    Which launch game(s) are you most excited about?, I'm curious as to which titles other people are getting excited about and will probably end up buying when they get their Wii. I myself can't wait for Warioware and Zelda, not being too fussed on the other games really. I've only included the big hitters in the poll above, I mean, Jesus, I can't be arsed typing in all twenty odd launch titles :p.......

    I started off my Gamecube with Smash Bros and id like to do the same here... Solid Snake better get breakin' some necks.

    So many to choose from :D

    I marked Zelda, Mario, Smash Bros. and Metroid. Defeinitly getting them. I'll 'wait and see' with Red Steel - looks good but reports didn't seem that hot. Never played a WarioWare game, concept doesn't appeal to me but you never know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,784 ✭✭✭im...LOST


    Super Smash Brothers and Zelda for me.
    Will wait and see about the rest of them but I'm sure I'll prolly end up getting Mario at some stage.

    Don't think Super Mario Galaxy will be a launch title but would get it if it was. I'll definitely be getting Metroid Prime Corruption and Zelda. Smash Bros. is a must have for multiplayer and will consider Warioware as well. I'll be waiting for reviews of red steel.

    Looking forward to some more Mario and Metroid, I'd buy those whatever Nintendo format they appeared on.
    Zelda and Wario a close second, probably wait til the pocket book gets over the Wii purchase before I cahnce those.
    Waiting to see some hands on previews of Trauma Centre, the DS one is so good that a sequel with more realistic visuals would be welcome, although the gameplay alone as it stands coupled with the new controller could make it a must buy.

    Definatly Zelda, Mario and Metroid. I've been waiting for Twilight Princess for far too long. My girlfriend would probably wet herself if a Harvest Moon title came out so I'd probably get that too, to keep her quiet of course.... not that I've ever played any of the Harvest Moon games until 4am trying to get a certain cross breed of seed...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,744 ✭✭✭deRanged


    Zelda, without a doubt.
    I'll pick up some other games too, but I'm not bothered about anything else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Smash. Metroid. Zelda.

    The holy trinity :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,180 ✭✭✭1huge1


    well ill be getting zelda for my gamecube
    so when i get the wii it will probably be both red steal and super smash bros


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭Jimi-Spandex


    I'll be getting Smash Bros, Mario, Wario, Zelda, Metroid, and Trauma Center. Maybe Red Steel, I'll wait for the reviews on that one.

    You can probably guess that I've already put money away for this launch. It's going to be pricey.

    Zelda and Metroid are reliable franchises so I'll definately be getting those. I never really got into Smash Brothers. I've played it, and it was a bit of fun, but I prefer Mario Kart or something for group games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,592 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Wario!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭i_am_dogboy


    I'll be going for zelda, because it will be the ****, and smash brothers, because I just couldn't not buy it after how unbelievably brilliant the cube version was.....after that I don't think I'll be bothering with any of the other release games.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 10,247 Mod ✭✭✭✭flogen


    SSB isn't a launch title as far as I know; however if that list represented the games available to me I'd go for it, Super Mario, Metroid, Wario, Trauma Centre... not sure about Zelda... don't know which version to go for :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 518 ✭✭✭danbhala


    it is a tough one to call! mite just get em all! pity the credit card wont let me.... :( but anyhoo, i'll be getting zelda and mario. also, even tho it isnt mentioned, maybe wii sports (if it gets good reviews) just for pure multiplayer fun!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


    I've gone for zelda, mario and red steel. I havent finished nor am I really bothered finishing metroid prime 2 so orruption probably wont be a game I'd get straight away. Had wario on the DS and got tired of it after a day and smash will be in the second wave of games, likely along with corruption.

    Wii sports too if its released at launch


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 603 ✭✭✭shatners basoon


    shíte i want them all!

    I'm hoping the Wii version will come with a 'play normal style' option, just in case the wand's not up for it.

    But unless something drastic changes my mind between now and then, I'll be going for the Wii version either way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,580 ✭✭✭✭Riesen_Meal


    When is it out? cant wait to play one, my mate played one at E3 and said it was better craic than all the next-gen consoles....

    I always will love oul Ninty, even though ive a 360 aswell, so I reckon a Wii will be mine on launch day.....

    Not arsed with the dirty fony gaystation 3......

    :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,896 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    zelda definitely. metroid yea... if i ever manage to finish 2 that is. :rolleyes: not bothered about smash bros but it wont be near launch so it wont matter. mario not bothered either. hopefully trauma center will expand on the DS version and keep the difficulty. not bothered with red steel either.

    LOZ Twilight Princess and MP Corruption :D

    Super Smash Bros Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy arent gonna be launch titles, but Mario should be out within the first 6 months accordin to Shigsy! :)

    But I'd go for every one of those if I could afford it!
