Not a Very Wii Christmas

[QUOTE="JonasJuice"]Interested in Little King Story and Tales of Symphonia. Maybe Animal Crossing and Fatal Frame as well. There are a couple others there, just nothing huge.cakeorrdeath

Do you think they compare to the biggest games on the other 3?

I do. Sure those "blockbusters" will be good games, but you have to admit they will probably be over-hyped and mediocre just like most of the other so-called big hits. Heck those Wii games might end up being better.Bigboi500

Maybe some Wii games aren't your thing, no big deal. Just play what you like and don't worry what these fanboys say.

No, nothing on the Wii like those games will be as 'big' as the other games on the other consoles.

What are Wii fans getting this holiday season? A 360.

The thing is there aren't just one or two games on those systems with "rediculous hype" there are clsoe to a dozen. Experience tells me that a few are going to hit the mark. Meanwhile the Wii is hoping for unexpected hits on games with much much smaller budgets. And almost nothing of note coming from First Party.

Wii games are my thing as well, I love Wii Sports, Wario Ware etc. There just isn't much of anything like that coming out.

You're right the Wii don't have the sheer numbers this holiday season and some of the other companies games will be good.

I don't see it as a either or competition. I will be getting all the good ones on both Wii and 360 this year.

Well everyone on SW always critisises Nintendo for relying too much on first party titles so now the third party has a chance to proove themselves without much comp from the big N.

I suppose that is where the difference lies. I will be limited to at most 6 more titles this year, I simply don't have enough free time to bother with more than that, and thus will only be purchasing the absolute cream of the crop. I am not suggesting the Wii won't have good games just that I will end up not playing much better ones of other systems.

[QUOTE="angelkimne"]This year as a whole has dissapointed me....6matt6

This gen has disappointed me.

Me as well. Most developers today are treat making a new game like it's a just a simple formula. They think HD graphics + shooting or racing + standard online play = profit. Or Nintendo Wii + sime mided puzzlegame = profits. :|

well i get nothing until it passes review mustard.

but assuming there good, ill be getting deblob, deadly creatures and mushroom men. disaster too.

the wii doesent have much in the way of high production values, big name sequals comign this christmas...except animal crossing (which i probably wont be getting unless nintendo add a load of new stuff over the DS version). what it has is slightly more niche and more out there games.

digging around and reading many previews is a must.

The first Fable and Resistance where nothing special, so why do you think their sequels will be THAT much superior to the Wii games coming out? The only huge blockbuster I see anywhere this year is Gears 2. Bigboi500

You just never will. A lot of Wii titles are like niche titles -- they'll never be as big as a Halo or a Gears. The only thing close are first party titles like Zelda or Metroid or Mario.

I'm getting a pony for Christmas!

But I probably wont be getting any Wii games... I'm gonna try to snag me a copy of MvC2.

Well, considering I'm already behind on both Wii and 360 games that I want to get, that isn't a problem for me. :P And because of that, I might not end up getting all the upcoming games for a while, but I'll just list the games that I'm interested in (although might change my mind depending on reviews) coming out between now and the end of the year (according to GS's list of "upcoming games"). Admitedly, it's not as much as the 360 games that I'm interested in, and not as many as I'd expect for this time of year, but a fair amount.:

Warioland Shke It
de Blob
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility
Sam & Max: Season 1
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Animal Crossing: City Folk

They would ave to worry about that if they didn't always try to do better graphics then the last game that came out. :? They also shouldn't be putting up with the 'loyalty fees'that are being forced on them. Sure, an uniqeu game doesn't always make good profits (which is dangours because of the cost to make a game) but it is sure to make a fanboy or two. :P But I think they could at least try a hand on second rate popular genres like fighting games and whatever genre Dynasty Warriors is in (I would LOVE a game like that done right.)

What do you mean by this? Teufelhuhn

When you want to make a game for a console noadays, you have to pay these fees known as 'loyalty fees'. They include such things as the dev kit, the rights to make a game for the console, and other things. I remember reading something in Gameinformer about a handful of independent devs leaving M$ to work for Nintendo be cause they don't have these fees (or they're not as abd). But please, don't tell me that video games has become like movies! :(

Slim pickins thats for sure. Maybe they'll release some sweet VC games.

Hmm... I guess add to this Little King's Story and Fatal Frame. I'm interested in those, but they were listed as early next year, so I didn't list them. Maybe there are others that I'll be interested in then. :?

those fees have always existed. a publisher/developer has to pay a licencing fee to release a game on a console. thats been the way since the birth of the world in the 80s :P.

nintendos is the lowest now (im not sure what a licence fee is, but a dev kit only costs $2000 i believe) but back in the snes, N64 and early GC days, they were daylight robbers. licencig fees and ev kits were massively expensive and then the publisher had to pay for carts on top of that. they couldnt make their own as nintendo didnt allow it. they also charged more for GC discs compared to a standard DVD when the GC was new.

also games may get rejected for whatever reason. even if u have the money, if MS, sony or nintendo dont approve of the game then its never going to happen on their console.

but yeah...every console and handheld has a fee. the only platform thats free for everyone to develop what they want is the PC and certain platforms like the pandora handheld, which is completly open source.

:shock: I didn't know that! Thank you for the knowledge, in fact, I'm surpise we even have such number of genres at all because of this! And I knew about the fees, if you read the link in my sig Nintendo were the first ones to take it to such a large extreme. They also had something that if devs wanted to make games for their console... they weren't allowed to make games for any other consoles. They owned 90% of the market with stores supporting their monopoly. It doesn't say how but Sega gave them a big slap in the face when they entered.

So you admit that you haven't been following the console much, then say you are disappointed? And instead of just looking for a thread that is exactly like this, since most threads in System Wars are exactly like this, you chose to make a new thread? Someone post the list, and then see if you are interested in the games coming out for it. That's it. If these titles "don't interest you," then give the Wii to someone else because you are doing no good keeping it.

These threads... Will they ever stop?

Wii owners, just get a PS3 or a 360.

I was already upset at the selection back in the summer. So I've been Wiiless for over a month now. The PS2 is still doing it's job perfectly.

not much i see from nintendo itself though i'm interested in Sam & Max Season 1, Tales of Symphonia 2, Animal Crossing and Star Wars The Clone Wars. although with warhammer online out i don't think i'll have much time for any.

The Wii has been a pretty big letdown for me. I bought Brawl based on hype mostly and the fact that I owned SSBB but Brawl just feels stale for some reason. Mario Kart is a blast though.:)

It's good to be a PS3/360 owner, I must say. More than enough PS3 games for me this year so I'm gonna get a few games that I really want this year and next year during the games drought I will buy the rest at a cheaper price.:D

[QUOTE="angelkimne"][QUOTE="Jandurin"]Yeah, totally weak for sure. Bad time to only own a Wii :P You've been making a lot of topics, cake :oTeufelhuhn

I know why. :P You're too afraid of saying something you shouldn't, because mods are supposed to be prime examples. It's why I would never want to be a mod.

2008 has been a poor year for gaming in general, sure there have been one or two gems (on all 3 consoles) but overall a poor year!antiredcap

What specific date in 1998? If it was Dec. 3, then you still have to wait a while before it's the 10yr. anniversary. That's assuming this is actually 2008.

Uh the whole entire year? As in the games released that yearair_wolf_cubed

There's still hope then.

I'm also curious what was in 1998? Also, when are you going to add that new crazy face I showed you?

This one of course!

BTW, those were alright games, but they're nothing compared to GTAIV. 2008 ownnzzz 1998.
