Upcoming games

Ok, so this thread is to tell people what games you are looking forward to, to help spread the word and let people know what upcoming games might be worth checking out (instead of having a thread for each game )

without further ado, here are my anticipated games

ASH (Archaic Sealed Heat), a Japanese RPG that looks very interesting on the DS
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/yasj/system.html

Animal Crossing Wii. Its rumored to be coming out late this year, and rumored to be massively multiplayer online. I can't wait to see more about it.

Pikmin 3, I love that series, and since olimar is being included in SSB i can bet pikmin 3 is coming to the Wii. it would be awesome with the pointer.

Disaster: Day of crisis, looking good, and i love original IP's. can't wait to play this game

Final Fantasy Tactics A2, hopefully it will be closer to the original in gameplay (not as easy as FFT Advance). it's shaping up to be really good looking.

Dragon Quest IX: Protectors of the Sky for the DS. it'll be my first DQ game in a LONG time. I can't wait to play it.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals (both the DS gave and the Wii Game). I loved the original game and I'm really looking forward to this.

Mario Kart Wii (later this year, it looks amazing...)

Super smash brother Brawl (duh)

You pretty much covered all the games I'm hyped for except for one, Spore. The release date is still to be announced but I am extremely hyped for the game. One thing that surprises me, with this game being a graphical powerhouse (supposedly), is that they are making it for the Wii but not the 360 or PS3.

Well, anyway, the game basically lets you play like a god. You start out as a single-celled organism and evolve until you are controlling an entire universe. You take control of other planets visit other worlds etc...

You forgot about Resident Evil 5 and Silent Hill 5, they look awesome.

And what about Alone in the Dark? it's like a survival horror game, it looks pretty good. It's being made by Atria, and it's for 360 wii and ps3. It should be coming out later this year. http://wii.ign.com/objects/949/949110.html

Also Dark Sector looked pretty cool and so does Devil May Cry 4, even though I never played any of the other games.

Since I'm in Australia, we still haven't got Phoenix Wright 3, and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is but a distant dream. I'll just get them off eBay from the USA I suppose, but I'm still looking forward to them. I also want to see PilotWings 64 in VC.

With all the new info coming from GDC its time to BUMP this back to the world of the living!

Here's the juicy details:
- GC controller and Classic controller supported. The game will detect which controller you are using at the moment

- 12 player online racing confirmed

- Brand new channel to launch alongside the game, the Mario Kart channel, along with a form of chat:
“In addition to all this a new Wii Channel, the Mario Kart Channel, will also be launched with Mario Kart Wii. Players will be able to monitor their ranking against others with data compiled from races completed online as well as also access and share Ghost Data to download. Why not see if your friends are playing by checking their status or even better still set up a room in which you can chat to them before a race starts? Players even have the possibility to join in on their friends races in progress as a spectator and jump into the race when the next course launches. Through this channel, users will be exposed to a host of new online features allowing them to join a community of racing fans from all over the world as well as participate in special worldwide events organised by Nintendo.”

- Mii is a playable character

- New items:
Thunder cloud
POW block (from Mario Bros.)
Jumbo Mushroom (from New Super Mario Bros.)

- Europe will see Mario Kart Wii on April 11th. Still no official date for the US

The following information has been marked as RUMOR. In other words, the guy that posted this may be full of crap...
CHARACTERS:
-Not all of the drivers from previous installments will be returning from DD and MKDS. Don't expect any of the Pac-Man characters from the Arcade games.
-About 75% of the drivers are unlockables. There is a ridiculously large amount of drivers.
-Hammer Bros., Toadsworth, and Dixie Kong are new drivers.
-There will be an original character (possibly more than one) introduced in this game (similar to Toadette's introduction in DD.)
-Expect a major comeback from a past Mario character similar to Birdo in Mario Tennis as a driver (I'll keep this one a surprise.)

TRACKS:
-There will be a full track based on Luigi's Mansion and not as a battle stage.
-Rainbow Road will return in keeping with tradition of the franchise.
-There will be a new stage called Retro Raceway that pays homage to classic Mario games.
-There will be re-vamped versions of SMK and MK64 stages.
-A good number of the tracks will have more than one way to reach the finish line. Expect lots of hidden paths. There are also a lot of traditional racing tracks with no shortcuts whatsoever.
-There will be a hugely re-vamped version of Moo Moo Farm.

ITEMS:
-The Blooper item from MKDS will be brought over into MK Wii.
-There will be some items that can only be used by motorcycles and some that can only be used by traditional karts.
-The Ice Flower from Super Mario Galaxy is an item. It creates an icy trail in your path for a short amount of time that players can slip on.
-The POW Block is also an item.

OTHER:
-The Mission Mode from MKDS will make an appearance. There will also be boss fights. It will be shorter than it was in MKDS.
-Expect lots of unlockables, such as bonus music tracks for stages.
-Super Princess Peach will have some representation in the game; what exactly it is I do not know.

According to this person, the returning character is Wart from Super Mario Bros. 2 and the original characters are...get ready for this...

Wario and Waluigi's girlfriends...

Once again, this is just a rumor.
