For those concerned with wii, it was certainly better than last years performance (basically, how much Wii shows up in TGS is almost directly indicative of how much 3rd party support is being given, so you can use that as a good gauge) and indeed we saw hope for the future for 3rd party Wii between awesome NiGHTS 2 movies, King's Story info, and No More Publisher

Nice show overall, although the regional differences make it much harder to "get into" than E3

In killer 7 blood is a must and we love it because it is our lives energy, but in No more heroes there is close to no blood in the japanese version. European adapters are safe, the blood will gush.

Alright were to begin. Wii sports winning the award was a given. I personally think that many people bought the Wii for Wii sports and Wii Play. Nothing on Wii Fit I was really shocked about this one. What is supposed to be the big Nintendo branded item for the Wii to carry it into 08 and nothing new about it from the last big gaming show of the year. I do have to agree with #1 about the Wii getting great love from third party developers.

Shiren the Wanderer 3 looks like it may be a big hit in the RPG world so this is one I will keep my eyes on.

Project 0 I thought would give the Wii some class after hearing about it but after the TGS I feel it may just be an Animal Crossing clone.

I think that the Wii will do just fine in 08 even if most of the games that are still in development didn't get a show. We all have plenty to look forward to on the Wii come this holiday season and into early next year so I feel the Wii will have another great year running the market.
