Many critics have been predicting that 2008 will see the demise of the Wii as good software for the system dries up. Gameplayer has constructed a look at ten games that would suggest otherwise.
"With that in mind, we've stuck together the following list of Wii games we genuinely feel are worth looking out for in the first half of this year, assuming of course they live up to either their hype or their forebears."
For a lot of people, Mario Kart Wii was their introduction to the franchise, and what a terrific introduction they had.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
TheGamer Writes "Harmonix has proven plenty of times it can make Rock Band work without instruments."
I mean, yeah, but was anyone saying otherwise? The fact is people liked the plastic instruments rather than pressing buttons on a controller. They enjoyed the simulated experience.
"Work"? No, but to be good? It's absolutely necessary. Not having the accessories is like playing a lightgun shooter with an analog stick sure it works, but one experience is completely unique and fun as hell, and other is torture trying to make do playing in a way it was never meant to be played
I think CHEAP plastic instruments is THE reason why the instrument-genre ‘died’.
People invested in buying the game AND the peripherals, so the guitar, the dj-set, the drum, whatever, and the experience was absolutely fantastic. Great fun, great music, etc.
But then the instruments would break. A button would stop working, or your hits wouldn’t register, and that kind of hardware failure would end in you not being able to play the game as intended, and thus you not getting the scores you deserve.
So, now you had a great game, but a broken instrument, and nobody is gonna buy a new plastic instrument every 3-6 months in order to keep playing the game.
A solution would have been to release better quality instruments (obviously), at a slightly higher price, so you could have kept the new games coming and the genre alive, but sadly, that didn’t happen.
Bust a Groove, Gitaroo Man and Parrapa the Rappa were such good games. Neither needed any extra peripherals
on that list are Mario Kart Wii and SSBB...kinda sad.
Rock Band is on there too...why?
THEY'VE LISTED WII FIT AS A GAME
Fatal frame 3 and sadness?
I dont know if sadness will be released or not, which is kinda sad but Fatal frame 3 is a game that everyone should look out for.Fatal frame 1 and 2 were the most scary games last gen.
Glad I don't live in Aus. They still haven't gotten Zack and Wiki yet
whoever thinks that is just a fanboy wishing that the wii sells less.. the wii has alot of good games schedule for 2008 and in my opinion will sell more system this year then last year
