Some official release dates for Europe were just announced by Nintendo, mark your calendars and start counting the days if you are interested in these games.

First we have Batallion Wars, this game has surprised a lot of people who weren´t expecting much since of this gamecube strategy game. Batallion wars has received good critics since it´s release on the US just a week ago and will be hitting european stores on December 11th. Why is this game shipping so late? i have no idea but it might be worth the wait.

Then there´s Mario Baseball, one of the Mario sports series games that are coming to the cube. This game will be available on November 11th.
