Nintendo fans looking forward to their next big Wii game or their next Zelda fix are just going to have to hold tight a little longer than they may have anticipated. According to CVG and their "sources close to Nintendo" we shouldn't expect to see either Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption or The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass until at the earliest third quarter of 2007.
While titles like Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and (hopefully) Fire Emblem will help fill the void, the wait for what will surely be top-tier 40+ hour adventures now seems heartbreaking.
Nintendo spokesfolk would not confirm a late shipping window to the CVG crew, but did commit to a calendar year 2007 release date for all three. The odds of one of those marquee games slipping into '08 wouldn't surprise me one bit, though.
