If anything, this thread actually shows how bad the Wii's lineup is for the rest of the year. Rock Band: Beatles isn't exactly what I'd call a console pusher or even a big game, and it's multiplatform anyways. And most of the games are speculative at best.

 


Do we even know the extent of the lineup? You already know how secretive Nintendo is, and it's only April anyway. Unlike Sony and MS who announce stuff early...

What games are speculative? Some dates are, but we know about all those games except RS2 which will probably be announced soon anyway (probably some mags as some are hinting on it).

What's the last big release that Nintendo just announced out of nowhere and ended up coming out a couple months later? And the speculative games are ones like Zelda which I really don't see coming out this year since we've barely heard anything about it. Nintendo's not so secretive that they're completely random and announce things out of nowhere.

 

 

Wii Sports Resort and MotionPlus came out of nowhere...although those are releasing in July overseas. There was also Wii Music and Animal Crossing - announced at E3, came out before the end of the year. So yes, they can announce stuff for year's end.

Btw, I edited my post. Nintendo games aren't the only good games on the Wii...how come people always complain about Wii third party support but when there are some good ones coming they soon cry there's nothing from Nintendo and now the Wii lineup is bad? The lineup isn't bad at all.

Wii Sports Resort didn't come out of nowhere. We've known about it since E3 2008. Here's an article from 9 months ago talking about it. And now we're seeing Wii Sports Resort to release in Japan only in July, a year after this article was written. That time span isn't comparable to the one we're talking about here. Plus, we've known about Wii Music and seen beta models for it since 2006, and I don't think Animal Crossing required much development effort. At least not as much as a full scale Zelda game.

Of course Nintendo games aren't the only good games on the Wii anymore. Nintendo barely releases any good games, so they have to be coming from somewhere. The Wii lineup may not be bad (plenty of people could be happy with it), but it's very disappointing next to the HD lineups, which by all means shouldn't beat the Wii's library considering the lower userbases and higher development costs. Most HD owners have so many game releases flying at them that they can't think straight.

And I know it's 3 in the morning, but next time use commas. You confused the crap out of me with that last line.
