News
Online Gaming will become bigger with approx. 3 games being online playable for the Gamecube by the end of 2004, OMG! Don't have too many now! (The third being Splinter Cell: Pandora Tommorrow)

True Crime: Streets of L.A. has a confirmed sequel...it could be seen in 2004, but more likely only at E3!

PilotWings has a confirmed sequel, but Factor 5 has decided to push it back onto the 'N5' (The next Nintendo console), but once again, watch out for E3!

Burnout 3 has been confirmed to come out but this time its being made by Electronic Arts (DAMMIT!!). They wrestled with Acclaim for Criterions production, and of course they won. Such a shame, i was looking forward to that!

Timesplitters 3 has been confirmed by Free Radical design to see the light of day in stores in around 2005, but they had to strike a deal with Electronic Arts to do it for some reason....why?!?!

E3 holds the way for the future of gaming! I suspect Ninty will give us all a peek of the good stuff, i.e. Next next generation consoles! lol
Also E3 holds the big feature of Nintendo's new handheld console to rival the Sony PSP which has been titled the 'Nintendo DS' which stands for Double Screen! The Press release came out today and i think i saw it on every news page possible, even Nintendo.co.uk! The new console will not be the new GameBoy Advance or Nintendo Gamecube, but will be Nintendo's third product to be sold alongside the other 2! The console will have 2 screens!! This is for more strategic gaming, and will make the whole experience a whole lot more enjoyable aparently! It'll have over a gigabit of power with multiple processors, and both screens will be of 3" in size! Thats all they've said though, dam Mr. Iwata!! He's keeping the rest of the good stuff back until E3!

Wow, how long have i spent typing all of this up!! zzzzz :o
Aren't you glad you've got a good ol forum member like me here! :p
I may update this if i decide to, but thats all the biggest and most important stuff. As you can see, lots of games to be released in 2004, but mainly at the moment, you'll see that its mostly Spring/Summer games, Autumn/Winter has very little...for now! You know how many games came out unexpectedly last christmas! Expect a cool Nintendo 2004!

[EDIT] All the American NTSC Release Dates have been added as well (As much as i could find anyways!) Enjoy!

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time and Kirbys Air Ride came out in 2003

I'm getting FF:CC and MP2.

Isn't FF:CC coming out on Feb. 9th?

Maybe i shudda noted that these are all European Release times, and most of them are probabily going to change over the course of the year. 11th March is the confirmed PAL release date for Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles according to Nintendo of Europe, i'm going by their word...despite that day being a thursday!


If you like, ill make an American version of coming soon games aswell...later!

Gees thats alot of good gaming to look forward to. We microsoft people arent that bad *strokes xbox*

Thats a lot of promissing games.

Must... find... job... need... money...

Same here i need money --FAST!!!!!!

I've just updated the Games release schedule so it now has a seperate list for American Release dates of games that are yet to come out! And since i have never been to America before in my life, and dont import games, that was a pretty hard list to compile!! Theres also loads of games ive never heard of before, or publishers ive never heard of before, its like a completely different country!!!




.....o wait, it is!

Enjoy peops!

Wow, quite a nice array of release dates there

List Updated!

Capcoms's Postponed some good games till 2005, thank you very much! SEGA games have been announced for the upcoming year, and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes has a confirmed European release date from Ninty!

Ill continue to update the list when announcements/changes take place :p
