Nintendo’s upcoming release list – they love the hardcore, after all

Destructoid posted a very handy list of Nintendo’s upcoming releases today, with the most up-to-date release dates that we have. Everything from Pikmin 1 and 2 to the ultra-anticipated new Punch Out!! are on there, along with a couple of MIA titles that raised a few eyebrows - Fatal Frame 4 is nowhere to be seen.

Here’s the list:

U.S. highlights for the Wii and DS:

• Punch-Out!! sometime in 2009
• Sin & Punishment 2 in 2009
• Pikmin GameCube port TBA
• Mario Tennis GameCube port TBA
• Tenchu 4 early 2009
• Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, 1st half 2009
• Mario & Luigi RPG 3, 2009
• Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, 1Q 2009

U.S. Missing In Action list:

• Fatal Frame 4 (fu*k!)
• Disaster: Day in Crisis (Europe gets it, though!)

I’ll tell you that I absolutely can’t wait for Punch Out!!, Sin and Punishment 2 and the Pikmin ports. It’s a rock-solid lineup, all around, but I’m still wondering about Fatal Frame. After Jenni’s piece on the series, I’m totally curious about picking it up.
