Teppo Holmqvist Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 If you've got Mario Galaxy in there I think you should add on Smash Bros. too.... Smash Bros was clearly stated to be late 2007 title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teppo Holmqvist Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Wasn't Mario Galaxy the same? First, we are talking launch window games. Secondly Miyamoto only stated that if SMBG isnt' there for launch, it will be released during next six months (before june in worst case scenario). And Nintendo officially believes that SMBG will be out before end of current fiscal year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I still think good launch but not having smash bros or galaxy as a launch title is a mistake!I think we can all agree that smash bros would have been the better launch title to metroid 3 which was what it was supposed to be in the first place.

Fresh Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I thought we learnt from the cube that having a non-mario lauch title is risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerMonkey Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 yea but we are getting zelda as a launch title instead which makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PioRow Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The lack of a Mario Game at launch is worrying. Nintendo have a heritage of releasing brilliant games with their consoles which normally means a Mario Game. You could argue that Zelda is that game and while I agree Zelda will be one of the best games (if not the best) you'll play this year it is a GameCube conversion and will not really show off the Wii. Hopefully Metroid 3 will be amazing and make up for the lack of Mario at release. I'm looking forward to Wii sports, while it might not be a indepth game I think it will be a lot of fun and in 2 player its going to be great.

Fierce_LiNk Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 In a way, i am a bit glad that they've decided to go for Zelda at launch and not Mario. As we've seen with New Super Mario Bros. leaving it later will just make people more hyped for it. It was flying off the shelves in Japan, and did considerably well in the states and Europe.

Patch Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Don't forget that Nintendo are aiming squarely at the casual market, probably more so than the hardcore. It wouldn't surprise me if Wii Sports, not Zelda, was the bestselling launch game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! Especially because now MP3 and RedSteel have to battle each other sales wise (I know technically they are not the same genre, but nevertheless they share similarities) and if RedSteel sales are not as good as expected Ubisoft might withdraw some of their Wii support. Happend with the GC too so Nintendo should be carefull! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to play them before I buy, hopefully GAME will have demo pods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazzahdrane Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I wouldn't expect to see any Wii pods before launch, maybe at launch or soon after (if at all - but I'm sure Nintendo realise that many people will want to "try before they buy" with the Wii). Could be wrong though, I'd love to get a chance to play a Wii before release! And I work in a games store so...playing Wii after hours before launch, awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 oh dear god wii pods are an essential.the 360 ones were rubbidh but people need to play to believe nintendo.I never remember seen any gamecube ones at it's time and ds ones are hard to come by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always people playing Rockstar Table Tennis or Blazing Angels on it, and the fact that it has an HD screen really enhances the look of the games.

The fish Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Call of Duty 3 (Activision, D1) Far Cry (Ubisoft, D1) Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Nintendo, D1) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Nintendo, D1) Red Steel (Ubisoft, D1) Resident Evil (Capcom, March 2007?) Wii Sports (Nintendo, D1) Damn it, I need those 7 games! That's not including things I might get, like WarioWare. And almost all are launch.. My wallet/bank account is going to be seriously lightened If it's £40 a game, plus (let's say) £130 for a Wii, as well as £25 a controller then... (does calculations) If I get all the launch games I want at launch and a second controller, then it's £395. Crap. OK, if I wait and get FarCry, Red Steel, and a 3rd and 4th controller at christmas (from of course), then it's 4 games at launch so thats... (does more calculations) ...£315. That's more reasonable. But wait! Halo 3, SSBB, REWii, RE5, Lost Planet, BiA3 and Assassin's Creed all come out in Q1 '07... Presuming I can get the 360 games at £40, and by then the Wii games at £35 then that's £270. So between now and the end of Q1, I need to have saved and spent a total of... £585 That's over a 3rd of my savings! :eek: Still, at least I will have enough games to last me until 2010:awesome:. And about £100 at christmas from friends, relatives, etc, will help. And I just got a (kind of) job, working for my mum, getting £12 extra a week (it all adds up) for a total of about (for me) 45 mins, which is nice. I'll also need to be a cheapskate until 1st April '07 Looks like GoW, LoZPH, WW:SM, and Supreme Commander are all out of the question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PioRow Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I feel sorry for people who have time to play as many games as you just listed!!! I remember when I was a teenager and I used to play games a lot I used to buy that quantity of games but the price didnt phase me as I was completing the games and therefore getting great value for money. These days I dont get much time to play games. I have 4 games for my 360 and havent completed 1 of them and havent devoted enough time to any of them. I have however spent loads of time on my DS which is my current console of choice. The point I think I'm trying to get at is unless your going to play all these games from start to finish I would limit yourself to a few essential buys. Games like zelda and metroid are going to take a while to complete. Wii sports can be played when zelda becomes too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need pods of better games and kameo was a stupid game for a pod too!They need to be quick and easy to get into games that's why i think wii has an advantage.just give everyone wii sports and that's all you need!

All the 'pods' I saw before/just after launch had a number of games on them including PGR3, CoD2, Kameo and some other games. I managed to get into all the games I played there really easily. ps.

Blue_Ninja0 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I found this interesting (the graphs). But didn't know where to put it, besides this thread, so: http://www.technophilia.org/ Wii, has both more games in development and exclusives than PS3, wich is good.
