The five upcoming first person shooters for Wii

Ever since Launch and shortly after that, Wii hasn't had many FPS titles. One exception was the fantastic Medal of Honor Heroes 2. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is more of a first person adventure.

So, it looks like there are five confirmed FPS coming to Wii soon. These games are:

Red Steel 2 - Supposedly, this game has been in development for a while now. The first game sold pretty well, even though it didn't get great reviews. A while back, I read that this game had been switched to another developer. Maybe the development cycle wasn't going too smoothly? Anyway, the game is still coming, and it could possibly be shown at E3. Maybe it could even be released later this year?

The Conduit - The exciting new project from High Voltage Software. The developer is pursuing a publisher, though isn't committing yet for quality control reasons. This game has gotten a lot of fans excited, myself included. It has been confirmed to have on-line multi-player, and the game is promised to have great visuals which will show what Wii can do graphically. It currently is set for a Q1 2009 release.

Call of Duty: World at War - This new WWII shooter will mostly take place in the pacific theatre, and will be the bloodiest and grittist game in the series next to Call of Duty 4. The Wii version will feature Zapper support and is also being developed by Treyarch. So, it should most likely be of good quality.

Quantum of Solace - Little is known about this game, and the Wii version. I do know that it will have missions based around the last movie Casino Royale, as well. I think that the Wii version is in development by a studio called "Beenox." Also, the game is set to use the Call of Duty 4 engine. It's set for a release later this year around the time that the movie comes out in November.

Brothers in Arms: Double Time - This is like a redesigned compilation for Wii. Recently a developer said that the game has actually been finished for a while now, and that they are just waiting to release it around the same time as the new Brothers in Arm game for the other consoles, which is in August. So, it seems that it will be coming soon. Hopefully it will have good controls.

So, all of these upcoming shooters should be pretty cool, and three of them are exclusive. What do you think?

The others, well, I don't think James Bond shooters have ever been good on a Nintendo console.Arkthemaniac

LOL?

The Conduit should be awesome. Red Steel 2 could be good if they take their time, as well. The others, well, I don't think James Bond shooters have ever been good on a Nintendo console.Arkthemaniac

joke right?:P

the conduit and RS2 have potential, the other 2 not sure

I have purchased ALL of the james bond games on PS2...(such a fan of the series that all of the games seem to be perfect= 007 fanboy):P--the new bond game and red steel 2 im anticipating.

Quantum of Solace - I think that the Wii version is in development by a studio called "Beenox."MayorJohnny

Makers of Tony Hawk 4 and Gun for the PC... and several bad movie-to-game translations. They haven't worked on a game for the Wii yet, at least according to Gamespot's game list. I'm not expecting much out of this one, though they could surprise us.

I'm looking forward to seeing if Ubisoft learned from their mistakes in Red Steel. The game had serious potential, and it may have simply suffered from a rush job to get it out for launch. The sequel should be pretty good, assuming they fix the terrible sword fights and improve the overall game engine.

The Conduit could be awesome or mediocre... We don't know enough yet. All signs point to a generic shooter, but that would be a fairly unique game on the Wii at this point, so who knows.

Call of Duty should be decent, though I've played enough of World War 2. Let's make up new wars for a change. Like alternate realities. Get creative.

Muahahaha! You all fell right into my trap!

No, but seriously, I've probably played 100+ hours of Goldeneye multiplayer, and I never even owned the cartridge. If Quantum of Solace follows in its footsteps, the that'd be awesome. Then again, it isn't being made by 90's Rare.

Aww, why'd you let up your act? We would've gotten pages of posts from angry people that didn't understand the joke.

I thought about it, but in the end, I thought it was too late at night for a potential epic thread.

I was never excited for CoD Wii, but after reading how they're actually trying to make it unique (like Zapper support), and most importantly not just a PS2 port, I'm actually really interested in it now.

Heh, thanks for remiding me of that. I'll add it into my original post.

By the way, cool sig! Pikmin 3 would be so awesome! :lol:

Muahahaha! You all fell right into my trap!Arkthemaniac

Btw there's Brother in Arms too but that probably won't be good cuz... ya know... it's from Ubisoft.

You forgot brothers in arms double time

There really is a lack of effort in the FPS department on Wii and it should change.

Agh, I did forget Brothers in Arms! Thanks for reminding me! I'll edit the original post.:D

ahh goldeneye, the first dual analog shooter (as far as i know) the first dual shooter i ever playedOmatron

Since when did the N64 have a dual analog controller?

To OP, I believe the new James Bond game is actually going to be third person and not first person.

EDIT: My bad, just read up that it is first person with third person elements.

I hope that Ubisoft really works diligently on Red Steel 2. The first one was pretty sketchy in terms of gameplay, control response, graphics, and voice acting.

I thought Red Steel was a pretty good game for being a launch title, but I'm hoping That Red Steel 2 will be much better than the first.

goldeneye had 8 control setups 4 were setup for dual analog, plenty o'toole, **** galore, dominique derval, and holly goodhead, if anyone still has a 64 and a copy of golden (emus just dont cut it for me) try one of those, setups its like early dual shooters, move/turn, aim/strafe

edit: hmm it seems i cant type that word, hopefully i dont get in trouble since its a bondgirl name

Ugh... I sure hope that's not all.

• Red Steel sucked. Can we expect anything better from a sequel?
• Conduit will push the Wii technically but that's it. Like Wii gamers should know, there are more important things than graphics. High Voltage has never made a quality game.
• There are three major things wrong with CoD: World at War. First of all it's multiplatform, how often is the Wii version superior? It will most likely be a PS2 port with Wii controls strapped on it. Secondly, it's another WW2 shooter. I got tired of them back in 2004. Last but not least, it's developed by Treyarch.
• Like you said, very little is known of the game but I'm already ready to doom it: it's multiplatform and will just be a movie spin-off. Except for Chronicles of Riddick and GoldenEye, how many great spin-off games are there actually?
• Brothers in Arms should die already. We already have enough WW2 shooters. And waiting months for release even when the game is ready sounds rather shady. Gearbox probably hopes for Hell's Highway to increase the sales of another shoddy port.
