I hope 2010 will be OK, but when only 20% of their teams have announceds projects, something is going very wrong. |
How was 2009 the 'worst year'? For Nintendo internal, they released plenty, and they're capping off the year with New Super Mario Bros Wii and Zelda: Spirit Tracks. And on the whole, this is the first year that the Wii has actually seen strong third party support, with some of the best games of the year coming from third parties (Muramasa, Little King's Story, etc).
Its total opinion what the 'worst' year of the Wii is. I'd say it was its second year, after Nintendo threw out all its big name titles from launch and had a big gap in between while waiting to release Smash Bros/Mario Kart/Wii Fit. And had close to NO third party support. Its pretty sad when everyone is saying the best games on the system are games like Zack and Wiki or No More Heroes.

Why do you include 3rd party games? We are talking about 1st party support, and this year has been the weakest I've ever seen from Nintendo themselves for any of their home consoles. Even more when you realize that this was supposed to be Wii's peak year (historically speaking, 3rd year is always the peak year) and thus receiving very strong support.
But nope, it didn't happen. We only got 5 new games and a plethora of GC ports. I can't see how is this better than last year when we got 8 new games (which is not a lot) or 2007 when we got 12 games.

...I talked about their first party support as well. And as I stated, is up to opinion to what is 'weakest' and I felt their second year on the Wii was weaker than this year. Which by the way, isn't over yet. And still has yet to release the bombshell that is known as New Super Mario Bros Wii. And you aren't factoring their DS games as well, as this thread is also about all the types of projects Nintendo is working on (including DS titles). Which Nintendo Internal released a lot this year (and still has more to go like Zelda: Spirit Tracks).
