What newly announced 2010 Nintendo title are you looking foreward to most?

Where the hell is No More Heroes 2 on that list? I know it's Ubisoft, but it's still a Wii exclusive. It was probably at least one of my top 5 favorite Wii games, and it shoed just how satisfying one-button combat can be when done well. They were also smart not to bother with having every single attack assigned to the Wii-remotes swinging, because that's honestly my pick for the most worthlessly abused funtion of the Wii amongst the third-party shovelware and one or two first-party games.

Amongst the list, I would have to say Super Mario Galaxy 2. SMG was among the best Wii games I'd played that also made some of the best use of the Wii's motion controls. I'm not surprised that they'd simply continue on with the Galaxy concept, since that's alread a pretty grand-scale thing to use in the first place. It also has Yoshi, which is all that SMG ever lacked.

I also can't help but stress that Metroid probably was the ideal series for Nintendo to team up with something like Team Ninja for. If there was any Nintendo character with as much flashiness as someone like Ryu Hayabusa, my pick would be Samus.

I guess the only other releases I am looking forward to are Kingdom hearts 258/2 days and Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.

To the topic, Mario Galaxy 2, definitely. Mario Galaxy was the best Wii game yet released. It made the purchase of the system worth while all on its own. Can't wait for the sequel.

I'm going to have to disagree. SMG felt just like SM64 to me (just with added hand-waving), and had none of the "ooh this is neat" factor that SM64 did the first time I played it.

SMG was the first one to HAVE that kind of factor SINCE SM64. Where TP refined the core innovations introduced by OOT, SMG innovated what was since introduced by SM64. Just because something did something first doesn't mean it did it better. Case in point, SMG and TP, due if only to the higher tech.

Besides, all we got from Yoshi in SM64 was 100 lives and bearing witness to his suicide.

TP was just a highly polished OoT.

SMG did alot more things differently than OoT ever did.

Never was a huge Zelda or Metroid fan, so Galaxy 2 for me as well.

Though I have no idea why you didn't put down Heart Gold or Soul Silver as options.

And I can't agree. I do not like SMG at all. It held none of the fun factor for me that SM64 did at first, and got incredibly boring much, much faster than SM64 initially did (now, I'm fed up with the tediousness of that game in about five minutes). I at least liked and was interested in SM64 for a while.

I obtained all 150 stars in the DS version, then 131 the second time though...honestly though I couldn't play it again.

I think Banjo has more creative levels imo.

I think I only got 70 when I played it on the N64, before I got fed up entirely and quit?

I had it for my DS, because it was all I could afford to get when I bought my DS. I played the little minigames and that's it - I played the actual game itself for about 10 minutes before remembering how irritating and boring that game had gotten, along with the terrible controls to throw it off even more. I ended up trading it in a couple weeks later and getting Animal Crossing instead.

The controls for SMG are very good. I never died because of the controls but my lack of skill.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl-Stars!!! aweshock

Wasn't talking about the controls in SMG - I never mentioned them once.

I personally have issues with the motion controls in Wii games in general, but that's just because the nunchuk sits very uncomfortably in my hand and causes my hand to cramp up very badly after about half an hour.

I'm very tempted to say Metroid: Other M

.... but I'm going with the safe bet, so Galaxy 2

I know.

You were talking about the controls in the DS version of Mario 64 and that the controls for SMG were very good.

Yep. Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I'll probably be one of the only ones getting HG for that matter.

Yeah, I thought so. The second generation was my favorite generation of Pokemon.

Yep, and that was a big disappointment. At least he had a somewhat bigger role in Super Mario Sunshine.

Although Yoshi did become playable in the DS remake.

Isn't NSMB Wii coming out this year... or is it 2010?

Liking it isn't really what I'm talking about. It's actual fact - Galaxy had more new and experimental things than Twilight Princess did.

The altering of Gravity and the adding of a new dimension of movement is a big one, this very much changes gameplay and becomes a pretty major addition as you progress through the game, it creates new challenges and even some visual puzzles that simply had never been in Mario games before. Also the entirely new tone and atmosphere that was unlike any other prior Mario game, as well as the tiny planets that made up the levels was new and unique.

I like Twilight Princess very much but I can't think of a single new or ground breaking thing that it did. It was very much stapled in the past, which is one of the few consistent criticisms that the game had in many reviews - that it was stale and felt dated in many ways. Which is why it's no surprise that Nintendo has hinted that their next Zelda game will try some new things and change many staples of the series - because it's time.

So here's more stuff we're getting in '09 and '10 that I didn't enter on the poll since I wasn't aware of it or it wasn't announced.

Metroid Prime Trilogy
An as yet untitled Zelda game for the wii
A Kid Icarus game that's been delayed since 2008 cause of some problems.

Also based on some problems, there probably won't be a new Star Fox game for awhile.
