People go on about how Wii only sold because of a gimmick but it had a pretty stellar lineup in its first year. |
The Wii lineup was amazing. It was wave after wave of great games. Sadly, most videogames take a long time to make, and most of those A-AA games have lost a lot of steam over the years (Brain Training, Wii series, WarioWare...). Nintendo really needs to expand and get more studios, or manage to get 3rd parties to fill their lineups.
