Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Wii:

(Wii Sports)
Wii Play
Twilight Princess
Super Paper Mario
Super Mario Galaxy (bought two hours ago!)
Resident Evil - Umbrella Chronicles (will buy before I've had my Wii for a year)

(would buy Zack & Wiki, but lol Europe)

Not too many, since I managed to play Metroid Prime 3 and Trauma Center by borrowing, and then there's all the last gen consoles I've been playing. Got into console gaming again only two years ago, so there's still lots of great games I haven't played.

Have to continue in a 2nd post cause of PS3 limtation, sorry.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

For me it is:

Wii (8 games)

Wii Play
Zelda TP
Rayman RR
Excite Truck
Wario Ware
Sonic atSR
Super Paper Mario
Super Mario Galaxy

as a comparison:

Gamecube (12 games)

Luigi's Mansion
Wave Race BS
Monkey Ball
Mario Sunshine
Mario Party 4
NBA 2003
Starfox Adventures
Dark Summit
Crazy Taxi
Metroid Prime
Fifa 2003
Zelda TWW

I bought a little more games in the Cube's first year, but I can see the reasons quite clearly. Most important is that the Cube was only released in May 02 in Europe while he came out earlier in NA and Japan. That meant that a lot of games came out in the Cube's first year here while they came out in the second year in NA. Also, because of the May release, there were games released during the usual summer drought. Lastly, I didn't have too much time to play this year.



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

My first year for X360.....Since this is a gaming discussion and not Nintendo alone (oh so few X360 posters):

Call of Duty 2
Condemned: Criminal Origins
Gun (sold it reaaal quick)
Oblivion
Madden 06

______

Also bought Dead Rising and NCAA 07 FB, but both were after 1yr, but both games were made before Nov 22nd.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I've only ever owned one console in it's first year. (The DS Lite doesn't count right, because it's a redesign?)

Anyway...

Wii:

Wii Sports (still awesome fun, one of my favorite games)

Excite Truck (I don't think I've played it since last year)

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (my second favorite game of all time)

Wii Play (it's okay...shooting and tanks are the best by far)

Super Paper Mario (kinda begins to suck after World 3....still haven't beaten)

Super Mario Galaxy (SO MUCH AWESOME....25 stars)
