Consumers nationwide continue to snap up Nintendo products for the holidays, and Nintendo is poised to carry that momentum into 2010. Dozens of games for the Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems are on the way in a wide range of categories from both Nintendo and its third-party partners.

To bring a little color to the winter months, Nintendo will release two new colors for its Wii Remote controller. Starting Feb. 14, the controller will come in Pink or Blue and will be bundled with a Wii MotionPlus accessory. Along with the current White and Black versions of the controller, now every player in four-player matches can have his or her own color.

"During the holidays, tens of millions of Americans are going to spend enjoyable hours with both Wii and Nintendo DS," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "And the enjoyment will only grow in the early weeks of 2010, whether your taste in gaming comes from exploring ocean depths, catching, training and battling Pokémon or even designing your own micro-games."

On the Wii console, Endless Ocean: Blue World arrives on Feb. 22 to provide players with an adventurous and educational experience, complete with underwater exploration, an adventurous storyline and Wii Speak compatibility. This January also sees the highly anticipated release of Tatsunoko VS. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. Available exclusively on Wii, this new VS. series fighting game features global online game play for those who have access to a broadband Internet connection.

On the portable side, Nintendo's hand-held systems will see the arrival of a number of diverse games, including the eagerly awaited Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version on March 14. Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version allow fans to return to the scenic Johto region first introduced in the beloved Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver games. The games have been fully enhanced with rich graphics, updated sound, new touch-screen controls and much more.

On March 28, WarioWare D.I.Y. lets users design their own micro-games from scratch and share them with other WarioWare D.I.Y. owners via a broadband Internet connection and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Every element, such as the characters, the environment, the actions and even the purpose of the micro-game itself, can be created entirely by the player. Also on March 28, hungry gamers can dig into America's Test Kitchen: Let's Get Cooking, which gives family members the chance to prepare 300 different dishes together. All of the recipes and the how-to videos in the game were created by the popular public television show America's Test Kitchen.

On Jan. 18, Glory of Heracles introduces U.S. role-playing fans to the popular Japanese franchise. The game is inspired by Greek mythology and written by Kazushige Nojima of Final Fantasy fame. The traditional role-playing game features an engrossing story and a robust battle system.

Okay, I'm pretty overjoyed for AAI: Miles Edgeworth and the new Shin Megami Tensei, but why is there no news about Trauma Team

[stupid hos is my enemy]

I bet you don't know what half those words mean.

[MatrixMarioX]

Not really excited, even if im a big nintendo fan.
But Tatsunoko VS Capcom, and Wario Ware, make me smile C:

AHAHAHAHAAAA! Seriously?

Also, next to DDI, Majesco and UFO Entertainment are the two biggest sources of shovelware on the Wii. Why would their games even be listed in this release?

[Deleted]

Hells yeah to the port of Phoenix Wright to Wii.

[Naem]

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - Feb. 16
Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version - March 14

Oh, good. I'm sure I can finish AAI in a month. *hyperventilates*

[stupid hos is my enemy]

Okay, let me break this sh*t down for you.

Another Shin Megami Tensei game. These are beast if you love Nippon Grindfests, not worth mentioning if you're not.

Mofo'in' Ace Attorney. You probs already know if you like this sh*t or not.

Everyone loves them sum pokemanz, and we all know the second generation was boss.

Sands of Destruction. Now I don't know much about the battle system, but let me enlighten you as to the plot; the world is controlled by furries. You, as the oppressed human slaves, decide to blow up the world in order to kill all furries.

I don't know about you, but I am sold.

Oh wow, another Sonic collection. I am going to castrate anyone I find with this game. I don't know what's worse, the fact that Sega keep releasing the same games over and OVER AND OVER again or the fact that this is actually a viable business stratagy because dumbf*cks keep buying them. Honestly? Sonic just isn't good anymore. The original few games were a buzz, but we've all played them to death, and pretty much anything released since the Dreamcast has ranged between mediocre to appauling. How this blue spiky c*nt has amassed such a following - including me at one point - is beyond me.

Anything else probs isn't worth mentioning.

edit:

sorry just saw a game saying "featuring the jamaican boblsed team"

if this game is not almost identical to Cool Runnings I will be sorely disappointed

[Adramelech]

A few of those games i'm excited for... The rest just made me laugh.

I've never completed a Sonic game before.

You are now the best person on this forum.

[Matt_TY]

You... did catch the title of this forum, yeah?

Not having played or finished classic Sonic games is not a boast, irrespective of the sharp decline in quality of the recent 3D games.

I know it's cool in the gaming world to project the hatred for abominations like Sonic 2k6 onto everything that has ever featured the character irrespective of the actual quality of the earlier games. It's also very, very stupid.

Now, on-topic: Ace Attorney Investigations huzzah!

[Interrobang Pie]

That list looks horrible. Apart for MM10 of course, but I'll be getting it via XBLA anyway.

He didn't boast about anything. He in fact directly implied that he HAS completed a Sonic game before XD


The only reason I've not completed any Sonic game is because it's way before my time, and it gets boring and repetitive really quickly. Yes all of them. Everyone keeps talking about what happens so I'm not terribly bothered about playing for the plot either =|


This is what happens when you couldn't afford games in your childhood, and had nobody to get you games either.

[Matt_TY]

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's compulsory to have played or even liked Sonic games. Explanation not necessary!

But Fade is opining in that inimitable way of his that you not having finished one makes you inherently more awesome than someone who has. It does not. (Or any less awesome, either.)

[Admiral Mundane]

So anybody that's getting all hyped-up about the WiiWare rereleases of the PW games -- they're not that exciting. It's just a straight port with different controls. Nothing new, not even the art.
