Nintendo announce 45 new Wii titles

The President of Nintendo Satoru Iwata has announced plans to release up to 45 new titles for the Wii, many of which will be available this year.

Speaking in Tokyo during a press conference, Iwatu revealed very few details about the new games that will no doubt increase Nintendo’s already massive market share; over the past financial year 29 million Wii titles were sold worldwide.

According to IGN, Nintendo have since officially announced that the following titles will be available in Japan later this year:

• Donkey Kong Taru Jet Race
• Wii Health Pack
• Disaster: Day of Crisis
• Mario Party 8
• Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
• Wii Music
• Super Mario Galaxy
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl
• Battalion Wars II
• Forever Blue
• Mario Strikers Charged
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

The news will no doubt come as a relief to us Wii fans who have been crying out for more games for a while now. However, US and UK gamers will have to wait a while longer before they are able to purchase all of the above games, Japan as it does returning to it's throne of gaming priority. Now that’s just not fair!
