"The Nintendo launch will also be a bit sparse with Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race: Blue Storm being the only games available the initial day, with Pikmin to follow a day later.
That has got to hurt, but if they can't get it out earlier, there's little then can do. That's a really thin launch bundle, too."

Just for the sake of clarity, those are the Nintendo first party titles only. There will be other titles available at launch.

An outdated list is available here: http://cube.ign.com/news/35616.html

A few of the titles on that list have been pushed back. Still a very slim launch though.

Maybe on the first day, but if they are promising all or most of these games by christmas ... is it really going to be so bad?
