Complete Upcoming Wii release list (First & Third Party)

maximumzero

What're you looking forward to?

If anyone can get their hands on the DS equivalent of this that'd be awesome.

Here's what I'm looking forward to:

Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil
Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
Spyborgs
Monster Hunter Tri
Astro Boy: The Video Game
Cursed Mountain
Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince
Need for Speed NITRO
Dead Space Extraction
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Star Wars Clone Wars: Republic Heroes
A Boy and His Blob
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Wii Sports Resort
Sin and Punishment 2
Metroid: Other M
Super Mario Galaxy 2
The Conduit
Let's TAP
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up
Rabbids Go Home
Red Steel 2
No More Heroes 2
Ju-On: The Grudge
Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon

And on Wiiware:
BIT.TRIP CORE
Uno
Cave Story
Super Meat Boy

That's 27 titles. (That I'm looking out for, not necessarily definite buys of course.)

Who says the Wii ain't got no games?

Xagarath

I don't suppose there's a list for europe, is there?
And everyone over there should be looking forward to Little King's Story.

UnbreakableVow

I can't think of a game I care about less than Little King's Story.

Shiren the Wanderer
Monster Hunter Tri
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Endless Ocean 2
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love
Virtua Tennis 2009 (with Motion Plus)
Uno
Cave Story
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Not all of these may be this year, but that's already certainly stronger than 2008.

Also I'm curious what will be done to Resident Evil and Zero on the Wii to differentiate them from the GC versions.

The Dude With Herpes

So Endless Ocean 2...

Was Endless Ocean good? It looked interesting just sorta...pointless.

Also why the hell is it $99.99 new on Amazon?

UnbreakableVow

It is kinda pointless, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

As for the price, no clue. I got it for $30 new at Wal-Mart.

Henroid

What's this Phantom Brave listing I see?

From what I hear pretty much nothing besides 480p support. They're pretty much the same as the Japanese releases.

Just a port, as I recall.

Your loss.
It's concievably the best game of the last couple of years.

Junior Yank

Must buy:

Tatsunoko Vs Capcom
Muramasa
Wii Sports Resort
New Super Mario Bros
Metroid: Other M
Super Mario Galaxy 2
No More Heroes 2

Probably:

Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles
Rabbids Go Home
Sin & Punishment 2

Longshots:

Monster Hunter Tri
A Boy And His Blob
Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers
Little King's Story
Shiren The Wanderer
Spyborgs
Let's Tap

And a bunch of the Wiiware looks good too. It's a good thing that my Must Buys are pretty well spread out in terms of release date.

Port/Remake for Wii.

Presumably new content.

Kuribo's Shoe

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom

New Super Mario Bros. Wii


FIN

No must buys for me 2009 (just several rentals), 2010 looks a lot better with Metroid, Galaxy 2, NMH2 and S&P2. Sakura Taisen 5 I will get on PS2 because I still haven't sorted out a HD loader for my Wii.

Jishian

Phantom Brave and Shiren in july? It's going to be a great summer to stay indoors!

Akatsuki

Lots of must buys in there for me... together with the must buys that are already out, plus other consoles... I'm truly fucked.

unknownsome1

I'm looking forward to:

The Conduit
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Tales of Monkey Island
Muramasa: Demon Blade
Cave Story
No More Heroes 2
Red Steel 2 (going to wait to see how that turns out before deciding to buy)
Metroid: The Other M
Super Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Brothers Wii

I just have to earn more cash and find more free time and I'll have no worries about getting them when they come.

Saddler

I'm not seeing Beatles Rock Band on that list.

Haikira

No More Heroes 2
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid: The Other M
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

NMH2 and SMG2 were day one already just based on the originals. Metroid M had a fantastic trailer at E3. Also i was ready to write off SH:SM, but the walkthrough videos from E3 are really impressive. It looks a lot better than homecoming.

Red Steel 2 may win me over. I've played the original at a friends house, and really didn't take to it. But 2 seems to be a sequel almost in name only.

Sorenson

What the fuck is it with kart games this year? Madagascar? My Sims? o_O

Anyway, I can't honestly say I'm looking too forward to next year. Sure there's No More Heroes 2 and the usual Nintendo smattering, and the walkthrough for Silent Hill Shattered Memories has me hyped, but the majority of the rest's lookin' like shovelware and licensing and all the usual trype.

