[barakiu]

my top 5.

1.Pikmin2 (new play control)
2.Little King's Story
3.The Conduit
4.Metroid Prime (new play control)
5.Punchout

also games that score above a 7 are worth a rent, games that score above an 8 may be worth a purchase....that's may'be hundreds GameCube games and Wii games combined to look into in the future.

do u think punchout will use motion plus? it would be amazing imo if it did as long as people dont just go crazy like with wii sports boxing

[Product]

honestly i dont think it really needs motion plus.........i mean its not going to be realistic and if its anything like the other Punchout games there will only be like 4 moves left/right jab, left/right body punch,dodge and star punch.This game is more about finding the bosses weaknesses then actual boxing.Im just really excited because its my favorite nes game(that and Metroid).So this being the latest update in like 15 years in the franchise is a big deal for me lol.

You forgot one Product. One version had 2 special moves, You had the big uppercut and then one that had you throwing a flurry of punches. Anyway I agree though no need for M+. For a true arcade experience they shouldnt rely on motion for every single move. Let me do it for the specials or maybe in the training modes but keep the fast paced game play motion free for longer usage.

I'm very curious about the games coming out after the motion+ attachment. Pretty much every thing that was good could get a sequel then you add the fact that HV got the Wii's graphics engine working and looking good along with Capcom show us all what a 2d fighter looks like with 3d characters on the Wii let along the graphics in monster hunter.

I don't think this is even a fraction of my final list for 09. Freeradical killed it self seems like with the guys setting up show as pumkinbeach, crazy huh? I mean are things so bad that you have to kill your old studio just to make console games rather than HD games?

Sadly this seems to be the case. Have publishers been paid money to not support the Wii? Or put shovelware on it?

Another thing is the hype for HD games is getting lower and lower with each perfect score that ends with a game that most people just do not want. Most of these games would die a horrible death in the PC market.

Yet console games have legs and keep on selling. Seriously you have to past the arcade test.
