Nintendo lays out slate for Europe

Nintendo has released its European Wii and Nintendo DS schedules for the first quarter of 2008, and has dated games including Donkey Kong Jet Race, Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice, Wii Chess, and Naruto Wii.

Mario Kart Wii is currently listed in the schedule for a Q2 release, although Super Smash Bros. Brawl appears to have disappeared off the radar entirely.

When contacted by GameSpot about the absence of Super Smash Bros. Brawl from the list, a Nintendo spokesperson said that the game simply has not yet been dated. In other words, it could possibly still be seen in Europe in the first half of the year.
