Nintendo Wii Fanboy

I'm gonna complain about this list here because there are too many comments on the original article.

Why would someone put together a list like this before E3?

Nintendo has been very strict about releasing information or screenshots about any games. That's why we the bulk of the list is comprised of independent studios that have concepts, not games.

Second, the list seems to include some games that have no info, but excludes other games becuase there is little info about them. Example, "Flight Game" is on the list, while several untilted, but announced games are not included, even though they have confirmed to be excluse to the Rev. There is no reason why the untiled Grasshopper studios game, for example, should be left off the list.

I understand this list is still in the works, but the author seems very defensive about the methodology of choosing games for the list despite several people pointing out its flaws.

I think your comments on the upcoming E3 are very valid, however you must not forget that this list will also reflect those changes. Ross has taken up a very difficult task, and as such I'm sure he has some way to go. The importance of this piece is that it gives you one place for valid information.

I do hope the list stays current, but at first glance, it seemed like the whole point was to show how little third-party support Nintendo had at this point.

Hey guys --

Yeah, the list was, at first, rather small -- then again, the information is about as much as we have on PlayStation 3 launch titles (we know titles, and have a few screenshots). However, you could argue that PlayStation 3 information is easier to come by because, since most of the titles announced are sequels, we know just what to expect in terms of gameplay.

Since the feature has started, I have updated 7 times and added 5 titles (Pnagya Golf, Tony Hawk, Monkey Ball, DBZ, and Elebits). I am keeping a watchful eye on the 2 THQ games announced, but other than a title I haven't found much else. I'm sure by friday, when school work is a little bit lighter (i'm a full-time student, making this project harder) I'll put 120% more effort to finding it, but the list will eventually be something everyone will enjoy. Right now, I'm guessing it's up to 14% enjoyment and rising.

And despite predominant animosity toward the piece for its timing and length, since I am continually updating by about 200 words a day, I'll be sure to plug the hell out of it on each Joystiq daily recap and probably an extra post on fridays.

This story's picture should be changed to say, 'NOW, OPEN WIDE AND SAY "WIIIIII"'.
