Wii has one more amazing game coming out this year. One which isn't by Nintendo.

I think the next amazing Wii game is going to be the one I'm hyping in my signature. Surprisingly I haven't noticed a lot of people hyping it, so I'm going to talk about why people should be hyping it.

Innovative sound design.

The entire level level design has a very mushroom trippy effect. Not only because everything is enourmous around you, but because the entire level moves in clockwork. The environments make noises that all become part of the musical score. If you want to see it in action there is a video on the front page of Gamespot that talks about sound work. The soundtrack includes four songs composed by Primus bassist Les Claypool.

Good collectables.

When you collect a new item, you can combine it with various other items to construct a new weapon. This makes collecting items very rewarding. I'm guessing that most of them are hidden as secrets around the level that need a little thought or puzzle solving into how to acquire them. The game also features puzzles!

Interesting level design.

Probably not as interesting as the spherical gravity of Super Mario Galaxy but more interesting than most platform games nonetheless. Everything makes a sound that is much deeper than it's real life counterpart to give the impression that you are really small.

Good graphics and physics.

So far the graphics engine looks really pleasing to the eye, and it has an elebits-y physics engine too which I'm guessing plays a role in some of the puzzle solving.

I think Mushroom Men is going to be the next amazing title on the Wii.

Well I suppose it has a few more than one. Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World being one of them.

Why don't people hype non-Nintendo games in the same way they do Nintendo games? That really bugs me.

Because if the past has taught us, Nintendo-made games are generally better than the third party stuff.

There've been a few threads on this game already, and it's often named in lists of most anticipated Wii games, so it doesn't go wholly unnoticed.

Still, this is my most anticipated game this year, and I'm soon planning to write a huge preview on it to give it some more well-deserved attention.

I was interested in Mushroom Men a while back, but I'm just put off by it now. Don't know why either, it just looks like it's going to be very average. I had the same hopes for 2 DS games, Insecticide and Teenage Zombies and those pretty much flopped as well.

Now de Blob..... that's going to be the next big thing.

I'm actually thinkning that Wario Land could end up the best game on the Wii, looking back at it Game Boy and Game Boy Advance predecessors.

I hadn't even heard of the game until I saw this thread. It certainly looks interesting, but we shall see... I have a feeling it might have a hard time when being compared to Super Mario Galaxy.

I'm not even interested in it. I'm more hyped about Sonic Unleashed and Wario Land:Shake It. Sonic Unleashed looks freaking sweet and I loved Wario Land 2 & 3 so Shake It should be good too.

I thought you were going to say de Blob. The next big thing on Wii, platforming rarely looks so delicious.

Mushroom Men, hm, it has its merits. They end and start with its atmosphere. Gameplay doesn't look like a blast so far, but I could be wrong.

I think Dawn of the New World is going to be pretty big if it is anything like the original on Game Cube

No, perhaps preview is the wrong word. I'm but a poor amateur like (almost) everyone else here. :P

It's going to be more of a list of features and other bits of information given on the official website and various media outlets, wrapped up into a nice story to get people more interested for this game.

Tales of Symphonia 2 is by far my most anticipated. I need a long involved game that is an emotional roller coaster like the original TOS. There hasn't really been one for the Wii as far as I know other than Zelda TP. Zelda was great don't get me wrong, but I wasn't all that in to the actual story. I need a good RPG with a great story and characters.

I'm not usually one to judge a book by it's cover...

mushroom

....but doesn't this look fimiliar to some of the craptastrophies we've seen on the Wii?

I've seen gameplay footage of the game and the graphics look great... but good graphics don't equal good gameplay.

That cover looks ok, but the tacky font wrecks it.

this game looks interesting, but I'm not excited so to say. I'm def keeping my eye on it though.

Haziqon just confirmed the other for us all that it indeed has waggle controls. That is what ticked me off...

on a side note, Prince of Persia: Rival Swords also had waggle, and I loved that game. Let's hope they can pull this off.

That covers looks a lot like some Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath artwork, and so does the concept of the game. I think the developers said they were inspired by this game, which is a good thing seeing as how I consider OSW to be the best game on the old Xbox.

I love this game! The atmosphere is awesome! But I am being careful when hyping it because as we know Wii third party games have a terrible tendency to fail.

They try to make the game look like those old horror movies at drive-in movie theatre.
