They've lost quite a few...

Let me be the first to say that Wii's 09 lineup is just as good as that of the HD consoles (exclusives atleast...).

I'm with trestres on 08 though. The absolute worst year of any console I've ever owned. 2 games worth buying this year. Yes, TWO. And they weren't even that great.

 

Wow, the worst year EVER?!? You clearly didn't own a N64 or Gamecube...

This year wasn't great by any standard, but not bad either. Brawl / Mario Kart / Symphonia (US) / Disaster (EU/JAP) / Shaun White (try it, it's fantastic) / de Blob / Monster Lab / PES 08 /  World of Goo / Okami / Mega Man 9 / Strong Bad series / LostWinds / Animal Crossing / Skate It / Mushroom Men

But I think Matt is right when he says that 2009 is shaping up to be a great year. (Anyone notice the announcement of 2 core EA titles, wonder what they are).

 

I think its the Tennis wimbledon thing and Harry potter as Wii as the main platform. YEAH, thats it... Unless theres a MOH: H2 sequel with updated graphics, cinematic feel campaign singleplayer, splitscreen multiplayer and online mode with now search and destroy exclusive for the Wii. But never happen...

@esa-petteri----> Do you really think the owners of Wii and Wii Fit are most casual gamers? Do you really think Wii owners in general are casual? Do you really think Ninty just cater to the usual casual crowd forever? YEAH, theres something good Nintendo in their sleeves we just have to wait till 2009. Thats all I can tell. We all knew it will coming anyway. The october conference was just the start.
