Nintendo dates 'Wario Land Shake' Wii, 'Rhythm Tengoku Gold' DS, other titles for Japan

Nintendo of Japan has rolled out its schedule for the summer session, dropping a few surprises along the way. First, Wario Land will graduate from handheld to console with Wario Land Shake for Wii on July 24. No further details have been given, so it's up to each of us to pray, dance, sacrifice some virgins (or whatever!) so that "Shake" doesn't end up an inept deviation from the mostly excellent Game Boy predecessors. Thankfully, DS owners will be served a far more promising sequel in Rhythm Tengoku Gold, arriving July 31 from the capable hands of Nintendo R&D1 (you know, the WarioWare team). Here are some highlights from the release date calendar:

• June 19: Mario Super Sluggers (Wii)

• June 26: Band Brothers DX (DS)

• July 10: Resident Evil Zero (Wii)

• July 24: Wario Land Shake (Wii)

• July 31: Fatal Frame IV: The Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (Wii)
  

• July 31: Rhythm Tengoku Gold (DS)
  

• August 7: Fire Emblem DS (DS)
