DoFuss says: "With Nintendo and most third party publishers focusing their sites on the 'casual' market few have tried targeting the more serious gaming audience on Wii. With the comparative failure of such titles and their high development costs who can blame publishers from being a little wary about venturing in to this niche market on the little white system? Sega has thrown caution to the wind however with their latest offerings.
Foremost amongst is Platinum Games (formally Clover Studios) developed Mad World. Superficially it seems like everything the traditional gaming crowd has been demanding. A (primarily) black and white colour palette gives a stylish Frank Miller graphic novel vibe to the experience and a lavish splattering of blood and gore (I said primarily black and white) ensured it received a rating of 'M' for mature (which is the last thing I would label it). It is a visually arresting style and while in dire need of some anti-aliasing it manages to dodge most of the Wii technical limitations and function far better in motion than stills suggest."
Beneath all the Smash and shovelware, the Wii really did have quite a few gems.
Not a bad list.. I would add Excitebots, Kororinpa 1 & 2, Bit.Trip series, Geometry Wars: galaxies
Keanu Reeves appearing in the trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 is far from the strangest celebrity video game appearance. Game Luster's Kate Mitchell highlights gaming's most unexpected voice acting moments.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "With Astral Chain coming out right around the corner for the Nintendo Switch, I couldn’t help but think about all the amazing games PlatinumGames has pumped out over the years. Some revered greatly, others panned by critics, but to me insane infatuation. These are my five favorite games from my favorite developer"
