2007 was an excellent year for Nintendo. According to the company, the Nintendo DS was the #1 selling game system and the Wii was #2. With both top spots secured, where can Nintendo go from here? There’s no need to wonder what’s next, as a tentative game lineup list is now available.

Q2: Wii Fit from Nintendo
Hey! Samurai warriors! I love that game! Much better than dynasty if you ask me. I am saving up for a ds myself, can’t wait to get that game for it.
Titles I’m looking forward to:
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Light Saber Action finally hits Wii (but will it be any good?)
DeBlob
Stylized and original looking game.. worked for Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros Treasure (which I highly recommend to all Wii owners, if you haven’t played it yet, go get it now.. seriously, go! IMO Zack and Wiki is the best game on Wii)
Mario Kart Wii
I have no doubt the controls will be flawless, plus online play. I’m a big racing genre and Nintendo fan, so this title is a must have for me.
Okami
Didn’t play this on PS2, but I’ve heard a lot of great things about it.
Worms: A Space Oddity
I was looking forward to this title, until I heard the online play was cut. I’m hopeful it will be put back in, though the realistic side of me knows there’s a very slim chance of that happening.
No More Heroes
Looks to be an interesting game, similar to GTA, except stylized. I look forward to this one.
Super Smash Bros.® Brawl
If voice chat was available, this could be a great online game, but it wont be.
I’m only slightly interested in this title. I’m not a big fighter genre fan, but it could be a great party game. I remember playing the original with my brother and we had a blast
