The Year in Review - Part 3: Wii

The Wii had a disappointing showing this year, to say the least. Previous years in the Wii's lifespan have at least given us games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy (and its sequel), Resident Evil 4, Okami for the Wii, and the New Super Mario Bros. But there are a couple saving graces to the Wii this year, titles that - if you are a Wii gamer - you've probably already purchased and beaten for lack of other games.

Most of Wii's sales, are generated from Nintendo's own IP's (with a few exceptions). They accomplished what Sega couldn't do with their Dreamcast console, though piracy played a heavy part in the system's failure (which the Wii and DS suffer from).

TheWolfSage4926d ago

The DS seems to be doing BETTER than the Wii which is rather sad. But indeed, I didn't address it directly, but you'll notice three of the five titles I listed from previous years as big titles were Nintendo (SSBB, Galaxy 1/2, and New Super Mario Bros). Third party developers aren't biting because the system itself has failed, hard.

The Wii U may do better, though. We'll see...

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5488d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905488d ago (Edited 5488d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5488d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5488d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495488d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5488d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5488d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
