So what makes a
drought? When our cohorts at Joystiq
posted the following -- Nintendo's official word on the upcoming sixteen games that will round out Q1, there was some discussion regarding whether a library of 40 titles constitutes a deluge or a drought. Here's the list, per Nintendo:
- Feb. 14 Wii Play with Wii Remote
- Mar. 27 Disney's Meet the Robinsons
- Mar. Bust-A-Move Bash
- Mar. Prince of Persia Rival Swords
- Mar. TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
- Mar. Bionicle Heroes
- Mar. Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII
- Q1 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
- Q1 SSX Blur
- Q1 The Godfather Blackhand Edition
- Q1 Medal of Honor: Vanguard
- Q1 Sonic and the Secret Rings
So there's the obvious question of how you feel about the way the Wii's library is shaping up, but the deeper question is ... how many games do we need? It seems most of us would rather have skinnier libraries with nothing but quality games than a new subpar sports title or FPS every week. We're not sure that every one of these titles is gonna reflect the
quality we'd like to see, but it doesn't seem
thin.
Last, but not at all least, you may notice that we didn't include
Mario Party 8, which is
apparently slated for March 5. Since it wasn't on Nintendo's list, we left it out here, but that date is still listed on Nintendo's
official site.
Despite us getting excited about a Prince of Persia prequel back in October, it looks like we're left out to dry on the new Prince of Persia game that was recently confirmed. According to a post over at Nintendic, the odds of us getting this new game are pretty slim.
