Launch List: What are you getting?

[Teuthida]

• The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
• Wii Sports
• Red Steel
• Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
• Madden NFL 2007
• Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
• Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
• Metal Slug Anthology
• Trauma Center: Second Opinion
• Elebits
• Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
• Blitz: The League
• Rayman Raving Rabbids
• SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab
• Disney/Pixar's Cars

Right now the only one I'm 100% sure about is Zelda though I won't know if I'll be getting the Cube or Wii version until reading some reviews of the control scheme. Rayman Raving Rabbids from what little was shown really looks cool. Like something from the mind of Tim Burton or Jhonen Vasquez. On the fence with Metroid Prime 3.

How about you guys?

I'm getting rid of my DS.

[Jason1]

Okay, well the ones that are almost a guaranteed purchase are:

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

And the following will depend on reviews, and how the games are looking in the future:

Wii Sports
Red Steel
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
Rayman Raving Rabbids

Zelda for sure.
Metroid Prime 3 if its worth the price or wait for a drop.
Wii sports...maybe. Have ot wait on reviews and price. Hope its not expensive.
Super Monkey Ball..maybe. It sounds like it will work well with the Wii.
Trauma Center definitely. I have the DS version and I liked it. Though the timer in it was a dumb idea, IMO.

The rest maybe. Depends on reviews.

[Ginkasa]

I thought they said Metroid Prime wouldn't be available for launch? I thought I read that somewhere... I'm probably wrong.

Anyway, I'll probably just get Zelda at the start. I very rarely get more than one game at launch...

Zelda's not really a launch game though...will it be Wii-tastic?

If that tennis game is out at launch, that looks like fun.

[GameMaster]

Probably just Zelda. Although I would like a game that makes heavy use of the wii-troller.

[Jonbo298]

In a new intereview IGN had with a few from the MP3 team, they said its a launch title so I'm assuming it still is.

If its Zelda, and its on the Wii, it is wii-****ing-tastic. Punk.

I meant that it would take good advantage of the new Wii, and not be a clever marketing ploy by Nintendo to suck fans into buying their new console opposed to getting the Cube version which is what they originally were supposed to have the game for.


But I'm sure it will be wii-tastic.

[C.H]

It all depends how my money situation is at the time, but:

Zelda is just a given

I almost want to say Red Steel because i love the idea, but want to see the verdicts first

Monkey Ball or Wii sports would be a good first buy because they'll probably be the best party games.

Metroid Prime 3 would definetly tempt me

Although its not listed, Excite truck if it makes launch cause it looks awesome.

And i love quirk games so i really want to see how Elebits works out.

Obviously i wont be able to afford all these, Zelda's the only cert, but i'll just have to wait and see how the other titles pan out before launch.

[Storm Eagle]

Without a doubt, I'd take Metroid Prime: Corruption and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They might not be out exactly the same time as Wii gets released, but they seem like they'll be released close enough to the Wii system's launch. So I'll definitely have to see about getting Wii at its launch date.

The new launch line up looks something like this

1. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
3. Wii Sports
4. Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
5. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
6. Madden NFL 2007

The ones with (*) are possible for launch but most likely launch window titles.

[Jonbo298]

I have $385 in premiere choice card things I could redeem for Best Buy..and more coming in the next few months from work. I may be walking out of BB with a giant sack of things if this launch lineup still looks this good. At least about 25% are probably worth a purchase.
