Actually, I have only now just opened up Mortal Kombat Armageddon and am actually finding it a cool and relaxing diversion. After that I have an unopened HeatSeeker to mess around with. Before that I had God Father, and before that I was rocking out some Mystical Ninja with my roommate (and some Contra 3 run throughs). Go back further and Sonic was really engrossing for awhile (stopped it halfway when I lent it to my bro, gotta go back and finish it... more gameplay to be had in that one).
And of course ManHunt 2 next month...
Now, I'll admit that school is keeping extremely me busy. There's a reason Heatseeker is sitting there unopened underneath Mortal Kombat. But that's just 5 or so Wii games I've bought/am buying that have captured my attention, plus some VC goodness.
I'm drowning under games for like, the first time in my life. What are you people talking about?

Pretty much each week I'm trying something new out on the Wii.
And on top of that I have Guitar Hero and King of Fighters XI on my PS2 and all the new games coming out for my Xbox360.
Sadly I really have been neglecting my Xbox360. I've been to bussy with my Wii that I haven't had much time to play on it. I really wish I had more time to play games.

I'm not sure why Nintendo has fallen into this same drought that plagued the DS it's first year, it seems as if they should've prepared themselves a bit better to deal with the situation.

I need to beat Super Paper Mario and Zelda TP and I'm almost done with Excite Truck.
And I'm getting RE4: Wii Edition by the end of the month.
Drought, what?

I'm in the same category right now.

"I'm not sure why Nintendo has fallen into this same drought that plagued the DS it's first year, it seems as if they should've prepared themselves a bit better to deal with the situation."
I think it's because the DS was such a success that Nintendo doesn't feel that anything that is similar to the DS is a bad thing. Since the drought didn't seem to affect the DS's success they probably think it won't affect the Wii's. Hell maybe Nintendo thinks having a big drought full of nothing contributed to the DS's success. And Wii's get gobbled up the second they go on sale. Why should Nintendo care if there's a drought when their console is selling through the roof?

That's a damn good point...
Damn capitalism coming back to bite us in the ass.

Nintendo sure isn't going to rush their games out, especially when their console doesn't stay on store shelves, and it would reduce the quality of these games anyway so why should they?
It's the 3rd parties who didn't bet on the Wii who are to blame, the ones currently moving development resources over to the Wii. Had they been moving before the end of 2006, we wouldn't have anything even resembling a drought right now.

ALso there have been a solid stream of games, but like stated earlier it depends on what types of games you like lately we have had:
-Scarface (which is supposed to be a really good game)
-Big Brain
-Mortal Kombat
-Mario Party 8
All of which have came out in the last couple of weeks.

Does Harry Potter on the GC have WIIMOTE controls? I'm sorry, no.
My standards aren't lowered. They're actually raised: give me new experiences, give me wiimote controls, make the old new again.

They care because they make more money from software.

Kairon is right, the new HP has potential with the Wiimote, using it as a wand could be alot of fun.

Or we could all take the Ian approach and just endlessly complain about the same few things day in, day out for years on a video game forum.
Oh wait you don't even own a Wii. BUT THAT NINTENDO!...

"Nintendo should make more real games, all these non-games that I've never played are tearing apart my soul!"
"Nintendo aren't appealing to the mass market with Mario! Mario's old! Where are the new games?"
"This new game is rubbish! It doesn't have the appeal of Mario!"
"This DS game uses the touch screen, it's the downfall of the industry!"
"This DS game doesn't use the touch screen enough, why's it on the DS? Should be on the NES, it's the downfall of the industry!"
"Nintendo don't pump out thirty games a week! They should! Quality over quantity my arse! Just make games you wankers!"
"There are too many terrible games on the Wii! This will ruin the system, just like it did for PS2!"

If he has TP for the GC he has seen pretty much everything the Wii has to offer (oh, wait, you Amerikaner have Super Paper Mario) aside from Wii Sports and while that's a nice game it's not going to keep a regular gamer happy.
Get Mario Strikers
