Emasher Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Its been a year in North America (which was the first territory to get it) since the Wii came out. So I guess its the first console to not be on general sale, a year after launch. Just though I'd point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalin Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thats 3 more than the 360 had and 4 more than the PS3 has. But there aren't any 'half decent' games to go with the four 'decent' games. It's just four decent ones (and I'm being generous there) and a vast sea of wankness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all down to you, as a gamer, to get off your arse and go play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only things the Wii is missing is a shooter to put teh h4rdcor3 to rest, and a Bioware RPG to sooze the more sentient audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Mario Galaxy Wario Ware Smooth Moves Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Excite Truck Rayman Raving Rabbids Resident Evil 4 and many more... I've highlighted the good ones, although I feel I'm being little generous with some of them. I mean, Wii SPorts is nothing more than a tech demo, is it? And a demo for some pretty disappointing tech, at that. As for Zelda, well, it's been done to death now, hasn't it? As has Metroid Prime. The only really stellar game there is Mario Galaxy. But you Nintards are quite welcome to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Wii Sports is the greatest, most accessible ingenious tech demo I've ever played then. The other consoles can only wish they had something as influential and realistic as Wii Sports. I firmly believe it is the sole reason Wii is still selling so well. Most articles in the paper or most people you speak to praise the Wii because you can use it as a racket, bat etc... dafty. I'd rather swing a remote and crack backhands across a "not bad looking" net with timing and motion than press "x" anyday. And aren't the mii characters better than a generic character in a game? Wouldn't people relate to and not feel intimidated by playing with their own character rather than steffi graff or David Beckham or (insert sports superstar here)? I firmly believe people will look back at the Wii and remember something that paved a new path and changed gaming forever. Just like the PS1 brought gaming to the "mainstream" Wii is getting into that groove and making gaming even "cooler". But not in a geeky way. Wait till wii fit hits ...

The only really stellar game there is Mario Galaxy. But you Nintards are quite welcome to disagree. TP introduced many new things to the series. Pokemon Battle Revolution was an awesome game. Not only did it have proper online battling with random people but being able to use the pointer to make selections felt extremely satisfying. Dragon blade wrath of fire was an awesome game the music was great. The control scheme was new but much better I thought than that of some other games, and the story was great for a basic hack and slash game. I haven't played wario ware but everyone seems to talk highly of it. How can you say metroid was just a sequel Excite truck was extremely satisfying, fun, fast paced and exciting. It also had an amazing control scheme, the first of its kind. Rayman was funny and was a great at parties. I though the bunnies have been the best characters in any game so far (except maybe TOS). I've never played RE4 but I though that was obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zell Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 To be honest, the only great games for the console are Mario, Metroid, Zelda and Resi. And Zelda and Resi are ports, so really it only has two games truly worthy of a purchase, unless of course you're a fan of a certain franchise. *raises shield for inevitable attack of fanboys telling me excite truck is a great game* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
