Okay, so I know there are a lot of these kinds of threads already - the typical games thread with a picture and a list of Wii games coming out in '07. Well, I'm trying to make a bigger, better list. I will try to keep this updated as much as I can, and this thread will include major titles coming out in '07. There will be a lot more once I get updating and everything...
But it's not only going to have games, but other things we can expect in '07 as well. I've been hearing lots of rumors and confirmed things so I'm also creating a list of all that stuff a bit later on.
So here it is...
Wii '07
Games
Wario Ware
WarioWare is a fun, wacky, and crazy game comprised of tons of microgames. The point of the game is to be crazy and fast... that's what makes it fun. WarioWare for the wii utilizes the wiimote to do simple, quick minigames.

It seems as though, along with VC games, Nintendo will have another channel to sell original games according to Hudson Entertainment.
Many people were upset when Nintendo announced that only the white version was going to be out at launch. The black version really appealed to many, including me. Now rumors are starting that Nintendo will send out brand new colors... and maybe a lower price tag. How does $200 sound?

It seems as though, along with VC games, Nintendo will have another channel to sell original games according to Hudson Entertainment.
New Colors, New Price?"Nintendo has developed a programming system that will allow small independent developers to make games for Wii download service.
"We cannot confirm at this time in what format the new content will be delivered, but in the future there will be original games available for download through the Wii Shop."
Many people were upset when Nintendo announced that only the white version was going to be out at launch. The black version really appealed to many, including me. Now rumors are starting that Nintendo will send out brand new colors... and maybe a lower price tag. How does $200 sound?
LOTS TO BE DONE!

1/28/07 - Added 'Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers', added many 'Previews and Interviews', added a lot of videos with the MEDIA tag, added 'Distaster: Day of Crisis' and 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07'
