Teppo Holmqvist Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 All these games were out within 4 months of the Cube launch, and they're all better than any Wii launch title, apart from maybe Zelda. Here is what was out after 4 months in Japan: Luigi's Mansion Wave Race: Blue Storm Pikmin Dairantou Smash Brothers DX Doubutsu no Mori + After that, it took two months for Doubutsu Banchou (Animal Leader) come out. Two months later, you got Doshin the Giant and NBA Courtside. Then four months after NBA Courtisde, SMS was out. All this stuff in 12 months (4 + 2 + 2 + 4), If you release console 232 days later in Europe than Japan, of course release list is going to look much better. Let's see what is out European Wii after 28.11.2007*, and then we can discuss about this again. * 232 days + 120 days (4 months).
The Bard Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Well, that would be incredibly relevant, if we were in Japan, but we're not, so it isn't.
Teppo Holmqvist Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Well, that would be incredibly relevant, if we were in Japan, but we're not, so it isn't. It is relevant because I just proved that TRUE first 12 months of Gamecube were pretty bad. Your selection was actually result of first 16 months of Cube's lifetime, so Wii is doing very well if compared to Cube. Would you have preferred that Nintendo wouldn't have done worldwide launch?
Pyxis Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Im with Bard and Zell, the Wii doesnt have any good games yet (Zelda is a GameCube port) and it isnt currently worth wasting 180 pounds on if you hate the idea of Wii Sports like I do. I was spoiled rotten when I bought my first GameCube with Rogue Leader and Resident Evil for just 159.99! (Now when I played those games for the first time, I did say wow!!!!) Wii owners are just treated to Ubisoft/EA tripe, while the 360 is getting all the decent games. I only tend to buy AAA titles aswell and dont just buy crap because its the only thing available. Unfortunately for me, I hate Microsoft.
Cube Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Well, that would be incredibly relevant, if we were in Japan, but we're not, so it isn't. So, if the Wii was released in April, with a better selecton of launch games, you wouldn't complain?
Teppo Holmqvist Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 So, if the Wii was released in April, with a better selecton of launch games, you wouldn't complain? Sheesh, trying to use logic with person whose year is only 19 days long is pretty much pointless. But anyways.... here is how launch lineup would have actually looked if Wii would have been launched April in Europe*: Call of Duty 3 Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 Driver: Paraller Lines Eledees Excite Truck Godfather: Blackhand Edition Heatseeker Kororinpa Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Mario Party 8 Medal of Honor: Vanguard Mercury Meltdown Madden 07 Metal Slug Anthology Mortal Kombat Armageddon Rayman Raving Rabbids Red Steel Sonic and the Secret Rings SSX Blur Super Paper Mario Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 Trauma Center: Under the Knife Wario Ware: Smooth Moves Wii Play And then we have actually people who can't grasp why EUR PS3's launch lineup looks so good.... * I'm only listing high profile titles
The Bard Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 So, if the Wii was released in April, with a better selecton of launch games, you wouldn't complain? Nah not really. It's not like it's doing anything. Infact, it's been sitting on it's ass since I completed Zelda. Actually, I'd love it if it had been released in April since I would have got it free for my birthday. Here is what was out after 4 months in Japan: Luigi's Mansion Wave Race: Blue Storm Pikmin Dairantou Smash Brothers DX [/i] I'd take those 4 over just Zelda.
Cube Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Nah not really. It's not like it's doing anything. Infact, it's been sitting on it's ass since I completed Zelda. Actually, I'd love it if it had been released in April since I would have got it free for my birthday. Then why not simply wait? I perfer it like this. At least so far I've been able to afford all the great titles (Zelda, Red Steel, Excite Truck and Sonic), although this month I'll have to miss out on some.
Dcubed Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Actually, the angle of your shot does affect the shot. It can also detect the height that you hit the ball and you can even put spin on the ball! Just hit it like a real racket but with the right timing, don't think of it as a remote control and the controls will work fine!

Yeah, Wii Sports Tennis isn't 100% accurate but it's 99% pure undiliuted FUN. Great with friends!
Cube Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Yeah, Wii Sports Tennis isn't 100% accurate but it's 99% pure undiliuted FUN. Great with friends! Well, make it accurate, then the game will be as difficult as normal tennis. Which will take the fun away for a lot of people.
Kav Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Actually, the angle of your shot does affect the shot. It can also detect the height that you hit the ball and you can even put spin on the ball! Just hit it like a real racket but with the right timing, don't think of it as a remote control and the controls will work fine! I was reading through this thread to see if anyone had said this already... Wii Sports Tennis at first glance may seem REALLY simple, but when you learn how to slice the ball etc it becomes so much better! The array of shots you can make is much more than what I initially thought there would be!
