Re: The Wii is Here.

goddamn, the wii needs a more mature shooter with online play! wtf CoD3 online would have been amazing

and how low have our standards gone! Battalion Wars 2!? The first one wasnt even that good, mediocre at best.

Re: The Wii is Here.

If all you wanted were LOL I KIL'd U LOL U SUX LOL HEADSHOT PWNED!!!!11111111111111 games then why didn't you get an Xbox 360? The only games on that console are first person shooters because there aren't any developers creative enough to think of anything unique nowadays.

Ever notice that M-rated shooters tend not to appear on Nintendo consoles?

Anyway, I'm glad there aren't many FPSes on Wii. It's a tired and overdone genre that only has a handful of solid titles out of thousands of games. On the other hand, Metroid Prime and Elebits managed to take the FPS genre into a whole new direction that works extremely well, so there may be hope for it.

Re: The Wii is Here.

The controls for Red Steel when I played it seemed pretty clumsy anyways, it was tough to concentrate on the awkward controls and what was happening in the game as well, but maybe that was just me.

Re: The Wii is Here.

It's already out.

Manhunt 2 was supposed to come out for the Wii, but it was going to get an AO rating. I guess it was really really bad, and almost every major chain gaming store wasn't going to sell it. It's going to cost another million dollars to alter the content so late to make it just an M game for the Wii. Nintendo is not kiddy.

Squeek: I wasn't soley referring to 3rd party developers. Where are all these awesome games from nintendo? Nintendo usually puts out great 1st party games, and I haven't found many. That is most definitely their fault, not the 3rd party developers.

Re: The Wii is Here.

The console is just over half a year old. Chill.

We already have the new WarioWare, Zelda, and Paper Mario franchise games. Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 are coming out this summer, and Brawl is set to hit by the end of the year. There are a few new franchises still in the works.

Nobody could develop for the console until the hardware was finalized due to how unique it was, so games won't start flooding the market until around the holiday season.

While I would agree with that, it still doesn't excuse Nintendo from putting out something to keep Wii people busy until the games come in. Other than what Nintendo is working on, what third-party company has produced a game that has sold well thus far?

I don't think there is.

Re: The Wii is Here.

How did Trauma Center and Rayman sell? I know they were both damn good, and Rayman apparently sold enough to warrant a Raving Rabbids 2.

Define "well".

Anyway, there are 7 games that have gone platinum in sales ( > 1m). Yes, only two of them are third-party developers. Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbids have both sold over a million copies each.

Did you expect any less? Nintendo makes solid games. That is all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games#Wii

This list is way outdated as WarioWare and Super Paper Mario are both well over 1 million at this point. I use VGCharts for my real numbers.

Oh, PS, unlike PS3 where you have to sell 500,000+ copies of your game to generate profit, Wii games need less than half of that, so pretty much every game that you can name off the top of your head that is out for Wii probably has sold enough to turn a profit.

To me, that is a good definition of "selling well".

Hrmm....

They just confirmed that Metroid Prime won't have online multiplayer. Just single-console multiplayer.

I saw one at my local Target when I was whoring myself for MapleStory and I commented.

They said they're still selling out.

ps I hardly touch my wii these days... man it's tough competing with Guitar Hero and Super Smash Bros Melee (which... technically speaking, I do play on the Wii). Also, I lost my remote and I can't turn on my TV anymore.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I sold my wii... the next day I had an email with an offer 4 times of what I sold it for, and they said they would pick up same day. *F7* (For all you maple nerds out there)
