Publishers try to have their biggest vids on the shelf before the Thanksgiving weekend, so the tail end of November through December looks a little paltry. Here are some notable video games on shelves soon:
Nov. 28
MARIO & LUIGI: PARTNERS IN TIME — Nintendo — DS
Sequel to a first-rate GBA RPG from 2003.
Nov. 29
PRINCE OF PERSIA: TWO THRONES — UbiSoft — PS2/XB/GC
Hopefully, the heroic Prince can cut down on the brooding this time.
Dec. 1
DEAD OR ALIVE 4 — Tecmo — 360
Tecmo uses the Xbox 360 to power some serious next-generation jiggle.
Dec. 5
ANIMAL CROSSING: WILD WORLD — Nintendo — DS
The GameCube cult sensation (a screenshot from which appears at left) goes online on the DS hand-held.
