Posted May 20, 2006 My most likely purchases at launch will be: 1. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 2. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 3. Super Mario Galaxy (if it makes launch) 4. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz 5. Red Steel (dependant on reviews) 6. An extra controller (if there aren't 2 packaged with it... as some speculate) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 To the people who post these lists of 8+ games... Where do you get the time to play them? I mean come on I have around 70 games for my gamecube, 20 for my DS, about 10 for my GBA and around 15 for my 360 and I have played just about all of them. Guess I have too much time on my hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 To the above post...hmm, i suppose you don't make a point of buying only 8.5 rated games and above right? AAnyway, the games I will be getting are: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Red Steel (Maybe) Rayman Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz Metal Slug Anthology (YESS!! SOMEONE UP THERE STILL LIKES ME!!) Trauma Center: Second Opinion Excite Truck It's frankly mindboggling that there are so many amazing games at launch. From the Cube launch all I got was: Rogue Squadron 2 Luigi's Mansion Waverace Although honestly, these games were utterly amazing, and I still play a load of waverace...the Wii launch is going to make me verrrry happy...best get to pre-ordering...

Posted May 20, 2006 1 Zelda 2 Metroid depending on reviews, maybe Red steel and Monkey ball. And i'm still hoping for a Mario galaxy at launch.... But Zelda and Metroid will do fine for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I have too much time on my hands And you also have far too much money. I thought 20 games for 'cube was relatively big, but dude, seriously. That's crazy. I'm not suprised so many like the launch line-up, though doesn't look too appealing to those casual gamers I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 well, I'll probably get Zelda and MP3. I was thinking about getting Red Steel, but everyone says the controls are weird, so I'll give it a miss, or rent it to see how it is. I might get FF:CC. but not Dragon Quest, and as for controllers, I'll probably get 3 more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 from dante's launch list: 1. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 2. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 9. Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors and maybe: 15. Trauma Center: Second Opinion eventually: Super Mario Galaxy final fantasy crystal chronicals: crystal bearers smash bros brawl (a must... must must must) interestingly enough, those that i have chosen for launch are single player games. guess there goes my little plan for a wii party at my mates place..... ewww that sounds disgusting!

Posted May 21, 2006 To the above post...hmm, i suppose you don't make a point of buying only 8.5 rated games and above right? You would think that wouldnt you but check out the Cube discussion boards for everyones collection and you will find not many of my titles ( if any )are rubbish games, infact most of them are Nintendo made games alongside Capcom and Sega and Namco ones. The same goes for my DS. The fact is its very rare that I sell any of my Nintendo games and I get all their consoles on release day so the collection is built up gradually, its not like I just went out and bought 70 games on one day. As for the money issue I go to work everyday and I earn my cash so I think I have earned the right to spend it on games. Gaming is my favourite past-time so that is where most my cash goes, oh and DVDS aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 I got my Cube at launch and I have about 25 games. I have sold some crappy ones like Die Hard Vendetta, Splinter Cell and Warrior Within, just to name a few. There are still some games I would like to own, but I'll never reach half of 70. That's to be applauded - proper support for the Cube I think. Just had a thought - my Hori pad should work on the Wii, so maybe I don't need to get the Retro controller. But I still might get one, I'm sure it'd be much better.

Posted May 21, 2006 Monkey Ball and Metroid for me. Possibly Zelda and Rayman as well, depends on how much money I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 Obviously Zelda, but less obvious yet evenly pertinent is the so far unnamed game where you get to orchestrate as Shigeru demonstrated, the Zelda-theme, at the E3-conference introduction. I'm quite the fan of classical music, and a conducting-simulation is priority number one à casa fanelia. I only hope one can choose music of his onw liking, and so the game won't be limited to whatever playlist Nintendo provides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 1. Zelda 2. Super Mario Galaxy 3. Extra Wiimote 4. Wiisports 5. Red Steel or Metroid Prime 3 6. Rayman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 I'll eat my hat if I can buy Galaxy at launch (unless I pass a sweet shop on the way, then I can eat that!) Anyway I was wondering would it be cheaper to buy the console and games in a shop or online? Plus I'm sure it's been said but games are still gonna be £40 aren't they (in shops anyway)?

Posted May 21, 2006 I'm probably going to get it online because it will be cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 21, 2006 Mario Galaxy might make it as a launch.There's already 2 killer apps so it's not quite needed.My new confirmed list is :Wii Console ,Twilight Princess,Prime 3,Final Fantasy and maybe Red Steel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 I hope they don't release Galaxy as a launch title. It might be nice to have 3 massive games to choose from on launch day but there may be too many big games. They need to spread the titles out a bit. Smash Bros. and Mario Galaxy over the 6 months after launch will be exciting to wait for I think. Great while we're all getting on with Zelda and Metroid.

Posted May 21, 2006 Things I'll be getting: A Wii console Extra controller or two Maybe the classic controller as well. Zelda : The Twilight Princess Metroid Prime 3 : Corruption Then depending on reviews MAYBE Red Steel and Wii Sports. Maybe.... Then I'll wait for Smash Bros Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy. Can't wait for SSBB... Reading the posts, there was someone who said that there's not much for the casual gamer. I gotta agree with you, cos right now I don't see much for the casual gamer, people who do have lives outside of vidogames and prefer to see realism and great graphics in their next gen consoles. I just hope they'll be able to see the amount of fun you can have with the console and base their views on that, and not simply ignore the Wii cos of the "crap graphics" and "cartoony and childish" games. Man, I hate it so much when my friends say that about Nintendo's games... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
