Nintendo of Europe has announced their official release schedule for the first quarter of the upcoming year. Several intriguing bits of news have emerged due to the press release.
The anticipated Nintendo DS title, Resident Evil: Deadly Silence has been listed for an Early 2006 release in the region. Given this news, it is highly likely that the North American version of this title will release before, or concurrently with the European iteration.
Nintendo of Europe has also subtly revealed today that the popular Brain Training series is set to release in March, 2006. While Nintendo of America has yet to comment on the games release here in America, it now appears almost certain that gamers here will be given the opportunity to rack their brain while playing their Nintendo DS.
European fans looking forward to the release of Animal Crossing: Wild World will now have to wait considerably longer, as the game is officially slated to release on March 31st in Europe. While this is still a tentative date, it is likely that the game will not be released until much later than originally thought in the area.
Lastly for the Nintendo DS, Electronic Arts is set to bring European gamers FIFA Street 2 for the portable on March 3rd of next year. Once again, Electronic Arts has yet to mention the game for a North American release, but confirmation could come very soon as Nintendo of America’s press day will be held today and tomorrow in Seattle, Washington.
Moving on to the Game Boy Advance, an intriguing title is in the works from Namco, as the company is set to release Tales of Phantasia sometime before the end of the first quarter of 2006.
