There's an interesting feature over at CVG detailing ten games to watch for on the Wii this year (similar to what we did for the DS). Now, as this is a list from the UK, they've included some games with which we American gamers have already been blessed, but the rest of the lineup is interesting indeed. Of course, they highlight Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (we so can't wait for that), but the lion's share of the list goes to the most obvious -- and long in coming -- games for the Wii, like Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy (and the less talked about, but also cool Disaster: Day of Crisis). Of course these are going to be great games, but on what shall we pin all our hopes and dreams between now and the oblivion of year's end? It hurts to see so many great games on this list when we know they have no firm release date. Reggie promised us that there'd be no drought, but things are looking a little dry from the vantage point of this list. Potentially awesome, yes, but a little dry all the same.

What's the story on the EA Sports line-up by the way? Can't you guys or your big brothers at Joystiq get some word from EA Sports on the outlook for the NHL, NBA or FIFA games? Approach them for some official word, unofficial word or try to schedule an interview about their plans and reactions to launch, whydontcha?
With the new controller, Wii could become the athletes choice of a console. It is becoming just that in my circle of friends.

That's because Europe doesn't have Trauma Center, Excite Truck, and Metal Slug yet.

Eaode, I totally agree. After Disaster and HAMMER looking like pretty sure launch titles, they've both pretty much disappeared. I'm mainly looking forward to MP:3 and SSBB, but I think HAMMER and Disaster will have nice use of the Wiimote. just tell me a release date....
