That game is going to suck. 

Okay that was blatant trolling, but if racing games are your thing, it should be fun. But Mario Kart knock-offs are everyone's cup of tea.

SMG2, MH3, and possibly RS2 for me. (I wasn't a huge fan of the first NMH, but I'd probably get the second at some point when it's cheap, same goes for fragile.)

can't wait for redsteel 2 it looks awesome!!

Not really. Game will most likely be bad, but that won't stop the fans. Somehow, someway, Koei still has a fanbase.

Super Monkey Ball: Step and Roll

Price: 50 bucks

Date: Feb. 9th America, Feb 25 Europe

Reviews: None

Why get it: Balance Board Support, keeps Wii remote and nunchuck controls open, and Same Monkey Ball Madness

Why avoid it: 2 Words: Monkey noises

Oh wow I'm going to be getting a lot of those named haha. Great early part of the year for the Wii.

Hmm Shiren the wanderer looks interesting...But its the only one.
Doomed!

Metroid: Other M and SMG2 FTW this year :D

glad to see Fragile will be released in NA!

Look, from all games showed at first post, i gotta be honest: i want em all

However, which ones should be considered AAA releases?

The kind of AAA releases that really gets some marketing effort from the publishers?

The kind of AAA releases that, if the game dosent sell, the publisher can REALLY blame it on the wii?

My guess is that only Red Steel 2 could be considered a triple A release.

It really does look great. Check the video at http://redsteelgame.uk.ubi.com/red-steel-2/

This video is some months old now, but i missed the when it came out. Gotta tell you: looks amazing

- Better graphics than most wii games check

- new technology/popular peripheral support check

- universal appeal themes (first person? Guns? Swords? Do you know anybody that dosen like that?) check

- deep, well made, fun game pending

- incisive marketing campaign pending

I really want these two last points to be checked too. Cause if they do we can REALLY give all this charade an answer: could 3rd parties really sell on the wii?
