Mercury Meltdown Revolution

Price: $19.99

Gamespot Score: 8.5

Mercury Meltdown is just about as cheap of a game as you are going to get. At $20, this game is a great value. To play the game, you must hold the wiimote sideways. The game takes advantage of wiimote's tilt sensing in this case, as you tilt the wiimote left and right to guide your blob of mercury around the level. The object of the game is to get your blob to the end of each level without loosing it by makign it fall off the ledges. The game even includes party games.

Even better - the game includes all new 'toolbox' modes. Now, you can draw clues, and figure out puzzles with the help of the wiimote.

Zack and Wiki

Gamespot Score: 8.5

Zack and Wiki was first given critical acclaim by IGN, with their 'Buy Zack and Wiki Campaign'.

Are you looking for a really good baseball game on Wii? Look no further. Seriously, this game is one of the most in-depth baseball games ever, and got great reviews all around! Don't let the cuteness fool you! This is a true baseball game at heart, and the series has been loved by loyal fans.

These are the top budget games I can think of. If there are more, tell me. :)

Very nice thread. I can't wait to get Ghost Squad. It looks like a good ol' arcade shooter. Fun, fun, fun! :)BioShockOwnz

Me and my bro got a little tipsy in a Dave and Buster's in Honolulu and dumped a bunch of quarters into the arcade version of this game. Its a lot of fun. Get's pretty intense.

Who would pay $29 for Ghost Squad? There is only 3 levels and they take 10 minutes each...

Shortest game ever.darklord888

Yeah, in those missions, there are different paths that people can take. But seriously, it's a light gun shooter. What are people expecting? 20 hours of gameplay?

No, not really.

I wonder how much Trauma Center 2 will be?LINKloco

I fully expect it to be $50 considering how much more they put into it. Seems to have relitively large production values compared to the first.

Oh, and add:

MLB Power Pros - $40, 8.0 on Gamespot.

And it's even getting better for us canadian gamers!!

Games that used to cost 59.95(or would debut at this) or now 49.95! Go canadian dollar!

Though those are some neat games you have listed(except zack and wiki, which is beyond exceptional of course). Variety is cool, and those games are offering it.. now lets hope some of the ones yet released will be quality.

Oh, and add:

MLB Power Pros - $40, 8.0 on Gamespot.

Youre avatar suits your gaming tastes perfeclty:lol:

Dont worry, theres plenty of people who liked to be ripped off by casual and kiddy crap. You have SMG to play for the rest of the gen, just like with GC and Metroid Prime:lol:

No, not really.

Psychonauts is a good game, so you're right, it does fit my gaming tastes perfectly, my avatar depicts a good game, and I like good games, that's why I got a Wii.

Don't feed the troll, dude. He's just making incredibily stupid remarks now. Flaming Mario for being a 'kiddy' game is just what fanboys do when they can't think of anything else.

How can Geometry Wars Galaxies be 40 dollars? I understand they added levels and multiplayer, but come on, a 35 dollar jump?Sparky04

Easy, the casual industry that Kidtendo has created will pay for it
WuTangG

what's wrong with you?

Prolly to pay for printing and distribusion. If they made it a wiiware game like they should have it prolly would be $8.

I don't even own a Wii (although i do plan on getting one). you on the other hand sound as if you have serious emotional problems.

What are you hoping to accomplish by coming into a thread about budget wii games and throwing out childish insults?

And you have? Last gen games in HD and dumbed down PC games. The only thing even close to being something new on the PS3 and 360 is Mass Effect.

I own a 360..the games are nothing spectacular. Your just one of the million people who got blinded by pretty visuals.

Distribution does NOT add 35 dollars to a game. I'm willing to bet that costs much less than a dollar for each copy.

PGR 1 - 2 mil +

PGR 2 - 1.56 mil

PGR 3 - 1.26 mil

Enter the Kidtendo Super Lamecube (Wii)

Excite Truck - 0.51 mil

PGR 4 - 0.12 mil sold:cry:

Casual trash killing such quality, certainly wasnt the case before Kidtendo arrived:cry:

In other words gaming is DEAD, who cares if Sony has Home, and MS has XBL, Wii fankids have Weather Channels! See innovation right there;)
