The amount of information revealed Nintendo’s recent media summit is too much to put into clever paragraphs. So here is just everything you need to know as bluntly as possible.

Mario Galaxy 2 is coming out on May 23rd. The game is harder, has 240 stars but no hub world, and you can ride Yoshi and power-up him up with dash peppers and blimp berries. The Super Guide is also being considered.

Metroid: Other M is coming out on June 27th. The gameplay is a combination of 3D rendered, fixed camera classic Metroid sidescrolling, Metroid Prime first person action, and lengthy cutscenes featuring a rather talkative Samus fresh out of Super Metroid.

Monster Hunter Tri is coming out on April 20th. Capcom moves this pretty PSP system seller to the console in a attempt to finally connect with Western gamers.

With so much information finally known, only one question remains: where the heck is Golden DS? I guess we will have to wait until E3 to find out about the rest of 2010. Zelda anyone?
