Does Nintendo have something bigger than Wii Sports Resort for X-Mas 2009?

[trestres]

Cosmic Walker won't be even remotely close to big, so I'd take that out, in fact none of the other projects Nintendo announced for Japan will be big at all probably most of them will never leave Japan.

Pikmin 3, Red Steel 2, Kirby Wii will be "big", but not as big as WSR, no. Besides we don't even know if they are 2009 games, the chances are they aren't.

Tales of Graces is probably either Christmas 09 or Q1 2010 in Japan.

MH3 will be big in Japan, hits this summer barring any delays.

RE won't be "big", in fact one of the smallest projects I'd say, but will hit before 2010. Same with TMNT brawler and Dead Space Extraction.

M&S at the Winter Olympics will be the closest thing (by millions might I add) to WSR. Yeah, 2009 game and will take advantage of the Holidays.

Guitar Hero, DJ Hero and The Beatles Rockband will be big as always, but they aren't Wii exclusive, so it won't matter as much as the other games. They will sell the best on the Wii, but it's not like people will be buying only Wiis for them.

Lastly, Zelda Wii isn't happening this year. I'd put it as the biggest game after WSR, but it's definitely a 2010 - 2011 game, so we take it out.

There's in fact other games that could hit Japan like SW3, FFCC:TCB but I'm afraid they could as well be 2010 titles.

Nintendo needs to make some big announcements at this E3, like 4 big announcements for 2009, because their lineup is empty as hell after Q2. They already gave third parties time enough to catch up (If you are to believe that, I always believed that they didnt release any games because they thought a few big hits were enough, like AC and Wii Music, but evidently, that strategy backfired and left the Wii bleeding badly in Japan) and if they don't release anything big for the core after Q2 they will be in troubles with a part of their audience. They know there are millions of people out there that will buy the Wii because of Wii Fit. The thing is there's also millions that would buy core games. Hopefully they have somethings for the 2nd haf of the year, but honestly I'm not holding my breath to deep.
