Reggie Fils-Aime: Read My Lips. ‘No New Game Drought.’

NewsWeek: So how can you assure gamers that are considering a Wii–keeping in mind that they’ve heard such promises before–that they won’t endure the same droughts between AAA first-party titles that they suffered on the Nintendo 64 or the Gamecube?

Reggie: The way I answer that question is with three very real examples. First, Zelda: Twilight Princess, on Wii, is arguably the best game we’ve ever made. Period. It is fantastic.

The second example I point out is Metroid Prime 3, which is a from-the-ground-up creation of Metroid for the Wii system. That title is going to come out early in 2007

The third example I would give you is Mario Galaxy, another from-the-ground-up Wii game that we are strategically timing the launch to make sure that we continue driving momentum through 2007.

    I thought SMG was coming out Christmas 2007? Doesn’t seem like that drives any momentum for 2007 does it?

    I just hope third party developers can get on board and create some games for the wii that are actually good. It would suck to feel like I have to go out and buy either and xbox 360 or ps3 to make up for all the time between the great first party wii games.

    I guess I could revisit all the great games I missed on xbox, ps2 and gamecube.
