Nintendo's Iwata Confirms Big Games This Year

1up has comments from Nintendo's President Satoru Iwata, as he spoke to investors earlier this week. When asked about the possibility of hardcore games coming to the Wii before the end of 2007, Nintendo's president assured gamers and moneymen that Mario and Metroid are coming this year. "It will be from around the end of this summer to the end of this year. We will then launch a new title of Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption although the last one is primarily for the [American and European] markets. These will be the key titles for the period ranging from the summer until the holiday sales season of this year, and I think we will be able to cater to the specific needs you mentioned."

There are reports of Wiis being sitting on store shelves all over Europe. And here in LA I see Wiis all the time at various stores. A few PS3s and stacks of 360s(many of them still in the same stack from last December when Microsoft dumped an extra couple million on retailers to stuff the channel).

Dude you just fucked up the fanboys "OMG!!! No one can find teh wii stuff anywhere because it is so damn popular!!!" story...

Let the Wiitards continue to pump out their talking points...it will be worth the hilarity of their reactions as the Wii hype continues to wind down.

What about the PS3. The big titles that I see are things like Ridge Racer 7,Final Fantasy 13,Grand Turismo 5. Where are the new games?I mean the completely new ones, not the franchise recycling that is going on here
