An updated release date list provided by Nintendo brings us a couple of interesting tidbits. First, GameCube re-releases, which were never confirmed for a North America, will indeed be made available (Pikmin and Mario Tennis at the very least.) Interestingly, “Hosni no Kirby” is listed as well, which can only mean that there’s a Kirby game for Wii on the way…Right?! Well, we’ll see.

The updated list also shows that Punch-Out should be releasing in the first half of 2009 in North America, and Sin and Punishment 2 is still on track for 2009.

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata revealed in a roundtable interview that an early prototype of the DSi featured two software slots. After determining that the prototype was too big, an updated model only featured DS cartridge input. Iwata did not specify what type of slot was removed from the final version of the handheld, though we can only assume that the GBA slot was being referenced.

On an unrelated note, Shigeru Miyamoto was an influential force behind the addition of the SD slot. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m very appreciative of SD card support. It definitely helps to make managing memory easier.
