    on the wikipedia page, pengo has been under the 'coming soon' chart for well over a year.

    Description: Welcome to Photo Dojo, where you create a dojo filled with ruthless (or humorous) fighting machines using images of you and your friends. Use the Nintendo DSi system's built-in camera to take pictures of yourself and your friends in various poses, then use the built-in microphone to record sound effects and dialogue to give your warrior a voice. Choose one of the four available fighting styles, name your character and you're done. Better yet, repeat the simple, step-by-step process and create a lineup of up to eight fighters. Complete your game setup by customizing backgrounds and choosing from three awesome soundtracks, then prepare for battle. Two players can share one Nintendo DSi™ system to face off against each other in a one-on-one grudge match, while single-player mode offers the chance to pick your favorite fighter and take on relentless opponents of your own creation. If you're ready for some seriously offbeat kung fu action, Photo Dojo's unique twist on the side-scrolling beat-'em-up genre lets you use your imagination to set the stage for a fun-filled fight to the finish.

    Hmm. This is becoming an unhappy trend. Here's hoping for a good summer of classics.

    It would make better sense to do it the other way around. Not much is released between the end of Spring and the start of Fall, it's a dead zone where the least amount of money possible is made.

    But, ho, what's this?! Here comes Nintendo in the middle of Summer, sporting a bag full of yesteryear classics!

    NOA probably just wants to be sure people have their $2k monies set aside for Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the 23rd... Figure if a kid gets an allowance of $10/week, 5 weeks of no releases = a kid with $50 saved looking for a hot new game, and BOOM!
    NOA makes $2k monies themselves.

    are there any heavy hitter releases left? i love the obscure/rare/import titles, but the masses arent nearly as interested in them.

    Not many of those kids are going to be buying things like old arcade titles, Commodore 64 titles, NES titles, etc.

    So I'd hope that wasn't their reasoning.

    Plenty of major titles aren't on it. About the only thing that has a decent amount of coverage has been Nintendo's own back catalog.

    Bunch of Genesis and a decent handful of C64 and SMS titles. Plenty of NES and SNES series are still missing their second halves as well.
