| naznatips said: As far as the rest of the Wii's lineup, most of the sequels to the GC's best selling games have yet to be released. Mario Kart DD and Super Smash Bros. Melee were the two best selling GC games and both of them are being released next year. Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Mario Basebal, and Kirby all have games set for release next year as well. Nintendo also has Wii Fit, Wii Music, Wii Chess, massive amounts of Wii Ware games, and Disaster: Day of Crisis as new IPs. That's not counting anything unannounced. From third parties they have Tales of Symphonia: KoR, Baten Kaitos 3, Oboro Muramasa, Fragile, Okami, Harvest Moon, Monster Hunter 3, King Story, FFCC:TCB, No More Heroes, Monster Lab, Wii Ware games like FFCC:TYKatPL, and more. |
