With the Wii on the way in only a month's time now, the official launch lineup of first and third party games is finally starting to come together, and THQ is the latest to confirm its launch roster for the Wii by announcing that four titles will be available for the console on day one. THQ's Wii launch lineup will include Cars, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Barnyard and SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab.

"Nintendo has a remarkable ability to inspire game developers to create compelling interactive experiences for their increasingly innovative game systems," said Kelly Flock, executive vice president of worldwide publishing, THQ. "As the #1 third-party publisher of software across all Nintendo gaming systems, THQ's library of popular mass-market brands aligns perfectly with Nintendo's strategy of creating fun and accessible experiences for the new Wii system."

"THQ's proven brands have long resonated with Nintendo's extremely dedicated audience," says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "Wii's potential to bring gaming to the masses using the ground-breaking Wii Remote, presents a unique opportunity for THQ. We welcome the addition of their strong lineup to the best launch library ever for a Nintendo console."

Although THQ's Wii launch titles are ports of already released current-gen games, each game promises new features that will specifically take advantage of the unique gameplay possibilities the Wii Remote brings to the table. The current-gen versions of the games in question have all been surprisingly solid, so they should definitely make for quality family-friendly Wii games to watch for on November 19th.
