10 reasons why the Wii will continue to dominate in 2008

Nintendo has begun 2008 aggressively, like a company that really means business. After hinting that it would stagger its major releases so that players could digest each one properly before moving onto the next, the firm went ahead to confirm that (in North America at least), Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit would arrive together in a proximity best described as an overdose in gaming goodness.

But what of the rest of the year as far as the Wii is concerned? With this year's E3 likely to bring us further details, Nintendic has compiled a list of what it knows Nintendo to have up its sleeve for the coming months, both for the core and casual audience, providing evidence as to why the motion-sensing console's unstoppable momentum will continue throughout the year

um, some games and a way to download games. wow.

ruibing5890d ago

Yeah, it's a very weak list of games for 2008. But then again most Wii owners only play Wii Sports.

NO_PUDding5890d ago

I agree... Wii really seemed to lose sight of it's original fanbase.

I am an avid Sony supporter, as many 360 owners would hypocritically claim, but despite what Nintendo owners say (and everyones dislike for Nintendo owners) I think they aren't very happy. And why shoudl they be? They ahve boguht this console expectign soemthign different.

I hope for the summer, for their sake, Nintendo will sue their new found popularity (and with that comes profits) to get some decent Third Party games for those owners.

Atleast so as to not alienate them if next generation they can't repeat the Wii.

Looks like Super Smash and Wiifit is all im going to buy. The other games sucks. I pity that day of crisis game cause it's just last gen version of all the shooters on PS3 and 360. Punch could be fun but I doubt it.

Brawl will only last so long....

crck5890d ago

and if Wii owners are happy good for them. But I ain't giving Nintendo a dime this generation.

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.

Profchaos16d 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?

banger8816d ago

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

ChasterMies16d 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!
