Three Great Non-Mario Titles to Buy With Your Wii Mini

Hardcore Gamer: So you never purchased a Wii and you're interested in the $99.99 Wii mini holiday bundle. First of all, congrats for holding out so long. You're now ready to swoop in for some prime deals, and you're getting a way better arrangement than what we got when we jumped on the console as soon as it released. But whatever are you going to play?

I really don't understand why someone would get the Wii Mini when you can get a regular Wii for cheaper... Not to mention it has more features than the Mini does...

I can sort of understand the appeal it might have in Japan, since a lot of people have small houses with limited space. But even then, the Wii isn't a huge console that doesn't take up much space to begin with.

admiralvic3833d ago

I think it's the same sort of logic as the 2DS. It costs a little less, it does a little less, it isn't as good, but you're saving money at the cost of worthless (in your opinion) features.

Seeing as how the WiiU is backwards compatible I may just get these games as well when I end up getting one. I've been really interested in trying Xenoblade Chronicles, I just never got a wii to actually try it out.

I would say Muramasa myself. That game looked amazing and played just as well.

Get a Wii U it has a Wii built in and on top of new games.

You know, this article came while I am knees deep playing Xenoblade Chronicles on my Wii U (I have few games for Wii I have to 100% including Mario Galaxy 2, DKCR and Xenoblade), and I can say with certainty that Xenoblade is not only the best JRPG this generation but is also among the best ever, and is quickly becoming my favorite JRPG of all time. I just don't know why I neglected that gem for so long, but then again, late is better than never; I must advise every gamer not to miss this absolutely incredible game and try as much as you can to play it on Wii or Wii U.
You can see why MonolithSoft's X became my most anticipated game in 2014 after finally playing Xenoblade!

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos15d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8815d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies15d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
