Far-flung release dates on Gamestop are rarely accurate, since they give publishers so much time to change their minds. But as of right now, February 2009 is slated to be the best time for Wii owners (or gamers in general) who like over-the-top, silly gore, thanks to a sequence of high-profile releases.According to the retailer's website, The House of the Dead: Overkill comes out on February 3, followed by Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers on the 10th, and then MadWorld on the 24th. Of course, the next game on the list is Sadness, but that's neither ultraviolent nor an actual release.
We predict delays for at least two of these games which will push them out of the same month, but if such a confluence actually does occur, just go ahead and try not to watch any TV news or read any newspapers this February.

I totally handed those valentines out in 3rd grade.
Nothing says Happy Valentines Day like pizza and ninjas.

wait, did they date every possible hit 3rd party game ('cept the conduit and d:doc) in the same month?
if the point of these games were to raise the awareness of the wii being capable of core appeal, then spread them out and leave people wanting them rather than all at once.
oh and i have no money.
