Wii Drought?
After browsing through several lists of Wii game release dates as of now, I have found that there aren't any titles that are of any interest to me until October of this year. With the onslaught of halfway thought out casual games that aren't worth $10, all I can do is hope that this years E3 will bring with it some summer release titles. Until then, I am glad that I at least have SBCG4AP to look forward to. What notable games do you think will be announced for release this summer for the Wii, if any?
EDIT: E3's over, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Shaun White Snowboarding, Wii Music main focus.
Recommended DS game: The World Ends With You.

Well, there is at least Super Mario Sluggers and for me, Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe, and at E3, we might see one of these games:
Kirby Wii
Kid Icarus Wii
Animal Crossing Wii
Those are the games I excpect to see, but we may see new entries in the F-Zero, Starfox, Legend of Zelda, Mario Party, or some new IP. I've noticed this as well, but at least we have Brawl!:)
This game is surprisingly really good. It's a point n click and also one of the really cheap Wii games since it didn't sell too well. The reason being is because it's too hard for kids and looks too kiddy for adults. If you like adventure games I'd definatly get this game. It's very well polished.
Warioware Smooth Moves is another must.
KID ICARUS!!?!If it's as good as the first, PS3 will say "I'm finished!"Or at least PSP...
+ I like Zack & Wiki. But it's too short so that I get sad =(.
I'd love to see Starfox, but the series has been going downhill. If they take the WiiWare route and make some classic 64-like game, I would be thrilled.
This is one of the best years for game releases in Summer ever. Used to be you'd get 1 or 2 good ones. You just have to keep an eye out. AND there are still a bunch of games for Wii that are already out. I doubt you've beaten them all.
It'd be cool to see a few of those announced; but for now all I can do is wait for the FFIV DS remake and SBCG4AP.
To Juhsayngul, unless you are referring to all game consoles (if you are, I apologize), the Wii has NO good games coming out this summer. The games I had in my list, were, as you all probably know, just speculation, as we have no idea what's going to be at E3. Even if those games are announced, the earliest I'd have them coming out would be Q1 2009, so there are no good games coming out for the Wii this summer in America.
On the Kid Icarus sequel, if it is made, it will most likely be completely different from the 8-bit classic. Also, at someguyfromazoo, the PSP is already being dominated by the DS, as the Wii has dominated its competitors ever since its release (except for one month, and that was only due to the release of Halo 3) so we have nothing to worry about there.
If you really need a good game, just buy one of Nintendo's amazing first-party games like Metroid Prime 3 or Twilight Princess, as they are much better than most of the third-party crud that the Wii has. Heck, Super Mario Galaxy is the 3rd best rated game of all time! Don't forget about the Virtual Console games as well

ANIMAL CROSSING WII, KIRBY WII, KIRBY SUPERSTAR DS, POKEMON PLATINUM CONFIRMED TO BE AT E3!
Thanks a bunch!:D Now I have something to look forward to (or at least look forward to reading in Nintendo Power!)
But it is true, there aren't that many interesting titles being released as yet. I really hope that we don't get a situation where the market is so flooded with crap it's difficult to find the real gems. Still, there's always gamecube games to fall back on lol. I always meant to get a game cube, now I just need to find a controller and memory card instead.. hah, they seem to be like golddust atm.
Also, like purple_monkfish said, you can also buy some of the great GCN games to pass the time. I recommend Sunshine, Wind Waker, and Metroid Prime to anyone who wants to buy dome great Gamecube games
have you preordered the special edition? its out on friday the day of my last exam, can't play it on the friday though as i have my leavers ball
add skies of arcadia legends, beyond good and evil, f zero gx, and 1080 avalanche to that list
And part of the reason we got the big surge of games during march and april is well, because for most companies that's the end and beginning of their fiscal years.
MAKE ME!!! jk:D I just chose the VERY BEST IMO, not that I don't love those games (I do)
Well, at least we have Brawl to tide us over, right? (TO ALL EUROPEANS I PITY YOU)
haha i don't have a wii, but my 360 will keep me happy
Except, of course, Sam & Max Season 1, but, you know...
And Harvest Moon could be okay....
And don't forget Rock Band, which comes the second day of Summer, or Guitar Hero Aerosmith a week later, and then the Rock Band track pack later in the Summer.
...We Love Golf might not be terrible.
Ooh! How about NCAA or Madden or all the other sports games coming?
Someone already said Alone in the Dark, but still.
...Although I actually was talking about all consoles...
I almost nearly responded mentioning the Freeloader yesterday, but following today's developments (re: the Wii firmware update), glad I didn't.
I've got Brawl though and can't say I was too impressed. It's not a bad game, I'll give it that, but most of the new stages are terrible (New Pork City being prime offender) and I got bored of it within the week. I definitely liked Melée a lot more.
Yeah, it's odd. I really thought I'd love Brawl... and I did for a few weeks...
But now it's become quite boring for me, it's a shame.:(
What firmware update? I noticed no changes.
Then sorry for the misunderstanding.
I would think it would be quite good (barring any wiimote swinging probs) seeing as it's made by the same people who made the Mario Golf games.
one went up yesterday that allos for easy transfer of miis from mii channel to check mii out. But it also incuded fixes for many hacks/get arounds like the new Freeloader and the Twilight Hack.

