[2009] - The GOLDEN YEAR of third party games - BE AMAZED

The night is always darkest before the dawn...

But I promise you...






THE DAWN IS COMING.
______________________________________________________________________

Very welly well, how are you folks. Today I was inspired enough for a new Captain Obvious thread, but it's always nice to see everything in one single thread. It gives us that warmful sensation that everything is going according to the plan.

So, you may have noticed third party games popping from nowhere lately. And all of them seem to be scheduled for next year only, late 2008 at best. Hm, Mr. Dent already took the words from my mouth, so I'll focus on listing all those third party games. Oh, no shovelware or licensed stuff. Only serious business games. And Mega Man 9 aside, it's only exclusives.

Let's get started!

OK, for starters we have the very first rays of light of the dawn. These games are coming next month as a more than copious entry before the main dish in 2009. I'm talking about...

de Blob [September 22]

Mega Man 9[any September monday]

I don't even have to introduce those games, they have been hyped left and right for some time now. The former is the next shining hope for 3D platforming, full of charismatic paint beings, the latter is the all mighty next entry in the Mega Man series, filled with oldschool looks but modern implementations such as downloadable content. You may also consider Samba de Amigo [September 23] and Tales of Symphonia 2 [November 18]. ;)

The main dish may need sometime to cook, but it will be served this year. You'll have the whole year of 2009 AD to savour it. Very well:

Little King's Story[December 15]

In the waiting for Pikmin, this will be way, way more than enough. Maybe even better? :o

Rune Factory: Frontier[Q1 2009]

It's Rune Factory and has been looking more than solid, 'nuff said.

Muramasa[TBA]

Do you know Odin Sphere? Well, you should. Its dev is making this, WiiWare only.

Fragile [TBA]

I'm not even going to talk about it to avoid unnecessary orgasms.

MadWorld[Q1 2009]

Oh, that's many people's favourite. You may want to watch the latest trailer.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers[TBA]

Don't worry, this little thing is still in production. Could make it for 2008 or 2009, TGS will tell us.

Cursed Mountain[TBA 2009]

A 140 people strong team inclusing STALKER devs making it and a promising trailer. Check.

Monster Hunter 3[TBA]

RPG, adventure, exploring and looting bonanza. And we stole it from Sony! TGS can't come soon enough.

The House of the Dead: Overkill[Q1 2009]

It's got the team, it's got the spirit, it's got the gore. The House of the Dead at its finest.

The Sky Crawlers[TBA]

Some love from the Ace Combat team. And what good looking love, blimey!

New Tales of [TBA 2009]

No pics yet, but the Wii was chosen as the platform for the next Tales of next year.

Done! There's more stuff on the way, like The Conduit, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic & the Black Knight, Arc Rise Fantasia, Deadly Creatures, Mushroom Men, but those haven't shown enough to deserve my serious business hype seal. So, there you go, above is the best of the best we know is coming to Wii - we still have to see what Factor 5, Keiji Inafune, iNiS, Yuji Naka's new team PROPE and many other devs have been cooking for the Wii.

And you know what's the best? The dessert! Once we've bought and played all those games so Nintendo can boast about how the Wii is the third parties paradise at E3 2009 press conference, we'll be ready for the best part of any meal! Nintendo's chefs are working on their finest flavours and by end 2009 and forward we should finally put our hands on Zelda, Mario, Pikmin, etc!

Nintendo never has third party games!! Hahehihahuhohohihahehehah! LULZ!

This topic just showed to you the Wii library is full of third party games ready to be awesome!

;_;

fragile is nintendo exclusive right?fyor

Of course. Also it's got Wiimote love by using the flashlight in a way some Fatal Frame game should have used...

erm hardly anything has been shown of cursed mountain, but the conduit has tonnes. yet u give hype seal to cursed mountain? what r u smoking?

I'm smoking common sense. A licensed games specialists against STALKER devs who just proved they can do more than High Voltage with Wii hardware? The winner is obvious.

Forgot the Conduit, Arc Rise of Fantasia, and I know there's even more but I can't think right now.Chojuto

I mentioned The Conduit, but so far it's looking too much of a generic fest to get actual hype - and no, I don't care if the Wii has few FPSs, I only care about quality and so far The Conduit hasn't shown incredible potential, far from it. I don't know much about ARF, I'm gonna make some research.

