E3 2006 News | Midway Reveals Wii Release Date!

03.05.2006

What you will see below is a Press Release containing some extremely mundane game releases and a subsequent amount of mediocre descriptions. However, check out the date of Blitz: The Leagure...it states 'October' for the Nintendo Wii release. So Nintendo is planning a pre-Thanksgiving US launch, thus side-stepping the PlayStation 3's November release, perhaps? Or has Midway just made a grave error? Who knows, but check it all out below:

Blitz: The League (Nintendo Wii; October 2006) - The celebrated arcade-style football franchise is back and better than ever with a new treatment of America's most popular sport. Blitz: The League exposes the harsh and troubling, behind-the-scenes stories of a fictional professional football league.

Happy Feet (Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS; November 2006) - Based on Warner Bros. Pictures' upcoming comedy adventure Happy Feet, Midway's immersive video game puts the player in the "tap shoes" of Mumble, a young penguin born into a nation of singing Emperor Penguins where each needs a Heartsong to attract a soul mate. Unfortunately, Mumble is the worst singer in the world...however, as it happens, he is a brilliant tap dancer! Based on the general storyline of the film, the player will be able to experience life from the point of view of Mumble in music, dance and interaction with the friends and enemies of the penguin's world.

The Ant Bully (Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance; July 2006 / Nintendo Wii; November 2006) - Go pick on someone your own size! After bullying an innocent ant colony, a young boy named Lucas is magically shrunk down to ant size and embarks on a remarkable adventure. Play as Lucas, experiencing the dangerous and thrilling life of an ant as you battle, explore and forge new friendships with natives and other species in his new ant world. Based on exciting moments from Warner Bros. Pictures upcoming digitally animated family adventure The Ant Bully, and featuring all-new challenges created especially for the game, help Lucas evolve from recluse to hero in his quest to save the colony from extermination.

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance; November 2006) - The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy video game pits the characters from the popular Cartoon Network television show against each other in a fighting-adventure game, filled with mayhem, chaos and over-the-top graphics. In battle mode, up to four players can use a multitude of weapons in destructible arenas like the "Desert of Doom" and the "Underworld" to battle it out and be the last one standing. Players also have the option to play on their own or with a friend in mission mode. There are a series of 45 story-based missions which will encourage players to unlock new weapons and characters like the Boogey Man and Jack O'Lantern.< /li >

Meh, it's wishful thinking, I doubt it'll make October, but if it DOES, & in a simultanious launch too... Well that's good news for Nintendo, & their fans, & bad news for Sony. They had a year headstart with PS2, but if this IS true, then this time they have none Smilie

Thats cool. Let us know what they say.

Working like a fiend isn't very fun... and surprisingly isn't very fiendish either.

Good news to see it coming this early (or at least a chance of it, means they're close at any rate). Can't wait to get hold of a Wii Smilie

I think Midway have just made a mistake with the names/dates. Keep in mind that Blitz: The League is available on multiple platforms, that October date could very well be for another system Smilie .
