Games that should be on the Wii

Since the old version of this topic got locked off the Wii forums for some reason, here's the new one. I'll start:

There's a lot of good games out there that would be excellent for the Wii (For instance Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Bioshock, Counter Strike, Mercernaries: Playground of Destruction, etc.) What do you guys think?

So, basically anything that can't be on the Wii, should be. Me thinks Wii only owners might want to think about picking up one of the other consoles...and vice versa.

while many of those games would be great, ther are reasons why i doubt they will appear.

1) Developers like to get awarded with feats in graphics and physics, but with the wii that's very ahrd to pull off.

2) The average buyer for the wii won't buy bioshock, thye'll buy a bunch of rip off ports and movie based games.

Other consoles are too expensive. I mean, i'd buy a PS3 if it wasn't FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Also, I din't say "every game that isn't on the wii, should be; I said that there were a lot of good games out there that would fit right in on the Wii console, Because yes, there are games out there *cough*GTA*cough* that WOULD be crossing the line.

The games you listed could technically be done on the Wii, but it would never look very good, see for example Far Cry. They crammed it on the Wii, and look what it came out like. The Wii needs to stick with the types of games it has been staying with. Owners should understand they are not going to see games like Bioshock and should be more than happy with titles like Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Zack & Wiki.

You'd be surprised how many owners would like to play GTA on their console. Problem is, it just can't pull it off very well. If you want to play Bioshock and the like, then pick up a 360 since the PS3 is out of your price range. Simple as that.

I know, It's just that I plsyed a demo for Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, and I was hoping they would put it out on a console OTHER than the PS3, plus, ash10692 and I agree that GTA would be too... out of line for the wii. But then I guess that means Bioshock is out of the question as well...

Silenthps

cuz they will say "bioshock is better on wii than ps3/360" and i noe that would never be true and create useless threads of that. plus they don need a HD game like bioshock that looks good on HD, they can stick with SD mario. and u never noe it might ruin a game's reputaion a little. like cod4 on ds :lol:

Counter-strike doesn't work on consoles so well, and the rest of the games would be mind-boggingly difficult to port to a very underpowered system.

depends on the game, and if it would work with the wii

like i'm happy that they ported okami .. the wiimote was perfect for the gameplay (though the devs got a bit lazy by doing a direct port)

Stretch Panic should go to the wii, use your wiimote to pinch breasts or whatever that game was about

Fry Cry for the Wii is a joke and it's not because the Wii can't handle far cry. It's because it's a game Ubisoft spent about a month on, taking a scraped PS2 version of the game and rushing it to the Wii just to have something to sell.

Portal.

The Wii has a completely different menu of games and, for the most part, I like it that way; it gets quirky and inventive titles that wouldnt see the light of day on the other two consoles. Not that the other two dont get inventive games, of course, theyre just different.

Some games are just suited to the machine; Okami and De Blob are two examples of games that really needed to be on the Wii, and are :)

So, if I could, I would have (some ports, some remade):

Portal, Katamari, Starcraft, Viva Pinata, Overlord, Pokemon Red / Blue, Monkey Island... that kind of stuff.

The only ones i might like to see are Kameo, Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur IVBuryMe

May I ask why? Kameo kind of does, but the two fighting games just dont lend themself well to the Wii's control scheme, unfortunately. Those games would be all waggle and no skill. Other than Brawl, there hasnt been a decent fighting game that uses the Wiimote well (and Brawl barely even uses its capabilities). And Wii owners have to hang their hopes on Castlevania Judgement.

Are we including Virtual Console? If so, a crapload of "wasn't released in regions X and Y, but was in Z" or any variation of that. Games like Final Fantasy V, Terranigma, Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, Chrono Trigger (Europe never got it, to my knowledge).Video_Game_King

They don't need to be as high in definition. Besides, the average wi buyer buys rip off ports and movie based games because thats all they can get these days. I say we Wii owners deserve something more. Also The_Goat_Azz, you needs to work on your spelling. It's like a six year-olds.

Bioshock and Counterstrike. After seeing the new screen shots of The Conduit I'm confident that the Wii can deliver better graphics than what we've seen thus far. Sure Bioshock might be downgraded A BIT but who cares, the Wii can still make it look good and with the motion controls theres a winning combo.umcommon

I have to agree with you. After all, the graphics for SSBB were GREAT, so graphics is not an excuse.
