2010 is looking like it could be the Wii’s strongest year in terms of first-party support. If all goes as planned, Nintendo’s three big guns – Mario, Metroid, and Zelda – will all ship to store shelves. Those who are anticipating Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, Zelda Wii, and even Sin and Punishment 2 are all excited for 2010, including Reggie Fils-Aime.

“Absolutely (we’re excited about next year). And in terms of the three that we highlighted during E3, Sin and Punishment first off is going to be something that the Nintendo fan can get really excited about. Galaxy 2, what can you say? Mr. Miyamoto himself is very excited about it. He thinks it really adds even more to that great title. And then Other M. And that’s another franchise that personally I’ve got great memories of. Back to a side-scrolling Metroid title. So, all great.”

Initially, Tales of Vesperia was a PS3 exclusive. In 2009, however, the game was ported to the PS3. Now may a Wii release be possible?

Rikiya Koyama, a voice actor for the Japanese version of the game, wrote a new blog post today and acknowledged a Wii edition. After launching on the 360 and PS3, Koyama said that a Wii version would be next. Of course, Namco Bandai hasn’t confirmed anything at this time. And who knows, perhaps Koyama was actually referring to Tales of Graces.

Believe it or not, the PS3 outsold the Wii for the first time since launch in September. This is, of course, based on the September 2009 NPD sales data report. Both Sony and Nintendo applied price cuts during that month. But although Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO of Nintendo of America, is pleased with the Wii price cut numbers thus far, he was quick to point out on the latest episode of GameTrailers TV that the PS3 had a longer period with its drop and therefore “you have to put it in perspective.”

“So far it’s selling really well. We’ve been very pleased with the numbers. We’re really pleased as we get ready for the holiday season…You know, you have to put it in perspective. They had five full weeks of price reduction in their favor, we had the one week. And even with that, the gap was pretty small.”

This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto, on the latest episode of GameTrailers TV…

“We’re in the middle of finalizing the game, the ideas that we’ve created, almost entirely new courses for Super Mario Galaxy 2. Of course we’ve added some new abilities for Mario. And the goal is to take the system and the gameplay of the original Super Mario Galaxy and turn it into something that’s a little more expanded and offers a great deal of challenge for people that enjoyed that first game.”

The original Super Mario Galaxy provides an incredibly entertaining experience, so following the game’s announcement, I was extremely happy. And if Galaxy 2 was to be more of the same (although I don’t think it will be), just being able to roam around in new levels would be fantastic.
