Mildly interested in DQ IX.
smh at Nintendo not doing a NSMB2 or a new Metroid.
I'm sure NSMB2 is coming, but I really don't understand why they haven't done it before now. Can't be that hard to reuse the same engine and do a few different sprites.
They don't need to. In fact, I'm sure that in all territories, NSMB probably still sells 100,000 copies a month worldwide. If not, the high five figures. Same goes for their major Wii IPs. Nintendo is just being lazy because it seems like once they've established themselves, they put in less and less of an effort, software wise. If a game they released in November 2007 will still sell well in January 2009, there is no need to really make a new game in the series, if one installment per generation is enough.
Of course, from a gaming perspective, this sucks ass. Nintendo has already blown their load with a Mario, a Smash Brothers, a Mario Kart, etc. There is nothing really left for them to do except more waggle crap. We will probably see another Zelda game, a Mario Party game or two, and a couple of Mario sports games left. Ugh
