Dawn of discovery and little kings story could both be considered RTS gamesgarrett_duffman
Thanks I will check them out. I was looking more for one with offline multiplayer to play with friends but I guess that doesn't exist on the Wii. Thats what the PC is for I guess.

Hey guys. I'm stuck between two shmups . . . uhhh. Let me rephrase that: I mean, I cannot decide between two shoot-em-up games that I want to get on the VC. I can't decide between M.U.S.H.A. and Gate of Thunder. M.U.S.H.A. is vertically scrolling and seems to be the stronger game (from what I've read), but Gate of Thunder is side scrolling and has an awesome soundtrack that I really dig and is supposed to be a blast to play as well. So which is better in you guy's/gal's opinion?

Bomberman Blast (Wiiware) is good game, and Trackmania Wii does up to four-player splitscreen, as will Goldeneye I believe.

Ok, so I am looking into getting Monster Hunter Tri, but I am really researching it to make sure it will be worth it (a bit tight on money for videogames). So, is it worth it? How's the online? Any insufferable lag? How many hours am I looking at until I'm uninterested?

Any information or first hand experience is more than welcome.

Thank you.

The fact that you worded the question that way instead of "how many hours is it" shows that you've done enough research.I think I played it for about 30 hours before I lost interest, but that wasn't totally the game's fault.... It requires some serious dedication, so when life got busy, I stopped playing MH3, and it's not the easiest game to get back into. The sheer amount of content and the amount of work you need to put into it to get to all that content is pretty daunting.

It's pretty fun and a quality game, so if you have the time to devote to it, I'd say you should get it.

I agree with this. I got up to the level 5 quests and thats when the game gets hard! I kept dieing and i would have had to spend hours getting better armor/equipment. Then other M came out, and i stopped playing MH3, and i haven't started it back up again...

if leveling up holds your interest... i'd give you the same amount of time it gave me. about 20 hours. This is because there is NO leveling up. Your stats and such are determined by the equipment you make, and that turned out to not be my cup of tea.

No so I would recommend SMG2 as it's a much better game.

I would also recommend Mario Kart:Wii, you don't get better split-screen multiplayer fun on the Wii.

Then there is Boom Blox: Bash Party which I consider to be the best game on the Wii. You can easily find it for $10-20.

You should definitely try Metroid: Other M. I'm not too sure about the other 2 games though.

If you're okay with Gamecube games, I highly recommend Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos.

Depends, are you looking for a game with an amazing story, style, and soundtrack but generally shallow gameplay?

Cursed Mountain had all that and I beat that. I picked up the box of Fragile Dreams and I really like the cover, looks like something I could get into.

If you like FPSs on dual analog, the CCPro is alright. Probably not the best though.

Between Goldeneye and Black Ops, get both. In my opinion, Goldeneye has the better single player, but Black Ops has a more robust online. If you like extremely scripted games though, you might find Black Ops single player better.

Red Steel 2 is OK. I think it's overrated, but worth picking up if you can find it cheap. The game just didn't feel complete to me.

No idea about Madden, but the best RPG so far is Monster Hunter Tri (though it's not fully an RPG). If The Last Story makes it out here, that game looks like it's going to be great. Xenoblade will be worth checking out as well, but the combat system looks a little strange.

Harvest Moon Wii, Animal Crossing Wii, Rune Factory Frontier, or Gamecube Animal Crossing? I'm pretty sure these are all pretty similar, which one should I get? I'm leaning towards one of the Animal Crossing games since Nintendo make them. Any advice for me?

Any reason why? The combat sounds interesting but heard there was dating elements which seems a bit... not for me.

It's a medieval Harvest Moon game.

You date, harvest and fight monsters.

It's a really high quality game that could easily last you 50h+.

I've got a question about Dead Space: Extracton.

I have the original Dead Space for PS3, and my girlfriend loves it. However, she really doesn't know how to use the dualshock because she's never gamed before and so she's resigned to watching me play it. Now that I have a Wii, I really want to get DS:E for her to play... is it easier to play control-wise than Dead Space? I'm hoping since it's on rails she can pick it up easily.

Any help is appreciated

Hiya, my other thread got closed, so I came here, anyhow I'm trying to decide between Goldeneye 007 wii and Black Ops. I can only get one, and it would be quite a while before I could get the money to get another. Which game lasts longer in you guys' opinion? Which one has more addictive and solid multiplayer?
