Nintendo's unusual 2009 Wii strategy: publishing the oldies

[Dave U. Random]

Kotaku

Major music labels are happy to re-release re-mastered
classic albums, year after year. Video game publishers, by
contrast, focus on issuing new games. But in 2009, Nintendo
hasn't been doing that, as the full-year release lists now
make clear.

The impending release of Wii Fit Plus in two weeks
(Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/WiiFitPlus ) is the latest in an
atypical 2009 publishing pattern for Nintendo, one of the
most active publishers in the industry. On the DS and
through download services, Nintendo continues to issue many
new games. But on its home console this year, Nintendo has
backed an unprecedented number of re-issues and
compilations, a strategy that reaches its crescendo with
the October 4 issuing of Wii Fit Plus.

Here is the company's slate for this year..
