Nielsen has conducted a new study to determine the most-anticipated titles on the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. GameSpot reports that the rankings are “the result of the firm combining eight ‘key consumer metrics’ like awareness and purchase interest into a total rank, and then comparing it to scores for previously released games on the same platform.”

Titles announced before March 23 were eligible to appear on the list. Additionally, the games must be planned for launch between April and December.

You can find a listing of the most-anticipated Wii releases below. Head on over to our sister site for the PS3/360 rankings.

Madden NFL 13 – 96 percent
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two – 94 percent
Battleship – 86 percent
Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes – 82 percent
The Amazing Spider-Man – 82 percent
Men in Black – 81 percent
The Last Story – 64 percent
Xenoblade Chronicles – 50 percent

And with that, the trifecta of Wii RPGs is complete.

That’s probably even less than a glimpse. The camera is placed preeeeeetty far away. I’m sure Renegade Kid will give us a trailer soon enough though.

Unfortunately, there were no Nintendo games at this year’s Captivate. Nothing for 3DS, and nothing for Wii. Well, no one thought there would be a new Wii announcement, but I digress.

The only news from the press event? Resident Evil 6 isn’t coming to Wii U. At least for now.

I’m sure Capcom will have something to show for Wii U at E3, so there’s that. I have no idea what the status of Monster Hunter Tri G is overseas, though…

Resident Evil 6 isn’t coming to Wii U. For now, at least.

Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi told IGN that the game “will not be available at this time on the Wii U.”

He said:

“Unfortunately, RE6 will not be available at this time on the Wii U. Right now we’re concentrating on the PlayStation 3 version, 360 version and the PC version of the game.”

Kobayashi didn’t rule out a Wii U version completely. Technically we could still see the game on the platform at some point…
