Wii owners may have empty stockings

It may not be a very merry holiday season for Nintendo Wii owners.

Just two years after the console's release, it looks like Nintendo's innovative gaming platform may be running out of steam with an abysmal holiday lineup of games.

It's downright pathetic when major gaming Web sites list games that have been released for more than seven months as part of their holiday gamers guides for Wii owners.

It seems to say to the only good games for the Wii this year have been "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" and "Mario Kart Wii."

Although the Wii will feature popular multiplatform game, its exclusive support follows the same mistakes Nintendo has made with its previous three consoles.

The Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gamecube and now the Nintendo Wii have all only featured one "Super Mario" title and usually lose support from game developers in the waning years of the console.

Nintendo owners love their consoles because of the fantastic first-party games developed by Nintendo, such as "Mario," "The Legend of Zelda" and "Metroid" titles.

What new games do Wii owners have to look forward to this year?
