Now I know the Wii is currently in that unavoidable drought of games that occur after christmas and especially after a launch. However I have to admit that the next couple of weeks looks pretty damn good for what is supposed to be a bad period for games. Check it out:

February 14th we get Wiiplay. Not a major release, but I actually want to get it to have another game to pop into the wii when I have newbies trying it out.

February 20th we get Sonic and the Secret Rings which is looking quite promising

February 2th we get SSX Blur. SSX games in the past have been quite fun (particularly SSX 3 and Tricky) and this one looks promising as well.

March 5th we get Mario Party 8. Ok, it might be getting a little old but they are fun, and I have to admit I like the the Mario Party games.

March 13th we get Prince of Persia Rival Swords as well as TMNT. I'm particularly excited about Prince of Persia as the only one I've played was Sands of Time and this has been a very high quality series.

March 20th, we get Godfather: Blackhand. I'm very excited about this game as well as I never played the Godfather game and I've been craving a sandbox type game lately.

March 26th, we get Medal of Honor: Vanguard. I had never played the WWII games (Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, etc.) until recently when I got my hands on a cheap copy of the gamecube version of Medal of Honor: Frontline. I'm currently playing Frontline and I like it so far, so I'm pretty excited about Medal of Honor: Vanguard.

I already have Wii Play, and really like the look of SSX Blur and Sonic. I'll pass on the Prince of Persia series as I played them all on PS2, and will wait for reveiws on Mario Party, Godfather and MOH:V

wii play is pretty dull ( worth it for the remote maybe.....but you'll play the games once and never come back, trust me) the other games kick ass though

Yeah, a bit! It pretty much serves you to get accostumed to the controller! The only replay value you'll get is trying to get all platinum... But still, it's worth 10$

Sounds... okay.

Still don't think it's worth picking up one yet, needs more games like Twilight Princess.

Looks like another Dry spell for me. Godfather might be good if EA works the Wiimote right though.

Mario party and Wii play are the only games that interest me and the latter is only for another wiimote. Certainly not that exciting, though the VC games recently have been much more promising and I hope the trend continues until some good wii games are released.

I don't think I'll get any of those. I'm waiting for Brawl. The DS will keep me company for the next few weeks.

Prince of Persia is a remake of POP3 is it not?  Wii Play is not anywhere near the quality of Wii sports, and the other few don't really stand out much.

Mario PArty 8 might be kewl though, cause they've all been fun for me so far.

MP8 is the only Mario Party game I've ever looked forward to. The Wiimote is going to revitalize the series.

That's a horrible list. Things WILL get awesome, and the VC selection is fantastic, but for now, the releases are weak. Bring on Q2!

That is pretty alright, but it's better than a video game drought.

That list extends through 46 days.....last time I checked, 46 days was not a "couple of weeks". The only thing on there that interests me is SSX Blur, which I will probably buy.

Wow, I can't believe you wasted a post with that comment. If you have 7 dollars in your pocket and I ask you how much money you have and you say "I have a couple of dollars," nobody is going to call you a liar. Couple can either mean 2 or it can mean "a few." There is no cut-off as to where it stops, as long as the amount you're talking about significantly less then the majority (in this case the majority of the year would 26 weeks) then I don't see the problem.

I would've wanted the TMNT game if they hadn't changed their goofy/happy image to more of a dark/Batman-esque one. Whoever's responsible for doing this to the new TMNT cartoon should be shot in the head. They have destroyed the Turtle's good name.

I like the idea of a game for $10 but the game doesn't actually cost ten dollars--the game and a Wiimote cost $50--they are inseperable as everyone already understands. Since I don't have the need for another controller at this point I will not be buying Wii Play. I may however wait to buy it used on Amazon for cheap. Say $10-14.

I'm getting Blur, Sonic, probably the GodFather but my brother already has it for Xbox1, and I will defenately get Mario Party 8 because it is an Even number Mario Party and the even number ones have always been better then the odd nembered ones because the even ones always adds something new the odd numbered just uses the samething as the last even one.

SSX is the best one on that list. I am going to be very skeptical about Sonic till i play it. I hope Vanguard is good, I need more FPSs. And Godfather will be garbage, quote me on that.

I guess others aren't as thrilled as I am. I guess I'm just lucky that all these games appeal to me. I need to pick up some more wii-motes so I'm stoked that Wiiplay is coming out anyways. I've always been a Sonic fan and it finally looks like he's back. I really liked Prince of Persia: Sands of time but I never got to play the sequels so I'm stoked about Rival Swords. I had never played SSX or Medal of Honor until recently when I've gotten older games in the series (i.e. SSX Tricky & MoH: Frontline) and since I liked the older games, some new and improved sequels with Wii-functionality has got me hyped. And finally, I've been dying to play a sandbox type of game and from the trailers that I checked out Godfather looks pretty good. BTW, Did I forget to mention, that I was the biggest TMNT fan in the world growing up? I don't know, it just seemed like the stars aligned for me with the upcoming games.
