Nintendo of Australia has announced through IGN that Metroid: Other M and Super Mario Galaxy 2 will both see release dates this summer - sometime between June and August. This coincides with my earlier estimate that we would see Other M come out at the end of August (likely Wednesday, August 26, which coincides with Nintendo's other major late-August releases like Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Sunshine, and F-Zero GX). Now it seems likely one of the two will see a release that week (and here I'm guessing Metroid) - we just have to wait for the official announcement, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's that far off from this guess.

Speaking of, tomorrow, Wednesday February 24 at 9 AM Pacific Time, the Nintendo Media Summit will unveil in San Francisco. I'm trying to locate someone who is doing live blogging, but you should be able to check the usual suspects such as 1Up, Nintendo World Report, Kotaku, and some game news company beginning with an I. I couldn't even find anything on G4TV's schedule!

Nintendo of America is running a live twitter account of today's event, complete with images. We'll have a news post shortly after.

UPDATE 2: Several websites are live blogging the event. The one I'm currently watching is at Gamepro and the Nintendo of America tweet above as well as Matt Casamassina's liveblog. Exciting, isn't it?

Until next time...
