Nintendo spills some releasedates

Hidden in a press release on a special Zelda: Skyward Sword-bundle, Nintendo of America revealed some upcoming releasedates for Nintendo DS and 3DS titles.

The original portable Tetris game was a smash hit on the Game Boy system. The new Tetris: Axis game lets players use the magic of the Nintendo 3DS system to jump into the action in 3D without the need for special glasses. The game includes more than 20 different modes - some familiar, some new. Up to eight players can compete in wireless multiplayer battles, even if only one player has a game card. Tetris: Axis also makes use of the augmented-reality and SpotPass features of Nintendo 3DS. Tetris: Axis is part of a stirring fall lineup for Nintendo 3DS that also includes Pokon Rumble Blast (launching Oct. 24), Super Mario 3D Land (November) and Mario Kart 7 (December).

Professor Layton and the Last Specter for the Nintendo DS family of systems is the fourth installment in the Professor Layton puzzle adventure series. It begins a new trilogy that is a prequel to the original games, set three years before the events in Professor Layton and the Curious Village. The game contains more puzzles than any in the series to date. As a North American exclusive to the overall Professor Layton and the Last Specter package, a bonus role-playing game called Professor Layton's London Life containing more than 100 hours of additional content will be available to players from the start of the game. According to Official Nintendo Magazine, this included RPG will not be available in the European version (despite the URL ONM decided to place the article under).
