There I was almost giving up hope on the return of our favorite paper based Plumber. This new list released today by Nintendo shows that a lot of great titles will be hitting stores in the coming months.

The majority of the time it’s usually the summer months which suffer from a lack of decent games hitting. Not this year however as Europe finally sees the release of Pokemon Diamond & Pearl as well as Elite Beat Agents, Tingles Rosy Rupeeland, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Puzzle League DS, Big Brain Academy Wii Degree, Trauma Center Second Opinion & Mario Party 8.

If Nintendo can keep up with great release schedules like this, I have no doubt they can also continue to outsell Sony’s PS3 5:1 here in Europe.
