It's not dusty! I keep it in a box under my bed, why would I have it anywhere where it can get dust if I am not using it? =/

I'm really looking forward to Forever Blue.

Whats taking so long for MP3... it was suppose to be a LAUNCH game. Maybe, they're trying to fix the broken fps controls.

My Wii is dusty as hell, if I do turn it on its only so I can update it (hell if I know why). Looks like another generation of a Nintendo console where the only games worth owning will be made by Nintendo. At least I may finally end up owning a worthwhile game for this hunk of white plastic and electronics.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Mario Galaxy, Metroid, and Smash Bros Brawl come out in '07... that would make this fall be HUGE for Nintendo.

Hopefully some good third party games will make their way out too, though...

then wii will play in the shade!!

I bought a couple of these game games and if I must say there are a lot of games out there to be paid for. I am not sure if any of you have ever been to game stores but they have all kinds up ins. I bought Tenderman5 and JumpCross, both of which were powerhouses of exciteness. I will probably play all the games that are out but that might take a while. I will get back.

Then we will GAME IN THE SHADE!!

Oh, and my Wii is far from dusty... Super Paper Mario is a blast, I'm actually enjoying it more than I enjoyed Zelda.

sigh, why does everyone who has a wii hate it so much?

I'll gladly have one to play Trauma Center, Elebits, Excite Truck, Legend of Zelda, Warioware, SSX Blur, Godfather, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Super Paper Mario, or Sonic

Mine wouldn't be dusty if only Super Metroid were on VC.

6 out of those 13 2007 releases will be in 2008 and the other 7 in 2009.

@6 niiiiice call on that one

when are they gonna announces Sonic is in SSBB?

"sigh, why does everyone who has a wii hate it so much?"

Not everyone does. I don't hate mine.

That having been said, I am looking forward to Metroid Prime 3 and Fire Emblem 10...

...and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Mario Galaxy, and maybe even Wii Music.

Sorry, I would have been the first post on this thread but I was too busy playing The Godfather. Then I was going to come on after that, but I was too busy playing Prince of Persia. Then, after I got done playing that, a little paper plumber asked me to help him beat some Count. I couldn't resist, so posting got put off yet again. And then I was almost ready to make this post, but I was too busy playing Punch Out. And then I was like hell, they won't miss me if I play a quick game of Bonk's Revenge. And then, well, I had Starfox 64 just sitting there waiting for me, you know how it is, you can't just say "No." And then, finally, I got around to making this post. And then I forgot my whole point. Well, hopefully I'll post again soon. There's some web slinging guy coming over this Friday to show me around NYC.

@10

knew it wouldnt be long till someone got defencive and started listing games they owned for the Wii

As for me...once i beat super paper mario i've gone back to the PS3 Motorstorm and FEAR online are great fun. Good news though! I love all my consoles :3

@Intentless

haha beat ya to it!

5 of the games have Mario as main character. I wonder how much Nintendo is paying the plumber to work all those hours.

I actually had that all typed... Before the first post... Then I got stuck on a call... (I'm at work) I knew there would be at least one by the time I got off the call... Oh well...

Didn't take long for people to SOMEHOW turn this negative.

That's a great list. And if you disagree you're a cold-hearted fanboy, and ignorant at best.

"sigh, why does everyone who has a wii hate it so much?"

...PROBABLY because most of those people don't have one and may have spent, at best, a few hours with one.
This applies to 360 and PS3 haters generally, too.
YAY!

Anyway, of all those games, I'll probably buy at least 5 of them. I'm hoping Project HAMMER is as stupidly fun as it looks.

Hail the Almighty Wii! Who is like the Wii? God of all consoles past, present, and yet to come. With your Wiimote of Justice and Nunchuk of Truth, and VC of Respect you, and only you can challenge the blasphemy it is to utilize next generation equipement. Only you God Wii, can brazenly make games with their overly simplistic premise, unispiring gameplay, and overly easy difficulty under the guise of hype and make it appeal to the casual crowd; even normally hardcore gamers. I applaud your mediocrity and I pray you forgive those who indulge in heresy; those who have fornicate with Blu-Ray, Hard drives, Media Playback, Online integration, Cells, Xenons, Guide Buttons, Live Arcade games, and Sixaxis. May their souls burn in an eternal Hell. I cannot wait to join you my lord, in the neverending Kingdom of Wii. To all those that hear my call, fight back the Demons that are the Playstation and Xbox Fanboys. May they all suffer eternal punishment and feel the deathly wrath of God Wii. AHAHAHAHA!!!


