But of these, only Mario Party 9 was actually new - the others had all been shown (or in the case of Fortune Street, released already [in Japan]) before. Whatever way you look at it, there are very slim pickings for Wii owners from now on, and the Wii U could still be 18 months away. Such a situation with the GameCube was disappointing, but understandable given the low userbase/software sales. For the market leading home console, I think it's a bit disgraceful - if I was a shareholder, I would want to know why the company wasn't taking advantage of such a large userbase by releasing at least a few titles from sure-seller franchises thus far (and presumably now always to be) ignored this generation. (And surely Luigi's Mansion 2 lends itself more to Wiimote control than touchscreen control?)
