Nintendo is known for some of the best video game franchises in the history of the industry. This past decade saw the debut of many great new franchises from them.

Gaming Target posts the fourth part of their weeklong look at their favorite games from 2009. Eight games will be posted every day with "The Best of the Best" appearing on Friday.

"With its potent combination of no school and dangerous UV rays, summer is a great time for gamers. In the past, very few good games would come out between mid-June and mid-September, but based on the wealth of great titles on deck, those days are officially gone. Take a break from the blazing sun and enjoy some serious play time with these ten terrific summer games."

"I must admit it was pretty difficult to choose the “finalists” since there are over 50 Wii games to be released this year (at least this is the number we know of!). Therefore, we had to let out other promising titles like Endless Ocean 2, Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers or Overlord, but I’m pretty sure that the list below manages to cover the hottest upcoming releases. So check it out!"
