The Wii is Here.

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.

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.

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

arent they making resident evil for Wii?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I still only have Zelda for the Wii. I've looked at all reviews of every game that has come out since (albeit I played monkey ball at a friends) and not one game has even piqued a little bit of interest in me. This is absolutely terrible, and I'm ashamed of Nintendo right now. I'll continue to wait for a game to come out that I'll buy, mainly out of loyalty to Nintendo, but they better step it up.

Yeah, because it's Nintendo's fault that games aren't coming out on their system fast enough.

They obviously don't send enough employees out to put pressure on slower third-party developers to put games out faster.

Re: The Wii is Here.

The question should be who isn't getting Brawl.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Super Paper Mario is pretty fun.

Although I was a bit put off by the lack of good platforming fun.

And I still haven't finished it yet.

Re: The Wii is Here.

btw i heard Metroid Prime 3 has no online play

The only reason the game was delayed was to incorporate online play and make sure it functions properly.

Also, where we come from, claims like yours require a documented source.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Unfortunately, it has Warioware syndrome, only allowing up to two remotes when there are 4+ player minigames.

Grr, that was the only problem I had with Warioware. I'll definitely rent it, maybe it won't be too much trouble passing it around with these games...
