Upcoming Wii Titles......

Any Wii games that y'all are lQQking forward to?

I'm waiting for UPS to drop off my copy of FIFA08 today, which I pre-ordered through EA but was delayed because they didn't make enough discs @ launch.

Other titles....

Zelda Crossbow

Batallion Wars 2 [Rental]

Mario Kart Wii

Rygar [Rental]

Any MMORPG......

Mario Kart Wii and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

No More Heroes is the top of my list. Ahead of Mario Galaxy and even Brawl. I want it more than my next 5 minutes of oxygen. Why, Suda!? Why do you keep this game from me?! Ubisoft picked the title up for release in North America, so with a little luck we'll see it soon.

Project O also looks awesome, and I can't wait for it. It's like a cross between Pikmin, Harvest Moon and The Sims. Basically, you're a king, and you have to defend your kingdom. You can take groups of your people out into the wild to explore and kill baddies, have them make your castle and build the city etc. It looks really fun and very well designed. IIRC it's also being made by Grasshopper Manufacture (Suda's studio), and being published in Japan by Marvelous.

Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is supposed to be all kinds of alright according to one of the staff members at Destructoid. Tight controls (including a quickturn. Beat that, Samus!) and 32-player online with no friend codes via EA's network. Sometimes, EA does good work.

Of course, I'm looking forward to standard Nintendo faire which includes Galaxy, Brawl and Mario Kart, I'm just looking forward to those titles more.

That's funny. I'm looking more forward to 3rd party titles than I am Nintendo titles.

Is there any MMORPGs coming? It would be dope if they picked up FFXI, since the PS2 is keeping the graphics old-skool...

Mario Galaxy: It's been a while since I played a good platformer should be fun, looks great.

Brawl: Potentially fun, I'm starting to waver though...I just have this gut feeling that Nintendo will do a bad job with the online component and it will be nothing more than an update to Super Smash Melee, which was an update to the Smash Bros N64.

Fire Emblem: I was excited about a strategy RPG, I never played the earlier game but I heard it was good and I am a fan of the genre. Although ever since I learned this was a gamecube port and we're a year into the Wii's life my interest has also wanned, I'll wait for reviews on it.

Nights:I loved Nights for Saturn, and I was jumping for joy when news broke of a Wii Nights, although most of the media thats come out for it has looked bad, and the game has mostly looked like a graphics update not a sequel, the hands on reports have been positive, so again I'll wait for reviews.

Mario is really the only thing I know of in the Wii's future that I am pretty positive I'll drop money on. Honestly my Wii has seen more time being a gamecube than being a Wii.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

Oh, and Guilty Gear XX Accent Core was recently released! Happy day! I was really looking forward to getting my hands on a good 2D fighting game again.

Well now that Okami is confirmed I'll probably buy it. I'd be a lot more interested Geometry Wars if it was a download. Anyone know if this game is going to be full price since it's on disc?

I'm not sure if this will even happen, but I am waiting for a great RTS to utilize the control schemes of a Wii.

If Geometry Wars: Galaxies is more than say, $30, I'm not touching it. The game was like $10 on XBLA and frankly, putting it on a DVD does not cost an extra $20. However, it does look great. I can only hope that more games like that come to the Wii (I'm looking at you, Every Day Shooter)

/nod If Okami is confirmed, then it looks like I'll be buying a Wii.

Okami has been confirmed. Also, I'm getting it on release day.

Finally got around to playing FIFA 08. It's actually really good. Neither my friend, or I had ever played before and we both just picked it up played a few matches.

I suggest that y'all give it a shot if you like soccer.

*I think that "Winning Eleven" is coming to the Wii as well, so that's probably gonna be a good one.

Still waiting for Metroid Prime 3, since its not out over here till the 26th

You poor, poor soul.

At least you can download the Metroid Prime 3 Preview Channel and have a look at all the fun we're having.

Yes! My kind of man. I just bought 2x Wii's (the last 2 my EB Games had) and I opened one, and plan on selling the other right around Christmas and hopefully that one will cover the cost of both

I'm just wondering how long Nintendo can go with no games...I mean people bash PS3 for not having any games...but at least they are getting some of the 3rd party games like sports and shooters even if arriving late. On the Wii side I actually forget I have a console that I can buy new releases for.

Ghost Squad is GOTY 2007.

Absolutely no contest.
