[Flames_of_chaos]

Bandai-Namco's Vice President says they're in development. Further details explained inside.
Vice President Shin Unozawa, in a Bandai-Namco press conference, revealed that there are over 30 Wii titles in development without expressing much detail about the upcoming titles. He also mentioned a combination of 10 PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 titles that were in the works.

The Japanese developer is already pushing out titles such as Sword of Legendia, Tamagotchi, and SD Gundam: Scud Hammers for Wii.

I think this was posted somewhere else, but it deserves its own thread.. I wonder if they're including Virtual Console games.

Nam-Ban, thank you ma'am.

wait a minute out of 40 games in development 30 are for Wii only?  I dunno sounds way too freaking unbelievable.  I wonder how many are going to be crappy anime games and other licensed crap.  I'm hopin for Soul Calibur, Tales of (Insert stupid word here), Katamari, Time Crisis, and my personal fav Hello Kitty Roller Rescue....

Seriously though good news though, hope this doesn't turn out to be like i dunno the capcom 5 thing.  It would be kinda of funny though to see 30 games go multiplatform, 10 maybe, 20 doubtful, 30 yeah right.

[Athrun Zala]

probably 20 of those are Gundam games (not that I'd complain actually.....)

I sincerely hope that one of those is a Mai HiME game though (although the chances are like.....zero), and a Tales of and a Soul game is must NamcoBandai! >=|

[NWR_pap64]

I wanna see names, though.

And I still reiterate that I am surprised they took this long to announce Wii games.

Even if the games weren't going to be released till 2007 it wouldn't have killed them to show off some games during presentations and conferences (and yes, I know the bandai side has shown some games, but I want to see games from the Namco side of things).

A Mai Hime game would be awesome.
30 games almost cerainly has to include Virtual Console, but they could be new games, just simpler, along with re-releases.
But let's hope for the best.

Yeah it was mention over in the Sony Getting Hit Hard Lately thread in other systems.

30 Thats interesting.
I wonder what they are.

[Strell]

YES.

27 iterations of Digimon!

I am so there.

[ThePerm]

30 of the games they threw on ps2 that we never got, prolly with updated gfx and controls(basically new games)

[BlkPaladin]

It's more than likely that some of those game are for the Virtal Console, which isn't a bad thing since this will provide a bigger liberary for the VC and the Wii it self.  

[Smash_Brother]

20 will likely be Gundam games which will never come stateside and the other 10 will be terrible Digimon spinoffs while the PS3/360 get Tales and lightgun games.

And maybe a Chibi-Robo sequel (which will rule).

I thought Chibi Robo was Nintendos.

In Japan, Chibi Robo was developed and published by Bandai. Nintendo just released it on the US.

[Luigi Dude]

I hope this means we'll see Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension on the Virtual Console.  Unlike 98% of the the other Dragon Ball Z fighters, this one was actually really good and being able to play it with the classic controller instead of my crappy keyboard would be great since I'd be able to finally pull off most of the moves.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Nope in Japan Nintendo is the publisher of Chibi Robo also Tomy makes/publishes the Naruto games for gamecube. Bandai usually makes/publishes the one on Sony systems and UbiSoft is making a Naruto game on Xbox360.

[WuTangTurtle]

man wtf, why do so many companies have Naruto.  That can't be a good thing.  I don't like the PS2 Naruto games, the character models look weird.

Oh and Luigi Dude, im no fan of Dragon Ball Z but I use to be and Hyper Dimension was pretty good in fact.
