Perrin Kaplan Interview with GameDaily:
GD:…the Q1 lineup for the Wii looks pretty anemic, honestly. And long droughts were a problem with the GameCube. Reggie Fils-Aime recently declared that there would be no droughts on the Wii, but it’s as if we’re starting to feel a drought already right now. I mean, when are we going to see Metroid or Mario?

PK:Well, first of all, number one you’re a hardcore gamer, and we’re selling to the masses as well. As I had mentioned earlier, there are millions of people who have yet to even experience Wii Sports. We’ve got 27 products between January and June, which gives people a lot to choose from, and that doesn’t even include all of the Virtual Console games.

I hope at they arent all 3rd party... i want something besides Super Paper Mario, hopefully one of brawl, galaxy, or metroid, but that doesnt look like the case.

Yep, 27 is a good number, but if they are Happy feet games, then 27 is less than nothing.

So that's around 4-5 titles each month.  Not great, but not terrible unless it's filled with really crappy 3rd party games.

Geez, you people act like you've never gamed before. There have always been droughts during the spring and summer, it's like that for all consoles, not just the Wii. Besides, we are getting Metroid, SSBB, and Super Mario Galaxy just to name a few. There will also be more 3rd party games that weren't mentioned.

If that is true, regardless of any PR discussion or excuses, for my money, that is really weak at any rate you look at it...

Some folks may say that quality all that matters, however, if he had more quanity in the library, in all likely hood, we would probably have more quality in the games...

After all, regardless of your feelings towards the PlayStation 2, you have to admit, one of the main reasons it was number 1 in the market place is due the likely fact that it huge number of games...especially in comparison to the GCN...

Also, with that being said, I do not care whether or not its 1st, 2nd or 3rd party, I want decent amount of games to choose from...and so far...Nintendo Wii looks as if it will have similar problems that plagued the Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo 64......by the way, virtual console does not count...
