Somehow, I am NOT expecting Mario Golf or Mario Tennis.
If there was going to be a Mario Golf, there would not be We Love Golf coming out. Not that Nintendo does not want third-party software, but rather it probably would not let the company that has twice done Mario Golf do essentially the same game for another developer.
Similarly, Sega Superstarts Tennis on the Wii is similar to what Mario Tennis would be -- all be it with Sega characters (and cross-platform to boot). So the current demand for a character-based tennis game may not be high (and the demand may not exist at all after the Sega game did not fare well -- which is a shame).
Also, since Nintendo has released four super-star-sellers since December (SMG, MKWii, WiiFit, and SSBB has all sold at least 5M copies WW -- giving them at least a 17% attach rate), it is doubtful that tennis or golf would be released before 2009 (along with perhpas another Mario Party).

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
