The wii hasn't had a AAA game for 432 days-Will the drought continue until 1000?

I don't understand the importance of AAE, or AE titles (there isn't much other than that if you enjoy that genre, which I don't for almost all the wii games then you buy it). The wii is lacking in quality games by a huge margin.I mean almost every 3rd party title that is decent is only on ps3 and xbox 360 and there are tons more that are coming on it that are going to be largely ignored AAA titles (Brutal Legend, Modern Warfare 2, bioshock 2, Assasin Creed 2, and bayonetta) which will further cause a spread between the quality title on xbox 360 and ps3 compared to the wii. Lets put it this way. The ps3 and xbox 360 had 2 AAAA for ps3, 1 AAAA for xbox 360, 10 AAA for ps3 , and 8 AAA for xbox 360 during that period of time. The only game which interests me that I think could score AAA is tiger woods 10 and if that doesn't score AAA the drought will continue possibly till 2010 until Super Mario galaxy 2 arrives.

Let's put it in this perspective. The longest period for xbox 360 to have an AAA game was from Elder Scrolls to gears of war 2 (which was 231 days which is roughly half the time compared to this drought) and 229 for Ninja Gaiden Sigma to arrive on ps3 (which was roughly half the time compared to this drought. This is the longest period ever fora console to not have an AAA game.

Edit: this was a quick type and there were huge writing problems.

You act like most A and AA games are unplayable to people who don't enjoy the genre, A and AA games are fantastic, these scores have gone all up in peoples heads, I find many A and AA games I love over AAA or AAAA games.

This Xmas it should end, like Mario G2.

The question is, after that, how long will that drought be? :)

I like how you practically ignore the A and AA games to make your "argument" look good. :lol:

AAA? Who cares, honestly? The Wii has awesome games, so there is no drought. It's had a successful '09 that any true hardcore gamer can accept.

[QUOTE="xgamer40"][QUOTE="nhh18"]Most AA, and A games are fantastic but they aren't in the same category of quality as AAA games. I mean is motorstorm pacific rift and burnout paradise in the same quality. Those games are bought if you enjoy the genre it is in. And wii doesn't really have many games in genres that I would enjoy. EA Sports Active isn't what I would say my most wanted game.

Another war FPS, a casualized bastardization of Fallout, and an arcade racer that doesn't even touch earlier Burnout titles? :( Man, AAA's arent' all they're cracked up to be, I see.

Well, in my opinion there have been several AAA titles within this year. Personally, I think Gamespot's reviews are garbage.

[QUOTE="nhh18"]

[QUOTE="xgamer40"] Again it falls all down to opinion, there are plenty of fascinating A and AA games on the Wii that I love, Metroid Prime 3, Mad World, Animal Crossing, just to name a few, Plus there is a large backlog of AAA games on the Wii to keep people busy enough for at least some time. Soon there will be Mario Galaxy 2, Mario Bro's, the new zelda title, No More Heroes 2, and Metroid Other MBioShockOwnz

so no 8.5 game is worth having?Nuck81

Exactly my thought. It is true the Wii has not gotten an AAA game in a while but the system got many AAs just in the past two months. Maybe Tiger Woods 10 will end this drought. It hasn't been reviewed here yet, right?

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="nhh18"]But they aren't even close to 'must have' or quality titles like COD4, Fallout 3, or Burnout paradise. Which is why those are AAA games. The wii hasn't had that title yet in 432 days, that is why they are AAA titles.

Meh... Personally I think GameSpot reviews are crap... lol.

[QUOTE="savebattery"][QUOTE="nhh18"]What is this arguement. Why do I have to buy only AAA games in order to even make this fact relevant. I mean this is where it doesn't make any sense. Of course I could buy AA, and A games. But AAA games usually represent the cream of the crop. AA, and A games you should buy if you are interested in the genre it is in.I mean all AAA games are usually must haves and should be bought.

munchlax99

is there like a key for the As

HELP!

I think it is mostly Opinion...I think Wii Sports Resort is AAA! It is the game I'm most hyped for this year! If you count 2010 itwould be hard to decide...Zelda Wii is 1...and Metroid other M is 2... Mario Galaxy 2 and Wii Sports are tied for 3rd!

[QUOTE="nhh18"]

[QUOTE="savebattery"] Quality is subjective. Gamespot scores are only relevant in the odd little "ownage" games people play on this forum. They mean nothing to the end user.savebattery

[QUOTE="xgamer40"][QUOTE="nhh18"]Why do you have ot have black and white thinking (A game needs to be a 0 or a 10). These are obvious AAA titles.

nhh18

[QUOTE="savebattery"][QUOTE="nhh18"]It is hardly subjective though. The difference is far greater than some people are making out (from AAA, to AA, to A) which is why I am honestly surprised. The scale usually is a bare minimum score for a game is 7.0. The game just needs to work to get a 7.0. A 8.0, 8.5 usually means that the game is average imo. With a few exceptions. A 9 title is a stand out title. Really can't name a few AA titles that are comparable to AAA titles because tehre aren't that many.

[QUOTE="savebattery"] It's all a matter of opinion. I've hated games that scored 10/10 and loved games that scored 5/10. Because review scores are just that; opinions. savebattery

Wii has a lot of AE and AAE titles.

360 has some of everything.

PS3 has a lot of AAEs.

Wii Sports Resort has a chance, believe it or not.

[QUOTE="savebattery"][QUOTE="nhh18"]Game Industry is hardly an opinoin which is why there aren't 2 out of 10 for games like gta 4, or killzone 2. Games that score in the 90s aren't because whether or not they enjoyed the game but whether the production values, lenght, and other parts of the game are amazing. It isn't like a movie review where they can actually have an opinion. An AAA game is the equivalent toa blockbuster in a summer movie in terms of production costs and polish.

nhh18

This logic only applies to System Wars

Take Punch-Out, Boom Blox: Bash Party, and Little King's Story for example. Both games are more critically acclaimed than games like inFAMOUS.

I mean if you want to just look at Gamespot for these kinds of comparisons then yeah, no AAA for Wii, but in terms of the real world more people love the Wii games than the higher rated PS3 games this year :( Xbox has nothing to show this year so far though.

So, if you actually want to use logic then the Wii's lineup thus far has actually been really good regardless of one websites scores.
