@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.

 

 

I don't know, as you said all games coming out next year are this: Wii Sports Resort (first party), Punch-Out (third party), S&P (Third Party), the GC Ports, which IMO shouldn't be counted. I strongly believe Nintendo didn't think Wii was gonna be successful therefore they didn't start making games again up until this year. As we know good games take up to 2 years, so Nintendo might be asking us to be patient and wait 1 - 2 more years until we see new games. Probably that's why their line up is so poor and sad next year, even worse in Europe. Japan is getting all the goodies though, about 15 Nintendo published games. And still there in Japan, only Wii Sports Resort is a first party game.

Your ignorance is baffling me trestres. How do you explain the front loaded first year if Nintendo had no faith in the Wii? Nintendo has never stopped developing for any of their consoles, regardless of how hopeless hardware sales were. Even Gamecube was getting titles pushed into America as late as 2005 and 2006. Your logic isn't making sense. You're basically saying Nintendo has continued to pay hundreds of people on their teams to sit on their asses and wait until Nintendo gives them the go ahead to make more games. What were they doing in the meantime, playing mahjong in the break room every day? Do you realize how crazy you sound when you make these conspiracies up?
