Citing unnamed sources, CVG reports that three of Nintendo’s biggest games – the Wii duo of Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3, along with Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for DS – will not be released until Christmas 2007.

CVG also contacted Nintendo who confirmed a 2007 release date for each title and did not deny the Christmas release dates.

We never confirmed a date for Super Mario Galaxy, but I can confirm that Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Phantom Hourglass will all release in 2007. We can’t confirm an exact release date for any of these titles at this time,” said a Nintendo rep.

It will certainly be a massive disappointment if all three titles are a year away from release, with many Wii purchases likely made with the hope of playing Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 in the near future.
