In addition to dating major releases like Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo revealed release dates at E3 for several other first-party titles on the Wii.

Kuju Entertainment's tactical arcade warfighter Battalion Wars 2 will hit stores along with Arika's diving adventure title Endless Ocean on October 29, followed by Intelligent Systems' medieval strategy game Fire Emblem on November 5.

Previously known as Forever Blue, Endless Ocean is the spiritual successor to the Everblue titles developed by Arika for the PlayStation 2. The games had players diving for treasure and taking photographs of ocean mysteries. Other features include online play and the option for a custom soundtrack from music stored on an SD card.

Also, Paon's jungle racer Donkey Kong Barrel Blast will arrive in stores October 8. An updated version of the scrapped GameCube title DK Bongo Blast, Barrel Blast replaces previous DK Bongo controls with Wii-mote gestures.
