But Nintendo didn't develop Eternal Darkness.

Perhaps they need more people to develop games since third parties aren't stepping up and they seem to have a gap the 2nd half of this year.

Has anyone tallied up the total third party announcements for the Wii versus PS3 and 360 multiplats and exclusives? I remember someone wanted to make a bet with me about that...


They don't develop the Mario Party series either.

Have their even been ANY announcements by any 3rd party yet?  If so i've missed them.

So far in the Wii's short life span Nintendo has already released or announced a game from most of it's core franchises.

Super Mario Galaxy (Super Mario Bros.)

Mario Party 8 (Mario Party)

Super Paper Mario (Paper Mario)

Mario Strikers Charged (Strikers)

Mario Super Sluggers (Baseball)

Wario Ware Smooth Moves (Wario Ware)

Wario Land Shake It (Wario Land)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Smash Bros.)

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Zelda)

Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast (Donkey Kong)

Pokemon: Battle Revolution (Pokemon)

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Metroid)

Battalion Wars II (Famicom Wars)

Fire Emblem: Radian Dawn (Fire Emblem)

Animal Crossing: City Folk (Animal Crossing)

 

So what does that leave them with as far as theri established franchises go?

Mario Golf (prolly waiting on Wii Motion +)

Mario Tennis (prolly waiting on Wii Motion +)

Kirby (Rumors are flying but still nothing concrete)

Star Fox (No word on a Wii version, although its likely, prolyl with another peripheral, flight stick?)

F-Zero (Miyamoto said this wouldent work well on Wii)

1080 (If Ubisoft can)

Kid Icarus (Come on ppl they havent touched this since 91)

Pikmin (IMO, Miyamoto's next project after Wii Music ships)

Zelda (Twilight Princess)  Port the other zelda is already in developement

Donkey Kong ( Barrel Blast) Spinoff

Advance Wars (Battalion Wars 2) < yes its the same series HOw is that. One is turnbased, the other is real time. They have different stories.

Punchout (ok fine)

Pokemon (Battle revolution)  That doesn't rule out another pokemon game, and I wouldn't even consider that a full game.

Ice Climber (This isint a series, it would be like ROB or Game & watch getting a game because of Melee) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Climber Looks like a game to me.

StarTropics (dident think anyone would remember this one :) )

Yoshi (ok fine)

Pilot Wings (ok fine)

Custom Robo (usually JPN only)

Golden Sun (more likely on DS then Wii, but ok fine)

Soma Bringer (more then likely JPN only.....but I guess since its new)

A.S.H (Ill be honest. I dont now what this is) It is a ds rpg owned by nintendo made by mistwalker(I think)

Kid Icarus (I dont know if we'll be seeing this game to be honest, its like Ice Climbers and Star tropics they havent touched it in so long)

Wave Race (ok fine, althoguh I think Nintendo is much more happy making this a game in Wii Sports 2)

Eternal Darkness (fine)

Elite Beat Agents (more likely on Ds but ok)

Luigi's Mansion )(Actually yes I think this might happen)

Nintendogs (So many people play it on DS i dont know why they would bother with a Wii version when a DS one would sell so good, but...)

Batien Katios(and other Monolith games) (since id like to see this)

Now not all of those games will be brought back on the wii, but there are many that could. Nintendo has plenty left. ALso consider new ips like Disaster Day of Crisis. Yes but i was specific about it being about exisitng IP's

So what I ask you is, has Nintendo pushed all it's franchises out the door to early?

They don't develop SSBB, Mario Party, and many other games either.

There have been more Custom Robo games then just the one GC game and the one portable game?

Zelda (Twilight Princess) Wrong - Already said they are making Wii Zelda.

Donkey Kong ( Barrel Blast) -He means a sequel to DK64, like promised at E3 2005

Advance Wars (Battalion Wars 2) < yes its the same series - no, they're not.  Originally it was planned that way but they changed it.

Pokemon (Battle revolution) He means a main Pokegame or Poke Dungeon

Ice Climber (This isint a series, it would be like ROB or Game & watch getting a game because of Melee) If you go by this logic, then there wouldn't be a Kid Icarus sequel either (The GB game was a port.

Custom Robo (usually JPN only)Yes, but the last two were released in NA

 

 

 

 

 

Also, why do you rule out new IP's.  They are what I look forward to most.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

 I know they will be making new Zelda / Donkey Kong games, Im just saying Nintendo already brought out all its big guns, I mean no one can ay for sure if Kid Icarus would sell consoles.

To answer your question, too early? no.

They have sold 28 million so fast because of the casuals AND the Nintendo Fanbase being motivated by the quick releases.

This Chrismas they will have Wario, Mega Man 9, and some good third party stuff (finally).  The core Ninty fans will have plenty to play.

Other core gamers that bought a Wii, well I don't know if the paltry 3rd party + new 3rd Party support coming by Christmas will be enough to keep them happy.  I am sure they will find something to play though or someone willing to buy their Wii at a premium.

I still haven't played through BWii or FE.  If nothing else comes out those are two games that I want.  But like I said before, there are a bunch of games I want this holiday.  Wario, MegaMan 9, Deadly Creatures, Mushroom Men, Tales of Symphonia, etc. etc. etc.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Let's be honest, how much of this is a knee-jerk reaction to the E3 showing? I don't doubt that we'll here more from them in the future, as I can't imagine that they've revealed their whole lineup so far (given what we've seen in the past).

 Honestly, I dont know if I was expetcing much from Nintendo at E3, I know its a media oriented event, and like Iv said before, Wii Sports 2 is more news in the mainstream media then the next Zelda or Mario, I was just asking what franchises Nintendo has left up their sleeves.
