Wii Games that can't be done on Xbox 360

Super Smash Bros

Metroid

Super Mario

Legend of Zelda

The 3 tried and true franchises with a more recent addition.

Let me explain

Super Mario- Platformers that continually get critical praise, high sales (super marios 193 million) Super Mario 64, Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros redefined gaming, platformers, adventure games every generation on home consoles and handhelds. Xbox will never have anything on their consoles that in anyway compares to this timeless formula of platforming, creative level design, and fun gameplay. Super Mario games saved the industry, reinvented it, and face it without them the industry wouldn't have a face or a soul. Do you really think Pitfall or Pac man would be as relevant today as Mario is if the tables were turned 20 years ago?

Legend of Zelda- The first truly great open ended adventure game on consoles and also underappreciated. Zelda games so often deliver such a high quality of gaming that when others are critized more for issues its coz its a Zelda game and even the worst Zeldas are better than half of the games on the market at all times. It is clear in games like God of War today the influence of Ocarina of Time. Ocarina's atmosphere and immersive gameplay still tops any game out there today for me and for many others it holds up well.

Metroid- the best sci-fi shooter/adventure before halo was halo. argueably some of the best level design, boss fights, and puzzles in games period. Super Metroid stands the test of time to be one of the most immersive experiences despite its 2D graphics. Alot of 360 fans are thrilled by BioShock as they should be, but we Ninty fans have had a great FPAdventure/Shooter with great story telling and immersive areas and gameplay for years, decades now. The influence of Metroid is seen in many shooting games today.

Super Smash Bros- argueable not the most technical fighter but none the less a great one and the best selling fighting game of all time at 7 million copies is Super Smash Bros Melee on the GameCube. Fun and challenging gameplay with frantic multiplayer action that never dulls. We have are Halo-like multiplayer experience and we've had it since 2000.

The one thing I notice about the Xbox 360's library is nothing in it to me stands up to the level design in Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Super Metroid or even the more recent installments in said series.

It will never have such brillance and even Rare's Banjo borrowed so many tricks from Mario 64 and if it is ever given a sequel on the 360 it will do it again.

Sure these games could be made for this system but they never will

360 Owners have no choice but to buy a Ninty console to experience this kind of level design, story telling, and action.

These are the games that laid the foundation for everything in gaming today.

the 360 can only get glimpses of brillant RPG series Final Fantasy with online spinoffs. Not the creativity of the episodic series or anthing near FF 7.

I don't mean to bash though many will bash me back and I understand that.

So many people say "this can't be run on Wii" or so and only look into AI, graphics, etc which are nice and cool

but as we've seen with Sonic the Hedgehog and others truly inventive gameplay, puzzles, and great level design is sorely needed for gaming to be good.

It can destory publishers, developers, and ultimately cultural icons. Physics won't.

you've gotta be kidding me.fuzzysquash

i said i don't mean to bash.

if i came across that way i understand.

name me a 360 game that stands cut and above of Ocarina of Time or Super Metroid?

Level design and all.

it could be done.ginglejangle

Yes it could.

Sony saw a good thing when the gobbled up the devs. of ratchet and clank. and shows great promise with simple yet mindbendingly fun level design in loco roco.

MS will be lucky to have anything that rivals Ratchet.

I give Ratchet respect, I like it.

look, whether or not you think those games are superior to 360 games is your opinion (keep in mind the 360 has had a shorter lifespan as well).

But to say that level design of the caliber of OOT can't--cannot--as in not capable of being done on the 360 is simply incredulous.

Level design has to do with the talent of a game designer; it's got little to do with the platform he or she's developing on.

What i realize is that Nintendo Could have just released the wii-mote as a GC add-on accessory... Hangman550

Yeah they could have but then it would be 2 times less powerful than the Wii and that would be silly.

Oh BTW did you know the Wii is twice or more times as powerful as the GameCube and that games like Super Mario Galaxy and Sonic and the Secret Rings couldn't have been done on the GameCube

Not to mention MP3, Smash Bros Brawl, Endless Ocean,.......