Anyways thats the same damn list we've all seen before. It's all Nintendo IPs. Oh I can't wait. Looks like Gamecube all over again. Where are the third party games. I guess you don't need third party support, when the Wii is selling millions without. Talk about variety....blah.


My bad, God Wii. You are lord. I repent. I repent.

@LongshotX

So... Your only complaint is that the game has too many Nintendo games in it? Show me your PS3 lineup that can touch that, and I'll "repent" and suck the $600 golden dick you've had your mouth on for such a long time.

Otherwise, keep trollin'. Because obviously you're jealous that these games are better than what your blu ray player is getting.

Mario is all I need. People may hate me for saying this but I hope SSBM gets delayed. Why? Because I don't want to have to plunk down for 2 more controllers.

LOL ken

"$600 golden dick"

You sucking on a $250 bronze dick.

My wii isn't dusty. I had people playing wii sports and Excite Truck at a party this past weekend. I just finished Godfather: Blackhand two weeks ago (yeah, I FINISHED it). When I recover from the beat down that I got from paying my taxes, I will be working through Super Paper Mario or Spiderman 3.

Am I the only person really psyched for Battallion Wars 2?

Oh, and they delayed MP3 to add multiplayer. When they originally announced it, it was announced as a single player game, but since they delayed it, they have been totally mum about MP3 multiplayer.

@Jack

LOL yeah... alright... but it was still cheap dick! AMIRITE?!

Hmm. I'd be bored with my Wii if I wasn't having such good fun with Paper Mario. But once I'm done with that... I'll probably replay Trauma Center. And when that gets boring... I'll play Excite Truck! But that'll get tired eventually... good thing I have Godfather. But even that should get boring, so thats when I'll break out Wii Sports! But its a pack-in title, so the fun of that'll wear off... Good thing I have a bunch of VC titles to play! But I'll beat those sooner or later...

The only people complaining about a 'serious drought' are the ones who aren't looking for the good games. Believe it or not, they're there.

Still, though, a few more games wouldn't hurt... oh well. Might as well get in a few hours of Zelda before the night is over.

LongShot, that wasn't funny yesterday and it sho' ain't funny today.
I'm not saying that from, like, a fanboy point of view. I mean that from a humor point of view. You'd get booed off the stage at a Sony conference with that shit.

Anyway, in case it's too hard for you to figure out, that's just Nintendo's release list for the year (half of which will probably be delayed).


And with the exception of the power and eject buttons, my Wii is pretty dusty, too. I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't sit there and caress and pet my consoles..

Post 6 by #21 r win!

So, it looks like the Wii is going to be just like the DS in its first year. Then, once it's been out for a year, that's when the good games start pouring in and 3rd party support really takes off.

That's been my prediction since the controller was first revealed.

Then you have the spring update which comes out May 5th, and the Halo 3 Beta around May 18th, 2007. Then IPTV release with the fall 07' update, along with a price drop come Holiday 07'. So if the Wii games are going to blot out the rising sun in 07' then Xbox 360 games will probably bring about the 4 horsemen, Armageddon, and the return of Jesus Christ throughout 07 and 08. And I haven't even listed all the games. Most likely we'll see some form of these games.

Tekken 6
Some form of FF13
A Dragonball MMORPG
Marvel MMORPG
Soul Calibur
Maybe...big maybe MGS4

Why? What is it about fracking Mario, Donkey Kong that keeps people coming back for over 2 decades? Nintendo keeps pushing the same crap with a different dress and eediots keep lapping it up like it is the greatest thing.

For perspective...can you imagine the backlash Sony would get if all they kept releasing was Crash Bandicoot Racing, CB Bowling, Spyro the Dragon Party, etc. etc. What a load of crap. If Sony did what Nintendo does and not come up with new and exciting original franchises over and over, I would not have had a PS2 or a PS3. Thankfully, they have not.
Here are my opinions on the games for the WeeCube.

SSBB, never cared for fighting games, having said that, I am sure it would make a fun party game but a boring single player game.

Donkey Kong (whatever)-Complete crap.

Wee Heath-Pack I have no idea what this is.

Disaster Day of Crisis-Should be alot of fun.

MP8-10 years from no there will be a MP20 something...need I say more.

Project Hammer-No comment.

Wee Music-I do not know anything about this title, but I am sure it will prove to be fun, innovative, and interesting game that will probably be even more fun with a crowd.

