That only FIVE (5) Wii games came out in the US in april? And only one of those were rated above mediocre (Paper Mario).

I love my Wii, and I had great fun with it when it first came out, but Madden got old without online multiplayer, Godfathers not any fun since I beat it 100%, and COD3 has absolutely NO replayability. I'm personally concerned about the lack of Wii games coming out, and I was looking at the upcoming releases and their aren't many out there that look like they will blow my socks off. I'm not considering getting rid of my Wii or anything, I'm just crossing my fingers that some game under the radar will satisfy my needs (at least until the good 1st party games come out). Any one else feel the same way?

I only had enough money for one game in April, so it doesn't really matter to me that only one good game came out.

It should bother any Wii owner and anyone who is concerned about its future. I bought a Wii a few weeks ago but have yet to buy one game. I've been buying plenty of VC games though, and playing the hell out of Ocarina of Time and Super Castlevania.

I play Sports sometimes, but I find it kinda lacking. 

I just have yet to decide on one game I want to buy. I might buy Zelda eventually.

The Wii's future looks fine to me.  In less than six months, they've sold roughly six million Wiis.  In the next few months we're going to get Smash Brothers, Metroid Prime, Mario Galaxy, and a stack of second string games like Mario Party.  It would be great if Nintendo could put out a new AAA game every month, but that's pie-in-the-sky.

You bought a Wii a few weeks ago and haven't bought any games? Pardon me, but what the hell is wrong with you?
Buy Zelda, which will keep you occupied until developers start putting out some games now that they realize the Wii is going to be successful. I don't know why everyone on these boards is so damn shortsighted. Give it a bit. Many publishers can't afford to invest in a system until they know it's going to have the install base to sell a decent amount of copies of a game. With the Wii selling as well as it is, they will now know that it will be successful enough to make games for. It's been 6 months since the Wii was released. Give them a few weeks to realize how well the Wii is doing. That leaves them with 5 months to be developing games for the Wii. Do you really want a game that's only been in development five months?
Basically, everyone needs to just quit whining and give those poor developers a little time to put out some games.

I'm not saying the future of the Wii is doomed...just that they need to jump on the ball and start rolling out some quality titles.

I did say I might. I bought the Wii for games and also for VC games, which I am taking advantage of. Zelda looks good, but I don't know how much I would enjoy it. I am use to games like Metal Gear Solid, Ace Combat, and those types of games. That's the type of games I want to see on a Wii.

Zelda, Super Paper Mario, Trauma Center, SSX Blur, Godfather, Warioware, and Elebits are all quality titles. I'd say for only being out for 5 months it's doing pretty good. Some people are just impatient I guess.

That only FIVE (5) Wii games came out in the US in april? And only one of those were rated above mediocre (Paper Mario).

I love my Wii, and I had great fun with it when it first came out, but Madden got old without online multiplayer, Godfathers not any fun since I beat it 100%, and COD3 has absolutely NO replayability. I'm personally concerned about the lack of Wii games coming out, and I was looking at the upcoming releases and their aren't many out there that look like they will blow my socks off. I'm not considering getting rid of my Wii or anything, I'm just crossing my fingers that some game under the radar will satisfy my needs (at least until the good 1st party games come out). Any one else feel the same way?

dude, the Wii just came out 5 months ago, developers were cautious about the Wii and didn't start until after E306 and even then there were few, now there are tons of Wii games in development, 45 by nintendo alone.

Mercury Meltdown Revolution is coming out i think either this month or next month, and its only going to be $20 on RELEASE, so that could be a good time-filler.

I understand all of this, I'm just saying I feel like right now there are some major shortcomings in the variety of games coming out.

I said in my original post that the first party games were getting me psyched, but with that and the exception of a couple games (Madden, Mercury Meltdown) Nothing really seems that appealing to ME. I'm not doubting the Wii's future by any means, I have no doubt in my mind that the developers will start making games that own games from other systems, I'm just stating that I'm a little impatient, and would like a little more right now. All of my concerns would be nonexistant if the Wii would have came with online gameplay out of the box (not just for the stupid "Everybody Votes" kind of channels). But that's a completely different topic for another day. Everyone agrees it should have come standard, but it didn't, so I'll get over it.

i would say the wii has problems for skilled gamers at the moment.  I consider myself skilled, since one game doesn't last me for very long.  Making matters worse, I have particular tastes so I could never fill the void with top rated games like madden or ssx.  I always lean on games with replay value like wiisports in that time, but even that game gets long in the tooth and has no top echelon of difficulty.  Its still fun and all, but I would like the ability to fight a boxer with a 2000-3000 skill level.  I dont see much for me until mario, metroid, and project HAMMER.

Well simply put devs got caught with thier pants down, they were totally unprepared for the success of the Wii. Therefore they are still playing catch up.

Since when did voicing your opinion on a subject become complaining? I haven't complained once about there not being alot of games coming out, just voicing my opinion that I feel there should be more games with substance.
