Wii Owners Looking at a Nintendo Drought?

The site Computer and Videogames has up an (unverifiable article) stating that several anticipated Wii titles are going to be delayed until late 2007. Specifically, they mention Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption as being out of our hands until the Christmas season next year. They report this information via 'reliable sources', and Nintendo is unwilling to confirm or deny the claims as of yet. N'Gai at Newsweek reminds us that Reggie Fils-Aime denied the possibility of a 'Nintendo drought' in an interview they conducted back in October. Here's hoping he doesn't live to regret these words: "... The third example I would give you is Mario Galaxy, another from-the-ground-up Wii game that we are strategically timing the launch to make sure that we continue driving momentum through 2007. So N'Gai, how do I answer the question, 'Will there be no drought,' and 'How will we make sure that there are fantastic titles for Wii?' The answer is Zelda, Metroid and Mario. Which is a pretty darn good lineup."

    It sounds to me like those games might be a wii bit late.

    do a little research. School was supposed to teach you how to do that

    I tried that, and I did it just the way they taught me in school. I went to the local library and thumbed through the card catalog, but couldn't find anything about what stores had Wiis available. Oh Dewey Decimal System, why hast thou forsaken me?

    It may cheer you up to go watch PS3 auctions end below MSRP with no reserve set. I know that just made my day a little brighter.

    but the wife won't be happy (and we all know what that means).

    This is /. , so no, the majority of people here will have no clue.

    Then again, she also tends to get up before noon on a sunday, so GLHF. (sorry for the generalization)

    Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation? Did they rename "von Willebrand disease" as "von Wii-brand disease" or something? I doubt this non-profit organization will help you find a Wii.
