Wii Will Have 140 Games by Year's End
Carlos Bergfeld

By the end of 2007, Nintendo expects 140 games to be available for the Wii, and 450 games available for the DS, the company announced today. Nintendo coupled the announcement with a gigantic release list for both the Wii and DS detailing the rest of the year's retail schedule, as well as releases into early 2008.

The recently delayed Smash Bros. Brawl will not be among the 140 total Wii titles seen before the year's end, and its new February 10 retail date appears in the list.

To see when your anticipated Wii and DS games are coming out, check out the full Wii release and DS release schedules.

    That is super impressive considering the n64 and the GC had like 140 a total year (ok exaggeration but you know what i mean).

      When I worked at Babbage's circa 1999-2000 I noticed that the SKU's, which would all start at some number, so the first PSX in the system game was something like 630001, the first Dreamcast game Sonic Adventure was like 830001 or something, etc. The N64, which came out in 1996 and by that point was towards the end of its life, had SKU numbers in the 250's (so if, for example, Super Mario 64 was 640001, then the latest games were like 640251) whereas the PSX new game numbers were closing in on 2,000.

      So your statement that the N64 had 140 per year might have been an exaggeration.
