Nintendo needs to develop their own insane FPS to set a standard which entails great controls and a great story line. This is the quickest route to inspiring devs to make FPS on Wii. The second quickest route is to publish a game that has a FPS elements (MP3). That is whatt hey are doing hopefully it will work.
Every single FPS for the Wii will be inferior to FPS on other consoles unless online is integrated. Nintendo has, honestly, failed to realize that.ColonelWilks

Maybe you failed to realize that you don't know anything yet about anythin of any FPS for Wii.
Agreed. But we need more than just another meroid prime game. What the wii really needs is a totally insane Halo killer like killzone or gears of war. One with blood and explosions and all that good stuff. I've been playing nintendo since I was 5 and ive grown past the green monster blood explosions.

I doubt there will be something that's considered a Gears of War Killer for the Wii, its just not graphically powerful enough. Wii is, in a way, forced into cartooney-style graphics. Metroid is Wii's Halo Killer and I don't think Nintendo will get anything better than that. These WWII shooters will not match up since they are probably better played on other systems. Its not the lack of red blood in games that bothers me, its the lack of mature content for gamers that are 25+ years, people who didn't grow up with Pokemon/YU-GI-OH and just are not interested in those types of games. Will Nintendo ever see something like a Max Payne game for Wii? Doesn't seem likely. I know that Wii is all about being user-friendly casual family system but what about the hardcore gamer who wants something more than simple minigames? There's not much out there for them right now.

It's true. Look at a game like Halo 2. Look at Counter Strike. Look at Rainbow Six. What do these games have in common? Great online multiplayer. The FPS is the perfect online genre, due to its fast pace and surprisingly good pick-up-and-play gameplay. Granted, I may have been exaggerating when I said "every FPS will be inferior without online", but the point remains the same. If Call of Duty III for the PS3/360 has 10 hours of gameplay and the Wii version also has 10, are there any differences? Besides the rather unimportant visual descrepancies, the other versions have online. Online play greatly raises the value of any FPS. Would Halo 2 have scored as high as it did if all it had to offer was its rather short campaign? I'm just saying that Nintendo needs to realize the importance of integrating online play into their games, and doing it before its too late.

Thats the stupidest statement I have ever read. Are you sure? Did you see this one here? [QUOTE="Narroo"]It's only been out for what, 3 months? Give it a LOT of time. Play Kid Icarus till then.
I believe FPS games will get better after they've released Metroid Prime 3. They wont release the game until the game's controls are perfected (according to an interview with Reggie), so I believe the game wont have problems Red Steel had, for example. When developers see that Metroid Prime 3 contols very well, they will of course know what to do. I don't only believe that FPS games will get better in the future, but I also think that we'll see more FPS games.
Yea maybe MP will encourage other FPS developers and game makers to get out there and take a whack at making shooters for the wii maybe the FPS companies need a role model or like an example of how you make an incredibly awesome FPS on the wii although I still do love COD3

Believe it or not, he's right.
Think about it, if Halo 2 or GoW didn't have online would they be as popular as they are today?
[QUOTE="lzorro"]Red Steel is actually kind of cool IMOStarFoxCOM
Yeah agreed
I agree also that Red Steel is cool, Ubisoft rushed it for the launch which caused it to have issues, if they would have waited and fixed the game it would have been way better.
I agree. Red Steel was ok but it was really glitchy and it could have used a lot more. I'm hoping this fall there will be a fps out with online capabilities.
Let's see the Wii more FPS games right? OK,first of all the Wii doesn't have the graphical power the PS3 and the 360 have for the FPS games and as for the online yeah wouldn't it be awesome to play COD 3 online with your Wii but let's just hope that later this year some FPS games for the Wii will be announced 'cuz than we wouldn't really be at Next-Gen we would still be at Last-Gen games if Nintendo don't start fighting and winning some battles against SONY and Microsoft especially with the online features both of those companies are bringing to the table tese days....
I've heard a reviewer state who pretty much likes what i like, that MP:Corruption shows the way FPS on the Wii can overthrow standard controls in that genre. It sounded like it is a good idea for any Wii FPS to wait and learn from MP:Corruption. I hope it will succeed in that area and make us forget about the early experiments with its awesomeness.

Glad that u realized u exaggerated you're quote. I understand though about the online multiplayer for a FPS. I know it raises the replay value of a game because like alot of these shooter games that are out, if they didn't have multiplayer, they would be mediocre to many, including Halo 2 in you're example, I mentioned this in another thread.
Don't worry though Nintendo will bring in the online multiplayer capability to the future games, we just gotta be patient for it to be perfect.
It is lacking, but you just have to wait. Developers are making better games for the system as we speak (I hope) and at least one of them has to be a decent FPS.
