Then you would know, delays were everywhere on that console. Especially my beloved Smash Bros. Brawl.

I recall a few, like Skyward Sword, but the vast majority seemed to come out on time, and before 2011 I was never starved for games.



You are totally missing games like Metroid Prime 3, Trilogy, Mario Strikers Charged, Battalion Wars 2...

Delays are always going to happen.

That's still quite a bit less than Wii U.



I am not going to go through every first party delayed title. I am just going to say more of them were than you care to remember. Maybe you paid less attention last time around? Or nostalgia got you on this one. Delays were bad during Wii's run.

Or maybe there just weren't as many? With Wii, until 2011, I was never starved for games. Since I got the Wii U, I have been regularly.



Are you crazy? Before Wii even came out Metroid Prime, Smash Bros and Mario Strikers were all delayed.

That is before the console dropped.

Mario Galaxy was delayed. Wii Fit was delayed. Basically every big Nintendo title was delayed. Some, like Smash for years. Others like Metroid, more than a year. Some like Galaxy, a few months.

Come on man where were you, really?

So far, your list is shorter than Wii U's, and Wii U is just over two years old.

And unlike Wii U, Wii had a steady flow of games to fill the gaps.



Elebits, Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Wii Play were all delayed BEFORE Wii was released.

And that is with no effort... just a google search. Add the games you want from that list and this is just games delayed before Wii dropped. Not to mention further delays from thee initial delay time, or other games that were also delayed in the process.

Basically what I am saying is, I am not going to try. I am just going to say people made this topic about Wii back in 2009. Games were delayed and Wii had major droughts. It is to the point now where I have gotten passed being upset and just expect it.

Play Smash 4 for the next year along with Monster Hunter. We in there!
