Yeah, like around the time Iwata became president, Nintendo said they wanted to release about one first party game per month for the cube.
So far, they've kept that promise.
I can't provide a source, but I DO remember reading that.

Not just Nintendo but MUST HAVE games for the GC :
January : Resident Evil 4
February : Starfox : Assault
March : Donkey Konga Jungle Beat
April : ¿??¿
May : ¿?¿?
June : Geist / Killer 7
April and May would be great to place the Donkey Konga 2 and 3 realeses, so that you'd have a "Bongo Term".

I wonder how long it'll take Nintendo to translate Fire Emblem.
So far, for Nintendo published games on the Gamecube, I see:
Star Fox Armada (Namco)
Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (Nintendo Tokyo)
Donkey Konga 2 (Namco)
Mario Baseball (Namco)
The Legend of Zelda (EAD)
Odama (Vivarium) - I think this is Nintendo published
Geist (n-Space)
Mario Party 7 [probably
] (Hudson)
Fire Emblem (Intelligent Systems)
Kirby (HAL?)
Pokemon ? (???)
And then throw in a possible Super Mario platformer by EAD. Though, I think it's more likely we see it in 2006 at this point.

This has got to be the Cube's biggest year yet in Japan:
Zelda should get close to a million
Resident Evil 4 should do 600k +
Kirby will do 600k+
Pokemon- who knows, depends how good it is, could easily top a million if a proper RPG
Starfox Armada - 400k
Fire Emblem - 350k
Homeland- again who knows? Could be huge...
Mario Baseball - 300k +
There's certainly a much stronger line-up than this year has been over there.
The GC definitely isn't dead yet...

I think you overshot a lot of those.
Zelda will be lucky to hit MM numbers. The series has faded with its last two installments.
RE4 *might* hit 400k at the most.
Kirby will do around 250k-350k
Star Fox will do about 240k
Fire Emblem, about 180k-220k
Mario Baseball, about the same as Fire Emblem. Probably less
All of it has to do with the GC dying in Japan. The system needs more than one game a month. It needs some solid third party support. It's not getting it in 2005.

I think Mario Baseball should do very well over there. On averge, how well do the best-selling baseball games do in Japan?
Off the top of my head, Power Pro Baseball does aroun 450k on PS2 each year, while Netchu Pro Baseball (Namco's realistic baseball sim) does around 300k.
Back in the days of the SNES, Namco's Famista (who are making Mario Baseball) used to do 700k+, while the original NES game did 2 million.
World Stadium games (by Namco on PS) also did 400-500k on a regular basis.
Baseball is as big as golf and tennis in Japan. Mario Golf did about 300k and Tennis will prob edge close to 450k by the time it's done, so i think 350k ish is about right for Mario Baseball, or maybe even more...

Pretty good numbers. It's amazing Nintendo hasn't thought of using Mario characters in a baseball game yet.
