@Onyx: I guess what people are trying to say is that Nintendo has in fact decreased their releases from 2007 to 2008, and 2009 is looking to be even poorer, with only S&P2 and PunchOut planned for release.

I think that 2010 will be the year of the Nintendo games, 2009 maybe be the slowest year ever going by 1st party releases, and I'm telling you that 2008 was a really slow year.

Ok fine. You are correct. Nintendo front loaded the first year which caused the second year to look comparitively weak. It sucks. Something obviously got delayed behind the scenes. I guarantee you that Punch-Out and Sin and Punishment 2 will not be even close to how many Nintendo published games come out next year. If 2008 is this poorly put together with a quantity of Nintendo games, then that means 2009 will be another good to stellar year, just like 2007 was. Nintendo has too many teams for nothing to come out of them in 2009, considering that PO and S&P2 are not first party games, but second party.
