This is really quite bad... by this time last year we already had Galaxy 2 right around the corner, and we also knew quite a lot about Metroid. We also knew about Epic Mickey from Disney, not to mention MHTri was being released in the west, as well as TvC, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 2, Endless Ocean 2 and Sky Crawlers all having been released already!

I should also mention Fragile Dreams and Trauma Team. Now obviously I haven't had the chance to purchase all of these yet, and am still working on my backlog, but it just seems incredibly unbalanced and foolish to dump everything you've got in the span of twelve months and then to forget about it completely...

Are there no developers working on a different schedule? Did everybody just have games ready for last year with nothing to follow through?

And Reggie: How about releasing some games in the US that are already out in Europe?

Remember Pikmin 2? Why haven't we received that yet?? Another Code? Hell would you at least announce Xenoblade already??

Why isn't IGN or somebody interviewing Reggie about this embarrassing drought?

Probably because he will say that NoA is still "juggling two big balls"

Yeah, one being the 3DS and the other being the Wii2

But seriously, there are more than enough good games for the Wii I haven't played yet, and I obviously intend to use this time to make up for that. Currently playing Sonic Colors, and after that I might get myself a copy of Klonoa (if I'm still hungry for platformers) or Fragile or Trauma Team (if I'm not). I even have games from 2009 left to play like RE:DC and Silent Hill.

For anybody with a sufficiently broad, flexible taste there shouldn't be a problem to find games to play. The situation is more of a perceptual problem because Nintendo is giving the impression that the Wii has disappeared, which makes customers less secure about investing in it. Uncertainty and entertainment do not go hand in hand very well...

I appreciate a good surprise as much as anyone else, but I wish we could at least be given a confirmation about games we aren't sure about, just to settle the storm a bit so to speak. I know I would feel relieved knowing that games like Xenoblade, Earth Seeker, Last Story, Rodea, Tales of Graces, Pikmin etc are still coming, even without any further info. Kind of like what we just got about DQX.