I would give anything for TGS to show us something on Crystal Bearers. Also, the next proper Tales game being on the Wii amazes me; but I'm not sure it will be out in 09; Vesperia is not even out in AMerica yet.roboccs

Well, it's in the linked article, the new Tales of should hit the Wii in fiscal year of 2009.

I loved the Dark Knight references lol two thumbs up for those!

MadWorld interests me the most out of all those

nice!...namco rulz!

Nice thread. Reminds me of why I love my Wii so much.Haziqonfire

Reminds me of why I love The Dark Knight so much:P

..........and the Wii

THE CONDUIT

Brilliant thread, If I were you I'd copy and paste this thread onto the system wars board just to rub it in to the Cows and Lemmingsfabz_95

I'll think about it. :P Usually I avoid SW but I feel like spreading my killing jokes. (Got it? Got it? The Killing Joke!! I'm so LULZ)

THE CONDUIT

monclo

looks bad.

Nice thread. Reminds me of why I love my Wii so much.Haziqonfire

Reminds me why I love Dark Knight so much :P.

But yeah, epic thread.

I love the Joker! The best villain ever, and I didn't need Heath Ledger to know that. :D Though personally I can't help but somehow prefer the Riddler. :o

Well The Conduit is the only sci-fi shooter for Wii that we can look forward to right now, and at least the controls are gonna be awesome.Chojuto

If you're looking for fun, this thread is at SW too now, go check. Wintry_Flutist

The only thing missing from this list is Rouge Squadron 4. I want this game announced Factor 5 :evil:JLF1

forgot so many games...

Arc Rise Fantasia, Conduit, Dead Rising, Red Steel 2, Pikmin 3 and more. So I of course I agree that 09 will kick ass and Wii will have the best Line-up. I mean, look at 360... many good games but no variety in the genre. Shooter,Shooter, West RPG, Shooter, Shooter, West RPG...

no disrespect Wintry....but isn't this the same thing as Haziq's "2008 and beyond" thread? I know this is third party only, but it's the same thing.

This thread is so awesome:)

But it is missing one thing, and that one thing is.

Beam Katanas

Now this thread is full of win:)

this topic and system wars:shock: omg its painful. its waaay too many opinions in system wars!

You know, I actually thought about writing a paragraph to justify this thread for this exact reason. But I didn't know where to put it. But here I go, it's simple: it's more about the spirit than the games. Having only the most promising ones with no shovelware, licensed and not so good games ruining the hype and some properly written descriptions is always good - and it stresses how 3rd party support has evolved.

[QUOTE="Wintry_Flutist"]If you're looking for fun, this thread is at SW too now, go check. TwilightSoilder

I didn't expect anything else, it's not like a bunch of haters will make the games bad. It's always nice to see how much response the Wii gets in SW! Remember, some men just want to watch the world burn!

A lot of those titles intrigue me. I'm definately getting the second Tales of Symphonia. Also looking forward to Arc of Fantasia, Fragile, and such! And I hope the Conduit is interesting, I like how it's going so far.

You missed some.zoocage

The not so awesome ones.

[QUOTE="zoocage"]You missed some.Wintry_Flutist

The not so awesome ones.

Arc Rise Fantasia is more than worth to be mentioned. The graphics look aweseome, though it's just 70% finished, and the team behind it is very well known ( some guys from Tales of Symphonia, and more )

Also unlike Unleashed, Sonic Black Knight could be the best 3D Sonic in a long time.

And if you mention the unknown Tales of, why not Red Steel 2 and Pikmin?

Would be cool if you add them to ;)

all you guys pestering wintry to put the conduit on the list should just shut up...the conduit looks like another generic shooter, with lakluster graphics....

FROM THE FIRST DAY I SAW THE CONDUIT, i said it was gonna be bad, and look horrible...but no one listened....everyone kept bashing me...and now slowly ppl are opening their eyes to reality....wintry was the only guy who supported me.....so dont try to force him to add the conduit, cos he wont....until unless HVS hires a good art director, a good level designer, a good character designer, better looking textures, more innovative guns, not so generic presentation, and much much much much much more....and that day will never come.....

i said it b4 and ill say it again...HVS only hyped up the graphics, so naive wii owners would be taken in by the hype, and would buy the game...trust me, you dont want to waste ur money on this.....unless you want to waste it, ofcourse

gotcha...no disrespect intended.

For those asking for ARF, I really want to put it there, but we have info on story only... Sorry, it will have to wait until TGS.
