Revision as of 22:31, 11 July 2007

For some people's complaints about Nintendo not focusing on "real" games enough, it seems they've got more than they did with GamCube, even before we know what they'll show at E3.  For GameCube I think I've got all NOA-released titles for 2001 and 2002.  For Wii I've listed titles with 2007 NOA release dates.
