So I know most of us U.Sers are hoping the U.S launch sees a few more games than the Japanese launch (is it possible we get OoT first because the English version was made first?) but just looking at the Japanese launch games here are two games (usually my launch limit) I would like to get:
1. Samurai Warriors Chronicles. I mentioned a few posts up why, but again, the action looks good and smooth, no slow-down for lots of enemies on-screen and power moves being performed.
2. Super Street Fighter IV
Not only the online play, but the over-the-shoulder view also intrigues me. I prefer 2D fighters to 3D ones, (as in plane of fighting, just to be perfectly clear) and this view could be the legitmate upgrade 2D fighters have been missing.
Beyond that I'm looking forward to OoT, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, Pilot Wings, and RE.
You may notice that after launch, the only 3rd party game I mentioned is RE. The perceived weakness of the launch line up could be Nintendo trying to boost up 3rd parties, as someone else mentioned somewhere else.
As I already said, the US will most likely differ from the Japanese launch (I highly doubt we'll get Professor Layton, and hopefully we get Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars) but maybe someone could do me a favor and 1. Post the Japanes game list NWR posted in here, and 2. Explain to me what Axis Tetris is. Hopefully it's a new take on TetriSphere that uses 3D shapes other than a sphere.
Edit: I meant to ask what other peoples launch buys and further 2011 purchases could be.
