Wii Warm Up: Coming up next

by Jason Wishnov on Feb 8th 2007 9:00AM

Here's a simple question: with all the AAA titles (supposedly) being released in 2007, which one are you actually looking forward to the most? Super Smash Bros. Brawl will certainly be a favorite, but recent hype and an unwavering faith in Miyamoto-san make us want to experience Super Mario Galaxy just a tad bit more. Maybe you're looking for the first truly-done-right first-person shooter on the Wii, courtesy of Metroid Prime 3, or perhaps you simply desire a return to a certain blue hedgehog's former glory in Sonic and the Secret Rings. Maybe we're wrong altogether. If you could have just one of the 2k7 games, which would it be? Which title can you just not live without?

Smash Bros. definately.

Btw my Wii number is:

8272-6692-6378-5861

So add me please.

I probably wouldn't have bought the Wii in November had Super Smash Bros. Brawl not been anounced for the Wii. Probably would have gotten an Xbox 360 and gotten a Wii later.

LOL, the picture describes my feeling perfectly.

Super smash bros is on the TOP of my list this year.

what is the fascination with super smash bros? i've never understood why people are so into this game and i just wanted to know, i'm not bashing it or anything...

I change my mind frequently, but at the moment I'm most looking forward to Paper Mario. And I really want Pilot Wings on the VC.

I think it's the fact that it can be a button mashing fighting game, or a highly-skilled type of fighting game, and is awesome for multiplayer, like the Kart series. That's what I like about it.

Plus, where else can you see Mario punch Pikachu in the face? Getting all these characters together from different games is another big draw for me as well. Like Kingdom Hearts; take all these well known characters and throw them all together and usually something good will come of it.

I never thought about pilot wings on the VC. That would be ill. But staying on subject, I’m looking forward to first game with online potential: Metroid Prime 3.

Forget to mention that yes, Smash Bros Brawl is my most anticipated 2007 game. It will be the one game I buy immediately with no hesitation whatsoever.

Also, Tetris for virtual console would be nice.

I can only really enjoy ssb with friends. Given that, there's a pretty good chance I'm going to get that.
Then again, there's so much hype going on for Super Mario Galaxy I'm beginning to feel uncertain.

Lemme finish my copy of Zelda:TP and I'll get back to you.

The one game, I'm buying right off the bat, no questions asked: Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

EVERY other game, I need to know more first. Brawl, I need to know if it also has really good single player, Galaxy, I just need to know more, because I STILL have Mario 64, and Sunshine, and haven't finished those, so I may or may not get Galaxy right away. and with Metroid, if it doesn't have online multiplayer, then I'll wait until I finish Prime 2. (Which I got on day one, and still haven't beat yet...)
Even Guitar hero Wii (Which was just confirmed) I need to see what version it is, if it's GH 2ported over, I may not get it, GH1 has better songs IMO.

No doubt about it....Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007. It's a whole new game because of the controller and it comes out just in time to warm-up before The Masters.

The game on the TOP of my list is Mario Strikers: Charged. Online multiplayer and you use the remote to block hyper strikes that split into 5 balls.

Metroid. Brawl will be great. Mario will be masterful. Metroid, however, will top all but maybe Zelda in my book.

super paper mario, for the love of side scrolling platforming.

Super Paper Mario! I still have my doubts about SSB.

Another vote for Smash Bros Brawl especially if it's online.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl will most likely change my life.

I currently play Melee for at least two hours every day (living on a college campus where EVERYONE play definitely helps), and the amount of time I commit to smash will probably double once I get brawl.

I do not own a Wii, but when Metroid 3 comes out, I may get one. As it stands I don't own Metroid 2, Super Mario Sunshine, or Smash Bros.... But when those sequels start coming out, I'm all in the Wii.

Metroid Prime 3 first on the list, then Mario, maybe eventually Smash Bros (and Sonic around the same place as Smash Bros if it turns out to be good).

Chalk up another for Super Paper Mario. I only hope that it retains at least a decent of its RPG elements and has not become a straight platformer.

That's tough, MP3 looks to be pretty hot, but I could get a lot more gameplay out of SSBB...and it has Zero Suit Samus!!! just release all of them already and stop making me choose!!!

You really think Nintendo will release Smash Bros, Metroid, Pokemon AND Super Mario in the same year? You're obviously not paying attention to decades of Nintendo's strangled release schedules. Nintendo will save AT LEAST one of their "07" AAA games for Spring '08--presumably Smash Bros.

Super Mario Galaxy. A new (real) entry in the Mario series only comes around once every five years or so, and they never disappoint.
I'm really looking forward to Super Paper Mario as well.

SSX: BLUR!!!

Super Mario Galaxies hands down.

I know im gonna be the only one saying it (and im gonna be completely ignored too)...

But im looking forward to Disaster Day of Crisis.

I am looking most for SSBB. But another game I am REALLY REALLY wanting is Spore. I think both look amazeing and I can't wait to get them. I also want Halo 3. I know this is Nintendo Wii Fanboy but they are bringing back the good pistol from Halo (1). But ya I just said in order what I want the most. SSBB with online, Spore, and then Halo 3. There seems to be one more but I can't think of it. Oh well it's probably Mario or Metroid.

Super Smash Bros. most def!
Can't get enough of jigglypuff! lol yea right

Once you get around the light weight, Jigglypuff kicks ass, and Kirby even more so

But my bet is in with the others for Super Mario Strikers Charged: 'cuz 1. Its Strikers, and 2. it'll be Wii's first US Online title (most likely)

I say Strikers, BWii, and MP3 will be in Spring
Super Mario Galaxy in September
Fire Emblem in October
SSBB In November

Let's see, in order:

Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Sadness
Super Paper Mario

Smash Bros Brawl, without a doubt. Mostly because I love it, but also because my Melee disc is so, errr, "well-used" that my Wii refuses to run it (though the GC has no problem doing so...).

I guess I want the other obvious games too, but I'd probably be just as happy if I could get Paper Mario and Banjo-Kazooie on the VC.

The Atari version of E.T. on virtual console

I looking forward to Super Mario Galaxy.

The tough question is which AAA game will be delayed until 2008?

i could NOT live without brawl and sonic, i might get corruption, might not

Since Day 1, when I first got my hands on melee, I haven't stopped playing it.
And I have been looking forward for the next smash, since 2004.
I still play melee almost everyday.
Best multiplayer game EVER!
God bless nintendo.

Metroid Prime 3. If it doesn't have any online support it will be amazing. If it has WiiConnect24 support for downloadable extras it will be amazing; if it has online multiplayer (Metroid purists who don't like the idea, get with the program, deathmatches are FUN); if it doesn't have either it will be amazing. There is no way this game won't be great.

Project H.A.M.M.E.R. interests me, as does Disaster: Day of Crisis, which is an unusual Nintendo project, and the usual suspects: Brawl, Galaxy, Trauma Centre (yet to come out here in the UK). But at the moment also also really excited about Battalion Wars 2 with what will probably be the Wii's first decent online multiplayer experience.
