Impressive list, if they all make it to launch day and not just in the launch period.

I didn't expect to see Farcry, Rayman and Dragon Quest as launch titles. What, Crystal Bearers is there too? Man this is sweet. I wanna get a Wii straight away, but i will be on holiday.

However, there's plenty of decent games to get!

4122 451 26.06.2006 The Croftit says launch period was that is persumably around 3 to 4 months of launch, as for what i am getting it is the same as shiptoncraig assuming Wii Sports is bundled
Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the cliché. They were the statement and the definition."

I think it is a fighting game.
My overall superior inquiry-skills have surpassed - again - The New York Times and Der Spiegel and look-y look-y what I found:
It's coming for PS2 and Wii and read about it here - if you do not look around on IGN.com or gamespot...
edit: "It was confirmed in Nintendo Power that gamers, using the motion sensing controller, will be able to control their fighters by carrying a remote in each hand and mimicking moves from the series." (cited from the link stated above)
Now that's great. And on finishing this game you will have muscles like your heroes in the game. So the look of the ordinary geek and the Wii-geek will differ greatly: "Is he working out? He is so buff!" - "No no, that is one of these computer-kids, stay away, he can kill you with one of these remote-controls, her carries!" *mothers drag their children from the streets and shut the windows, dogs are fleing in horror, streets are deserted. On the beach you will get extra-attention with the girls who want to oil you up.*
Are these guys nuts? How the hell am I to cover 27 launch-titles??? I see, I have to make a bank robbery. There are a lot of games I want to get, a lot more then ten, I think...!
Who said Wii would be cheap? I will get a low-price-console, sure, but the rest is spent on games alone...! *grin*
THAT's what a launch should be about: Let the games speak for themselves and let the console help to gain new experiences. That's what I miss with the other two consoles...

259 31 12.06.2005 Uzoka-SaninEarly this morning I was listening to IGN's Wiik in review podcast and they said that although Metroid Prime 3 may be released within the launch window, it may not necessarily be available from launch day.
Speculation as to this sudden change of plans from Nintendo suggests that Wii already as Zelda which is a huge triple A title on day onetherefore releasing both games isde by side could hinder the potential sales of both. Also they want to give 3rd party software a more stable footing within this period.:cooldude:

Not too bad at all, the weight is in the good stuff.
Not very many first party things mind.

But the first party stuff they do have is quite strong, not like the Waverace/Luigi's mansion of the Gamecube launch. MP3 and LoZ:TP are huge games to launch with. Also RedSteel is being worked on "closely" along with Nintendo. My worry from that list is the lack of a major online killer app aside from FFCC.

yup, more like 3. Zelda, which ill get on Cube. Prime and Final Fantasy.
doesn't seem to warrant a release purchase to me. i want a 360 for about March for Halo 3. so maybe next Christmas. there should be some more games out by then.

1508 81 08.05.2006 noneYes, a lot of games are not mine, either. But You guys are fast with 'game being shite'.
Especially SegaHund states a lot of crap me and some other chose to buy. I personally think 'Open Season' not to be any better than Spongebob, Cars and Madden - other like to buy the later one like crazy.
I found 11 games worth buying and another 5 worth investigating. I checked on GT pro series for being a well done racing game, probably no arcade-racer.
And so I think you should be a bit more smooth on pointing out what is shit and what is not.
I was positively surprised with Raving Rabbids (and so is SegaHund) and still do not entirely know what Ancel has in store for us. But it is already bought for sure...

1508 81 08.05.2006 noneI read 03/30/2007 on german store www.okaysoft.de - but since it is only a store, it may not be reliable...
And: I am eager for Metroid Prime 3, but OLU1701 is right. Two AAA-titles will lower every single one's success significantly I think. So it is better to release MP3 some time later. Maybe Christmas?
