you already own the American or Japanese version), if you want to make the most of the game and it’s online features, be sure to join our forums! There, you where you can discuss the game and trade Friend Codes!

After their announcement that Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, a game which would require very little translation, would be delayed to 2008 in Europe, Nintendo of Europe proved today that they are not fully incompetent at releasing games. The European release date of the hotly anticipated Wind Waker sequel, The Phantom Hourglass, was announced today as October 19th, only a few weeks after the American release. So Europeans, mark your calendars, and try to resist importing for eighteen days!
