IGN has rounded up the 20 games of the summer for each console.

Check out the Wii's list, then check out the PS3's (or 360's). As a Wii owner, I think I died a little bit inside...

What are you talking about thats a pretty good list , specially 3rd party wise for the Wii.
I say about 50% of it I would pick up. The EA sports "all play" is kinda stupid, although i never got into sports games much anyway.

Beyond that, we know there is alot of games not mentioned yet that will pop up at E3 here soon. Nintendo has always been the last to say what is comming out.

Normally summer is the time of game drought. This year's summer is actually a difference from last year. Huge hits don't come out in the summer because people are usually not in their house, but rather outside enjoying summer.

There is about 5 or 6 decent games in that list though, maybe not all buy worth but still playable. I don't see what the gripe is really, yeah the Summer for Wii games isn't perfect but the months following the Summer will be a bigger improvement.

I kind of wish Mario Baseball was released a bit earlier, oh well.

None of the lists were really that great.

Out of all of them the only ones I'm going to buy are Unreal Championship 3 and the Force Unleashed(depending on reviews and such).

And am I the only one getting sick of all these guitar hero games still coming out? They're all the same, I don't see the need for like 50 different ones.

Holy crap a new sam and max game. i dont beleive it.

there are a few potentials for me in there, top spin, force unleashed, tiger woods 09 and sam and max.

nice

let me ask NBA 2k9 or live 2009 y isnt it in there

probably notout till later in the year. they are the summer releases.

hmmm, i actually thought that was a fair list for all 3 consoles, however, i think the 360 runs away with this one, but some of the 360 multiplatform games, ill likely get on ps3 like bad company and hells highway simply because i dont have xbox live but i do have PSN.

for the wii, i liked tiger woods 08 and 07 so i may pick up 09, might, but i dont know, madden, ill be picking up on ps3, again, simply cause i dont have live, mario sluggers im definetly gonna rent *i always rent mario sports games, if i like them i buy them*

but i know what im looking forward to the most

E3 W0ot

*c'mon resident evil 5 release date!!!!*

*orgasms*

The summer is always a quiet period but I think that it's a pretty good list. It is good to see the 3rd party Wii games seeming to have more effort put into them too.

There was nothing on the 360 or PS3 lists that really made me think 'wow' either, they are mostly sports sequels, multiplatform games or games I've seen before on another format. The only real stand out games for me there were Too Human on 360 and Socom on PS3 but it they turn out to suck then it'd be pretty lackluster as a whole. Soulcalibur IV could be good but i'm not too interested in it, especially if Clone Wars is decent as that would provide my lightsaber duelling fix.

Here's what I'll probably be picking up:

PS3

- SOCOM Confrontation
- Battlefield Bad Company
- Soul Calibur IV
- (Maybe) Madden '09

Wii

- Super Mario Sluggers
- (Maybe) Top Spin 3
- (Maybe) We Love Golf

I don't know what EA was thinking...All Play??? The idea seems pretty dumb to me. Not all Wii owners are this into casual and simplistic games.

Hmm...a Lego Batman game. I've never played any other Lego games, but I may pick this game up.

Quality kept rising up and down there...mainly down. Nothing I would personally buy, looks as if boom blox and brawl for my summer.

--

If anyone is excited for some of the ports be warned...some look/are very poor.

but the majority are.

Do you actually know the majority of Wii owners personally? To generalize like that is like saying that the majority of 360 owners are 14 year old boys who get a kick off swearing on Live. With the Wii, most developers are trying to reach as wide an audience as possible, which is something that Microsoft seems to be interested in as well.

Just out of interest, how do you feel about Microsoft's rumored plans to get more casual content onto the 360?

Well he doesn't know them personally but the Wii's sales and attach rate show it.

Metroid only just sold a million out of a possible over 20 million however games like Wii Play and Wii Fit are simply dominating it with sales figures. Most of Wii's 'good gamer games' haven't sold to well.
