Releases: May

May Release Dates

Now that we're already a week into May, I realized that I should probably have started this. Last month was the first one of these I did, so hopefully this one is a little better. I've actually added some more things to it to make it a little more useful. Oh, and apparently release dates don't want to stay the same, so there's a few games from last month that got moved over to this month. I just hope they don't get changed again..


** Note: Release dates are subject to change. Please contact your local game store to ensure that they have the item in stock.

Overview: Well, it seems NFSU2 got pushed into May from last month, and is probably a good title to check out. May also brings us Puyo Pop Fever, which features 8-player single-cart multiplay. Yum.

GameCube

Overview: Another disappointing month for 'Cube owners - a total of three games will be hitting the console during May, one of them being bumped up from last month. If you really need to get a gaming fix on your 'Cube this month, it looks like you'll have to be content with Donkey Konga 2 - else you have a movie spin-off game or Digimon. Joy.

May 9th Donkey Konga 2 (http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/920165.asp)
May 23rd Madagascar (http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/925757.asp)
May 31st Digimon World 4 (http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/920543.asp)

Fire Emblem is the game that I am awaiting. I love the first one so much and I can't wait until the 23rd. I was shocked that Fire Emblem wasn't the game of the month! WarioWare is good but not Fire Emblem good.

Sorry, I had to say that because my friends were arguing about that.

The GC is dying a quick and slow death. If you look at the ps2's games coming out in the next year they have about 2 brilliant games a month, the ps2 is dying with some dignity, while it is sad for me to say that loz and mario are the only two games that i will be buying for the cube in the next year, unless nintendo has some kind of suprise for us during E3

[ocarinamask]

Yea, the Sacred Stones is looking to be really good. One of the things that made me play the first one for game boy advance so long was the support conversations and they are going to have them in this game as well. A bunch of different upgradable classes is just more scrumptious icing to a great cake. I'm also looking forward to Warioware Twisted!. I'm sure it was a close battle for game of the month.

Nintendo needs new GameCube games to come out...quickly. The lifespan is dying quickly.

I would have made NFSU 2 the DS game of the month. I can't wait to play it. May 10th...that's this week. I'm going to HAVE to buy it.

I would have made NFSU 2 the DS game of the month.I was going to make NFSU 2 the game of the month, but I had already made it the game of the month for April, before it got changed. [Read: too lazy to change them both.]

I was shocked that Fire Emblem wasn't the game of the month!My process for selecting the game of the month can be compared to a group of ants choosing between two [or more] pieces of candy that were dropped on the ground. See below:

Nevertheless, I think I have an idea for next month that could make it a little more.. logical.