Is the TC mentally challenged? All that can be done on the 360 and PS3. Especially Zelda that has a GC version for christ's sake. What's the matter with you?

Its not very nice to insult other users on this board blantly.

And if you had read my post you'd understand that its more about the creativity of the Ninty devs and the intelligence in such games not just the graphics or characteristics you find in a game at only face value.

Ninty owns this cultural icons, they constantly deliver great games. To compare the level design ofOcarina of Timeand say gears is almost unfair, yes but what does that say about the rest of the gaming industry?

It is up to the intelligence, creativity, and dedication of the developers to deliver ****c gameplay like this and I don't see anyone or anything with the words Xbox on it that stand up to it. Some may come close, some may be great for what they do.

I would say that if we're talking hardware capabilities, yeah, the wii can do some things the others cannot.The equation is a bit unbalanced, in the ps3/360 can doa lot more things than the wii, hardware speaking.I would say that a lot of peoplewouldstill prefer theadvantagesthe wii has over the advantages of the other twoconsoles. A lot of people would prefer to have ps3/360. Some people don't like the word 'prefer'

I think you're talking about game licenses though, which is hardly persuasive

GunSmith1_basic

Well its nice to see someone without a gun.

I'm talking about licenses to a degree, but mostly the talent of first party developers.

Fable or Legend of Zelda?

Viva Pinata or Animal Crossing?

Hell, Fable or Pokemon?!

Metroid or Halo? (argueable but those who've been gaming since the early 90's will mostly side with Ninty)

Mario or ???? What platformers does MS honestly have?

You can't say Banjo yet coz its best days are technically left with Ninty as of now until they change that themselves.

Plus, Rare and MS are no strangers to the Nintendo DS.

The only reason why none of those games can't be done on the 360.....is because Nintendo OWNS the FRANCHISE. Developers could come up with an in-game asset that enhances gameplay or make the level design superb, if they put enough effort into them. Games LIKE those can be done on the 360, but those titles you have mentioned, themselves, cannot be done due to copyright.YearoftheSnake5

Then why haven't they been done?

Are youconceding that they haven't then?

There is also a great benefit in making it standard. Most importantly, it eliminates the confusion of having some games with motion sensing and cursor pointer function, and others without. The wii makes it required that the devs figure out motion and cursor controls, rather than getting to lean too much on regular controllers. Remember also that peripherals never make it, and nintendo giving the wii a name (the Wii) gives it market recognition and people know what it is. That is why the other consoles cannot simply get into motion sensing and cursor pointer function right now---it won't be standard so it wont fly. Nintendo went all in with the wii, which was ultimately the best route for them

The dev have nothing to do with the perameters of a console. All the games you mentioned could technically run on all three consoles. You should make a new topic and name is something smarter.

I've never seen this output of great games from Nintendo you speak of. I've seen way better games from Sony and Microsoft. As well as a slew of third party devs. They're nothing special.

The only Wiigame that simply can't be done on other consoles is Trauma Center.Stabby2486

Also, a game like Wario Ware: Smooth Moves would not be fun on other consoles.

Instead, how about we list all the PS3 and X360 games that can't be done on the underpowered Wii:

1. ALL OF THEM

(its a pretty easy list to make)

Then you would realize you were wrong once you've seen the Wii. The Wii is more compact, has higher specs, has internal storage memory, WiFi adapter, and a new interface.

wouldn't that work with an analog stick? I've played the DS version of trauma center.

My main problem with this has been the declaration that Metroid and Zelda are adventure games. These games only have the most basic elements of adventure games in that you find items and use them for puzzels. I'm not saying that Zelda and Metroid are bad but adventure games are more narative based and not action based. Personaly I find the term adventure games to be largely misused. This is probably due to the fact that adventure games lost a lot of there popularity in the late 90s. If you want to know some great adventure games look for Grim Fandango, Gabriel Knight, King's Quest, or Monkey Island.

Guybrush Threepwood FTW.

So you should know better cause it wouldn't be the same adding an accessory to a dead console.
