[Hellfire]

Sword of Legendia

Hell yeah baby

[AshMat]

POINT BLANK WII

come on Namco, you know you want to.

[solitanze]

Tales Sequel obviously wanted by many.

Other possible games that could appear on Wii include: Ridge Racer, Point Blank, Time Crisis, Donkey Konga 3 but with ULTIMATE 10/10 graphics for Wii where you can play a variety of instruments and use two Wiimotes to play drums etc, Pac Man Game, Tekken etc.

[ZeldaFreak]

tekken will never come to non sony home consoles/handhelds. We have more luck getting a soul calibur game.

Anyway does anyone have the link to the press release

[Stocka]

Tekken came to GBA.

[Emasher]

[Fierce_LiNk]

[Emasher]

[Dante]

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

Published by: Atari

Developed by: Spike

how is this Bandai-Namco :P

[TheCule]

This is massive news. Thirty over ten is a massive sign of support and commitment, though like you said, they could be Virtual Console games. As many RPG's as possible, please!

And Soul Calibur! :wink:

[solitanze]

In the process i'd like to see DECREASED support for Playstation 3 from Namco so that this will have even greater significance for Nintendo.

[The3rdChildren]

Another Tales game please, Namco. Feed me.

[ZeldaFreak]

Tekken came to GBA.

that was before the psp got releashed, seriously though we won't get one and if they talk about it sony pours a ton of mony to keep the franchise

Do you have the actual press release

[IMJ]

30 games is an awesome amount of support from Bandai-Namco. It sure is a great sign of things to come, but we shouldn't cheer just yet. Out of those 30 titles, it remains to be seen how many will be high-profile titles. I bet at least half of those will be throw-away little mini-games type of titles. Take a look at Ennichi no Tatsujin, a collection of Japanese carnival games. Not saying that's a bad thing, but we'll have to wait and see how many Tales of, Soul Caliburs etc comes out of it. Until then, enjoy the support :D

[Jamba]

Hmmmm... I dont like this that much. As ppl have said, those will mostly be VC games but on top of this I find these kind of statements almost entirely as publicity.

In short, I'll believe it when I see it B-N!

[DCK]

Considering Bandai's history, I expect a huge part of that to be downloadable :laughing: Nice marketing though.

Also, Sword of Legendia is hot.

here's a reliable source

also on gonintendo

[ZeldaFreak]

well n-e quotes gonintendo and they themselves go to a german site.

I don't belive this until I actually see a press release

[ShadowV7]

Scroll down the german site untill you see the news about the Wii getting 30 games.
Just what Dante said:

Gamefront is very reliable

[Cold Fire]

A little off topic, but whats the deal with Sony and Tekken? Has it been stated that they have an agreement in place to have Tekken only on Sony home consoles? If so, how long for?

On the above note, i cant see Tekken working with the Wiimote, i'm no massive fan of the Dual Shock but playing Tekken on anything else (other than arcade) just wont do.

[Flaight]

Is that Dragon Ball Z game the one a japanese interviewer was demonstrating on their TV, in the recent Wii & PS3 live report?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQvs20zQsx4

lol that guy does "Kamehameha" move to get a fireball, like in street fighter fireball move. I want I want :awesome: (at 4:20 in that clip)

[The Bard]

To be honest, I don't think Tekken could work on the Wii anyway, the moves are completely centered around the playstation D-pad. Nintendo D-pads just don't cut it.

[thomaschung]

Don't get too excited before the games are announced. I bet a lot of this is VC games. And then some will be Japan centric and won't come out in the West like Gundam etc.

[flameboy]

yeah whilst this is great news, in a global sense to hear big figures, i bet a small percentage of the number being touted will be fully fletched UK Wii releases. Although thats not to say we won't benefit hugely from the announcement as we are bound to see some quality come out of it.

[Nintendork]

Good for the East and Western super geeks.
I'm only interested in the unnamed titles as present. not getting my hopes up.

Aren't those Gundam games fun? I've only played Armoured Core before and loved it.