SMG-Have not cared for the Plumber since the NES. Stop it Nintendo, just stop allready.

Battalion Wars-Meh

Forever Blue-No comment due to lack of knowing anything about this game.

Mario Strikers.....Wou, hooooooo, a Mario (and friends) BOWLING game. Wow, what originality Nintendo.

Metroid Prime 3-If you like FPS this should prove to be very good, maybe dare I say it online also?

Mario and Sonic Olympics-Are you kidding me?

So, out of all of these games for me I could see myself playing 2 or 3 max.

@#10
People who have Wees hate them because after the initial hype and difference in how you play the game....they realise that all they bought for $250 was an RF motion controller with 7 year old hardware.

by the way, another company who in my opinion constantly pushes the envelope with new technology AND innovation just announded the Playstation Eye.

Voice recocnition from different people in the same room at the same time. Gesture recognition w/o a wand. So, Sony now has potentially a motion and voice control interface Minority Report Style.

Just my 2 cents....take it or leave it I do not care.

Frack the Plumber.

"Mario Strikers.....Wou, hooooooo, a Mario (and friends) BOWLING game. Wow, what originality Nintendo."

It's a football/soccer game. No wonder you hate Mario, you've never even looked at more than the game titles, have you?

"Anyways thats the same damn list we've all seen before. It's all Nintendo IPs. Oh I can't wait. Looks like Gamecube all over again. Where are the third party games. I guess you don't need third party support, when the Wii is selling millions without. Talk about variety....blah."

I don't suppose the fact that this happens to be a list of games BEING DEVELOPED BY NINTENDO has anything to do with the fact that there's no third party titles there?

Functionally retarded illiterate moron for, the, win.

This is just Nintendo's release list right? because aren't we supposed to get Manhunt 2, No More Heroes and other third party stuff on the Wii this year as well?

The two things we've learned in this thread:

1.) People who don't like the Wii love talking about how much they don't like it.

2.) The 360 has a crapton of shooters, sequels and EA sports games coming to it.

Also, we can pay over $700 to wave our hands around at a gimmicky system with tacked on motion controls, courtesy of Sony. (Man, it feels good to troll some days...)

Anyway, I really can't wait for the rest of the 2007 Wii lineup. I also can't wait to see what EA does with Wii controls on NBA Live.

@34

You are right. My bad.
However, does it REALLY matter? It is still yet another Mario GAME.

That is my main point, how many Mario games do you guys want? How many?

Maybe you should go ask Bubba from Forrest Gump about Shrimp. Because all you want is Shrimp.
Shrimp Pie
Shrimp kabobs
Shrimp Stew
Shrimp and Pataters
Shrimp on a Stick
Baked Shrimp
Fried Shrimp
Boiled Shrimp
Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp Salad
and on and on and on and on and on and on....
Do you see my point?
Do you?

Yes, this is just Nintendo's list, they can't very well announce release dates for games that are not theirs. As for Japan (which this list is for) they are also supposed to see a number of third party games this year like Dragon Quest Swords and a Gundam game.

@LongshotX

Okay. So now that you've listed every single game speculated to come out. I believe the list Nintendo released was for games just for the Wii, no multiplatform..

So lets go through your list and put up the ones that are on JUST one console (you seem to have listed ps3 and 360... when I said ps3, but okay)

(Hard to do at work if every gaming site is blocked but here's my half ass attempt at CONSOLE specific ps3/360 games)

Battlefield: Bad Company
Blue Dragon
Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway
Fable 2
Forza Motorsport 2
GTR Racing
Halo 3(But going to PC as well.. but I'll give you this one)
Kane & Lynch (Never heard of it, not sure if it's multi-console)
Shadowrun (PC as well, but being nice and giving it to you)
Fatal Inertia(Never heard of it)

Did you really put Castle Crashers on that list? Isn't that an XBLA game? -1 point

So... you have maybe 3 games on there that are console specific. Please... give me a better list. And don't give me any of this "Some sort of MMORPG" crap. I want facts and release dates.

Some of those games are even coming to the Wii.

"The 360 has a crapton of shooters, sequels and EA sports games coming to it."

I would "GLADLY" pick Turok over any Nintendo game.
I would "GLADLY" pick Mass Effect over any Nintendo game.
I would "GLADLY" pick Eternal Sonata over any Nintendo game.
I would "GLADLY" pick Halo 3 over Metriod 3.
I would "GLADLY" pick RE5 over RE4 remake.
I would "GLADLY" pick Dirt over Mariocart.
I would "GLADLY" pick Bioshock over Cooking Mama.

