We have NMH2, RS2, EO2 and T vs C and then potentially MH3 and SP2 in the first quarter.

If i were Nintendo there is no way I would feel the need to throw MG2 into that list. Save it for the second quarter, afterall it was Q2 where the Wii stumbled this year and a loaded Q2 is what drove Wii to astronomical sales last year.

The Wii stumbled on the 2nd quarter because the first one was empty, as there were no new releases. Actually Q2 had 2 new games, which was the biggest quarter of the 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.

None of those are really big sellers though, with the possible exception of Red Steel 2. Nintendo have suffered from having too many quarters with no big releases in the last couple of years, I'd hope they'd try to avoid allowing game droughts to happen again.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Perhaps you are right about last year but It's not all about Nintendo 1st party all the time.  That's a fairly decent first quarter line up if we do in fact get those 6 games i listed.  If MG2 was released in that first quarter it's going to hurt the 3rd parties who've finally made some decent games.

Out of interest what did we get q2 last year, I don't recall.

@Demotruk: no big sellers perhaps, but still quite a few decent core games.

Nintendo released Punch-Out and Excitebots in Q2 2009, more new games than in any other quarter.

But this year it isn't empty, NSMB Wii, Red Steel 2, will still keep its momentum going through Q1, and we'll probably see MH3 and S&P2 in Q2, maybe even a few other games, like Tales of Graces.



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Tales of Graces and Monster Hunter Tri are supposed to be out before may, right?
With those two plus Fragile I've got more than enough.
If we add NMH2 and Redsteel 2 to that I think we have a great start up ahead of us.

MH3, S&P2 and ToG aren't going to do anything for Wii momentum, and Red Steel 2 has only an outside shot of being big.

S&P move consoles?? Lol? Neither will RS2, MH3 nor Tales of Graces.

Besides I was talking about Nintendo themselves, they aren't even supporting their own console anymore in comparison to what other devs do on the Wii. And most of their support goes to the DS.

NSMB Wii will be the main propeller of Wii momentum into the first half of 2010, the other games just have to help keep it up, so yeah they don't have to drive Wii momentum, just be moderate successes

So according to you, there should be no other game released, you know, if NSMBWii can manage to keep momentum up, why release more games? Gamers only care about momentum?

And I don't think NSMBWii will be able to keep the momentum after January ends, make no mistake, this isn't a Wii Fit kind of game. That game attracted millions of new owners, this will mostly be selling to gamers, Wii Fit managed to draw a totally new audience.
