Ok, I kid, maybe I want one or two, but even that might be stretching it. Nintendo recently unveiled a whole ton of games coming out this year with release dates, and put them all together for us to see and ogle. Problem is, I’m just not that interested in anything that they have listed, giving more credence to the selling of my Wii.
The only two games that I have even the slightest desire to play are probably the new Punch Out game as well as the exclusive Indiana Jones title, but beyond that, I feel very much “meh” about it. I’ve said before that while I don’t and have never hated Nintendo, they’re just baffling me this generation, and I’ve been severely disappointed in their complete lack of games. So what are they? Check the list out after the jump.

So, am I crazy? Are there games in there that you guys are interested in?
Wow. Slim pickings.. I feel bad for any future Wii owners…oh..yeah I am buying one…crap.
HAHAHAHA. You have got to be kidding me. The only thing that’s worse than this list, are the people who are going to buy this useless crap. The Wii needs to get it’s head out of the little kid reigon and make some games worth playing. I admit it had some pretty good ones, but that doesn’t help the 120 crap games coming out. Wii FAIL.
The Legendary Starfy for DS actually looks like it could be pretty good. It definitely has that old school Japanese platformer feel.
I just wish I traveled more or lived in a city w/ better public transportation so I would have a reason to play my DS.

I love nintendo, but the Wii is bittersweet. It has motion control, which could lead to amazing games, but its not. If the had some great titles I would get it, but alas they dont.
NOTHING on the Wii list interests me at all. I may check out Chinatown wars, maybe. And where is Mario & Luigi 3 for DS? It was on another list a while back. And I wish Capcom would give us a US date for Gyakutin Kenji. (Turnabout Prosecuter or Perfect Prosecutor or whatever they’ll call it in the US)
Aww come on what about…. Hannah Montana:The Movie, that sounds… intresting.
I might pick up NewPlay Pikmin because my old pikmin on the gamecube is broken and maaaaaaaybe boomblox if they take all the annoying shooting mini games out of it.I also would have liked to see less port+wii control games from nintendo. JUST MAKE PIKMIN 3 ALREADY!!!
PS. I facepalmed when I saw konami was making a yu-gi-oh game AND MY FACE IS STILL IN MY LEFT HAND
Eh..compared to the things we’ve already seen on the Wii, some games may actually be good. Mad World is looking kind of promising..for a Wii game. Kind of..& also kind of annoying to look at too..
