[QUOTE="TheJuiceyBar"]Crap,Name meThree games from the wii that are coming out this yearbetter then Mass Effect, The Orange Box, Assassins Creed. TheJuiceyBar

Well only 1 of those are exclusive and there may not be a game that will top Orange Box *PC version* but for the rest..

Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Zack and Wiki *for hardcore adventure gamests only*

lmao have you even looked at previews for zack and wiki it looks to be a a great underhyped game..... the only thing u probably even noticed was the cel shaded graphics which is why you fail :lol:

were comparing wii to 360, pc is not in this, sheep always hiding behind pc and uninspring rpg? That`s why its gonna dominate everything on the wii.TheJuiceyBar

Yes it is we're comparing third party support against the systems, why do you think I didn't list ANY multiplats for the Wii towards the end post? Exclusives are what people buy the system for not multiplats.

ownage approved, juiceybar you need to get a new pair of goggles cuz urs have fanboyism all over it...........ooh p1n2ed

agreed that the wii's 3rd party is slacking *probably always will* by thats it why it's labeled as a complementary console to go along with the 360 or ps3. That way you get all the big name 3rd party titles on the 360/ps3, and nintendo's first party games on the wii *along with the occasional good third party game*

and yes...King story and that games made by the Odin sphere dudes looks awesome

that games made by the Odin sphere dudes looks awesome

Just curious but are the people who are hyping Oburou Muramasa Youtoden *Vanillaware Wii game* have played Odin Sphere before?

I just like Wii cause of its variety. Its all there and then some its why i bought one. Third Party is amazing and the games that are coming out truly make me think the Wii is the best console. I know shooter fans love the mountain of FPS games that come to the 360 but its not for me. I love the third party and first party titles that Wii gots going for it. gamer0100

I think variety is the key word there. In addition there are just some games on Wii that you cannot do on the 360 or PS3. Trauma Center and Zack and Wiki just cannot be replicated on other systems without the Wiimote.

I love shooters and FPS games, but it seems like that is the only genre on the 360 right now, almost too many shooters.

nice way to present this! The Wii has a LONG way to go until it gets HUGE 3rd party titles, but right now i'm looking forward to Zack and Wiki, Trauma Center, and Tales of Symphonia.

If anything... it is a step UP from the GameCube.

The DS has been out for 3 years and it's finally getting some huge love such as a REAL Tales game and a REAL Dragon Quest game.

But since the Wii is a console it should be easier and faster. It WILL get some huge hitters but it will take TIME. But the wait WILL be easier then before since there are actually some good games comingo ut for it.

am i the only one at least a little interested in medal of honor : heroes 2 for wii? because in the previews it said the controls were very similar to metroid prime 3 and the vids looks like its similar to Call of duty games plus the online will have 32 players and if implememnted well it looks to be good, not to mention different modes such as arcade and stuff..Microsoft1234

It's just way too generic. Other than the controls, it looks like its going to set FPS back 10 years.

No others are, I'm not at all because no offense to anyone here but after owning a PC and playing it's shooters any console shooter pales in comparison.

hmm okay, so now that i consider it with no fanboy googles on , yeah it got potiental but it cannot compete with the games i listed EXPECIALLY Zack and wiki, sounds like a title off of Ped0phile porn.TheJuiceyBar

:lol: Are you some kind of joke character?

agreed. though, I do like the exclusive console FPS's that I can't play on the PC. But as far as WWII shooters go... ha..hehehe... yea....

so you're complaining because not all of the games appeal to you. cos thats pretty pathetic, you are not the only gamer in the world.. some people like those games you don't... thats why they make them,, you don't have to buy it..

and it seems from that rant, there was a decent number of games you're interested in, so really, whats your point

lol self-ownage

Great thread!

Sadly, it is already filled with Wii-haters who say they are not interested and will still try to bash the system into hell. The thing is, if some of these games came out for one of the more powerful consoles, most of these haters would be all over them. :roll:

sounds like a title off of Ped0phile porn.TheJuicyBar

Wow, that was a pretty cool post. I agree that you pretty much nailed the Wii experience thus far. Although for me there was no anger in the droughts because I had a 360 to fall back on or lead the way. I love my 360 and am looking forward to a number of games this fall.

But I noticed that a lot of the games I'm anticipating are very similar on the 360, Kane and Lynch, Army of Two, Call of Duty 4, The Orange Box, Brothers in Arms, Blacksite: Area 51, Jericho, etc, they are all shooter oriented and violent. Games like Mass Effect and Portal in the Orange Box, plus Rock Band definitely bring something unique to the table though.

But funny enough I noticed that there are a lot of Wii games I'm looking forwrd to this fall as well, and I didn't even realize it until I put a list together. The great thing is that there is a lot of variety between the titles, from point and click puzzle games, to operation games, to rail gun games, platformers, brawlers, 3rd person/rts hybrids, turn based, mini-games done well, the spiritual successor to Wii sports, and even for once Guitar Hero with all the features of the other consoles. Even what is arguably one of the most violent games ever in Manhunt 2 on a Nintendo console of all things.

For me, BWii, Mario Galaxy, Brawl, and Zack and Wiki are just as exciting as Mass Effect, Army of Two, Assasins Creed, and The Orange Box. Obviously a lot of gamers here don't feel the same way, but I know there are some here who do.

To me the games pictured here are the heart of Nintendo's holiday line-up. The top 2-3 rows here are some games I am really anticipating givng a try or just outright purchasing.

Other somewhat notables are Ghost Squad, Nitrobike, and Donkey Kong Barell Blast. Some new takes on old games include Tomb Raider Annivesary, Rockstar Table Tennis, and Bully. Plus there is the Zapper and the Zelda Crossbow game.

There's definitely more than I expected coming from the Wii between now and December, either rental or purchase status worthy. This of course leaves me clueless as to what we can expect next year beyond a new Fatal Frame, Mario Kart, and the questionable Wii Fit project. But hopefully the crappy third party support and drought of this past spring and summer are not going to be repeated next year.

Getting back on topic, of the 16 games I pictured, 12 are third party. I think that is a pretty healthy number for Nintendo when it comes to the more notable Fall titles. Things can certainly and seem to really be improving for the Wii regarding third party support. On the flip side, Nintendo's strength has always been first party, and to have Galaxy, Brawl, Fire Emblem, and BWii coming from Nintendo in a three month span is great and shouldn't detract from the Wii's image.

BOO, FANBOY GOGGLES!

YES!!! finally good games!! i only own 2 games for the wii. legend of zelda and paper mario. i want metroid real bad, but im broke right now. and im sorry that i never got rayman, but other than that, im in the same boat as the TC.

Hmm, good thread there, TC.

Honest, unbiased (as far a I can tell), and a good recap of the Wii's 3rd party support. As of now they can only get better. (Oh and mark me up as one interested in MoH:H2.)

Between the improving 3rd party games and Nintendo's top notch sellers, the Wii is shaping up to an excellent console.
