Forums - Nintendo - November 13th Wii game release craze

Boogie (w/o Microphone)!! No way! Finally... I've been waiting all year for that one!

But really though, I'll be getting SMG and maybe RE:UC and Legends depending on their reviews.



Just kiss the tip.


Around the Network

Well I wouldn't be surprised if some of those games get moved back 3 weeks given the Smash Bros. delay. To be fair to 3rd parties there are only 4 or so great sales weeks before Christmas and the biggest will be the weeks before and after Thanksgiving. With Nintendo occupying both of those weeks 3rd parties didn't have many options. There are 80 or so 3rd party games coming in Nov/Dec the 3rd parties couldn't very well crowd them into the 2 or 3 not as good weeks.

This makes me wonder if the Smash Bros. delay wasn't entirely necessary but just a situation that happened to benefit Nintendo enough indirectly for it to help out 3rd parties directly.



They had better delay a few of those games...there's not much in December for NA now anyway.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I'm interested in RRR2...my sister will probably want to buy that though, so I can just steal that from her hehe.

I want RE: UC...I still don't know if it'll be worth $50 though.

Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and Geo Wars: Galaxies will probably be rentals for me. MoH:H2 looks like a good FPS...online multiplayer is a good touch...does it have split screen? And then GW:G looks like great fun, I have Geo Wars for the PC...but it only cost me $2.50...not $40. New content, multiplayer, and DS connectivity is sweet...but not sure about $40 sweet.

Obviously, Mario Galaxy is a day 1 purchase for me. The only game I'm looking forward to more this year is Crusin' obviously! The graphics are just AMAZING!

Brawl's delay left a big hole in the Wii's line-up for December...

Mario, obviously, MoH since I liked Vanguard and maybe Tomb Raider as well since it'll be cheap. I might think about RE:UC because I love light gun games, but what I've seen so far isn't knocking me out.



Current systems owned: Wii, 360. I'll get a PS3 when hell freezes over!... or when the price drops to a reasonable level. Whichever comes first.

Releasing all those games in such a short time period isn't a bad idea. It's not like movies, where they get a few weeks to make their ark and do 50% of their gross the first weekend. Nov-Jan is a high sales period, they just want to be on shelves for most of it.

If the Wii can garner more shelf space on retailers' displays then maybe it's worth it.  Maybe.



wow, i bet 3rd parties are happy brawl got delayed, it sure opens the doors for them.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

silly third parties... nintendo gave you all summer and most of autumn to reign free and you release on the same day as Super Mario Galaxy... I forsee poor sales for Jenga on Wii... lawl hehe
