I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nintendo is relying on their big titles from early in 2008 for the holiday season and leaving room for third parties to flourish. Usually we count on Nintendo games to spearhead the Wii library, so this holiday season doesn't look nearly as strong as the previous one. But I think that the third party support has been upped and it shows a bright future for the Wii.

And I don't think enough of you are giving attention to James Bond: Quantum of Solace. Even if it ends up as an average game, the film will be so amazing that I won't be able to help myself enjoying the game. Plus, NHL 2K9 is coming out later in the year (not that I'm interested) and it should be fun with the Wii controls.

Tomb Raider Underworld should be fun on the Wii, and Skate It should be simple yet enjoyable. And don't forget about Animal Crossing. I think I'll be spending a lot of money this holiday season, and I won't regret it.

 

I agree. Nintendo knows that their big games will sell whenever they decide to release them, so why not put them out after the holiday season to help drive hardware sales year round? Why stoke demand in the holidays when you know you're going to have a hard time keeping up with it?

I'm pumped for Sam & Max, de Blob, and Deadly Creatures.
