Surprising release dates, eh. Didn't think those games would come so soon. Starting with MH3, it looks like the Wii's year is packed!
I'm really excited about what this means for the second half of the year.
And what's taking so damn long for DQIX? I want the game now! I'm glad Nintendo is publishing it though, hoping they can extend the series' popularity...
MH3, S&P2, SMG2 and MOM...whoamg! I need money. Can't afford all of these games...

I do like the sound of this.

* Metroid™: Other M, the incredible new Metroid game developed for Wii through a collaboration by Nintendo and the world-renowned Team Ninja, launches June 27. The game looks at the classic franchise from a new perspective: While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past.

Thats the full quote btw.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Yeah, it's going to be a clear "success story", but I doubt it's as big as some are expecting/hoping. I mean when you get down to it, MH really is a hard sell. It's as brutally difficult as Demon's Souls, as esoterically complex as Shiren the Wanderer, except it's also almost 100% skill/pattern based (while DS/Shiren have a HUGE luck component), with a totally manual camera and no lock on. Plus it's online focused on the console with probably the least online focus this gen. I'm also unsure of targeting the "Zelda crowd" will work, what with an actual new Zelda coming later in the year and the games really being almost nothing alike.
On the other hand, Nintendo's pushing it, and they could sell icecubes to eskimos. it's probably okay to stay a bit more upbeat about it's chances, and I'd say my predictions are probably more on the conservative end (at least for the US). I think lifetime worldwide, MH3 will probably crawl past 3m, which will make it Capcom's best selling (console) SKU this gen.
Personally, the title I'm more curious about is DQIX. I bet they add online play and trading for the west, and with Nintendo behind it it may even be a US million seller (Europe's guaranteed, DQVIII shipped 1.2m there already).
A nunchuk-free Metroid? Didn't see that one coming.

Holishit MOM! So it's like Shadow Complex but with GOOD 3D shooting. ;)
Also, I just realized the Black Wii was a no show? Guess they're saving it for a holiday Zelda bundle...
