Nintendo has finally lifted the lid on some of their more anticipated releases for 2007 in Australia, which is welcome new given many of the games have already been released abroad. On the DS front, Nintendo of Australia have revealed the DS has an install-base of more than 700,000 units here, which is a pretty strong feat. The most anticipated game for DS, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hour Glass, will be releasing on October 11 which is awesome news for DS owners. Other titles for the DS releasing this year include:

• DK Jungle Climber - November 1
• Naruto Ninja Council - November 15
• Mario Party DS - December 6
• Master of Illusion - Mid December

With the Wii, the hotly anticipated Metroid Prime 3: Corruptions has been announced for the far-off date of November 8 (probably to avoid too much clash with Halo 3). Other Wii titles releasing this year are:

• Big Brain Academy - November 8
• Pokemon: Battle Revolution - November 22
• Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles - December 13
• Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure - Mid December

Finally the other big news to come from The Big N in Australia is a solid release date for Super Mario Galaxy which will be hitting store shelves on November 29 across the country. Still no word on Super Smash Bros. which likely means we won't see it until some time in 2008. Still, all this means Nintendo have a pretty solid holiday season ahead.
