Wii games, any decent ones out there?

[fen_boy]

I think the Wii is in for a good year, plenty of AAA titles finally coming out for the system as developers last year decided the Wii's lifetime will quite easily compare with the 360 and PS3. So we should finally get some really good 3rd party titles.

House of the dead & deadly creatures which have already been released.

MadWorld has no UK date yet, but is out on March in the US and looks like a true gore fest, specially written for Wii with crazy two colour tone graphics. (check it out, it will all make sense) Then there's: Dead Rising, Muramassa, Sonic & The Black Knight, Call OF Duty Modern Warfare 2, The Conduit, (superb looking sci fi FPS) Red Steel 2 which rumours sound like will use Wii Motion plus for the sword fighting bits. Sin & Punishment 2, EA Sports Tennis (again probably use wii motion plus so should be pretty good.) Hopefulyl Pro Evo 2009 will be even better than the 08 game, which imo re-defined how footie games should be played. Punch Out (remember the old NES version, finally getting a remake) Wii Sports Resort, which will the first title to use wii motion plus. If you like RPG's then Arc Rise Fantasia is looking great. A new Rune Factory. NO Street Fighter IV on Wii, but hopefully Ubisoft will come up trumps with their Ninja Turtles Fighter game.

Virtua Tennis has just been announced for Wii too.

e2a I'd forgotten about Punch Out, it looks really good.

That list makes me think its more dead than I originally thought.

Yeah, MadWorld looks like a great take on destructive gaming

Recently downloaded Twinstrike Operation Thunderstorm.
Quite an addictive Helecopter Shoot-em-up game.

What we really need is a Mario Kart New Tracks Package.

Dead Space: Extraction is looking pretty impressive. Same sort of vain as house of the dead: overkill.

Only because almost everything else on the Wii is either cloned from the gamecube or aimed at dribblers.

on that note, EA confirms Tiger Woods 2010 will have wii motion plus controls. 09 version on the Wii was already the best version, so expect the 360 and PS3 versions to blown out the water now. Who cares if the graphics don't look so good if the gameplay is excellent.

People who say the gameplay on the Wii is crap, just need to look a bit harder for the better quality games out there and there are plenty of them! It's problem is it's been flooded with shite too, although there's been a lot of industry bosses from the bigger studios now voicing their concerns at the smaller companies for putting out so much crap, and not only that, re badging the same software two or three times under different names.

Ironic considering that's exactly what they do themselves.

De Blob is a wickedly addictive game.

Not only kid friendly (and pretty easy for any child from 5 or so up) but you can't stop playing it!!

Good fun and nice gameplay, highly recommended!

If you have kids between 4 and 12 or so, this game is essential, basically.

Prince of Persia is better on a 360 due to the controller being better suited, but its not relevant to my original point.

The last Wii game I bothered downloading was the latest House Of The Dead game, and before that was Wii Music on it's scene release; I haven't even burned either yet nevermind played them - it says something about the state of a console's games when I've not even bothered sticking two supposedly decent titles on a blank DVD yet, while I wouldn't waste my bandwidth/a 10p DVD on 95% of their titles.

Conversely with the 360 I download maybe half the stuff that comes out, despite them taking up a more expensive dual layer DVD. And I get a bit excited when I see new scene releases up on Newsgroups/Blackcats Games - with the Wii, viewing the game titles themselves are enough to make me think "Meh"...

I know what your saying, most titles are meh!!!
If you get a couple of Verb DVD-RW's the Wii has no issues with them, so you can make a keep or dump decision with only your bandwith wasted.
House of the dead is pretty good, but not 1 for the kids due to all the motherfucker and suck my cock bitch vocals in the intro.

I'm still having great fun playing World of Goo though.
