Everyone knows that the release of any significant games is about to slow down as it does every summer, and everyone also knows that the release of Madden also signals the end of this dry spout and sales beginning to increase. But, that is changing with some games beggining to launch earlier, the best example is the highly anticipated Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV is also scheduled for a pretty early release too. And now Nintendo is getting in on the action with the release of the new Metroid Prime: Corruption set for a Wii release August 20th, a week after Madden 2008 is set to launch. Another early release for Nintendo is Mario Strikers coming out July 30th, which is another highly anticipated game. Metroid Prime: Corruption is set to be one of the best games for the Wii and hopefully feature a great online aspect. We can only hope though because the Wii really has not shown its capabilities in that area.
