Wow. I haven't played Wii or checked the status of new games for 4-6 months now, simply due to a severe lack of games. Now, I come back to check what's new and there's absolutely nothing new in stores or on the release horizon....

This just makes me sad...Mario Galaxy, MP3, SSBB, RE:UC.....all the same titles as 6 months ago. I know there's usually a lack of games in the first year, but this is absolutely ridiculous... I want to play my Wii, but I have no reason to do so because there are no new games!

Bah! This is the worst generation of consoles I've ever experienced.

I understand you, but I don't mind if I have to wait a bit longer to get a better game. Think in any zelda they were announced and you had to wait for them more than six month, and in the end the result in a very good game.

There has been alot of new games... just try actually looking. Plus do you think it only takes 6 months to make a great game? No, it takes years. I am sorry that you are upset over the lack of games but thats just the way it is now, games are far far far more advanced now hence the longer creation time.

The Wii isn't the ps3 or a pc....it doesn't take teams of hundreds of shader artists to make a game look decent because it's running on a 1080p tv. The development cycle has been quoted by actual developers as required around 1/4 to 1/3 the resources of 360/ps3/pc games.

That, and I wasn't expecting that companies would start AND complete development within that 6 month period....developers have been working on games since long before the system was even released, and it's so close to the gamecube in architecture, that they could easily have been working on them as soon as the remote was finished. I just can't believe that nothing worthwhile made it to the shelves in that whole time. I don't expect a massive number of games, but a single great game in SIX MONTHS would be nice....

I played through SPM twice. Plus how about downloading OoT or Paper Mario. That can be time consuming. Sure I've beaten OoT on the N64 but its still fun after a few years and it can hold me over until the big 3. I even played through Super Mario World twice.

Third parties are lazy sobs. Most of them are still playing catchup pitching ideas.

So godfather blackhand edition and scarface aren't great games? You should look more.

Thats what happens when your an early adopter -- besides theirs enough good games to fill that gap until the Big 3+ come out.

Dude Im where you are, I have not found any interesting games to tide me over until the big banana of awesome games come out and honestly, I've been trying to save up for a 360 due to the boringness. so just be patient and wait, sell your wii, get a 360/PS3 or play your other consoles until you find afew good games to get.

Due to the games coming out buying a new wii will likely be impossible. Also why would you get a xbox 360 now you are getting a lemon also likely Microsoft will likely cut the price because the xbox 360 sales are in the crapper.

What about Battalion Wars? No More Heroes? Mario Kart? MoH? Super Mario Strikers? Table Tennis? Guitar Hero? Bully?

You simply haven't looked hard enough. With the exception of Table Tennis and Bully those are all new games.

I play my Wii all the time. I just beat RE4 the other day, and now I'm trying to get through some of my Gamecube games.
