Big Releases

Okay, so we have had...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Animal Crossing (I forget the title, hahaha.)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy

Along with maybe a few others..

Where are the rest? I bought a Wii, expecting some great first party Nintendo titles. Are any planned? What's up?

If you're counting exclusives, you can take off LoZ: TP too. :-\

I'm there with you Hines. I have a Wii that is sadly only an after thought. I play my Dreamcast more than I do the Wii. I love my Virtual Console collection, but that's not enough for me. All I can say though, is I'm sure Nintendo's getting sick of being pelted by hate mail all the time...so we should hear some announcements soon. It shouldn't take 4-5 years to make a Zelda or Mario game.

That's a very good question Hines. It's been talked about for a while.

Yet you have to actually add Wii Music and Wii Fit into that list. Also, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

After amazing releases in 07' and 08'. It seems Nintendo wanted to focus on other audiences that don't even play games, by making games they want to play.

Only thing major we have to look forward to, is Wii Sports Resort apparently.

Plus re-releasing GameCube classics is another tactic they are trying. Pikmin on Wii, which I own is actually not too bad.

Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil Remake are coming as well finaly. Oh plus, Metroid Prime 1, Donkey Konga, etc.

Yet that doesn't help the situation that Nintendo faces now. Since nobody, but me maybe, loves remakes and re-releases :lol

However, what's more important is what SHOULD Nintendo do? They gave us what we wanted, but what could help this first party?

Edit: I forgot to mention Super Paper Mario and Mario Kart Wii.

Oh and Wario Land Shake It? Such a great game!

Let's not forget the upcoming release like PUNCH-OUT!!

I don't care for my Wii. I've been all over my PS2 recently so it's been collecting dust. Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, No More Heroes, and Madworld seem to be the only interesting titles for me right now...

there's been more inside the Wii library that meets the eye

ok so besides the ones already mentioned above i am going to mention a few more first party games that i own and enjoyed (though i have to re-state that Radiant Dawn is a love letter for hardcore fire emblem fans who know the ropes of fire emblem)

-Mario kart Wii = great on-line service and the addiction of mario kart games.
-super paper mario = the fusion of platforming and action RPG, a game with a great charm for its story and gameplay
-warioland shake it= often overlooked but this game is pure warioland madness at its finest
-warioware smooth moves= wacky, crazy, random and a heck lot better than average minigame games out there

and a few ones that were announced that grabbed my attention
- wii sport resort (mostly because of wii motion plus...after that i am probably going to sell the game just like wii play xD)
- Trace memory R: loved the first one for DS and i cannot wait for the second one
- captain rainbow: as weird as it sounds (and it might not even come to america) it looks like it could be a fun game (plus is something new)
- Dynamic Slash: it was recently announced...but not much info about it, just a very brief video of a woman slashing giants with a sword and defending herself with a shield
- punch out wii: come on how could someone forget about this one XD
- Sin & Punishment 2: if it is at least half as good as the original then it will be a great game because the first sin and punishment was an amazing on-rails third person shooter, with a weird storyline.


also remember that nintendo is not taking 4 or 5 years for a zelda game... they released phantom hourglass in 2007 and now they will release spirit tracks this year (hopefully).. yes i know its a DS game but nintendo has to take care of the DS now more than ever because of the recent release of DSi.

plus there is a bunch of great 3rd party games out there for the wii, madworld was released recently and that game kicks butt

Big releases are of course opinionated. Though for me, big releases would need to sell well. Madworld is selling terribly. Absolutely awful, and that's sad, because it's my second favorite Wii game behind Mario Galaxy. And when I say making a Zelda game, I mean console Zelda games. I don't think the team that does the DS ones also works on the console ones. They're two different teams.

My Wii is a professional dust collector.

I think the next game I'm looking forward to is Muramusa.

well i guess i stand corrected, i do not care about that kind of big releases then. (or else i would have bought wii fit)

and i guess it does take that much to make a console zelda game.... many other games have lasted way longer in development process, though most of the development team of spirit tracks/phantom hourglass is part of the original zelda team
