Nintendo Life review: A Shadow's Tale (Wii)

Quoting Nintendo Life's James Newton:

"A classic case of visual style over playable substance, A Shadow’s Tale still has enough graphical and audio flair to convince you to forgive its less original features, and there’s more than enough moments of enjoyment to make the purchase worthwhile. What could have been another must-have Wii 2D platformer, A Shadow's Tale is still worth your time as long as you keep your expectations in check."

This console has so many great games. I'd like to see a sequel to The Last Story.

There's not going to be a sequel to the structure of Super Mario Galaxy 2 though. The only reason we even got SMG2 was because they had plenty of leftover ideas from SMG1 that didn't make it into the game. It's better that we got other structures of 3D Mario later on

crazyaejay2580d ago

Agreed. Mario 3D World is one of the best so hopefully Odyssey lives up to it.

mikeslemonade2580d ago

Galaxy 1 and especially Galaxy 2 are two of the most overrated games ever made.

Deep-throat2580d ago

The console was pathetic to say the least, but the games were great!

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Zelda Skyward Sword
Donkey Kong
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Zack & Wiki
Sonic Colours
Xenoblade Chronicles
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Super Mario Galaxy is getting a sequel though...Odyssey

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a one off mainly because they apparently had content left over and instead of it wasting they made another game since they were still in the consoles life. Wouldn't make sense to have a sequel to Galaxy when each new system has brought us a different, brand new main Mario game. I'm glad we got Odyssey over it, it looks great and more open then Galaxy. Once you got to certain point in some levels of Galaxy (star cannon) you couldn't go back so back tracking was limited

darthv722580d ago

Technically it's not a sequel. SMG3 would be a sequel. Mario Odyssey is it's own game and possibly new spin specifically for the switch like Galaxy was for the Wii. If anything, Odyssey is more akin to Sunshine than Galaxy.

-Foxtrot2580d ago (Edited 2580d ago )

Each ones are spiritual sequels

64, Sunshine, Galaxy and Odyssey

crazyaejay2580d ago

New Super Mario Bros. seems to always have sequels (2 on 3DS, one on Wii, and one on Wii U).
Also, Super Mario 3D World is a sequel to Super Mario 3D Land.

So, Galaxy 3 would be cool.

-Foxtrot2580d ago (Edited 2580d ago )

Super Mario 64 didn't

Super Mario Sunshine didn't

Super Mario Galaxy was the only one

Super Mario Odyssey probably won't

Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros are not main line Mario games...just advanced versions of the handheld games

The 10th Rider2580d ago

Personally I want to see them revisit galaxy and sunshine in the same game. The water gameplay combined with the physics stuff could get pretty dang wacky.

-Foxtrot2580d ago

Super Mario Chronos

Time traveling to past games

You heard it here first :3

-Foxtrot2580d ago

Oh shit man SEE it's just waiting to happen

That and another game with a Dimension jumping element

Missing a lot of games: Red Steel, Zack and Wiki, Little King's Story, Bloom Blox, De Blob, Muramasa, Excitebots/bikes/trucks, Sin and Punishment, Kloana, Battalion Wars, etc . . .

Rebel_Scum2580d ago

Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't need a sequel. You could see the ideas drying up when playing through it.

Nintendo’s Wii: my console of choice for the last generation

Banjamin Yoder: That’s not a ridiculous proposition if you think about all the first party successes the platform had with Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and other big Nintendo franchises. Where my love of the system does get a little strange is that I prefer the Wii’s third-party titles over other consoles.

The Wii had some incredible games, but just not enough to go up against the PS3 or 360's exclusives. (Opinion, obviously) That being said, I'm so glad I got to play on all three systems this generation. I didn't miss out on any of the games!

Games of the Past Review: Lost in Shadow | oprainfall

oprainfall writes:

"Lost in Shadow is a game focused on melancholy, but it also throws in great helpings of mystery and wonder as well. The game begins quickly, with a bound and helpless boy confronted by a strange, hooded man. As he approaches, the menacing figure materializes an oddly shaped sword in his hand, which he then raises and brings down on the child. Instead of a geyser of blood, however, the boy is unharmed. That is, except for his shadow, which is severed from his body by the sword. The shadow then falls from the precipice of a great tower to the bottom, which is where our story begins."