"For perspective...can you imagine the backlash Sony would get if all they kept releasing was Crash Bandicoot Racing, CB Bowling, Spyro the Dragon Party, etc. etc."

I'm sorry...how many Ratchet and Clank/Jak & Daxter games are there, now? 5 or 6 entires each? How old are those franchises? 6 years old, maybe?

"Voice recocnition from different people in the same room at the same time. Gesture recognition w/o a wand. So, Sony now has potentially a motion and voice control interface Minority Report Style."

LAWLZ.
They said that about the EyeToy, too. Enjoy your web cam when it comes out, though.
...Jesus Christ, you're dumb.

As long as I enjoy shrimp, I shall enjoy Mario.

Though I understand if you are naturally allergic to Mario, Jebus Christ.

And, noted above, they are all made by Nintendo. No 3rd party games announced.

longshotx is right. this list is terrible! why is there no 3rd party games listed!? certainly it cant be because this is a list of NINTENDO created/published games! of course not! This list of nintendo published games doesnt have any non nintendo published games, thus there are no 3rd party games coming out this year! It makes perfect sense! I am going to be like LongShotX and complain about systems that I don't have instead of acknowledging that all of the consoles have fun games! And when a shitty game comes out for Wii, i will use that single game as proof that EVERY game for wii is terrible, but when a great PS3 game comes out, I will use that as proof that EVERY ps3 game is fantastic! We all know that one game is proof of every other, right? What do you mean Genji was bad? don't you know, PS3 has RESISTANCE, which is great, which means GENJI IS GREAT TOO! Man I remember playing PS2, I wasnt going to buy Barbie Horse Adventures because I assumed it wouldn't be any good, but PS2 had God of War, which was good, so of course Barbie Horse Adventures must be fantastic, too!

I sure am smart, like LongShotX. I can whine like a baby about how one piece of plastic and metal is better than another piece of plastic and metal! Everyone must know that since LongShotX doesn't enjoy Wii, Wii is a terrible console. PS3 is the only thing that matters, because thats the one that LongShotX bought! Noone is actually having fun with Wii, everyone is only allowed to have fun with PS3. LongShotX said so. Stop fooling yourselves, Wii owners! Don't you know that Wii is terrible because it only cost $250 instead of $600? Don't you know that Wii games can not be fun because they are not as technically powerful as PS3 games? Wii is GARBAGE! PS3 is all there is! LongShotX told me! I would assume everyone would realize this by now, seeing as LongShotX says the same exact thing in every single thread about the Wii on this website. It never gets old! LongShotX knows what he is talking about. Stop having fun with Wii games, LongshotX says the games cannot be fun. Just stop and play the console that LongShotX prefers instead. When will everyone realize that PS3 is over double the price of Wii, thus PS3 is over double the fun of Wii?

@Jack

C'mon man, Turok? When is the last time Turok was made into a good game? Turok 2 for the N64?

Dirt over Mariokart?? Do you have NO friends? Mariokart is a blast with a bunch of friends over.

C'mon man, I expect you to troll... but don't go overboard with it. ;)

sony....pushing the envelope...ahahaahahahahaahahaahahaha....more like ripping it off or slighty altering it...and to be clear, so far my wii hasn't been used for more than 2 hours total and I bought it in Jan, and all those games wanna be wii owners listed off that they're playing are crap...sonic--crap, trauma center--nice DS rehash, cooking mama-again with the rehash, PoP-rehash, etc etc...the only thing worth playing is Zelda and I haven't touched it, and "meh" to VC

Jack of no Trades will surely and gladly enjoy MARIO Eggs & Ham soon enough.

Here's the 3rd party lineup for Q2 of this year:

* April - Prince of Persia Rival Swords - Ubisoft
* April - Bust-A-Move Bash - Majesco
* April - Bioncle Heroes - Eidos
* May 15 - Mortal Kombat: Armageddon - Midway
* May - Tamagotchi Party On - Namco Bandai
* May - Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - Disney Interactive
* May - Escape from Bug Island - Eidos
* May - Spider-Man The Movie 3 - Activision
* June - Cosmic Family - Ubisoft
* Spring - Heatseeker - Codemasters
* Q2 - Legend of the Dragon - American Game Factory
* Summer - Shrek the Third - Activision
* Summer - Transformers the Game - Activision

Looks pretty weak to me. Should pick up at the end of the year if my prediction is right.
