NOTE: Read or comment only if you care. …wiseguy I think I came to the conclusion not to buy a Wii at launch. 🙁 This is coming from a HUGE Nintendo fan and that's just mildly speaking. 😀 Here's my confession…. … the Wii games look fun, like WarioWare, Wii Sports, whatever but to tell you the truth, they're something I can live without. The only games I'm actually looking forward to the Wii are: (in order) 1.) Super Smash Bros. Brawl. 2.) Donkey Kong (working title) – 3.) Super Mario Galaxy 4.) Sonic and the Secret Rings 5.) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 6.) Super Swing Golf Pangya 7.) Wii Orchestra 8.) Sadness 9.) Disaster 10.) Heroes Most of those games listed above are gonna be released in 2007 or later. The other titles I was looking forward too are: Rayman Raving Rabbids: It's not a platformer! I've seen the previews. The game looks fun. The little kid with the spikey hair spinning around the controller looks like fun but it's not a platformer! Rayman 2 was one of the best platformers on the N64, why change to a party game?! Damn you Ubisoft. Red Steel: …will not have online. And I never liked First Person Shooters to begin with. I just said I liked Red Steel because it looked cool. Metroid Prime 3: …I never liked the Prime series to tell you the truth. I just said I did to win over an arguement. The Metroids on the GBA are way better IMO. There are some games people are hyping like Battalion Wars 2 or Super Mario Strikers: Charged but those games just don't catch my interest. Mario sports! C'mon! So…if I save money and not buy a Wii at lauch day, I can have enough money to buy some PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 games I'm really looking forward too. Dance Factory (PS2) Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA (PS2) The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning (PS2) Bully (PS2) Dance Dance Revolution Universe (X360) – Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PSP) Sonic the Hedgehog (X360) WWE SmackDown VS Raw 2007 (X360) …over The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess? Hell yeah. Then next year when I get a Wii with the games I want, I can buy: Resident Evil 5 (X360) Assassin's Creed (X360) Grand Theft Auto IV (X360) and possibly Banjo Kazooie 3 (X360) Then I'll buy some DS games I want here and there like Elite Beat Agents, Yoshi's Island 2, and Pokemon Pearl Then for Christmas of '07 I can get a PlsyStation 3 with Eight Days, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots And I don't have to worry about allowance because I'll have a job! 😀 2007 is gonna f**kin' rock!
