Super Smash Bros and Wario Land receive official launch dates, Indy reclaims the top spot and Summer Athletics Xbox 360 screens
With summer now in full swing, Nintendo is set to up the temperature and let loose a selection of scorching new titles on to the Nintendo DS and Wii. Hold on to your sun hats as the Wii Summer line-up kicks off with the return of the brawl, in the latest super-charged generation of Super Smash Bros. Brawl! Unleashed on 27 June 2008, Mario, Bowser, Zelda and numerous other Nintendo and third party gaming heroes will be found in the ring fighting for the title of ultimate brawler. With the fight taken online for the first time, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is set to bring the fast, furious and frenetic world of the brawl to the masses! If that wasn't enough, Wario makes his debut with his first dedicated adventure on Wii with Wario Land: The Shake Dimension. Nintendo's most famous anti-hero is shaken and tilted to the very limit using the Wii's innovative control system, bringing the magic of 2D platform adventure games from 26 September 2008. Meanwhile, in chartland, Indy has managed to clamber back to the top spot, thanks to the continued popularity of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. The PS3-exclusive and last week's number one Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots slithers to second place; with a new entry, Alone in the Dark, taking the third spot. With all the talk of summer we now turn our attention to the forthcoming Olympics. Sega may be grabbing all the headlines with its forthcoming official game of the Beijing 2008 event but Eidos has one or two tricks up its own sleeves. Take a look at the latest screenshots of Summer Athletics, forthcoming on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. 25 of the most popular summer sports disciplines including sprinting, hurdles, cycling, archery, javelin, hammer throw await competitive button bashers. A release is scheduled for July.
