Good evening/morning. Where did you get your information as it is different from mine?
This is what I saw with both Sonic games having no date as of yet:
The Legend of Zelda (NES) — 5th July.
The Sword of Hope II (Game Boy) — 12th July.
Kirby’s Pinball Land (Game Boy) — 12th July.
Tumble Pop (Game Boy) — 19th July.
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (Game Boy) — 19th July.
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 — 26th July.
Ah, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8G3pvLcz64

I had left WarioLand off that list. Added it on the 19th.
But that joystiq article is wrong. The video I linked to is straight from Nintendo.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll verify all the information again and update the article as needed. All the dates are still in July if I understand correctly, I just have some of the weeks listed wrong.
My money will be spent on Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and Wario Land. Getting restore point functionality for Zelda is a nice bonus, too.
That functionality should be a free update, which will be nice. I really want to play Kid Icarus. I’ve heard it’s better than the NES game and I really liked that one after finally getting to play it. it’s brutally hard, but actually a really solid game once you get the mechanics down.
We’ve had Restore Points on Zelda for a while now, and many of those games. I’m amazed how far behind NoA are
