Wii launch title list is long

The Nintendo Wii is proven to have the largest list of launch titles ever seen. The Xbox 360 had 18, but the Wii has...27?

Here is the list of launch titles to date:

• Avatar: The Last Airbender (THQ)
• Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII (Ubisoft)
• Blitz: The League (Midway)
• Call of Duty 3 (Activision)
• Cars (THQ)

• Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (Square Enix)
• Elebits (Konami)
• Excite Truck (Nintendo)
• Far Cry (Ubisoft)
• GT Pro Series (Ubisoft)
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (Square Enix)
• The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Nintendo)
• Madden NFL 07 (EA)
• Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Activision)
• Metal Slug Anthology (SNK)
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Nintendo)
• Monster 4x4 World Circuit (Ubisoft)
• Need for Speed: Carbon (EA)
• Open Season (Ubisoft)
• Rayman Raving Rabbids (Ubisoft)
• Red Steel (Ubisoft)
• SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab (THQ)
• Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Sega)
• Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (Activision)
• Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Atlus)
• Wii Sports (Nintendo)

Lack of 3rd party titles? Prove it!

After the launch the titles continue to move with Super Mario Galaxy, WarioWare, Fire Emblem, Prince of Persia, Sonic and Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Hopefully what we are seeing is a great list of quality games that all utilize the new fatures of the Wii (and WiiMote), contain network play, and a laundry list of other areas that the Nintendo typically comes up dry. One thing is for certain: not all these launch titles are "kids games." So that's good.

Now lets just hope we've got many more titles in the works to keep our wallets burning through the Holiday and into Spring and Summer!
