Having bought my Wii and several games I became interested in just how many games are available (or coming soon).

So being slightly obsessive compulsive I checked a few internet sites and created a spreadsheet of every title I could find that had some decent information about it (screenshots, coverart, press release etc).

Sites referenced were: Chartz.com, Amazon.com, EBgames.com, wikipedia among others.

So, how many titles did I find? 377 with about 75 actually released. There maybe a few duplicates i.e. Japanese titles vs English titles and there will be some that will not be released or turn out to be rumours. I figure that if only 75% of these see a final release that is still 280 odd titles available or in development. I hope the stores that stock the Wii are preparing to put in more shelving!

JRI.

Well, Reggie said that there were 60 Wii games out currently (NA), and 100 more would be coming out before the end of the year.

I assume Japan is getting a lot more than that, though some would be duplicate.

No posting or links to said spreadsheet? I guess I'll have to do my own work to learn things again. Actually, I check out Wikipedia's list every once in awhile.