YAY:D Nintendo seems to finally be realizing that the core gaming audience is just as, if not more, crucial to the Wii's sucess as the "casual" audience.
Here is a list you guys may want to look at:

I'd have to agree to that, my PS3 has gotten a healthy dose of useage since I gotten it during the 2007 holiday blitz for all consoles. But my Wii and 360 both get heavy gamer traffic on them as well and I'm really hoping for a Pikmin 3. I've been mostly been burning my time with multiplayer titles for the Wii like Ghost Squad and House of The Dead 2&3 Returns titles at the moment or Smash Bros, so I'm pretty busy right now trying to unlock the Panda camo for Ghost Squad...
I'd have to dig up my Wii code later, I'm the tired and sleepy.
Edit-
People get the chance to get these new games by hitting store deals and/or online discounts or rebates. Or in my case, I'll buy a pre-owned copy (used if you like to refer it that way) for console games but before I drop the final bones for the pre-owned disc I'll ask kindly to inspect the disc myself to make sure a rabbity like thing didn't choose to play a game of frisbe with the disc with its teeth. Pay attention to game shops at the moment, Gamestop is doing 50 percent off deals on select titles (some not so old like Condemend 2). Also pay attention to random local shop events with buy 2 get one free deal on preowned titles. This is how I pad up my game collection for consoles.
Xbox Live: That Confused 1
PSN: ThatConfused1
Wii Code: I'm too lazy of one (atm).
yeah that bugged me about brawl too. in melee, u had to do tons of stuff to get every single person, but in brawl, beat the SSE and there is only 3 more left. kinda boring.
That's good to know. I was starting to believe that Nintendo gaming had completely shifted to the casual audience after all of the non-core games.
Animal Crossing Wii (MMO?)
Pikmin 3 (Sweet)
Kid Icarus (Hope so)
Kirby (Meh, could be great, could suck) (Get it?)
Some series left untouched that Nintendo may look at:
F-Zero (Blue Falcon is in Mario Kart Wii)
A true Donkey Kong game (It's been a long time)
Ice Climber (WiiWare?)
1080 Snowboarding
Wave Race
Star Fox (Please!)
Sin and Punishment (Oooooh)
No other summer Wii releases really interest me, but there are other future titles that I'm really looking forward to, such as Little King's Story, Rune Factory, Fatal Frame IV, and Wario Land: The Shake Dimension. I can't forget Megaman 9 as well; I'm just hoping that a Wii release is confirmed. Perhaps E3 will answer some of the concerns that I have. :cool:
I think it's already out, if you're talking about the game I'm thinking of. It was renamed My Life as a King.
The two games do sound similar, but "Little King's Story" is actually a new title by Marvelous (it was known as Project O for a while). Here's a link to an IGN page with info/screens on the game: http://wii.ign.com/objects/892/892457.html
Can't wait for this game.
