Six Wii launch titles now confirmed

[i0n]

According to the recent issue of Nintendo Power magazine (August), they have confirmed the following six titles as confirmed launch games for the Wii console:

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
Red Steel
Rayman Raving Rabbits.

It has been widely reported that the codenamed Super Mario Galaxy was never going to be a launch title so no surprises there. Im sure many more titles will be added to the list as the release dates draw nearer.

Sounds like a pretty good launch line up, especially with both MP3 and Twilight Princess. I would take a good guess that list will be a bit bigger by the Wii's release date.

We might have to wait for the release in Japan to see what possible games we can find everywhere else

I think they are really smart to have MP3 and Twilight Princess on the launch, b/c with all the "wii" name haters around i think those two games will make it known that it is no kiddy console.

They say their release date is only an estimate (and who would release a game on Xmas day anyway?). The price looks like a complete guess as well.

Can't go wrong with ign, but there still are a lot of third party and first party title launch games.
