If that's the PS3's launch lineup then the Wii easily has it beat. Then again, Zelda alone can beat anything.

Well, to be fair, John Madden only does the commentary to the mayhem.

To dig deeper, the proceeds are going toward John Madden's lunch when he visits EA for the voice recordings.

Only the bold were exclusive. PS3 really has a weak lineup.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #159 on:** August 12, 2006, 07:48:56 PM »

Matt Cass hinted in the IGN Podcast that a canceled project for another platform is coming to the Wii. Let the rumors run rampant!

That would be a pretty great game actually.

Madden> I think it's safe to say we're at war! And people have guns! Guns that shoot bullets! I'm just going to take out my lightpen here and show you exactly where the guns are...

PS3's launch does look terrible, that is not one good exclusive game by a respected developer. Then again the PSone and PS2 had atrocious launches as well (at least PS2 had Tekken Tag). But this is a different situation than the other two, and it may end up hurting PS3 (even Xbox 360 had a solid launch lineup, maybe not great but it was solid), Sony no longer has the luxury of releasing first, catching early adopters who can't wait to jump into the next generation. That along with Sony's other problems this poor launch could end up haunting them later down the line as well.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #162 on:** August 13, 2006, 12:36:34 AM »

If Nintendo has a great marketing campaign for the Wii then this could be the knockout punch to Sony. Sony has a system that's way to expensive for most people and a horrible selection of games at launch. The Wii on the other hand will be very affortable and have a much larger selection with more variaty. Plus with Zelda, you have a killer app that everyone knows will be amazing and worth the purchase.

When given the choices, I dont see how anyone would choose the PS3 at launch over the Wii.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #163 on:** August 13, 2006, 01:28:45 AM »

Sony better bring an aquarium along for the ride because bluray is going for a swim once Nintendo Wii kicks it off land

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #164 on:** August 13, 2006, 03:51:54 AM »

"Fatal Inertia" could mean either "dying while bedridden" or "walked too fast into a telephone pole".

Either way, it sounds like one of those titles which they were trying far too hard to think up something that sounds edgy and ultimately came up with something that sounds idiotic.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #165 on:** August 13, 2006, 04:24:45 AM »

What will be interesting is to see the console battles in relation to the HD Movie battles. If the sales of PS3 go south at launch it could trigger movie studios switching support from Blue Ray to HD DVD...specially if HD-DVD is doing much better. (And it very well could be.)

On the other hand, if Blue-Ray does really well it could push PS3 doing well also, pushing the PS3 as the player of choice.

Bringing this back to Wii...indeed the PS3 launch is in the hands of Nintendo and Microsoft as much as Sony. If gamers see a better value or more interesting game selection in neither of those systems Sony is in trouble. Not that they won't sell out. But selling out at Christmas isn't a big deal because they will have such a low yield level. But will they continue to sell out?

I don't think so. By the time Sony has higher production units shipping regularly Wii and Microsoft should have taken off quite well and have even more fantastic games.

Ceric · « **Reply #166 on:** August 13, 2006, 05:41:56 AM »

So in summary using American Football analogies. Sony is shaping up to have a lousy first quarter and starting line-up. The 360 Extra quarter of practice really helped off getting some things worked out but is hurting from reliability of it's star player. Nintendo on the other hand is shaping up to have a first quarter that sounds to good to be true and an All-Star starting Line-up. Once everyones out in the field we'll see you can pull it off in the long game. It's pretty Clear Nintendo is going to win the launch if they don't do anything stupid, like release somewhat broken tech. Now the long game. It's to soon to tell. It will be until after next Christmas to early 2008 to make any useful speculation. To many variables at this time. Though that won't stop me par sey.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #167 on:** August 14, 2006, 04:45:20 AM »

Ceric: True. Except throw in that Nintendo is the old team the a history of glory which has lost so many times that people have forgotten those days.

And Sony is the young champions that everyone is already giving the Super Bowl to, because of their undefeated record two seasons in a row. The press has been screaming dynasty.

Though I think Sony and Nintendo will both have a great start to their season hitting every benchmark setup for themselves. It is going to be the midseason games that really develops a leader...and Sony's lineup seems to be filled with Super Stars that don't play well together.

Ceric · « **Reply #168 on:** August 14, 2006, 05:47:19 AM »

Good expansion.

Wrong.

It's Chakan for the DC which is coming to Wii...at launch.

Donutt007 · « **Reply #171 on:** August 31, 2006, 01:34:24 PM »

Updated with Gottlieb Pinball classics, The Ant Bully, The Godfather, and Leaderboard.

All three showed up on Wikipedia as either confirmed or reported.

So we'll see what happens.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #172 on:** August 31, 2006, 11:22:45 PM »

The drum game is part of Wii Music.

Also, I don't like these sites reporting "confirmed" games without any proof. At least Wikipedia requires confirmation from either Nintendo or the publisher of a game before listing it as confirmed, which means 18 games have been confirmed as launch games:

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
Call of Duty 3
Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
Far Cry
Gottlieb Pinball Classics
GT Pro Series
Leaderboard
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Metal Slug Anthology
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Monster 4x4 World Circuit
Open Season
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Red Steel
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Wii Sports

All other games have not been confirmed by Nintendo or their publisher as launch games.

You forgot Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #174 on:** September 01, 2006, 02:26:44 AM »

Leaderboard and Pinball Classics are for PAL regions only at this point in time, it's highly unlikely Leaderboard will ever get an American release, as the PS2 version didn't. Super Fruitfall may also be a PAL launch title, too. (It's just a port of a very low budget PS2 puzzle game afterall).
