Nintendo's Wii Will Boast 62
Titles
Within the first five
weeks of launch, Wii owners can pick from up to 62 games,
representing the most diverse, and most exciting, console
video game library available.
Licensees and developers
have lined up to support the Nintendo
Wii launch in
unprecedented numbers. Wii and its Wii Remote completely
change the way people play and experience video games by
making every motion of the controller translate into action
on the screen. All at once, Wii makes games both easier to
play and more immersive.
By year's end, Wii owners
will have 32 new titles to play, including industry
powerhouse games like The Legend of Zelda(R): Twilight
Princess, Madden NFL '07, Need for Speed: Carbon and Tony
Hawk's Downhill Jam; category-redefining adventures like Red
Steel, Elebits and Trauma Center: Second Opinion; and
Hollywood favorites like Cars, SpongeBob SquarePants:
Creature from the Krusty Krab and Avatar: The Last
Airbender. Some of these games might be familiar, but if you
haven't played them on Wii, you're only getting half the
experience.
Wii owners also will
return to their youth with 30 classic games available for
download to play on Wii's Virtual Console. These include
games for the NES(R), Super NES(R), Nintendo(R) 64, Sega
Genesis and TurboGrafx16 consoles. Players redeem Wii Points
in the Wii Shop Channel and download their games. And that's
not to mention the entire library of more than 530 Nintendo
GameCube games that can be played on the Wii console from
day one because Wii is directly backward
compatible.
"Developers worldwide have
enhanced Wii's launch library of new games with countless
new ways to play," says George Harrison, Nintendo of
America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate
communications. "Whether you pick a completely new property
or a classic franchise, the Wii experience draws you
in."
Every Wii owner starts off
with Wii Sports, which comes packed in with the console
itself. The sporting collection of bowling, tennis,
baseball, boxing and golf lets players literally swing the
Wii Remote like a bowling ball, racket, bat, boxing glove
and golf club. The games are easy for anyone to try and they
dramatically demonstrate how Wii makes video games fun for
everyone.
For avid gamers, The
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess emerges as this season's
video game masterpiece. The epic adventure lets players
swing the Wii Remote as a sword and can play in a 16:9
aspect ratio with beautiful visuals and glorious sound. Have
you ever tilted your controller while playing a driving
game, hoping in vain that extra oomph would help you land a
huge jump? Now EXCITE TRUCK translates those movements of
the Wii Remote as players hold it sideways and turn it like
a steering wheel.
