Why is it that people act like the Wii has nothing for 09?

^Topic.

Honestly, there's a lot for everyone, and I don't see why so many people are complaining.

Because for most people, there's like 2-5 games at best that they really want.

I haven't really heard anyone saying that. The second half of 08 was terrible, but 09 is looking very good for Wii.

It's a great list but they forgot Line Attack Heroes yet they included Cosmic Walker. Line Attack Heroes is Published by Nintendo and is developed by Grezzo Games, Koichi Ishii started that company after leaving Square-Enix if you don't know who Koichi Ishii is you probably played a game he Directed because he created the Mana series. Cosmic Walker is develope by Gaia and I don't even know if they made a game before or anything about the people in the company just that their game is Published by Nintendo.

People automatically think every game is shovelware if it's on the Wii. It has that image now and it's not going to change.

The wii lineup looks like it has some decent games out, but nothing to turn heads.

Well..of course it doesn't have nothing. Though, it doesn't have MUCH in the way of games you can really be that hyped up for. Tenchu 4 came out last year *at least the japanese version* and that was my main game on the wii. The conduit, I don't really understand but I do. Since I've played the modern pc, ps3, 360, and even the original xbox games, I can't really hype myself for a game that just looks good by wii standards. But when a game is pushing a portables limits, it does impress. It has something special to it. Hey, I can play this on the go.

But you bring the conduit to someones house and say, hey, look at this? Friend brings out crysis and says now LOOK at this instead.

If mad world makes it, I'll give it a shot. Just to see what its like. Wouldn't mind seeing another no more heroes this year, but I'm thinking one more year off. Nintendo just needs to do something worthwhile THEMSELVES instead of 3rd parties making it survive. A wii exclusive zelda game. The wii motion plus, a full zelda game, and some of the best presentation values on the wii? Why not? I don't see another true mario game coming out anytime soon on the wii. Wii music, even the casuals kindof gave up on that. So how about a zelda game, that anybody could get into, but isn't completely casualized? No minigame tingle collection. A full

The people who act like the Wii has nothing for 2009 are people who don't own the console so they couldn't care less regardless. Just Q1 alone looks good: Deadly Creatures, House of the Dead, Madworld, Little King's Story , and more.

Yeah. I own a Wii and the only game you just listed that looks like it has the potential to be interesting is Madworld. And barely, at that.

And the reason on why most people don't own the Wii is because they don't care about the games it has to offer. So it's full circle.

I own all 3 systems, and I'm not hyped for ANYTHING on the Wii (except the Cube remakes lol).

You must not know what Little King's Story is or something. House of the Dead: Overkill doesn't interest me at all, but those other three games he mentioned do have a lot of potential. I have no idea why you would disregard one of the Wii's biggest games.

I know exactly what it is, but I don't care about it in the slightest. Same for Deadly Creatures and House of the Dead. I couldn't care less about any of those.

Well according to a massive Sony fanboy like hakanakumono, "significant" requires that it be released on a Playstation platform.

Deadly Creatures looks good? Really? Really?

6, 7, 7, 7. How lucky.

All four games you listed are the kind of games you would have looked at briefly on the PS2 or gamecube last generation before quickly finding the higher quality titles.

Oh really? I'm fine with admitting the 360 currently has a superior library to the PS3. This isn't because I'm too busy under sony's covers. This isn't because I hate nintendo. This is because their lineup is very disappointing.

Just so you know, I almost bought a wii until I looked at it's future lineup and couldn't find any upcoming games to justify the purchase.

Try again.

The sole reason anyone would say Wii has no 09 games is because they haven't researched them. I'd love for people to give specific reasons why

Madworld

Murumasa

Little King's Story

House of the Dead Overkill

Rune Factory

Deadly Creatures

are not promising or interesting in their opinion? Game specific reasons. What individual reason do you have to write these games off?

It doesn't have nothing but pretty close. Wii sports resort seems alright but hardly worth paying for, imo. House of the dead might make a good rental at best. Looks like I'll be playing Mario Kart for a long time to come. That's not a bad thing but it's not ideal either.

God, are some of you guys serious? Not all those games look "amazing" but theres alot of fresh ideas in that list. Finally some new games and not sequels or a game that has anything to do with guns. I mean look at that RPG list, its massive and amazing. Although my Wii broke, i have to get another one because that list looks great imo.

Not interested in shooters. The graphics are hard to look at.

Title to look forward to, but hopefully lag wont be a problem this time. Overall, sleeper hit.

Sleeper hit. Not amazing but a good title to accompany better games in a library.

Rail shooter. Not that special.

Almost guaranteed 7.0. Again, a good game to accompany better games in a library.

Because every game that looks "promising" gets hyped by Wii fans, and most of the fellas here are tired of seeing redundant messages. Besides, after seeing so many "promising" titles turn out to be average or below average games, we just stay true to the statement which always hold true -- the Wii's library will be "meh or dismal" in comparison to the God-like PC, and those other two systems.

Because I already have a 360, DS and still playing my GC and PS2 once in awhile. But mostly I'm catching up on 360 games, which imo, are far more interesting than anything on the Wii. But that's just me.

Actually for the whole of my Wii life, i have been interested in a few games, like Izuna, the dissapointing Zelda TP, little king story, fatal frame 4, i think that's it though, 4 games comparing to about 50+ on 360 and 10+ on PS3

Wii has almost nothing for me each year, that is a fact, and all its offerings have some terrible visuals for me that have seen how next gen games are on PS3/360 on a HDTV

You know it's bad when someone has to post a massive 3+ hour thread just to prove there are games on the system. Fragile and Fatal Frame IV are the only things that interest me. As I was scrolling down the list all I could do was shake my head in dissatisfaction.

The system or the gamers? The thing itself is fine it's the gamers that are so close minded they only try what they know of. There were plenty threads/posts asking wii owners what must have games are coming out (since there is no mgs no ff no gta no g(e)ow or halo) that made me shake my head in dissatisfaction. We'll have to see what games will be good. If You already know what games will be good then something is wrong, unless You want more of the same. And i guess that's true, most of You do want more of the same. And that's fine with me it's just really really boring and i rather move on.
That's my answer to You OP. Most gamers don't bother trying something new unless it basically hits them in the face, and they don't need it (yet). To them the wii is basically expendable.

edit: I am not trying to insult anyone. There are certain series that i'd love to see a sequel of. I need new stuff aside from that.

Cause fall of 08 has given wii haters plenty of ammunition to hate and until the Wii gets itself out of this funk the way its treated in sytem wars won't change any time soon. It could start with Mad World but last year started with NMH and despite that superb game the rest of the year was less than exciting. I think thats a pretty impressive list and you can put me on record as saying that 09 will be the year of the Wii.

07 XBOX 360

08 PS3

09 Wii

you have to understand that most of those saying Wii has nothing fo 2009 are those who dont own a Wii and have no interest in the console and its games.. I dont have a Wii but seems like 2009 will definately be better than 2008 as regards games which is good news to all those Wii owners out there :)

Quick note to make on the pics in that list. Some look a little too high res to be real final game pics.

House Of The Dead: Overkill is one of the reasons I kept my Wii, I love light gun games (shame the one I own for ps3 kinda sucks), and I love the House Of The Dead series as a whole, I've pre-ordered it, and truly hope it turns out as good as I'm expecting.
