The full Wii line-up for Japan in 2007 looks like this:

The financial papers listed Animal Crossing Wii and Hoshi no Kirby as still "to be announced".
So far, only one of the games on the list has been confirmed for a 2007 release in Europe - Mario Strikers: Charged, which is due out on 25th May.

...as usual, the best games only start to appear a year after the launch. Always been like that, always will be like that.

I guess this list of games is totally irrelevant then to European gamers, and therefore should be ignored by EG?
Taken to extremes then us Europeans would have first heard of the PS3 in March this year. I think these people who complain about EG covering GAMES NEWS from other territories very strange..... |

"I think these people who complain about EG covering GAMES NEWS from other territories very strange....."
I think what gets more people annoyed is when they cover games news from America and Japan and not from Europe. How often does EG quote prices in Euros? How often do they actually ask Nintendo why we get games so much later? There's a lot more EG could be doing beyond just aping all the American sites already out there. |

Ah yes, I couldn't agree with you more. Hence, I bought a US Wii - it was part of the reason I imported. NoE continue to be larely irrelevant to NoJ. All my Nintendo consoles have been US consoles, and I don't regret going with a US Wii so far. With regards to EG, I agree with the sentiment of using Euros where relevant. With regards to this article, surely the Nintendo 2007 line up is of interest to many Wii owners, even though presently it applies to the Japanese market, it gives a good indication of what everyone else can expect (or in the case of the Euro market, be waiting for months after everyone else). |

Was in the pub on Friday night when the barmaid and a 60ish year old bloke were moaning about the lack of games coming out on the Wii.
I thought I must be pissed off my face but no I hadnt had a drop. However Nintendo need to do something about that perception because its not only one that many of us Wii gamers have but now the new audience they so expertly have targeted are saying it as well. GIVE ME SUPER PAPER MARIO!!! |

I said it before and I'll say it again - Super Paper Mario is being held back as a sweetener for Europe when it is (eventually) announced that Galaxy, Brawl and Metroid aren't out here until 2008.

"what i'm alluding to is the fact that unlike the PS3 / 360 brigade, Wii owners seem to have to wait months rather than weeks for titles that are available in other regions. "
Not really true... PS3 owners had a 4 month delay on every single launch title. ..and where is Blue Dragon on the 360?

It still amazes me that so many of you moan on about Nintendo's stance in Europe.
Since the NES Europe has been the poor relation yet everytime a list like this appears you get 50+ comments moaning about the lack of Euro releases. Accept it and move on, like I did 10 years ago at the back end of the SNES days - it is pretty clear by now it is not something Nintendo is in any hurry to change (they were happy with this method when N64 and GC were tredding water, what hope now if the majority of European consumers are happy to buy DS/Wii in such numbers and accept the shaft?!) There is even less reason to complain these days as most TV's will accept an NTSC signal and the games are far cheaper when bought from many online US retailers. While it does not make it right, it does make sense. Now go and import, and enjoy Paper Mario like I am months before it will see a UK release... |

"Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is great; Super paper Mario is good, at this moment in time I would prefer Mario Strikers Charged."
Well i've completed super paper mario now.. it was great, but i probably wont go back to it again. But something like strikers is something i'd go back to again and again. So to me, i know what i'd prefer. |
