    March 27 Disney's Meet the Robinsons Buena Vista
    March Bust-A-Move Bash Majesco

    REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ — After watching everyone from

    "Our tremendous worldwide launch shows people, from experienced players to
    non-players, are hungry for the kinds of entertainment only Wii provides,"
    says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "Wii hardware production
    continues full bore, and every week we're delivering more incredible content
    to further expand the experience."
    Casual game players who recently discovered or rediscovered the thrills of
    video games through games like Wii Sports(TM) and WarioWare(TM): Smooth Moves
    will be glad to know Wii Play, a collection of nine new games in the Wii
    Sports style, will be available Feb. 14. Wii Play includes games like
    Billiards, Fishing and Shooting Range, a target-practice game in the style of
    Nintendo's classic Duck Hunt(TM). Wii Play comes packaged with a Wii
    Remote(TM) to highlight the fun multiplayer aspects of Wii, and to provide an
    incredible value.
    Veteran gamers who spent countless hours playing through The Legend of
    Zelda(R): Twilight Princess will find new challenges by entering worlds
    populated by everyone from Tiger Woods to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, thanks
    to a deep list of new offerings from third-party publishers.
    Beyond the current library of 34 new Wii titles, the schedule for upcoming
    Wii releases includes:

    Feb. 14 Wii Play with Wii Remote Nintendo
    March 27 Disney's Meet the Robinsons Buena Vista
    March Bust-A-Move Bash Majesco
    March Prince of Persia Rival Swords Ubisoft
    March TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Ubisoft
    March Bionicle Heroes Eidos
    March Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII Ubisoft
    Q1 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 EA
    Q1 SSX Blur EA
    Q1 The Godfather Blackhand Edition EA
    Q1 Medal of Honor Vanguard EA
    Q1 Sonic and the Secret Rings Sega

    But new titles don't begin to describe the array of game action available
    on Wii. With yesterday's Virtual Console release of The Legend of Zelda: A
    Link to the Past from the NES(R), the library of downloadable Wii titles grows
    to 42. Also, next week will see the addition of an all-time favorite, Mario
    Kart 64. Nintendo will continue to make weekly announcements to update Wii
    owners about upcoming releases.
