Yesterday we posted some news coming from  Nintendo of America’s COO, who said that more Wii games are on the way. Thanks to an interview posted over on IGN, we’ve finally received Reggie Fils-Aime’s full response regarding the lack of new titles for the console this year. Basically, Reggie stated that Nintendo has held off on some Wii releases so that the 3DS as well as Pokemon Black/White could have some time in the spotlight. But apparently there will be some new content revealed before E3.

“We have had to effectively prepare for the launch of 3DS as well as effectively prepare for the launch of Pokemon Black and Pokemon White. Candidly, we’ve pushed out some Wii launches so that we can focus on our handheld business. We’re already juggling two big balls. To add a third would be a little bit challenging – or a fourth or a fifth. And so there’s a reason why your viewers haven’t gotten any information about Wii, at least from a first-party perspective. We’re waiting to space things out and let Pokemon Black and White and let Nintendo 3DS live and breath out there. But there’s content coming. And we’ll be sharing more certainly in the weeks ahead. We’ll be bringing some content out before E3, and then certainly at E3 we’ll be sharing more news.”

As we’ve stated previously, there are quite a number of Wii titles Nintendo could bring for North American gamers. Xenoblade and The Last Story are two high-quality RPGs released by the company in Japan, but haven’t been officially announced for the US. Moreover, the new Kirby Wii project is very likely to receive localization this year. Then, of course, there are question marks about a few other titles, such as the recently announced Pandora’s Tower, which is also Japan-only at the moment.
