Wii launch lineup narrowed

RED STEEL!!! RED STEEL!!! RED STEEL!!!

I wonder if they will put a grand theft auto game on the wii?

There's a couple of good games coming out, but most of them are third party games and are based on films. I am getting Rayman soon because I finally got a second controller. Then I shall wait for Elibits and Metal Slug.

Soooooooo Erotic! i am loving it OOOOOOH YES!

Im glad Metal Slug and Excite Truck will make it. Those were the only ones I wanted.

OHHHHHHHHH

This should be the best Next-gen system. far better than the X-box 360. altough some of the more anticipated games will have to wait untill 2007. such as Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Stubz that's extremely old news

So I'm To Assume That Metroid Prim 3: Corruption Is Coming Out Early 2007. Great... Just Great.

i think the wii will be the greatest launch in history. And it will be the most popular, but the fps games on wii doesnt look that good can aggree with that, but the fps games is ONLY good on pc ;)

the thing is the more we as gamers support the WII the more third party developers will be enticed to make games for the WII think about it if ps3 doesn't do as well as WII we might even be getting games like metal gear solid nunchak of the patriots lol and other great titles i mean i wouldn't want to play games on another console in such a boring and tedious manner so i say we all just get WII's

hey you know for you people who think that you have to "swing" your arms around like mad you don't. I have personaly got to try out the Wii and ill i can say is AWSOME... First of all its only like 3 DVD cases wide and about that long, and also the gameplay is great. Who really cares what the name of the game is you sould still play the game becasue of how good the game is. As for swinging the controller for instance Zelda you don't have to make any Large swings to move the sword, just flicking it will do just fine. As for the virtual games... be happy that your getting anything that is close to backwords compadable. I mean you could go and get roms and stuff but if you get caught you could get in huge trouble. Also for the amount on the Wii compared to the 360 would could like the whole list and still have more games to play then the 360 did and if i know nintendo right... they will have plenty of virtual games to come out later on... i mean come on... you really think they they would stop at a list that short... only if they mean to act stupid.

it's def one of the best system that nintendo that put out since the snes it thats what you mean

Wii is the best console we have ever seen, isn't it ;)?

That is really all consoles do now is get better graphics and few other tinkerish things. A new controller is a big diffrence in gameplay. And will change the way we play games and think about it. Heck, all the fat nerds will become beefy with muscles. It seems like it will be more then some mindless bunch of games and interaction between you and a controller.

@ LowPs They are fanboys,Making sense isn't a strong point of theirs ;) Super Swing Golf should be rented or Bought by anyone who likes games,Trust me this Golf game is more then you might think.

I agree with lowps. I might also do that.

guys, if anyone says the wii is just a GC with better grafx and a new controller tacked on, ima punch them in the nose. Im getting friggin sick of that argument. Cuz its so controversial. Waht is the 360? just an Xbox with better grafx, a better controller, and whatnot. Same with PS3. So if anyone says that, shut it.

To "eric2mrng",as for violence, there is going to be a resident evil remake for your mature-video game based desires.

WOW they'ew already selling out on the movie-games. TSK TSK TSK, Where's METROID I ask ????

"this is junk. Wii is been over-rated"- ajdelvalle84 Incorrect. The Wii Rocks. I love Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. But Nintendo is going to win it all this time.

RED STEEL RED STEEL RED STEEL!!!!

this is junk. Wii is been over-rated

Well, Nintendo has good sequels.

they arent really sequals, for example, all the splinter cell games are basicly the same, the same with devil may cry and indeed halo. but there is a vast difference between super mario bros., super mario world and super mario 64, the same between metroid, super metroid and metroid prime, the games develop so vastly that they are almost completly different from their predecesors.

is funny how nintendo fans Criticize other system for having sequels when nintendo have put out the same games for decades , mario, zelda and metroid prime.

