Nintendo and I have had our differences over the years, but even with a nearly endless capacity for petty, baseless grudges it's hard for me to ignore the epic list Nintendo has unveiled of their 2008 releases. I say epic because this is just the list for the first half of '08; and with nearly 150 games between the Wii and DS listed even I have a hard time maintaining a stodgy, no-fun visage. Sadly, miracles and Santa Clause still aren't real and Smash Bros. remains listed for release in March; but if nothing else Mario Kart for the Wii is on target for a Spring release. You can start blaming me for jinxing that now. Now with Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword and Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles on this list I'm sure to catch a fierce beating for even thinking this, but personally, I'm excited about Insecticide above all else. Hit the jump for the full list and tell us with which games you'll earn the scorn of your peers for being excited about. Wii
