Mario, Metroid, Smash Bros. and Sonic penciled in for this year

After last week's touting of the 44 Wii games Nintendo has in development, the company has since detailed the titles it will be rolling out in Japan this year - and it's a mighty impressive list indeed.

According to the list - which was swiped from financial documents by IGN - Nintendo will release its three big hitters: Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Smash Bros. Brawl in Japan this year - and considering their importance, probably the rest of the world as well.

Bolstering the franchise trio are more mainstream-friendly offerings Wii Music and Wii Health Pack, which should no-doubt nab Nintendo some colossal sales amongst the elderly and girl gamers we've been hearing so much about.

So without further babble here's the list - but don't be too surprised if some of these see a delay into next year.

Now these are the hames that i'd love to see, when the mario games start to appear then the Wii sales will sky rockeet even more.

Who would have though, Mario and Sonic in a game together. Back in the 90's you would have been bericked to death for even mentioning it. Lol.
