The Wii has plenty of great and/or hardcore games for 2008.(pictures and videos)

[QUOTE="ThePlothole"][QUOTE="nitekids2004"]

Only 4 games hold my interest right now. Oboro, SSBB, ToS, and perhaps the DQ game..

And removing "filler games" (Lol at Redsteel 2, Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, Spore - no sufficient info yet and Worms), the Wii has about 11hardcoregames. Yes...that's plenty :roll:

nitekids2004

Worms is "filler?" Uh, have you ever played a game in the franchise before?

Yes, i have (PC). In fact, I enjoyed the gamevery much. I even have Worms Open Warfare2in my DS right now. Too bad it's not as great as it once used to be.

Fair enough, I guess.

Why am i not seeing final fantasy crystal chronicles crystal bearers?lordlors

Great, now how many of those are gonna be above a 5.0?Watch_Me_Xplode

How many PS3, 360, PC, DS, or PSP games released next year are gonna be above a 5.0?

Turn-based games are considered hardcore :?

monster hunter 3 and dragon quest wii excluives?

japan is the land of the wii

sorry, tc, but you look like you're desperately looking for any game on the wii you could possibly hype.rowzzr

I love it when people tell one another what's hardcore and what isn't when in reality they play some of the most casual dumbed down franchises (Oblivion, Rainbow Six Vegas, Call of Duty). And getting excited for watered down features that the PC has had but superior for nearly 10 years. So entertaining.Gunraidan

AHHHHHHHH,c'mon dude, dont hit them that hard, i'm sure they gonna enjoy their games and then go to school saying that they are hardcore...lol

That I couldn't tell you. Though it does make it the best selling third party game on any home console this generation in Japan. It's also one of the fastest selling games in Japan.

Ragnarok1051

I hardly remember hype for this game.

Looking forward to :

SSBB

MK

Disaster

Sheep constantly say they have Japan on lock down with DQ and Monster Hunter, this doesn't look like lock down to me.

In terms of this topic while there are many games I will buy on this list, face it the Wii is lacking on high profile third party games.

Yes there are perfectly logical excuses for this which are:

#1 It takes 2-4 years to make a quality game and the Wii was a breakout success and has proven that it will stablize it's place only a few months ago.

#2 Third Parties are still testing the Wii's waters to see what sells and what doesn't.

But whether or not their are logical excuses for this one fact still remains, third parties as of right this second aren't taking the Wii too seriously.

I feel that Nintendo fans treat third party Wii games as how Xbox fans treat Japanese Xbox 360 games, or how Playstation fans treat exclusive games, or how PC Gamers treat Fighting Games coming to the PC; which by that I mean the game is automatically at least good and that it is a testament to their systems weak spot.

If you can't see the difference between having Tekken 6, Yakuza 3, Final Fantasy XIII, and Metal Gear Solid 4 on your console from having Nitrobike and Worms well I don't know what to tell you.

Just because it's a game that is in your hardwares weakspot doesn't mean it's automatically good.

So far there are only 2 high profile third party games coming to the Wii which, which are:

Monster Hunter 3

and

Tales of Symphonia 2

That's it. Those are the only games on the Wii that currently reach the calibur of "high profile".

Not to mention that both of those games aren't "Western" appealing by any means.

Yes I am aware that it has other third party titles like No More Heroes and Oboro Muramasa Youtoden, and yes I will admit that I am just as excited for those games as I am for Metal Gear Solid 4, but the fact is that those games aren't very appealing to many and aren't considered "killer" games.

Now this isn't to say that it will never get any high profile games. No developer is stupid enough to look past a platform with such a high amount of install base in it's life while still rapidly growing.

But as right now the Wii isn't too viable for someone who wants big, hard-hitting, third party games.

That's where I feel the users in this site are coming from.

They're talking about Dragon Quest IX for the DS....

I hope so because 500K is not locking anything down.

Ragnarok1051

Okay seriously, not only is the game on a complete different platform (which has proven to be the only platform in Japan that is viable to third parties), but Swords was the best selling Dragon Quest spin-off on a console.

If you can't see that the Dragon Quest series will have much success on the Nintendo family then you're clearly in denial.

Don't you people have something better to do then to protect your precious multi-billion dollar corporations like spending time with friends, girl/boy-friends, playing sports, or at least playing games (hence the reason why you should be interested in this site)?

Is there any chance that monster hunter for the wiiwill be any good? The last couple of games for the psp didn't score so well...Shinobishyguy

I personally think it's low score is due to the gameplay being crafted solely for the Japanese game player (I could further explain).

Spore for anything but PC?

I laugh.
