More Wii launch games
« on: August 04, 2006, 03:34:22 AM »
Ubisoft is bringing Red Steel and Rayman on day one, but they also promise 5 more games within the first month or two (launch window):
 
Quote

Blazing Angels®: Squadrons of WW II: As a squadron leader and ace fighter pilot, leverage the Wii controller to experience intense dog fighting in the famous air battles of WW II. Air combat simulation, rating pending.
 
Far Cry®: As Jack Carver, use the Wii Remote to drive, shoot, slash, jump and climb your way through a rebel-infested tropical hell. First-person action shooter, rating pending.
 
GT Pro Series: Immerse yourself in the fast-paced action of this exclusive Wii car-racing game and take full advantage of the Wii Remote. Racing game, rating pending.
 
Open Season™: Allows gamers to relive the humor and adventure of Sony Pictures Animation’s highly anticipated, first feature-length CG animated film. Kids adventure, rating pending.
 
Monster 4X4 World Circuit: Use the Wii Remote to perform spectacular stunts, jump and race the most powerful Monster Trucks, and go head-to-head in pulse-pounding off-road competitions all over the world. Truck racing, rating pending.
 
Rayman Raving Rabbids™: Experience the return of Rayman when his world is threatened by a devastating invasion of crazed, out-of-control bunnies. Whether it be crazy Kung-Fu action or competing in the cow toss, players will use the Wii Remote in the most imaginative and innovative ways possible to defeat these whacky rabbids. Action-adventure, rating pending.
 
Red Steel™: This Wii exclusive title takes place in modern-day Japan and challenges players to master both the ancient art of the katana and the sophisticated technology of modern firearms. First-person action, rating pending.

I need to start reserving some stuff. I\'m looking to get a Wii along with WiiSports, ExciteTruck, Zelda, Sonic, Rayman, Red Steel and now maybe something else. Even Madden is kind of tempting with the kicking, snapping, passing and tackle controls. You push both hands forward to dive on a guy. Unless you\'re mm, that\'s cool. :)
 
There\'s also a Metroid game from Nintendo for kids who like that kinda thing. DragonQuest is a launch game I think, and we learned that Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is coming to Wii, PS2 and Xbox recently. That game has every character from the game\'s past. Plus a couple more. Not sure when that comes out, though.
 
I know MK sucks typically, but Goro vs Shao Kahn? Come on!
 
If GT Pro lets you hold the remote sideways in your left hand to steer and the nunchuck in your right hand to shift, I\'m there.

Pay attention, we\'ve tried to tell you time and time again, there is no Mario title.


With that said, expected release date is Oct 2. I\'ll be getting one launch day.

Zelda, Sonic, Rayman and MAYBE Metroid.

^ I don\'t think he really meant it as a question. It\'s not a classroom.

Anyway, diverse & quality third party support might not be a problem this time around. I\'m anxious to see how these games will be \'reborn\' on the Wii. Knowing Ubi, they\'ll make a decent effort at least.

I didn\'t used to think much of Ubisoft, but coming off King Kong, Beyond Good and Evil and Prince of Persia, well now you\'ve got a contender.

Show the man some respect, people!

mm: Super Mario Galaxy is supposed to be out within 6 months of launch.

As for me, I\'m definitely getting Zelda at launch. My brother and I are debating which other titles to get, but Metroid Prime 3 is a top contender... the new Rayman game is probably up there too. Wii Sports. Maybe WarioWare if that makes launch.

Red Steel is looking cool.  Just for fun:

Red Steel (Wii):



vs.

Killing Day (PS3):



Screenies are just screenies I know, but both look like a blast to play.

Both target renders. :thumb:

Anyway, Red Steel cannot be judged solely on screenshots or visual style.

If Ubi can get the player input to translated 1 on 1 into gameplay moves + solid multiplayer maps ; that might make it top GoldenEye 007 & PD imho.

Well F**K me royally.

2 problems with []2(aka wii)

720P would have been really nice(this I can live with, just barley)

The fact that they did Piss all to improve their gpu really is a major let down. Conservatively they say wii is 1.5x the power of Cube. In regards to Nintendo I don\'t expect a graphics powerhouse, but on the flip side I do expect next gen. wii other than its new control scheme is nothing but an upgraded []

The only saving grace for this system will be if Nintendo can pump out the quality AAA tittles that SONY AND M$ are lacking. New and innovative game play will be the key here. I will be sure to pick one up in the used bin as I do for most all consoles.
