29 Wii games on launch, an additional 3 by the end of december. There's also 30 Virtual Console games available as well.

What will you be picking up?

I'm getting Zelda, obviously, and I'm very seriously considering Super Swing Golf after seeing the recent previews of it. I'd like to pick up a second Wii-mote, but I don't think I can swing it.

Also, I'm highly disappointed at the initial VC list.

Insiderr · 11-07-2006, 04:45 PM

Zelda obviously. And then Rayman most likely. Maybe Madden, I dunno.

Darus Grey · 11-07-2006, 04:53 PM

I'm going for Zelda/Red Steel/Excite Truck at launch.

VC offerings arn't surprising, for at least the first year they're gonna add them slowly(just like 360) to increase sales, then once it becomes glutted with titles they'll just start releasing them in huge batches.

Zefah · 11-07-2006, 04:56 PM

Man that is a boatload of shitty games.

Luckily Zelda more than makes up for all of the crap. Having Zelda as a launch title is pretty damn awesome.

I am surprised they didn't finish Mario Galaxy in time for launch though. This must be the first Nintendo system with out some kind of Mario game for its launch.

Hateyou · 11-07-2006, 04:58 PM

Wow, that's horrible.

Sean · 11-07-2006, 05:01 PM

Yeah, I'm basically buying it for Zelda alone, and that'd be fine with me if that was all there ever was on the system.

Though, I'll pick up Metriod Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy when they come out I'm sure.

Kato Danzo · 11-07-2006, 05:11 PM

I used to play Pangya, the game that Super Swing Golf is modeled after online in Japan, and it was quite fun. I actually plan to pick that up too, the control scheme seems interesting.

http://www.n-sider.com/newsview.php?...y&storyid=2440 is a nifty calculator. Fuck Canadian taxes(Who needs free health Care anyway!)

Gonna go for Zelda(Is there honestly anyone who isnt?) / Red Steel. Probably rent the DBZ game to fuck around.

Ill probably download Golden Axe / Toe Jame and Earl / Gunstar Heroes for some awesome retro multiplayer with a friend.

Why hasnt Super Mario RPG ever been ported ever? It would be amazing for VC :/.

Theres a video I lost the link of. It has the Farcry game playing with the Nunchuck and Wiimote performing the actions you would do to use it in game. Was really cool.

Im split about picking up Splinter Cell for Wii or just plain old Xbox.

Obligatory Super Smash Brothers/Metroid/Mario sentence too~!

Talenvor · 11-07-2006, 07:01 PM

Just Zelda for now. Once the VC has Chrono Trigger, FF2, and FF3 I'll pick those up too.

Wii sports and Zelda will keep me happy for a long time.

Here are some more VC games probably coming soon after release.

Stonepaw · 11-07-2006, 07:25 PM

Well. Kirby/Punch Out/Duck Hunt are on my list.

Remake of Japenese FF3 in 3d comes out the 14th(DS), and the old US Final Fantasy 3(5) came out yesterday for Gameboy advance. Wouldnt surprise me if they kept it off VC for a long time :/

BitterButter · 11-07-2006, 07:46 PM

Great list of games at launch. My picks will be Zelda, Red Steel. DBZ 2, Elebits and Marvel Ultimate Alliance are maybes. As far as the VC games go nothing really stands out as a must have.

Cadrid · 11-07-2006, 08:02 PM

Zelda and Super Monkey Ball on release. Super Mario, Smash Bros., and DBZ:BT2 when they come out.

As for the VC, nothing released initially catches my interest.

Sithro · 11-07-2006, 08:06 PM

For me, I think it's going to be the Zelda, Red Steel (maybe), and hrmm... Rayman.

Needless · 11-07-2006, 08:15 PM

what the hell.
nobody else but myself is excited about trauma center?
that shit almost excites me as much as zelda.

Zefah · 11-07-2006, 08:36 PM

Honestly I think Trauma Center would be better off staying on the DS. I haven't played it so I can't comment, but that is a game where you want extreme accuracy and I doubt you will be able to get that with a big remote from a few meters away. Who knows though.
