“Specific plans will be unveiled by our local subsidiaries, but in autumn or year-end launch would probably be too late.” – Satoru Iwata

Reggie said North America wouldn’t see the DSi until at least April 2009 and Iwata believes that the system shouldn’t be launched in autumn. Summer starts in June, so perhaps the DSi will be released in May next year. Definitely much later than our friends in Japan, but at least it won’t be arriving in December next year!

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.
