Today marks the 12th year anniversary of the Wii Console's launch, way back in good old November 19, 2006. And as such, I thought I would finally upload the long overdue G4TV launch special block of Attack of the Show, X-Play and Cheat! However, because this episode of Attack of the Show is significantly shorter than the 2-hour PS3 premiere episode for a few days prior, I have decided to add two bonus "Wii-centric" episodes with one from Cheat! and the other X-Play, along with a special 2-minute system launch trailer.

Featuring the following content:

Up first, a non-G4 Wii launch trailer that first premiered on MTV/MTV2 during their 2006 Gamer's Week. The two Japanese men who would travel the world stating "Wii would like to play" began slowly fading into obscurity around year or so after the system's release.

Then, Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb take a look back at the Wii's history beginning at E3 2004 to a special pre-launch event, with trailers of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Project Heroes (which would later become No More Heroes), as well as previews of Madden, Excite Truck, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Rayman Raving Rabbids and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Then, on Attack of the Show, Kevin Periera and Blair Butler, Zach Selwyn, Layla Kayleigh and Wil O'Neal bring you all the latest Wii news coverage. Plus, Adam, Morgan and Kristin Holt stop by with Geoff Keighley and Billy Berghammer corresponding remotely for a roundtable discussion.

On X-Play, Adam and Morgan give us premiere reviews of Red Steel, Excite Truck, Madden NFL 07, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Twilight Princess.

Up next on Cheat!, Kristin brings us tips, tricks and strategies for the Wii's launch titles, including Excite Truck, Red Steel, Wii Sports (Tennis), Call of Duty 3, Wii Sports (Boxing), Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, Wii Sports (Bowling), Marvel Ultimate Alliance and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

On a special BONUS Cheat! episode, Kristin returns with even more "Wiimote" content including a few new games such as Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Madden NFL 07.

Finally, on a special Valentine's Day episode of X-Play, Adam and Morgan bring you more love for your Wii with a new review of WarioWare: Smooth Moves and a look at some of the best (Bonk's Adventure, Sonic the Hedgehog, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64) and worst (Pinball, Urban Champion, Soccer, Xevious and Donkey Kong) for the Virtual Console.

NOTE: The final 2 episodes are a few frames out of sync with the audio, but not enough that it should become a distraction. It was either upload as is, or re-encode 11.11GB of data, so I went with the former. Also... this episode is blocked in Japan due to half a minute of audio. Take it up with Sony's music division.

Lick a Wii!
