| trestres said: Nintendo didn't release a lot this year. Here's 2009: Excitebots by Monster Games, Punch-Out by Next Level, Sin & Punishment 2 by Treasure (Japan only), Endless Ocean 2 by Arika (Japan only), NHK Battle Quiz by NHK Enterprise (Japan only), Another Code R by Cing (Japan only), Takt of Magic by Taito (Japan only), Tingle's Balloon Trip by Vanpool (Japan only)... all third party developed. They have released Wii Fit+ (Which is not really a new game, barely an expansion) from EAD5. Wii Sports Resort by EAD 2. NSMBWii by EAD 4. PokePark: Pikachu's big adventure by Gamefreak. (Japan only) Zelda ST by EAD 3. Pokemon HS/GS by Gamefreak. (Japan only) M&L Bowsers Inside Story by Alpha Dream. Tomodachi Collection. (Japan only) Chibi Robo DS by Skip. (Japan only) WarioWare DIY by Intelligent Systems. (Japan only) Only 4 games for the Wii made by internal teams, 6 for the DS. This has been the problem this gen with Nintendo. Disproportionate quantities of games for the DS compared to the Wii. Wii is on its prime and is getting less games than the GC did on its last year, while DS is on its last breaths and still gets more support than the Wii. Pretty much confirms what I have been saying. Plus less than half of the games make it to the USA, so it adds more to my point. |
First of all, the DS is hardly on its 'last breaths'. They just announced a fourth version of the DS today. Second of all, a number of the games you are citing as 'Japan Only' such as Sin and Punishment 2 and Endless Ocean 2 are in transition to the international market and not staying in Japan only.