Why are there so many negative comments? This looks like it could be the greatest launch in history... even better than Dreamcast's (nobody can argue that wasn't a great launch lineup). Zelda alone is looking fantastic and would completely justify purchasing a Wii, but then you got a ton of other games that would merit a purchase. Super Monkey Ball, Rayman, Excite Truck, Trauma Center, and Madden all look great and I would be surprised if any of them got a bad review... AND you've got a games that COULD end up being great like Red Steel, Splinter Cell, Far Cry: Vengence, Elebits, Downhill Jam, and COD 3... There are so many games to choose from, not all of them will end up being memorable experiences, but with this many titles with great potential... atleast 5-7 will be must-haves. This is probably one of the most complete, across the board launches ever.

You forget the greatest game of all Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Need For speed. Wait a minute all these games are great. Your crazy

The only impressive games here are: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent, Red Steel, Call of Duty 3, and Madden NFL 07.

3 games I know I want, also 3 games I may want. Sweet line up. Though only one first person shooter, so I think lots of 360 fans will say the line up stinks. Good thing I usually don't like FPS's.

other than wii sports and zelda, these games don't look too impressive. i can wait for metroid, super mario galaxy, and maybe even the new super smash bros.

4quarters, I think you seem to be suffering from selective amnesia. . . Last I remember, the PS3 line-up consisted of mainly sequels and ports. . .And so did the 360 last year. Oh, and basically the entire last two years of the industry overflowed with, you guessed it, sequels and ports. But, I suppose its easy for "big-boys" to forget they themselves are playing the same game time after time when they feel the only way to prove to themselves they are important is to take out their frustrations with their ill-conceived lives with countless FPSs, pimp-my racers, urban sandboxes, and sports titles.

eric2mrng: Its all about Zelda TP!! I just hope they release more mature content next year, red steel dont cut it for me... wasnt there a game being developed where you gotta run through a city thats being hit with natural disasters? somethin like the "day after tomorrow" film.. cant remember where i read it from... O.o Its name is Disaster: Day of Crisis... But i really don't know if you could say it's gonna be a good game...

Hope the same are for us Aussies!

Nintendo will stagger its big hitters as they always do. Don't expect Metroid and Mario in the same Quarter, much less (a prediction) the same year.

The lineups okay, but as we all know, Nintendo will put out all the killer apps after the initial console rush at launch, just to snag more gamers and non-gamers alike. Oh, and if you read 4quarters' post and smell Sony or MS fanboy, say 'aye.'

4quarters: I forgot their market is 6 year old kids -------------------------------- Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent, Call of Duty 3, and Red Steel.. You actually think these games are for 6 year old kids? Maybe you should join forces with Jack Thompson.

I'm getting Zelda and Super Monkey Ball at launch. Red Steel could be cool, but I'll wait for an actual review. I"m also excited that Super Swing Golf will come out this year. Excite Truck might be interesting too. Throw in the free Wii Sports and Nintendo has a really good launch lineup. Next year, looking forward to Smash Bros and Wario Ware.

i sorta expected that to happen but it still has a good line up

I don't think I'll be getting a Wii in '06...just having Zelda doesn't cut it

Wait so metal Slug is available at launch right?

Watcha doing Midway making games like The Ant Bully, Happy Feet, Rampage, and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. No matter what system you released them on they are still not going to be fun. Same goes to you too Vivendi releasing Ice Age 2. What's wrong with you companies. The Wii has a good game list they don't need those games to screw it up.

Can you even read, or did your bias cause you to skip Red Steel?

Good launch games for Wii... I may get one on Christmas...

Holy crap!! The only original property on the list is Elebits!! EVERY GAME IS A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even the big N couldn't put out a new game instead beefing up an already late to market Zelda!! Excite Truck, wow Nintendo land of the LAMEST names for EVERYTHING, the Wii ?, Excite Truck?, I forgot their market is 6 year old kids, and older teens who won't admit that they just can't afford a real big-boy toy like 360 or PS3, no,no,no, enjoy waving your arms around like chickens and telling people it's cool to play really outdated-looking games.

Omniel_YHVH, I'm right with ya!

if i cant get a hold of red steel im going to comit sepuku/hurikari (just kidding and i think thats how you spell it) :D

amurphy245 "wtf? 1 game gets delayed and they make such a negative headline?" Word

D@mnit. Red Steel better be there, and if I don't get my Zelda-fix I will be forced to raise an army.
