Before the end of the year, we'll see Dead Space Extraction from EA, Muramasa: The Demon Blade from Ignition Entertainment, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles from Capcom, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories from Konami and Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars from Capcom. And those are just a few of the great titles coming from our licensees. That should be more than enough to keep the core gamer crowd busy until Capcom releases Monster Hunter Tri in early 2010. Not to mention our great WiiWare lineup, with games like Cave Story from Nicalis and Super Meat Boy from Team Meat. - Nintendo's Denise Kaigler
It's good to hear that Tatsunoko is still slated for this year, as there are a few retailers that have the title listed for a 2010 release. I sure hope Denise is correct! Thanks to Marl0 for the heads up!
Story Feedback
She doesn't work for Capcom of USA after all. Still crossing my fingers for year's end release though!
And does it ever occur to anyone that DSC and DSE could be good/decent games? Honestly? D:<
Well anyway, good to see the Nintendo prez helping to promote the third parties. I'm pretty sure he'll find time to play all of them somehow (he may even play an import copy of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom just for the rebalancing and exclusive characters). Probably a good idea to mention this: the rail shooter/lightgun shooter market is still strong in Japan (hell, Japan even got a Silent Hill lightgun shooter for arcades in 2007). Might explain why Extraction's seeing a release in Japan but Dead Space original is still MIA over there despite being "RE4 in space." The Japanese probably would have seen Dead Space as "just another American action game with hardly any scary moments" (remember, the Japanese do have their own interpretation of horror as seen in movies like Ju-On and Audition, and American titles aren't huge sellers on that island nation), while Extraction could be seen as "a fun arcade experience to play at home." (just go with me on this, culture IS something that that highly differs in every part of the world, and plus the arcade industry is still healthy in Japan too, while it's "on life support" over here.)

Some people just have blind hatred. I'm trying to stop caring.

EDIT: Thanks for pointing that out, so just ignore my sayings of "Iwata" above because I didn't read the whole thing.
You are aware that Denise Kaigler is the one being quoted, right? But I can see how you made that mistake
The way I see it, the Wii's holiday 2009 is pretty much 2007 except better third party games and slightly inferior first party games. NSMB Wii will be amazing, but I doubt it'll outdo Galaxy quality-wise (sales-wise is a different story). It's definitely one of the more balanced holiday seasons on Nintendo systems, but 2010 already has me drooling.
And Muramasa, Silent Hill and Valhalla Knights are looking strong, but I am not so sure.
Anyway, a good end of the year for me.
Didn't forget about, but I don't consider a port of a current Wii game NEW.
The other two were on the Gamecube, so I don't see them as new either.
I'm interested in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, but only because I never played the series.
I'm not interested in Resident Evil On-Rails or Dead Space On-Rails.
Muramasa: The Demon Blade looks interesting, but I probably won't even play it.
Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, not really into these type of fighting games anymore, though the fact this has online play really excites me when I think of exchanging MORE friend codes.
Don't forget, COD:MW is also going to be ported to the Wii this holiday season...YAY MORE PORTS!
Final clarification on release dates, please.
And why is there still zero love for A Boy and His Blob? I'd hype that game like crazy since it's a NES classic.
and frankly online play is really not the infinite opponents that it was supposed to be. No it's just the same tactics applied by everyone... and in a 1vs1 game it's just boring very fast
oh and murasama ,tatsunoko for me . No more rails shooters and maybe that silent hill. It will be great with the four nintendo titles (wsr,wf+,nsmbw,metroid).
*gasp* i might even take codmw1 , more maps for the onlineplay .The conduit made online pointer aiming just too good to ever go back to analog.
Oh yea, Modern Warfare. Yay!
I'm playing through Killzone 2 right now...the controls in that game are HORRENDOUS compared to The Conduit.
Dual analog sucks...I don't care if it has HD graphics, it plays like crap.
So Little King's Story, House of the Dead: Overkill, Swords and Soldiers, Madworld, Rune Factory Frontier, Boom Blox Bash Party, Tiger Woods 10 and Beat.Trip Beat aren't "worthy" titles?
They weren't all available all year, sweety. All I wanted this whole year was to be able to go to the store and have options when picking up a new, worthy Wii game. The options have been very limited. That's all I'm trying to say. And three of those titles aren't worth it at all to me.
I do have to agree with thedreadpirateguy, where the heck is A Boy and His Blob on this list?
Agreed. Although I've heard even 'hardcorez' say they don't like the controls in KZ2.
But still, pointer FTW.
Well, they have new Super Mario Bros. Wii, and....
and....
....
Well, on the bright side, that's more than they had for the second half of 2008. Seriously, if it weren't for some decent third-party games last Fall at retail and on WiiWare, the system would have been a barren landscape.
But there is something to be said about a Nintendo system having decent third-party support on one of their systems again, even if it also has double the bad games per every decent game.
Yeah, they are coming next year. She didn't have enough quality games to point, so she added a collection of ports and those games.
