ok some of you know tat halo 3 is commin fallish(if not you do now) Nintendo will leave one of the big guns for it we all know but which one would you think theyd put in place....

SMG-will sell like crazy and thats no question

Metroid if they get online it could rival the Halo online(if its done right...*coughhunterscough*)

or SSBB i mean this game will sell more than both combined just becous e of the name with online it will own harder than ever before or would they save it for another big game like Gears 2(which is along way away but i doubt theyl;l keep it for gears)

then if one of those are picked where would the other 2 go?

To be honest, I'd say Nintendo would need two or three big games to take Halo 3. Halo is that big in the US. But Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers Brawl both should be enough if they can octual make it out in time.

I honestly think that we won't see Brawl until early 2008, but I think we will see Metroid before all 3 due to the fact it was a launch title, but then they needed to add something *coughonlinecough* so since Metroid was pretty much done at one point, I believe we will see that first. If we do see Mario this year it wont be till Q4 like really close to Christmas or Thanksgiving. We will definitely see Metroid this year though. I could be wrong but this is just my opinion.

I actually think Nintendo should avoid Halo month like the plague. It overshadowed MP2 so easily... In this industry, hype matters, and currently Halo is the king of hype. Don't get me wrong I think Halo system link parties are soooooooooooooooooooooo freakin' fun. But the hype exists good or not...

I don't think Nintendo can do much to compete with a game like Halo. All they can do is try and take away a bit from its overall sales. I would personally rather buy a 360 and Halo 3 than SMG, SSBB and MP3.

If nintendo was smart they would release their game a week or two before halo 3 comes out. that way for the people who dont pay attention to release dates will be like of SSBB is out not knowing about Halo 3, and then a week later they will be like crap i cant afford another game so soon. It would probably be MP3 considering that they announced they are delaying it even longer and SMG and SSBB are practically finished.

I disagree, if Ninty decided to hype one of their top guns, Halo would face some competition.  However, in the North American market alone, Halo will carry more weight vs. Japan which will be way more Ninty focused.

I think that Nintendo should avoid the Halo launch at the same time Microsoft should avoid Ninty's 3 top guns.  Blockbuster games at the same time can have one or the other be overlooked.

I agree with the poster that said they will release a game two weeks before Halo. Surely the only game that will be able to compete with a giant like Halo would be SSBB. If Nintendo released SSBB weeks before Halo, most people (including myself, would like to see what Smash Bros. on the Wii will offer.

casual gamers, which is what nintendo is focusing on this time around, know mario and metroid better than a game like halo, so even though halo is awesome and all, its not a game that is impossible to compete with. IMO

most people could tell you they know all about mario and his plumbing green bro. but i bet if you asked 10 random people(who dont look like gamers, ex. they are over 35), they would say WTF is halo.

but that just what i think. but yes halo will be something to contend with for sure. ive only played the first one but i know its a pretty good game.

Honestly, I think it would be stupid for anybody to release a game (even for the 360) right around the same time as Halo 3; except maybe GTAIV, SA actually sold better and for longer than Halo 2 (if I'm remembering correctly, which I do believe I am).

i bet nintendo will put metroid 3:coruption against halo 3.halo 3 is the only game i like from 360 but i think that metroid with a good online and if it keeps the quality of it's single player mode can make wii be a winner.

I think Nintendo have to think smart about this. Halo is gigantic and will most likely outsell any Nintendo games (sadly). I think they should release something like Metroid Prime 3 before Halo 3. Even though it's not as popular as Halo, fans of the game will flock to buy it even if they have a X360. Ahhh, that's what I think. LOL didn't really think about it.

I'm a huge fan of both games but I'm going to buy Halo 3 first unless MP3 came out during the summer months.

I'd pick Metroid, SSBB or SMG over Halo3, mainly because I own a Wii, I don't own a 360 and the Halo series isn't as great as my favorite PC FPSs (Oblivion, Prey, Condemned, Doom3, Half-life).

I dont think niether of them games can match up to halo 3 but maybe metroid can But! if you want a competition i suggest nintendo should release there new ZELDA:the kingdom of pwnage so then everyone would buy zelda and leave halo 3 in the shelves never to be picked up but only by xbox fans.
