Topic: What will be the Wii's top seller this holiday?

What will it be? Will it be a Nintendo franchise revival like Donkey Kong Country Returns or Kirby's Epic Yarn? Nintendo's new casual game Wii Party? The revival of one of the N64's top selling games ever, Goldeneye? (Possibly) Sonic's return to the top in Sonic Colors? Warren Spector's ambitious Epic Mickey? The sequel to the game that sold surprisingly huge numbers last holiday season, Just Dance 2? Something else?!?!?

My personal prediction is DKCR. First of all, it's a Nintendo game, and Nintendo games are the general top sellers on the Wii, not to mention it will have Nintendo's marketing behind it. Also, the original was the SNES's 2nd best selling game (and best selling non-bundled game) so it's obviously a big franchise. Finally, it just looks sooooo awesome!

Also, I think, providing that it's advertised well (which cannot be guaranteed with 3rd party games, but Disney certainly would have the money), that Epic Mickey could be a pretty big seller. First off, it's Mickey Mouse, so it appeals to a wide audience. 2nd off, it actually seems good. At the very least, it could become one of the Wii's top selling 3rd party games.

Just for the record your prediction doesn't mean you actually like it/think you will like it, it just means you think it will sell the most.

Unfortunately its gonna be Wii Party. Actual games that don't start with "M" and end with "ario" from current-gen Nintendo usually aren't huge sellers unless it is in the Wii series.

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

Wii Party, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Just Dance 2, or Super Mario All-Stars.

I'm back (for the moment)!

Donkey Kong is going to get it all...apparently there's reviews out already (good reviews) too, and the trailers are just awesome. Retro Studios is just awesome in general, lol.

@RandomWiiPlayer I don't know, I feel like I haven't heard much about it selling well, and it's REALLY low on Gamestop's top selling Wii games list. I'd expect Just Dance 2 to outsell Wii Party actually.

I'm predicting it'll be the Super Mario 25th Anniversery Collection. A bunch of goodies for a $30 price tag? Instant winner right there.

Don't think so.That game wasn't made to be a top seller.

PS: I think it will be New Super Mario bros Wii. At least here in Spain, there are still airing comercial ads of NSMB made by normal people in a series of events organized by Nintendo Ibérica to celebrate the 25th annyversary of Super Mario Bros..

One of these three: Wii Party, Just Dance 2 or FlingSmash (Wii Play proved a point about bundling hardware with a game).

Exactly.

Wii Party is doing great in Holland at the moment and it's the only game that have tv advertisement right now (besides Galaxy 2 and New Super Mario Bros Wii, but they had there time at the top). So this holiday it's either going to be Wii Party, Donkey Kong Country Returns or Epic Mickey. My bet is on first one, but I hope the second or third one. I'm gonna spend my money on Donkey Kong Country Returns, that's for sure.
