It won't be a launch day purchase for me because I'm broke, but I definitely am getting excited.  Unfortunately there are just too many other games tying up my "spare" cash at the moment.  I think Gears of War is going to be a need now that I have a 360, and that's 60 fucking bucks right there.

Awwww. Metroid was pushed to 2007 according to Gamespot.

Oh well. Being a launch title really seemed to be pushing it anyways. I can wait.

Red Steel seems really cool to me.  It could be fucking awesome if they pull it off right.

EDIT: I just watched a video of the new Rayman game over on gamespot.  Wow.  If any game is going to do the Wiimote justice, it looks like Rayman will.  I want it.

Some guy here at work was talking about how sweet Red Steel was.  Then I saw a video.  I thought it looked incredibly stupid, especially the sword fighting parts.

Yeah, I was reading something a while ago that said that the sword fighting in Red Steel doesn't play with you freely manuvering the sword, as you'd think, but with you doing pre-set hand swipes. I've seen some stuff on it and I'm not impressed.

My god, though, Twilight Princess looks amazing.

Yeah, Red Steel didn't look that interesting to me.  But I could be wrong.  Hard to say without trying it.  But I do think it looks a bit funny.

Excite Truck looks pretty dope. The way you control it looks really fun. Might pick that up too.

I think any shooter will be a novel experience with that controller. I am just wondering if it will be a bit too easy?

I read what you posted Ghandi, and I didn't realize that.  I checked out some vids of Red Steel at gamespot and I'm kinda disappointed.  Could be good, but I'm not as interested anymore.

ExciteTruck looks really cool though, and Zelda should be awesome.

Looks like the Wii is region locked afterall. Shacknews got the word from Nintendo.
