I hope Nintendo doesn't pull this crap again in 2009

But Japan doesn't really work as an example, because we have weekly hardware sales numbers displayed here on VGC. The other regions had software droughts as well, yet the Wii kept selling steady. It's really only Japan that is affected, but as oyvoyvoyv pointed out, it's normal for that country to have low hardware sales all around at this time of the year (the PS2 sold at similar patterns).

Furthermore you have to consider that the quality of third party support for the Wii is increasing, so it's less likely that the Wii will face a similar problem next year (which wasn't a problem in America and Europe anyway).

Regarding the worthwile releases: If you make a blanket statement like "no worthwile releases for six months" while there have been some good games, you have to expect people to call you out on that, because what you said is only an opinion and not a fact.

Bolded: I could've chosen a better choice of words, but I hope you get what I meant. It is like what johnsobas said. If for example Ninty was to release StarFox, Kid Icarus, Pilotwings, and Hybrid Heaven 2 next year. They drop Starfox in Jan, Kid Icarus in March, Release Hybrid Heaven 2 in May then leave Pilotwings for November...with nothing else proceeding HH2. I hope they don't do that again.

They've adopted a philosophy of keeping their cards to their chest, so I wouldn't mind not hearing about a Pilotwings
if it is going to come in November. I'd hate to wait 5 months for something like that to release.

Italicized: The 3rd party support will be there; I am FULLY aware of that glorious fact. It won't seem so bad with that around. I just hope it doesn't happen again, that's all.

I got what you meant, that's why I listed games like Wario Land and Disaster in one of my earlier posts which were all released during the period you said that there was nothing. Btw, Hybrid Heaven is a Konami game.

@trestres

At this point it becomes really hard to talk to you without making harsh personal attacks, so let me just ask a simple question: Did you buy Wario Land yet?

I know, but I was running out of old N64 games to talk about lol. Excluding Kid Icarus.
