+ one free VC download with purchase of Wii (im being optimistic)

And there are some pieces of evidence that Nintendo has more...I seem to remember someone suggesting Nintendo would supply a large percentage of launch games, and Nintendo said that it wasn't showing everything, and more games are to be revealed at this upcoming convention.

I predict the final launch list will reach the 30 game mark.

Aren't Project HAMMER and Day of Disaster launch titles?

They are still TBA. Although Project Hammer is saying Q4 2006.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #5 on:** August 04, 2006, 02:06:24 PM »

I would not count on Day of Disaster for a launch title, all they showed was a teaser video which leads me to believe it wasn't in presentable form at E3. If that was the case I think they will release later on, which would be a smart so it doesn't get lost at launch. From the looks of the teaser and reading info about the game, I think this is one Nintendo wants to be high quality and hopefully turn into a series of games.

Has Wii Motor Sports Airplane been confirmed for launch?

EasyCure · « **Reply #7 on:** August 04, 2006, 03:58:37 PM »

i dont think so but IGN is reporting a rumour about a Super Mario Strikers sequel, for Wii, to be shown at that german game thingy

stevey · « **Reply #8 on:** August 04, 2006, 04:36:22 PM »

Super Mario Galaxys was confirmed as launch game after E3 by Miyamoto, and I think sonic wii was too but can't remember if that was ever confirmed.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #9 on:** August 04, 2006, 08:04:05 PM »

Miyamoto said they'd like to have Mario Galaxy ready by launch but he wouldn't promise it. So until more is said I wouldn't count on Mario Galaxy at launch.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #10 on:** August 04, 2006, 08:06:30 PM »

I thought it would be interesting to compare this potential launch list with Xbox 360. So here are the 360 launch games:

# Amped 3 (2K Sports)
# Call of Duty 2 (Activision Inc.)
# Condemned: Criminal Origins (SEGA Corp.)
# FIFA Soccer 06 Road to 2006 FIFA World Cup (Electronic Arts Inc.)
# GUN (Activision)
# Kameo: Elements of Power (Microsoft Game Studios and Rare Ltd.)
# Madden NFL 06 (Electronic Arts)
# NBA 2K6 (2K Sports)
# NBA LIVE 06 (Electronic Arts)
# Need for Speed Most Wanted (Electronic Arts)
# NHL 2K6 (2K Sports)
# Perfect Dark Zero (Microsoft Game Studios and Rare Ltd.)
# Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie (Ubisoft)
# Project Gotham Racing 3 (Microsoft Game Studios and Bizarre Creations Ltd.)
# Quake 4 (id Software and Activision)
# Ridge Racer 6 (Namco Ltd.)
# Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06 (Electronic Arts)
# Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (Activision)

Launch Window, Mario Galaxy is aimed to be released b4 Christmas, in the Wii's "Launch Window".

Ceric · « **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2006, 08:30:50 PM »

I thought he said it might be next year.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 04, 2006, 08:37:34 PM »

It might be released next year but he wanted to have it released for launch, so that means he was atleast aiming for the launch window.
And what better Blockbuster selling game do you need than Mario for Christmas? If Mario can't sell atleast 1 million Wii's in December alone, then no one can.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2006, 09:20:02 PM »

I personally hope Mario Galaxy doesn't release before Christmas, there are already a ton of potentially great games coming out at launch or around it, I think Mario Galaxy would be alittle too much. It would be cool if they delayed it and spent that time perfecting it! It is my hope that Nintendo has learned a bit from 360's launch which honestly had a good launch lineup, but that was it for quite awhile. With the Wii I think it would be best to spread out games like Disaster, Mario Galaxy, Smash Brothers Brawl and whatever other games they have up their sleeves over the 2007 year.

VGrevolution: no thank you
Finish galaxy and make a new game, dont need dry spells like gamecube

ShyGuy · « **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2006, 11:54:50 PM »

Hmm interesting comparison to the 360 launch... Kameo and PDZ were hyped but fell flat, and COD2, yet another ww2 fps port was the top seller. Only game I've tried out of those that I liked was Condemned.

Is there a place where we can find the launch lineup of other systems for a comparison?

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2006, 05:02:09 AM »

If Galaxy was a launch title to boot, then the launch would be overkill.

I think MG would be ideal for a middle of 2007 launch when there might be a drought.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2006, 06:57:24 AM »

If Wii is launched in October I think we have a chance to get Mario in December.

Nintendo needs an overkill launch. It needs to make a huge splash and demand to be noticed and demand attention and respect.

Personally, I think since Smash Brothers is delayed til 2007, and the Zelda game is really just a Gamecube game with new controls. Nintendo needs Mario ASAP.

2007 will have enough great Wii games coming in the future...don't worry about that.

Hocotate · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2006, 07:29:28 AM »

I agree, I think 2007 is when we'll start to see the 3rd party games really start to roll in. I do not fear a drought at all. Many 3rd parties were late jumpimng onto the Wii bandwagon, so by 2007 many of them should have some games ready.

Ceric · « **Reply #20 on:** August 05, 2006, 07:44:32 AM »

Zelda and Mario can't really coexist in a quarter. Its like setting a fire to put out a fire. I would wait on Mario.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2006, 08:48:43 AM »

Yeah but Nintendo does need a backup plan. They cant just sit back and think third parties are going to all come through for them. They have to think worst case scenario and in that case they need a big game to come out in early 2007 in case of a drought. Mario Galaxy would be the perfect game to release during that time.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 05, 2006, 09:46:35 AM »

Well wait and see what new games are revealed at GC in Leipzig then determine if they should save a game for 1st Qtr '07.

I say Zelda & MP in October
MG in December
Wii is guaranteed to be in HUGE demand all through christmas and be basically sold-out on arrival through atleast Feb.

Especially if Nintendo is to release some of the games that are rumored to be announceed in Liepzig. on the 23rd and 24th of Aug.

Donutt007 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 05, 2006, 10:21:18 AM »

And still no props for taking the time to put this list together.....sigh

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #24 on:** August 05, 2006, 10:56:03 AM »

"Pity props" for Donutt!

I personally think Mario Galaxy would be definitely overkill for launch...They should hold it for the beginning of 2007, or even for the usually slow summer months...
