Wii will boast 27 titles at launch
More on the Wii Launch details:
Nintendo's Wii looks set to launch with no fewer than 27 games on day one. We always said that, with blockbusting exclusives of the calibre of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime: Corruption, and Wii Sports, Ubisoft's Red Steel and Konami's bizarre Elebits, the Wii would sport the best launch line-up of any console ever, in terms of quality. And now it seems that the quantity is there, too.
According to our sources, the Wii's launch line-up will consist of the above mentioned, plus the following titles: Activision's Call of Duty 3, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam; Ubisoft's Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, Far Cry, GT Pro Series, Open Season and Rayman Raving Rabbids; Nintendo's Excite Truck; EA's Need for Speed: Carbon and Madden NFL 07; THQ's Avatar: The Last Airbender, Cars and Spongebob Squarepants: Creature from the Krusty Krab; Midway's Blitz: The League; Atari's Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2; Square Enix' Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers; Sega's Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz; Atlus' Trauma Centre: Second Opinion; and SNK's Metal Slug Anthology. Phew.
According to Wikipedia - yes, we know it's sometimes unreliable, but it does tend to get this sort of thing right - there are a grand total of 151 games currently in development for the Wii. The only downside is that all that waving around of the Wii-mote is likely to give us very achy wrists.
