Nintendo Wii: U.S. launch titles; Virtual Console publishers
Nintendo, arguably out of all the consoles, is most about the games themselves.So, the confirmed launch titles are pretty important.
The big guns are there, But there are some notable ommissions, like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption isn't coming until 2007.
All in all, a solid list, with Nintendo a contender for "Best Launch Portfolio", ahead of Microsoft and Sony.
("*" = Confirmed for Nov. 19)
First-Party Games between launch and March 2007:
- Battalion Wars II
