If you thought the sequel to one of this generation's greatest platformers wouldn't be released until November, prepare to be excited! At today's Q1 Media Summit in San Francisco, Nintendo showcased several titles for the Wii and the DS (or DS XL, which will launch March 28) along with a few release dates to boot. But, after a demo was showcased for Galaxy 2, Nintendo announced that the title would ship May 23 in North America. This comes as a bit of a shock. Most people thought that Nintendo would wait for the 2010 holiday season.
Along with the announcement, Nintendo showed off a new trailer for Galaxy 2. The trailer shows more footage of Mario interacting with Yoshi (who will be new to the sequel), along with several new power-ups, areas and of course; all the platforming fun that has pleased legions of Mario fans over the years.
Other key titles receiving release dates included Sin & Punishment: Star Successor for the Wii, which will arrive June 7, and Picross 3D for DS, which is slated to ship on May 3.
