I really hope they bring some wii ware titles to retail. I hate seeing all these good games that I can't get, just because I live in the 1 % of america that isn't covered.

It needs saving?

After that beast of a year that was 2010?

And look at what's in the thumbnail: Pokemon, a traditional Kirby, and a new IP, not to mention Zelda is coming this year as well.

There's nothing to save.

[Ayer99]

Except for respect. Wii had a great 2010 and didn't get nearly as much love. If they set the bar high for 2011, they could finally gain that appreciation the Wii has never had.

[dredgewalker]

It's more like IGN is the one in need of saving.

[Spitfire_Riggz]

Well I dont think they need saving the sound of 120 million consoles and more is plugging their ears

[gypsygib]

I think Wii already won, new systems will be out in 2-3 years and I doubt PS3 or 360 will catch up before then. The only problem is the Wii is almost done while PS3 and 360 will live on into the next gen but that doesn't really count.

[dalibor]

The Wii is doing fine. All systems are actually. But it's just not for me. Who knows I might get one sometime.

[CrescentFang]

Xenoblade and the Last Story (Possibly the two Fatal Frames games)

[Rage_S90]

oh no ign with their wii is teh doomz article what will they think of next :S

[BrianC6234]

I doubt Nintendo even cares about this. They can release three or four games a year and have big sales. Do they care about how third party games do on the Wii?

[adnanrules]

lol ign

[AusWarrior]

It doesn't need saving.

[felix88]

More like IGNorance, am I right?

[pcz]

lol the wii is the laughing stock of the games industry this year. with its totally barren release schedule.

[AWBrawler]

new Zelda
Pandora's Tower
The Last Story
Rodea
Earthseeker
New Kirby
The Conduit 2

and this is just off the top of my head. Not Barren, its just not shooters only

[Mahr]

It sure was nice back when lists of upcoming Wii games involved concrete Western release dates. :-/

[pcz]

yes, good list (bar conduit because i think it looks as cheap and tacky as the first.)

But what games will be here between now and April? or even july? practically all of the games you listed have only just been announced, so what chance do we have of playing them any time soon. Zero. they haven't even been release in japan yet.

as Mahr said, what chance do we have of an actually worldwide release of these games? 50/50 with nintendo's current 'if they are outside of japan, fuck em' attitude.

between now and summer we have nothing. if i want to buy wii games i will have to go back to the games i missed. but there are no new releases.

im actually considering getting a ps3 now

[AWBrawler]

yea, well i missed plenty of games. people always forget that not everyone with a wii can afford every game worth playing. I still want to get Spyborgs and the first Rune Factory and a lot of other games I missed like Super Paper Mario.
So this may be a slow year, but I'll still have plenty to play onmy Wii, PC, DS, and soon my new slim PS3 and 3DS

[pcz]

Yeah, i certainly can't afford every game i want either, not all at once anyway lol. i still havent got donkey kong returns. there are a few other games i need to get too, like epic mickey, ivy the kiwi, wario land shake etc.. but its nice to have new games to look forward to.

you should definitely get super paper mario
