2010 1st half Nintendo Games

So the Nintendo Media Summit just occurred and some release dates were announced. The bigger names include Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, Sin and Punishment, and Monster Hunter Tri. In the WiiWare side of things, I'm looking forward to Megaman 10 for March 1st. So lots of good games to look forward to in the upcoming months.

Early first quarter releases for Nintendo was quite weak until No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All Stars came out (two ridiculously long game titles). Both games were played quite consistently till I decided to attack my backlog. NMH2 was an amazing game although I would have enjoyed more mini-games, beam katana upgrades (like in NMH), and minus the huge jump in ranks after some boss battles. I would have preferred 20+ bosses but I'm being greedy. TvC is also a great game where I use my Wii Hori Fighting Stick to play and is probably the best 2D fighter on the Wii. Both games are amazing and everyone should at least try them out!

Since I am an RPG fan (if you haven't caught on yet), hopefully this year I'll get my hands on Arc Rise Fantasia, the Last Story, XenoBlade, and hopefully a localization for Tales of Graces. I still haven't finished the GC Tales of Symphonia (shame on me) and hopefully I will find the time and focus to play through the amazing game.

2010 looks to be a strong year for Wii titles and hopefully it won't disappoint. Fingers crossed for New Zelda for the Holiday season!
