Does anyone remember the Nintendo drought? Those not-so-glorious times when Nintendo 64 and GameCube owners waited month after month for something - anything - new to be released for their system?
Well, may MTV Multiplayer introduce you to the Nintendo flood? There are a slew of Wii titles coming out this week. And nothing else for other systems.
How does that happen? Where did these Wii games come from? On the Wednesday before Christmas MTV Multiplayer spoke to a man who had the answers.
Data Design must be stopped. Do not give them any more money. They are the equivalent of those movie studios that produce straight to DVD knockoffs of blockbusters in a cynical, lazy attempt to swindle cash from uninformed customers.
You'll love:
- 40 levels of "fun"
- Havok physics
- Not full price
You'll hate:
- Not worth 1/10th the price
- 1000 falling deaths
- Music will erode your sanity
What did the Wii ever do to Destineer? Nintendo's console is home to piles and piles of shovelware, and Destineer has apparently dedicated its existence to making sure this supply of crap never runs out. Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom is part of the publisher's extensive Wii line-up, which also includes gems like the 3.0-rated Rig Racer 2 (psst: there never was a Rig Racer 1) and the 1.0-rated Kidz Sports Ice Hockey. All of these titles appear to have been built with the same assets -- even the back of the boxes use the same template.

Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom seems like the result of an evil marketing plan where they produce ridiculously bad games and sell them at a low price to fool those eager to buy new games without spending too much money. That's why we have to review this kind of game: to make sure you won't make the mistake of dropping your twenty bucks in one of these. Just double your money and your gaming experience will be twenty times better at least! "
low development cost and the wii being number 1.. 2008 wii owners will see alot more games then the other consoles for sure
I think I would rather would just lay and wait for a flood to take me away.
We are beginning to go into a gaming dark age with the Wii
To many unworthy games. Hopefully the good games like No More Heroes, SSBB, and Rygar still get the good attention they deserve.
Everyone has to admit that it's pretty funny/ironic that after all the complaining about the Gamecube not having enough games, there are far too many (crappy) games for the Wii.
That being said, I think that by the end of '08 the Wii will have a better pace of good games than the Gamecube had. There's just a lot more $hit to sort through.
