I haven't bought an XBox360 (and it is quite likely I won't ever), and the Sony PS3 is on the "will probably not buy unless they release a Final Fantasy exclusive on the PS3" category. What I am looking forward to to is of course, the Nintendo Wii, which will be arriving in North America on November 19th, with a price of $250. Perusing Amazon's site for Nintendo Wii section yielded the following titles:
- Avatar: The Last Airbender
- Blazing Angels
- Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2
- Excite Truck
- Far Cry
- GT
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Madden NFL 07
- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
- Monster Truck
- Open Season
- Rapala Trophies
- Red Steel
- Spongebob Squarepants Creature from the Krusty Krab
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Rayman Raving Rabbids
- WarioWare: Smooth Moves
- Wii Music Orchestra
- Wii Sports
According to Japanese Magazine Famitsu, there are 16 titles available at launch from 10 publishers. One of the launch titles is Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and is priced at $6800 yen (about $60).
If Nintendo follows the same strategies here as it is planning for Japan, we'll be able to see game titles for around $50, and downloadable titles for $5-$10, and the availability of game cards (like the iTunes cards you see everywhere) which will allow purchases of downloadable games without a credit card.
