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

So the title of this sounds like I could be making some sort of crack at how great Skyward Sword is and how it “stole” 80 hours of my life. I’m not. I’m finally, legitimately upset at Nintendo because of how they handled the development of the Wii and its basic hardware structure. It took 5 years, but one small issue on top of another small issue on top of another has finally taken it’s toll, and I’m ready to say it: The Wii is an outdated piece of crap with fantastic games.
