[QUOTE=Superjay]I'm not impressed either.. well except for Mario Galaxy[/QUOTE]
Are you *sure* you're not impressed? Really really sure? Cause ... I really thought you would be. 
In all seriousness though, why Mario Galaxy in particular. I mean, I think it's going to be a good game, and I will likely buy it, but it's not at the top of my list for Wii games to buy in the next year. And it does surprise me a little that it's a game you are impressed with.
You are probably right, although I have a hard time believing they will be able to launch Smash Bros, Metroid and a Mario game all in the same year. But who knows...

I think they will based on the fact that they tried to make Mario Galaxy a launch game, but needed more time with it; I'm guessing they've had enough by now. Metroid Prime 3 was a confirmed launch title, and it seems like they perfected by now. Smash Bros. is confirmed for a Spring launch, so I doubt it could be pushed into 2008. Of those three games I am really excited about Mario and Smash, but the only was I'm getting Metroid is if it is a perfect 10.

Right now, Metroid Prime 3 and Wario Ware are the only games I am certain to be getting for my Wii in the next few months. I'll likely get a lot more of course, but for certain bets, Metroid Prime 3 and Wario Ware are it.

The only ones I know I"ll be getting are Wii play ($50.00 with a Wii remote), and Smash Bros. if we count that for the next few months. Metroid Prime 3 is a maybe, and Wario Ware is likely a rental for me.

Well the first thing that impressed me with this game is that when I saw video of it playing I didn't think man this looks like a cube game. I love Mario and I didn't like that they game Mario a gimiky water gun in the gamecube version. The use of the Wiimote to do actions on screen instead of controlling Mario look interseting and I want to see Mario do a resurgence. What games do you like mozart top 3 that you find more impresive than Mario Galaxy and what makes them stand out to you?

Actually, that's a surprisingly good explanation, considering. I also didn't like Super Mario Sunshine -- at all.
My most anticipated games:
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS) -- I am looking forward to a game that is controlled entirely by the stylus. It actually looks quite intuitive. It will also be nice to return to Wind Waker graphics.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii) -- It's a game that definitely doesn't look like the Gamecube. It looks like a game that could never have been done on the Gamecube. Additionally, I think it will be the best single example of an FPS control scheme on the Wii. Metroid Prime 1 and 2 weren't really FPS, but Metriod Prime Hunters was and was surprisingly intuitive for an FPS. I think Metroid Prime 3 will be a combination of an FPS using the Wiimote control scheme, yet with all the great gameplay from Metroid Prime 1 and 2.
Mass Effect (XBOX 360) -- The graphics look astounding, but that's not the reason for me. It could look as pitiful as KOTOR and I'd still love it if it had gameplay of the same deep and polished variety that KOTOR provided. And it very much looks like it will at this point.
Silent Hill 0rigins (PSP) -- Finally a game on the PSP that I am interested in. I am looking forward to (hopefully) seeing the events that led up to the town of Silent Hill going into purgatory before the first game. It looks great, has a unique control scheme, etc.
There are others, but that's it for now.

Ugh.
1) Sunshine rocks.
2) Wind Waker sucks. I like it's graphics though.
3) Says the guy who hasn't played Red Steel.
4) KOTOR looked pretty slick.
5) The PSP rocks. It has rocked for a year now.

(1) Sunshine sucked... royally.
(2) Wind Waker does not suck. It's a less than stellar Zelda game, which makes it better than most games ever made.
(3) Looks like your spies have failed you. I have played Red Steel.
(4) KOTOR was underwhelming graphically speaking.
(5) The PSP hasn't rocked for a year now. It's just beginning to come into its own really. It takes more than a few compilations to "rock". But it's getting there.
