Interesting. Too bad it's taking so long, though. I sure hope it's up to par anyway ^^

Well yeah but it'll go back to it's roots for sure, my best bet is that it'll be the Punch-out!! of 2010 and it'll have a Sin & Punishment 2 to back it up.. I'd have to look a bit deeper to take a guess at what that one might be..

Please let it be Starfox!

Endless Ocean 2 FTW! :p
I'm so looking forward to that game.

As for unanncounced games: I say don't hold your breath, don't buy into any hype and generally lower your expectations, even if they were low to start with. That way, you won't be disappointed like so many will be after E3.

Definitely. I think that's the best way to go about these things.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the biggest ubuntu/linux proponent on this site only supports nintendo as a game company?

Soleron is well aware of the irony, I believe - it has been remarked on before.

That said, he also supports the indie game scene. I think.

I want everything to be open-source/free software with one exception: games. Most applications are all about the method, so competition and interoperability are important and therefore it's better if the code is open. Games are pure creativity, so open-sourcing them wouldn't help anyone but would reduce developer income. To illustrate the difference: game engines should be open-sourced. Since none of the good ones are, we have wasteful, redundant development of features in parallel in the various engines. Take the feature "bump-mapping": it must have been coded over 20 times in different engines recently without any code sharing.

However I am still for consumer rights with regards to games, and I dislike Nintendo's DRM and region-locking practices, and how their console OS is closed. But it's not a deal-breaker since their core business is games.

@Khuutra:

Yes, I do support independent, open-source games. Nexuiz and Battle for Wesnoth are examples of good open-source PC games.

I make my own games using the closed Game Maker, which is why I also support its open clone ENIGMA.

I'm also a Ubuntu/Nintendo fan, so Soleron isn't the only one.

Anyways: Kirby, Kid Icarus, Pikmin 3

Those are my guesses.

So far for this year we got 2 new games announced, Excitebots and Punch Out. Last year for the first half we had 4 games, Brawl, Wii Fit, MKWii and Endless Ocean.
In 2007 we had 6 games on the first half.

Follow the pattern: 6 -> 4 -> 2

Same for the 2nd half: 6 (2007) -> 4 (2008) -> 2 (2009)

Nintendo are only going to release Wii Sports Resort and S&P2 in the second half. 4 new games in a whole year is really bad. Maybe Wii Fit plus is the holiday title and Reggie will launch S&P2 either in Q1 2010 or as a holiday title so we dont whine about no new core games. Remember they will fill up all the holes with GC ports.
