New Wii info

IGN broke the story of Sam Fisher being Wii-bound.
Double Agent will be on Wii by this holiday season.

Damn, Ubisoft must owe Nintendo a big favor we don't know about, because their support for Wii has been quite impressive. Perhaps the Lovecraftian deity known as the Yamauchi (you know he's still the pupper master!) exerted its sorcery and is controlling the mind of Yves Gillemont, secretly whispering orders to him from darker planes of existence.
Or maybe they like Wii a lot. But I like the Yamauchi theory better.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

From 3rd parties (read: mostly Ubisoft) there's Rayman Raving Rabbids, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Tony Hawk Downhill Jam, Metal Slug Collection, Call of Duty 3, Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, etc...

Don't forget Mario Galaxy won't make lauch date. And there's also Smash Bros for 2007.

Where's Jet Set Radio, Sega!?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, Wii's launch seems to be quite solid indeed. Probably the best launch of a Nintendo console to date.
I'm getting:
- Wii console.
- Extra memory card thingy! (or maybe I'll just use Wii's internal memory, I'm cheap).
- Extra controller (as I understand it, each independent controller will be sold as nunchuk configurations, right?).
- Twilight Princess (obviously THE launch game to get).
- Metroid Prime 3 (Prime 1 is easily one of the best games the GC got in its lifetime and Prime 2 is a solid sequel, so Corruption is high on the list of my most anticipated games, even more so since this will bring conclusion to the Prime saga).
- Metal Slug Collection (6 games from one of the most badass -and funny too- series gathered on one disc? I'm in).
- Red Steel (it seems like a great test for the potential of the Wii controller, and it also looks a lot of fun).
- Splinter Cell Double Agent (I've played only the first game of the series, and only briefly, and this game seems badass enough).
- Rayman Raving Rabbids (this looks like the ideal game to be played for short periods of time, also the humor is appealing).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

We also need another Waverace. Specially if Excite Truck, Downhill Jam, GT Pro and other racing games prove that the Wiimote can do the genre justice.

Twilight Princess (still not sure which version; probably Gamecube)
Metroid Prime 3
extra controllers, probably three
memory card?
a few VC downloads

I'm not sure 350 dls is enough money for all that.

I was wondering that myself. I hope to be wrong, but somehow I get the feeling that Nintendo will only allow the use of GC memory cards to save GC games' stuff.

In any case, I guess we can start by using Wii's internal memory. The easiest solution would be the support of any USB flash drives and SD cards.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Virtual Console leak!

The ESRB proves that it's not entirely worthless.

I was speaking idiomatically.
