Nintendo teaches you speak English

Wednesday 23 August 2006
Nintendo will release English Training: Have Fun Improving Your Skills on these shores on 13 October, in an obvious move to combat the terrifically bad standards of grammar and pronunciation across the UK.

For those of us with l33t language skills, there's also Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team for GBA on 10 November, Star Fox Command DS on 24 November and Yoshi's Island 2 for DS on 1 December to look forward to.

These dates were confirmed by Nintendo's latest launch schedule, released at today's Leipzig Games Convention. Other notable games include the following.

DS
FIFA 07 - 29 September
Contact - October
DS Web Browser - 6 October
Actionloop - 27 October
Sudoku Master - 27 October
Tomb Raider: Legend - Oct/Nov
Mario Slam Basketball - 10 November
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team - 10 November

GBA
Need for Speed Carbon - November

And, how could we forget GBA games Polly Pocket!: Super Splash Island on 15 September and Princess Natasha: Student-Secret Agent-Princess on 24 November, or Touching Detective for DS in December? Handhelds get all the best game names.
