The Wii will still live in 2012, release dates set for Q1

Nintendo Europe liven up 2012 for Wii owners with something at least

Skyward Sword may very well be the pinnacle of Wii games but that doesnt mean Nintendo isnt going to give up on the console just yet. Nintendo Europe has today announced its early 2012 release date list for the ageing console.

Theres nothing too exciting on the list that we didnt already know was coming but the next game in the Rhythm Heaven series has been given a new name and it will be called Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise when it arrives in Europe. Odds are it will be the same here in Australia.
