Join MyArcadePlanet.Com as we explore some of the soon-to-be-released Wii games that should satisfy Nintendo's hardcore fan base.

Wow, I didn't realise that so many great non-minigames are coming for Wii. Mario Galaxy, Dewy, Metroid P3, Manhunt 2 and SSBB for me.

fbetancourt6526d ago

Yeah, surprisingly enough, Nintendo did not make a big deal about them @ E3 so a lot of people don't know the nice lineup coming out for Wii very shortly. Good news for us, a lot of the games are for the more mature audiences not just little kids. Good stuff from Nintendo.

texism6526d ago

I kinda wish they did. Nintendo's press conference kinda sucked. I really wanted to see Batallion Wars 2 or BWii whatever they are calling it now...

s8anicslayer6526d ago

i would like to play starfox and see the diddy kong series return.

Darkiewonder6526d ago

How they stuck in MySims in there.

It was so random.

There IS another Sims game coming out for the Wii [Psp, and Ps2 also] Which is the Sims Castaway. Should arrive This Fall.

ItsDubC6526d ago

Battalion Wars 2 and Fire Emblem are actually two of my most-wanted yet under-hyped Wii games due for release this year.

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.

Then there is Microsoft's approach which is just to piss in the wind and 95% of their stuff turns out bad. Developers might like that personally but you'll be out of a job quicker than you know it through badly shipped products.

First party Nintendo titles are held to a specific standard for a reason. It could be argued that both Sony and MS could benefit from doing the same, but you are right with MS nonchalant approach and "it scored well internally" and then putting out something like Redfall. Even Halo, MS' flagship series, wasn't overseen with the fine tooth comb to ensure it was top notch quality.

Nintendo first party games are very rarely duds, let alone non functional ones. You don't get that without a little (or a lot) of micromanaging. Is it annoying? No doubt. Their track record speaks for itself though and you can't deny that.

DarXyde185d ago

I think there is good evidence for both sides of that argument, really.

Japan Studio didn't have much oversight and that studio produced pure magic. Financially, it wasn't a cash cow studio, but I sense that anyone who played their games really felt the care and passion for their creation at work. Media Molecule is another one. I personally feel that Sony and Microsoft micromanagement tends to be overly negative. It might work for Nintendo because they're big on making a fun and engaging game first and entice people that way.

Sony as of late and Microsoft for at least two generations now, when they get into the micromanagement, it seems like a profoundly anxious experience.

i dunno if i agree with that.

i think some leeway is necessary to achieve atleast some sort of spectacle.
