What Wii Games Do You Own?

[Snoopdogga]

You guys wouldn't understand where Darth is coming from.

 

[Tennis=Life]

I swear to God some gamers are so unappreciative of games, always demanding innovation in a non broken system, and a lot of the time denouncing a game they adored a month ago.

I am in the minority of gamers I guess. I have extreme patience and enjoy taking my time.

I'm demanding NO MORE innovation.

 

[Bulerias]

Take risks? I work my butt off to make money at a crappy job. Why would I take a risk, sacrificing 6 hours of hard work for a video game that may end up being a piece of trash, like TP? I used to buy more games than I do now, because the overall quality of games has dropped so much. I've always loved the Metroid series, for example. But, I didn't like the Prime games as much as the classic Metroids. Well, Prime 3 came out, and I was weary, but ended up getting it over winter break... and it wasn't even Metroid. I think I played it an hour before I gave up on it.

Video games are not supposed to take 10 hours to get into, or be impossible to beat, or be awkward to control... they have one sole purpose - to be FUN.

So far, on Wii, the only games that have truly been fun for me are Galaxy and Wii Sports. I love GH and GHII, so I'm sure GHIII would be fun, but that costs way too much for a video game - no game is worth $90, period. And, if the Metroid I've always loved isn't that good, I don't know what is. I've pretty much lost faith in Nintendo being able to create a fun 1st party game, since they're only worried about making an epic story or some crap for hardcore fans, and could care less about the game being fun for people who have a life and can't play the game for 50 hours in a week. As for 3rd party games, although there are a lot more on the Wii than the Cube, most are not the same games coming out for 360 and PS3... most are just "cheap ripoffs" of 360/PS3 games... or just not worth buying at all.

No, I haven;t bought Zack & Wiki yet, but in all honesty, is a point and click game worth $40? No. I don't care how awesome it is... when it goes down to $15-20, maybe I'll reconsider.

...Woah. Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

The Nintendo of today IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE. Most of their games DON'T have an epic story, and are instead pick-up-and-play... "fun".

I don't care for those games, and instead opt for the demanding games, even if it takes me a year to finish them. I'm not going to waste my time on Wii Sports and Wii Fit...

Then why haven't I been having fun with any Wii games? And Darth was arguing that very little good games for the Wii have been released as of late, lets see your list with ONLY Wii games.

Super Mario Galaxy
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Zack & Wiki
Metroid Prime 3
Guitar Hero III

Hmm.... Why thats not very many at all.

How about we look at my holiday buyer's guide...

Then what the hell do you want? You said online multi is good... guess what? That's also innovation. You just have no idea what you're talking about... grasping at straws can't make you a decent argument.

You might as well add No More Heroes which is coming out THIS MONTH. How many of those games do you have?

 

[Bulerias]

de Blob, though it has a stupid name, also looks intriguing. Sorta like Katamari Damacy... I love those sort of games.

 

[Propaganda Man]

In the next couple of months I'm probably going to get Super Paper Mario and Brawl. I'm going to rent No More Heroes to see if I like it.

What about Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It comes out in February.

I didn't mention it because I want to get No More Heroes out there. Right now its being pushed aside for Brawl. No More Heroes was originally for February. I think they moved it up to get away from Brawl.

 

[Snoopdogga]

In the next couple of months I'm probably going to get Super Paper Mario and Brawl. I'm going to rent No More Heroes to see if I like it.

Super Paper Mario is an awesome game.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl looks excellent.
No More Heroes looks great!

Ohh, I assume you've played THEM ALL, so you obviously know.

I played New Blood. Amazing game, though hard. It's HARDCORE, and I forgot... we're traumatizing Ninty (pun... sorta intended) for neglecting hardcore games, but when a hard game comes up...

"OMG ITS TOOOOO HARD!@!1!1"

MoH2 is amazing online... graphics leave a lot to be desired, but it's great online.

MP3 sucked? Get a clue, man.

Geo Wars on Wii is the definitive version of the game... and it's MUCH more than Retro Evolved.

Geo Wars on Wii is the definitive version of the game... and it's MUCH more than Retro Evolved.

I DO own all of them. And Trauma Center 2 is nothing compared to the first. It's like its made for two players (Which at least there is a feature for) even in Single Player mode.

MoH2 had amazing online? 'Get a clue, man' have you ever played Team Fortess 2? Counter Strike? Hell, even Halo 3 (don't say it's the same as Halo 2, because I own both, there is a huge difference)? No? Didn't think so. If by 'Amazing Online' you mean, 'It has online, which is on par with games released 4 years ago' then I guess you'd be right.

And Geo Wars on the 360 was harder, and more fun. Not a big difference, it's not really a groundbreaking game, though.

And Metroid Prime 3 did suck. The Prime games have been going downhill since Prime 1 and that wasn't even that good, the only real difference is that now you can get a wrist cramp while you play it. AWESOME! And people have been saying how amazing it is that it has VOICE ACTING! WOW! You do know that Impossible Mission for the COMMODORE 64, released in 1984 had Voice Acting, right? Yeah, *CEN-3.0-SORD*ing sweet.

Edit: Oh I forgot Battalion Wars, yeah, have you ever played *a shooter game* yeah ,more than likely it's better than Battalion Wars.

Made for two players, huh... so... just because you have nobody to play with means it's bad...? I thought co-op was a GOOD feature.

You are kidding yourself if you'll tell me it's not a huge step up for Nintendo. No friend codes, 32 players, communication... Yes, it's nothing compared to games like Halo 3 or all of those games, but you can't tell me MoH2 is bad... it's not.

Harder, and more fun...? An entirely objective statement. Retro Evolved didn't have nearly the same amount of depth as the Wii version... or heck, even the DS version.

Your opinion. Last time I checked, Metroid Prime 1 was one of the highest rated games ever... on MetaCritic, GameRankings, etc... I'll admit MP2 was horrible, but Metroid Prime 3 was, simply put, amazing. Voice acting is good, but that's not why I like it... not even close.

 

[Propaganda Man]

I doubt MP3 sucked. If you still think that then you have some sort of an agenda. There are so many bad games out there and you are lucky to be surrounded by a library of great ones.

 

[Bulerias]

@ JJ's Battalion Wars comments -- WAIT A SEC! You're not just bashing BW... you're bashing RTS games! Saying a shooter is better than an RTS game... that's, again, objective. If you don't like RTS games, that's fine. But how is it Nintendo's fault? It's your fault.

 

[Propaganda Man]

I hate it when people hate a genre and then give their opinion on it without telling anyone. People go off on Halo all the time and turns out they just don't like FPS. If you already are going to hate it before playing it don't bother talking.
