The launch line-up for Nintendo Wii could be one of the biggest in the history of consoles if third party publishers come through with their support.
A total of 27 games have been announced as being on schedule for Wii's launch, which is an amazing amount when you consider that GameCube launched with 12 games and Xbox 360 launched with 20.
