I'm with Niero on this one.

I hope you are right about that Neiro...that would rock my socks

It'll be Smash, Metroid, Mario...in that order. So Mario in 2007? HAHAHAHA. Sorry. :(

Thats your fault for living in Europe.

dvddesign,

A Mario Platformer came out last week. It would be a grevious error for Nintendo to release two Mario platformers in the same year. They'd only cannibalize their own sales. Average consumer is going to look at the boxes and think, why get SPM when you can get SMG.

@ dvddesign:

I'd rather a Mario platformer be awesome than out at launch myself. Nintendo releases their games when they're fully polished, and that's worked out for them well in the past. That's what makes first party Nintendo games what they are. Meh, I guess I'm just more patient than most people.

@ Summa:

I know you're trolling, but was that game any fun? I usually enjoy the hell out of Mario Sports titles when three friends and some booze are involved, and heard good things about Strikers. Sega Soccer Slam was great stuff in a group, I'm hoping for something like that.

Anyway, I'm fully hoping to see the game this fall. If not, I'll somehow manage to survive.

@ Mxyzptlk, concerning Strikers

I know I enjoyed it.

Oh goody! Three AAA games (Metroid, Mario, and Smash Bros.) in the span of the last 3 months of the year! Three must-have reasons to buy the system, straight from Nintendo! And then...the vast wasteland.

(As of right now. Please prove me wrong, Nintendo and third-parties.)

Metal Gear Solid? This year? Hahahahahaa

"Metal Gear Solid? This year? Hahahahahaa"

Yeah I thought I was the only one to catch that...

Kannon, while I'm not particulary interested in these games, there are a lot of people who are...

June 26, 2007 - Ninja Gaiden Sigma (played on xbox)
July 31, 2007 - Lair (pretty! but replay value?)
August 2007 - Heavenly Sword (pretty, but not my style)
September 2007 - Home (and yes, IMO it's just a game)

It's not much, but after dealing with the drought that PS3 owners will have been through, it'll be heaven I'm sure. :P

Whats all this talk of Nintendo releasing games? They don't need to anymore. Don't expect any of the big games until the 360 and PS3 start making a dent in the Wiis current dominance. Why bother releasing games if you don't actually need them to sell your system? Nintendo will hold them back as long as they can, not because they need to but because they can get away with doing so.

That might sound batshit crazy in an industry where its the software that is important, but we are talking about Nintendo.

Mario Strikers would actually cause me to play the Wii again.

Yes I do. I own all three next gen consoles. Yes I will provide pictures if you do not believe me.

Can I ask why you ask? The reason I am being critical of the Wii (or am I?) is because there has been nothing of interest for a lot of gamers since Zelda. (Please note that I live in the UK, we are yet to see many games that you have in the US). I want the Wii to be great, thats why I paid £300 for one from Ebay (Thats over 599 of your US dollars by the way) but right now its just not cutting it.

We were almost promised a slew of big games (i.e. Mario, Smash Bros, Metroid) for and just after launch. None have materialised. I wonder if Nintendo had these games ready to go to ensure a strong start, realised that the Wii was selling out regardless of these games and decided to hold them back for when they could inject new life into system as required.

R U LIEK A COMEDIAN OR SUMFIN??!?

What is so hard to believe about what I said?

Iv been wating for ssbb like a year in a half alredy manwen is this game going to be relised

is someone their
