By way of the like-minded folks at Nwizard (see: they love Nintendo too!), we now have an updated list of the games that will be accompanying the Wii's launch later this year. Given all of increasing support the console is seeing, all the recent titles Ubisoft has said they're working on bringing to the Wii, as well as EA and Midway's support, we now have a list that combines the best from Nintendo with some excellent third-party titles.
A full list of launch titles are available after the break.

Remember, these are considered launch window titles, not launch day. They'll be available within the first three months of the Wii release, which means great things for Nintendo.
As of now, the only launch DAY titles confirmed by Nintendo are Wii Sports and Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess.

Wow...I was going to wait out the shortages and get a Wii after I've had some quality time with a demo unit, but with all the (theoretically) amazing games coming out near launch, I'm getting ansy...like I need to make plans to camp out. (o_O)
And this from a proud 360 owner.
For me, possible system sellers are: Twilight Princess, FF:CC, Red Steel, and Trauma Center.

LunarDuality, Wii shortages will be controled or non-existant. Rumor is Nintendo plans to have 5 million out before the end of the year (in comparison, MS just reached the 5 million mark with 360s sold). They've stepped up production in order to really capitilze on the market.
When you can't get a $600 PS3, a $250 (or less) Wii sitting on the shelf looks appealing, even if its only to tide you over until the PS3 is available.
