I dunno, I haven't seen any actual gameplay yet... just a couple trailers. We've at least seen gameplay of Mario and Metroid. You'd think if it was farther along, people would have played it by now.

As much as I don't care about Brawl, and as much as I want Mario ASAP, I kinda hope it's a Christmas season 2007 title. I'd be afraid it'd end up like Sunshine if it released during the summer (the launch seemed kinda obscure when they launched it for GameCube, although, the game itself wasn't that great either).

Well this is just great! Now my wishlist is ruined! I'll have to wait until NEXT year to get the Wii if the only game I'm going to get for it is Twilight Princess! I'm not a fan of any of those other games. I was kinda hoping Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy would be available on Launch. My parents expect me to get ONE Wii game this year (they don't seem to remember the whole "You can download retro games to the Wii!" thing...), and I REALLY don't want Twilight Princess yet... But, why is WarioWare on that list of launch titles when the next poster said that it's NOT on that list?

Actually, the latest trailer did have several gameplay segments.

Actually, let's put it just this way.

Wii comes 8th of December
Twilight Princess GC comes 8th of December too

The launch title actually means it will come before January, it says so on the finnish Nintendo site.

Super Mario Galaxy will come before January 1st
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will come before January 1st
Twilight Princess Wii will come in 2007, that is sure.

What? No...

Wii comes out on the 19th in USA, Dec 2nd in Japan, 7th in AU, 8th in Europe.

I'm pretty sure Mario Galaxy, Metrod Prime 3, and SSBB will all be sometime in 2007, with Metroid Prime 3 being early 2007.

uh... huh?

I noticed the Finnish, hence why I didn't question the Wii dates specifically, but the rest made no sense. Why would Mario and Metroid come out this year? And Zelda in 2007?

Yeah honestly I interpreted the shows I saw as "We have 37 playable games and a ton of launch titles. Also we'll be making a new SSB and Metroid and Mario and Zelda so you'll be sure to eventually want a Wii."

The launch lineup doesn't really catch my eye but I still want to get a Wii pretty fast.

Luigi's Mansion was fun the first time through, no doubt about it. There's a good nostagia factor to it now as well. However, playing through it again is just boring as shit to me.
