What will Nintendo's Wii release schedule look like for 2010?

Well, I made a prediction in June 2008 saying that 2009 was going to be the year with the least releases for the Wii, and so far I'm correct, just 3 new games and only 1 more coming, so it's only 4 new games in the USA for 2009. At the same time I predicted 2010 to be the greatest year for the Wii, both in terms of quality and number of releases, so I do hope at least 12 games make it, the I will stand correct.

At least half of my prediction is OK.

But I'm afraid that NoA would not want to localize 70% or more of those games showcased at last October conference, so if there are any more games shwon this year, they may suffer the same fate. NoA needs to disappear and NCL take their place as a Global company headed in Japan. They make the best decisions, NoA is by far the worst aspect of Nintendo (Marketing, events, release schedules, localizations, PR statements, etc)

 

As Soriku already mentionned, NoA has nothing to say: all the big decisions are made by NCL, the best ones and the worst ones...

NoA and NoE are just there for the distribution and the promotion, nothing else... they have no power, they're just employees, and they have to deal with all the decisions made in Japan...

And in Japan nowadays, Nintendo thinks a 1st party game has to have at least a 500k potential to be worth commercialised overseas...

A game with 100k-200k sales? Thats good for X-Seed/Rising Star, but not for Nintendo: why would they spend  money on translation/distribution of "niche" or "hardcore" games when their mass market titles are selling so good?

Mario Kart Wii already equals the sales of at least 50 games like Disaster: Day of Crisis: they don't need that money anymore...

The same "niche" titles would have been localised during the GC days, for the "prestige" amongst gamers and fans, but now? Nintendon't care, and we all should know why, as we're all very well informed...

Sometimes, i miss the days when Nintendo was not N°1... if all that money don't go to more and more quality games on Nintendo consoles, and producing more powerful consoles, why should i feel happy with their new politics? I'm not a shareholder, i don't give a f*** if Nintendo makes tons of money... and you, trestres, should not have such an admiration for NCL: they can be real ass****s, and they've proved it many, many times before... and will (sadly) continue so in a near future...

 

 

i'm glad i'm not the only nintendo fan that feels this way
