Aside from Red Steel, the Wii hasn't had many noticable disappointments. Realistically, that's bound to change. Out of the currently extremely hyped games, which do you think is most likely to be a total letdown?

I am not highly anticipating anything for the Wii other than the next Legend of Zelda title. Another Mario game won't come around for a while, and I didn't enjoy galaxy all that much so I am not so interested. I wish Nintendo would get Donkey Kong game design rights back though; DK games since DK64 are junk.

They all seem pretty good but I need to see some gameplay of the sadness so I will go with that, for now.

Jaysonguy

How can you make a statement like that when all you know about the game is that it is in black and white and the genre? If you were going to say it will never be released then it would be hard to argue that, but talking about the quality of a game with no details on it is ridiculous. I would say the most likely to disappoint is Conduit, the others are what they are and you cant expect much more than that. With Conduit there is alot of pressure to make an overall solid title, which can be too much to live up to.

Sadness is real. An actual in-game shot just got posted on IGN and the game was just announced to use the Gamebryo engine on Gamebryo's site.

The Conduit. High Voltage Software's history isn't too encouraging. But I hope it turns out to be a great game, along with Gyrostarr and Animales de la Muerte.

i believe that the conduit has taken a lot more hype than it deserves.i do not think that it is something so special.we have heard a lot of promises that it will go graphics on wii on a new level but in my opinion a lot of wii games look better that this and the gameplay of the game is nothing more from a typical fps.i hope iam wrong and i will wait for the reviews to say my final opinion but these are my thoughts now.

I think Conduit. I hope that it isn't bad, but it's getting a little too much hype IMO. High Voltage has a long list of average games and the Conduit may turn out to be average as well.

im sure about conduit since a lot of people already think it wil fail.Im expecting it to be good and for me it doesnt need to redesign the genre to do it. the puzzle element from the all seeing eye shows they they are at least trying to do something a bit different

Fatal Frame IV imo. The first 4 weren't anything amazing and I don't get why people will think this will be any different. But, ToS holds the most promise out any of these games.

And you call it that based off of what?

For me, I'm not getting my hope too high for The Conduit.

I don't see anything on IGN that hasn't been there for ages. And the Gamebryo Wii engine came out long after Sadness was purported to be in development. Unless we see some confirmed in game screens or footage I won't believe the hype.

I like the style, but I agree the black and white might get a bit bothersome after a while.

But I think it should be very solid gameplay wise when you consided the type of talent they have at Platinum Games.

I think Fatal Frame 4 is going to be the most disappointing game from that list. I would've said Sadness, but I really don't know much about it.

IGN has two confirmed in game screens. People mistaked them as cinema cutscenes because Sadness doesn't make use of a HUD.

Lets see...Fatal Frame and Tales will deliver.

Sadness...we know so little about it, it really can't be a let-down yet.

Im going with The Conduit, though I really think it will pull through as well.
