You really think something is wrong? I usually have only optimism for the unknown when it comes to Nintendo. They've only let me down 2times:

1) Gamecube was my favourite console and I believe with a better marketing angle and slightly different games they could have outsold Xbox significantly. The launch went SO well and then they let it slip.

2) 2009 Wii lineup.

Nr 1 isn't a personal gripe, I just wish they did more. Nr 2 is worrying because they have TONS of cash now and so many devs. Something could be wrong internally, but I have to rather believe that we're in for some awesome surprises.

Oh wow this thread's been going for a LONG time! LOL at those guys who said that 2009 is going to be best ever! XD

2010's going to be BEST YEAR EVER! Duh!

Well ,if you check, I predicted 2009 was going to be the worst year ever, contrary to what many predicted, as you have stated. I also predicted 2010 to be the most awesome year yet, but I'm starting to doubt now if that will be true. 2007 looks like it will stand unrivaled.

I hope 2010 will be OK, but when only 20% of their teams have announceds projects, something is going very wrong.

It does matter actually, I wonder if there will be huge SW droughts next year like it happened this year and the last half of last year.

It's not a good sign that none of the upcoming Wii games have an approximate released date. Could that mean that we will have the usual Q1 with 1 or 2 small games, a big game in Q2, and empty Q3 and 2 big games in Q4 for 2010?

Hopefully there's more than that, since 2008 and 2009 have been the slowest years in recent history for a Nintyendo platform. Rumours about the HD Wii make more sense now, teams may be actually working on games for it and the new handheld, so 2010 might be the last year with good Wii support. DS is getting zero support next year, so that kinds of backs up my thoughts.

Also, I'd say Zelda is 2011 and will be the last big game for the Wii, which makes sense, since the DS is also getting a Zelda at the end of its lifetime. GC, GBA, N64, GBC also had a Zelda game at the very end of their lifetimes. Wii will be no different.

Nintendo has its tentacles in every company in the world.

...and that's a good thing.

Tentacles? What do you mean by that?

@trestres

i think itl;l be better than your prediction since weve already got what ur predicting

3 Big Games: Galaxy 2, Other M, Wii vitality

2 small games: S&P2, Endless ocean 2.


we could get stuff like span smasher and line attack heroes next yera as well and they are sure to announce some new stuff at E3

Tentacles is an illusion tied to creatures who have 'many arms'.  It is also a phrase that has been coined to point to orginizations (or things) that connect to many things.  In this case, I was making a joke that Nintendo has its 'tentacles' (many connections) in all the companies in the world.  AKA making a joke that Nintendo was taking over the gaming world.

Long explination cut short: it was a joke.

Ok lol.

How was 2009 the 'worst year'?  For Nintendo internal, they released plenty, and they're capping off the year with New Super Mario Bros Wii and Zelda: Spirit Tracks.  And on the whole, this is the first year that the Wii has actually seen strong third party support, with some of the best games of the year coming from third parties (Muramasa, Little King's Story, etc).

Its total opinion what the 'worst' year of the Wii is.  I'd say it was its second year, after Nintendo threw out all its big name titles from launch and had a big gap in between while waiting to release Smash Bros/Mario Kart/Wii Fit.  And had close to NO third party support.  Its pretty sad when everyone is saying the best games on the system are games like Zack and Wiki or No More Heroes.
