My 2 Cents (or whatever they’re worth): While January certainly won’t be as exciting a month for Wii owners as February will be, it has a decent offering of games. Samurai Warriors: Katana seems like it might prove as an interesting entry into the series due to the Wii controls. This might actually be the “sword game” we’ve been waiting for on the Wii. Bass Fishing will also be a fun time killer, hopefully as fun as some of the fishing games for the Dreamcast. Endless Ocean sounds truly original, and worthy of at least a trial run. Let’s also not forget Bomberman, the venerable franchise that is finally returning to its roots after the horrible Act Zero installment.
