Nintendo Wii Rumours | Virtual Console, Excite Truck, New Games & More [news]

Leipzig already?

Not particularly interesting news...to me at least. Oh well, better than no news.

I thought Excite Truck was already confirmed to be a launch title!

When the Virtual Console launches, 20-30 games will be made available straight away

20-30 games sounds fine to me. I'll probably buy half of them

And you make the poinless post... why?

20-30 games for VC at start sounds okay, but they do need a pretty decent range of games. 20/30 does seem a Wii bit dissapointing, but a good start nontheless.

As long as there's LttP and some PC Engine shooters I'll be happy.

I thought Excite trucks was a launch game?!

One of the launch games i am looking forward to is that disater management game, havnt heard much about it though, any links would be great you guys.

i've always thought that excite truck was a launch title, well its been in my list for a day one buy. also its good to hear a few more wii games may be revealed soon as i was starting to worry about the pure lack of game info. i hope we get to see more of day of disaster.

i think the VC games, 20-30, sounds about right. you cant expect a thousand on day one it would make no sense. by limiting wats there people will be able to buy them play them and then get more. even if they released say 10 VC games a month we'll be going with content for VC for years. its a good strategy. you'd confuse people if the choice is too big. expect big names, mario, sonic, bonk, zelda, metroid etc. more niche stuff will follow later.

20-30 games on the Virtual console is about right. having a hundred or more might cause gamers to spend their money on VC games rather than new games for the Wii. Think of how many VC games a gamer can buy for $50.00. At that price a gamer will only get one new Wii game. Also gamers could play VC games until the price of the Wii games drop to 29.99 and buy them cheaply. This is all speculation of course. However, the reason may have to deal with the process of making games from Sega, Hudson, and Nintendo internet ready, meaning bandwith limits, software conversions, and other technical stuff.

What I mean is that time is being spent on developing an emulator for all the games.

yer those 20/30 vc games are bound to be the ones that everyone wants with the addition of other games to correspond with the wii version of the game being launched, old metroid games when corruption arrives perhaps?

Day of Diaster isn't a launch titles sorry dude also can't wait for it, the teaser video looked brilliant.

Nintendo hav enever stated the Excite Truck will be for launch, but it was always assumed so due to it looking like Nintendo want to cover all genres, if ET wasn't there CARS would be there whcih could be decent.

I really want a set in stone release date and launch games badly and really want to see Leon in SSBB please god he is

Not really fussed about the VC won't be getting any games on it for a while there are too many goood Wii games coming out, but you never know there could be a suprise still for the VC, namco, capcom or konami games downlaodable, who knows?

20-30 games is MORE than enough for VC at the start, considering we'll all have the likes of Zelda, Metroid Prime 3, Super Monkey Ball, Metal Slug Anthology and Elebits to play around with!

New games at Leipzig? Miyamoto's new game...or Pikmin 3 maybe?

No, wait for it...

In the Killzone vein, it'll be Pikmin 4, then Pik3 will slip under the radar and be released on GC the day before Wii launches. Typical (or at least, typical 5 years ago) Nintendo, is that

After the success of Naruto on the GC in the US, the 3rd and 4th versions from Japan will instead be put out on the Wii in the US;

this could be true!!!
