At a conference held by Nintendo in Japan, the company’s president Satoru Iwata said that they had 45 Wii and 79 DS games in development as of now. When IGN snooped around some officially released financial documents, they found out which of these titles should be expected this year. The list is as follow:
“Nintendo officially states that the following games will be coming out for Wii in Japan in 2007:
• Donkey Kong Taru Jet Race (DK Jet or DK Bongo Blast, US) - June 28, 2007
• Wii Health Pack – 2007
• Disaster: Day of Crisis - 2007
• Mario Party 8 - 2007
• Project H.A.M.M.E.R. - 2007
• Wii Music - 2007
• Super Mario Galaxy - 2007
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl - 2007
• Battalion Wars II - 2007
• Forever Blue - 2007
• Mario Strikers Charged - 2007
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - 2007
• Mario and Sonic at the Olympics - 2007”
It seems like Wii owners in Japan have a good year ahead of them; but I wonder what lies in store for the rest of the world. Let’s hope we see most, if not all the above titles, releasing in most regions around the globe.
