Forums - Nintendo - What are the big holiday games from Nintendo?

Hmmm, last year they had Animal Crossing and Wii Music, now this year what will they have?

For the rest of the year, the confirmed line up goes like this

Wii

WSR and M+ Q3
Metroid Prime Trilogy Q3
Wii Fit Plus Fall 2009 (Q3/Q4)
NSMB Wii Holiday 2009 (Q4)

S&P2 Q1 2010
Endless Ocean 2 Q1 2010
Monado: BotW TBA
Span Smasher TBA
Line Attack Heroes TBA
SMG2 2010
Metroid Other M 2010




If only the first 4 are released then we have for Q3 WSR and MP Trilogy with a possible NPC Pikmin 2, while for the Holidays we have Wii Fit+ and NSMB Wii.

If this is the final lineup, this year will go down in history as they year with the least amount of new first party games released on a console, only 5. So I believe there will be something we don't know about, 2007 had like 12 new games, 2008 had 8, 2009 has 5 new games?

But this only applies to the USA, Japan is getting like 14- 15 new games this year.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Galaxy and NSMBWii

maybe a couple hidden suprises too.

Was Galaxy 2 confirmed for 2010?



Its a decent lineup, but when you see the 3rd party exclusives its a stellar lineup. Where did you find the S&P2 release date? I was hoping for that in the holidays.



Support good third party games on wii. Buy games like house of the dead overkill, de blob, madworld, the conduit and boom blox.

They do seem to have a sparse line up for 2009, even with their E3 conference over.

2010 is already looking impressive, if Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M make it out. Combined with the TBA games, next year could already have 7 first party Wii releases.

I'm thinking NSMB Wii and Wii Fit Plus are the big holiday games. Bigger than last holiday, I should think.

Could 2010 be a big first party year?

Pikmin 3 has to be a 2009 release, Pwiis Nintendo!

The Metroid release date appears at the end of the trailer, and the galaxy one, I thought it was 2010, now I'm not sure.

I don´t think they´d release 2 Mario adventure games so close to each other...so, if NSMB Wii is coming out this year, expect Galaxy 2 for 2010.



I'd expect SMG2 for 2010. I don't think they'd put two Mario games that close together.
