The fourth and final installment on the problems the Wii is going to be facing in 2008. This part focuses on the innovation that needs to come and the potential that the system has.
Phil at SPC writes, "Welcome to the return of One & Done, an article series on SPC that talks about games that never became franchises. They were literally one and done! Now, the purpose of these articles isn't to beg for sequels, as some of these games don't need them and not every game needs to become a franchise. Instead, we're just exploring and fondly remembering these terrific titles from generations' past and giving them some more time in the old spotlight."
I also remember Cold Fear. Never wound up buying it but I watched some of the walkthrough years later.
Gun could’ve gone on, but RDR was a tough act to follow.
Early years of the following gen had quite a few one-shots. Heavenly Sword, Lair, Haze, Folklore, Stranglehold. Bah gawd Stranglehold had expensive DLC for its day.
Nintendo's motion-controlled console was the home of countless fantastic gaming experiences. Here, I'll count down ten obvious and obscure choices that will suit the modern market perfectly.
This console has so many great games. I'd like to see a sequel to The Last Story.
There's not going to be a sequel to the structure of Super Mario Galaxy 2 though. The only reason we even got SMG2 was because they had plenty of leftover ideas from SMG1 that didn't make it into the game. It's better that we got other structures of 3D Mario later on
Super Mario Galaxy is getting a sequel though...Odyssey
Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a one off mainly because they apparently had content left over and instead of it wasting they made another game since they were still in the consoles life. Wouldn't make sense to have a sequel to Galaxy when each new system has brought us a different, brand new main Mario game. I'm glad we got Odyssey over it, it looks great and more open then Galaxy. Once you got to certain point in some levels of Galaxy (star cannon) you couldn't go back so back tracking was limited
Missing a lot of games: Red Steel, Zack and Wiki, Little King's Story, Bloom Blox, De Blob, Muramasa, Excitebots/bikes/trucks, Sin and Punishment, Kloana, Battalion Wars, etc . . .
Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't need a sequel. You could see the ideas drying up when playing through it.
Joseph uncovers another Hidden Gem, this time the JRPG Wii title Opoona.
"We really can’t stress enough that the Wii is not doomed in any sense of the word; if anything it has the brightest lineup this year out of any other consoles,,,"
I found this comment to be a bit ....well, just misguided. I could be wrong...but I just dont see that "bright" future. Brawl and Kart....anything else to really look forward to this year?
the wii is innovation and alot of innovative games are coming in 08.. wii fit, pes2008 from konami and more
why cant nintendo make a new contra game?? or break out with some classic games up graded
... I really don't see the appeal of the wii's controlls. I've had extensive play time with teh console at my friends house (he just recently sold it to get a ps3), and i dont see how its controlls are any more innovative than Xbox Live, PSN or Eye of Judgement on PS3 (among other PSEye games. And to top that all off, I think HD Media is the biggest innovation in this generation (Blu-Ray).
Slap those Wii controlls onto a system as powerfull as 360 and PS3, and include Blu Ray, then lets talk...
Mabey next time Nintendo...
Of course this is my opinion so feel free disagree with justifaction!