Also, Bandai-Namco doing a Food Network game: oddball title of the year, bar none. o_O

Antihippy

Muramasa is going to sell me a wii.

Plus all those resident evil games.

Every month Mario Kart Wii is in the 10 ten best selling games in the US. Occasionally Mario Kart DS shows up years after it launched.

Saddler

The list also forgets Metroid Prime Trilogy. List is incomplete.

In fact I don't see Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings either. WTF.

Jishian

Final Fantasy: My Life as a Dark Lord is also missing from the wiiware list.

SkyEye

I've got Conduit pre-ordered. I expect to be underwhelmed by the graphical art style and story but it'll be the console shooter to beat in terms of controls.

Looking forward to Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mario Galaxy 2 and Silent Hill, and I expect the Monkey Island remake on WiiWare. They've got their episodic series, but they need the original to hammer it down.

Vyolynce

Groovin' Blocks in August? I already got that via WiiWare... like six months ago...

Out of those there are several I plan on buying.

These next two years are going to be pretty awesome for the Wii.

In fact, in just a couple of months Metroid Prime Trilogy will be mine. I want to play through the games again so badly with Wii controls.

Moioink

I recently looked into A Boy and His Blob... woah. Why isn't this game getting more hype or coverage? It looks simply enchanting.

cloudeagle

Oooooh yeah, forgot about Let's Tap. It looks cool, but there's been an odd radio silence on that game that's a little disturbing.

Brainiac 8

A boy and his blob
New Super Mario Bros Wii
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid: Other M
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Testunoko vs. Capcom
WiiSports Resort
Sin & Punishment 2
Cave Story
Super Meat Boy
Bit.Trip:Core

These are the ones that I know I'll be buying.

Monster Hunter 3
Spyborgs
Rabbids Go Home

These are probablies.

AshtonDragon

Hm, I'm not sure if I'm pleased or disappointed with this list.

I got 4 definite buys (Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Galaxy 2, FFCC Crystal Bearers, Little King's Story), and 3 "I dunno"s (Fragile, NSMB Wii, No More Heroes 2).

I'm surprised to not see My Life as a Darklord on the Wiiware list. I guess that isn't coming any time soon?

psychotix

Muramasa, no more heros, capcom vs, and sin and punishment 2... don't really care about the rest

Lunker

Man, I wish I had money to spend. I've been on severe lockdown this year, so the short list of things I might buy are Wii Sports Resort, Galaxy 2 and Tales of Monkey Island. I'm waiting to see/hear more on Metroid: Other M and New SMB Wii, but those might be buys as well.

Other stuff I'm interested in but probably won't buy just due to budgeting (though they'll make my gift lists):

- Little King Story
- Dead Space Extraction
- RE: Darkside Chronicles
- Grand Slam Tennis
- FFCC: Crystal Bearers

acidlacedpenguin

if your list doesn't start with bit.trip and end with core you all fail.

Indeed, there are some other games on the list.

MarioG

What about Fragile? That game is so mesmerizing!

maximumzero

Looks like Let's Tap is gonna be $30 at launch.

Bought'd. So Hard.

Cowbomb

The fact that I live in a time were I can look forward to 2 Metroid releases at the same time makes me weep with joy.

Antihippy

Argh, looking at more muramasa vids, and it seems that this will definitely sell me a Wii.

Also, can someone tell me about little king's story? Been interested in it for awhile now.

You know what the really sad thing is? I'm actually kinda interested in MySims Agents. A quasi-adventure game where you play a MySim in Black sounds like it could be fun.

Still want my MySims 2, though.

Imagine the gameplay of Pikmin plus the world and bosses of Zelda plus the atmosphere of Harvest Moon with a copious amount of charm and a fair bit of LSD.
It feels like a Nintendo release, in the ridiculously polished way.
Amazing game.

Nakatomi2010

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings... Honestly it looks to be one of the better Jones games, not to mention The Fate of Atlantis is unlockable in it...

Supposed to have some pretty good waggle controls... Out now...

Oh, it's out now? I'll have to look at that.

A lot of people wanted it just for Fate of Atlantis but that alone isn't even going to be enough for many...it's sort of a shame because in the last few previews it does look like a good game in its own right.
