Its good to see Nintendo pumping out so many excellent games at this rate. The GameCube took years before we got a good Mario and even longer for Zelda and Mario Kart. In a year an a half the Wii will have a new Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, and Kirby along with their new franchises. Its definitely due to the fact that they are working on similar hardware, which has given them an advantage with development this time.
