Nintendo is releasing two great games for the Wii, that were under-appreciated last gen, due to the lack of GameCubes in existance. Nothin' wrong with that. I'm looking forward to replacing my copy of Pikmin (which I "lost"), actually.

If Nintendo would remake Wind Waker, Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime 1&2, and SMS for the Wii, I'd be pretty happy, too. =)

Starcraftmaniac - sell your wii then. Go on, I dare you...

Chicken! sell it! Someone else really wants a Wii for Christmas, it's just selfish of you to hold on to it like this!

If you aren't going to appreciate the aweesome games coming out on the Wii from 3rd parties, then you don't deserve a Wii

I dunno if that's the only 2 that will be out in Q1 as was said in the Nintendo Minute there are supposed to be some "surprises" in store

From that list:

Must have for me
Little King Story
Madworld
Rune Factory: Frontier
The House of The Dead: Overkill
ire Emblem™: Shadow Dragon

Depending on Impressions
Tenchu IV
Coraline

If they're cheap:
We Ski and Snowboard

Only 1 Nintendo game. Interesting, a few years ago I wouldn't think on third parties on Nintendo systems. Anyway just give me my Fatal Frame Iv and everything'll be forgiven Nintendo.

Probably already mentioned, but Nintendo is simply making room for 3rd parties to succeed. They probably planned this downtime in late 2008/2009 to allow room for 3rd parties to sell with little to no strong Nintendo competition.

Its kinda sad really. Nintendo has to put gaps in its own great games because 3rd parties can't actually make games as well.

Nintendo is expected to "carry the water" for its consoles ... much more than Sony or Microsoft.

It puts it into a "damned if you do" and "damned if you don't" situation.

Personally, I think it is waiting for WM+ as well as to give a windows for third parties to have big splashes (come on down Sega!)

Plus, with its profits and the current global economic situation, it may be able to BUY some of those third parties (Nintendo buys SE -- no FF13 for you!).

Haha! I would love to sell my Wii if you gave me 250$ for it!... Oh; and BTW! When did I EVER say anything bad about 3rd-parties?... Everybodies spinning stuff these days! Jeesh, read the fucking op before posting!

Also; I know like 95+% of Wii-owners hasn't played Pikmin or Mario Tennis on Gamecube! But what I'm basically saying is the following; Keep the other 5% that DID actually buy a Cube last-gen also in mind please! There were 21 million, still something to consider when putting out only rehashed Cube games! And 1 new Nintendo game wouldn't have killed of the whole 3rd-party line-up so that argument doesn't hold too much ground as well! Cuzz I'm willing to bet something like Fire Emblem won't stand in the way of sales for MadWorld, Sonic or Kororinpa or something!

Oh; And for the Q1 line-up for Microsoft and Sony from their 1st and 2nd parties:

Microsoft: Halo Wars, Alan Wake.

Sony: Killzone 2.

I.m.h.o a little better then a 2001 and a 2005 Cube port with an extra level, 2 extra options and waggle controlls!

And seriously; For all the people that seem to claim that I was dissing 3rd-parties... I NEVER did! I'm actually looking forward to Tales of Symph 2 and MadWorld!

well, now those that bought only Nintendo games during the GC era can support the Wii by buying third-party games.

Nintendo publishes that in Europe. Just saying. 

Hint: That makes it first party
