Well unfortunately I really have no other choice thanks to Nintendo's skimpy release lineup... besides, it's way better than getting excited over "Casual Mini-Game Collection #1,924,567... WITH bonus useless accessory that has zero gameplay value for FREE!"

I'm not knocking anyone else's opinion at all... IMO its an OK line-up of games but there's no top-tier AAA game coming out for Wii that I'm personally looking forward to anytime soon.

I bought a Wii to enjoy Nintendo's AAA quality titles, but unfortunately since they've all but abandoned the hardcore market in favor of mass appeal, those kinds of games are becoming much more scarce.... back in the day Nintendo didn't have to dumb down its premier franchises to appeal to the casual audiences.  The Metroids, the old Zeldas, and of course the Mario Bros. series were pretty tough and yet could still be thoroughly enjoyed by virtually anyone, and that went for most AAA games during the NES/SNES heydays... playable for everyone but gave a serious challenge.

BTW, here's my lineup of games that I'm lookin forward to playing for the rest of '08...

Wii.. Wario Land, and maybe CoD5 if online is solid.  That's it.

WiiWare... Rest of the Strong Bad series, Mega Man 9, maybe some VC games if Nintendo finally gets off its ass and gives us some type of storage solution, be it a firmware update for SD cards (which i would very much like) or some proprietary hard drive (which i would very much NOT like).

360...  The Force Unleashed (not the watered down Wii version), Ghostbusters (ditto, although now it's delayed indefinitely, argh!) Left 4 Dead, Gears 2, Banjo-Kazooie (praying to whoever's up there that it does NOT suck), Fallout 3

Xbox Live... Braid (which I just picked up, awesome game) Bionic Commando Rearmed, and Portal

4/20 (didn't include NMH2) interest me.

If I somehow get the money...I will buy at least 8 of those. What shocked me was Deadly Creatues listed for ealy 09. Wasn't it supposed to come out in Sep. or Oct.?

lol, and think that "in 2008-9 Wii will fail because there will be less Nintendo games"

come on, all 21 of these games are great!!

i hope red steel 2 comes out this year, but there was a large amount of shooters in there compared to last year.

Anywho its a good list to my standards i want about 7 of those games there

I knew I was wrong... haha.

Thanks!

Am I the only one looking forward to SPRay?

What happened to; Spore, FFCC:CB, Sky Crawlers and Sim City >.

I agree with this.  Quite frankly I am only interested in one of those games, and that is Dead Rising.

It looks like my Wii will continue to get more play time than my Xbox 360. Much better games this year even if it turns out I actually like Fable 2 and it doesn't suck like Fable did.
