No wonder you don't join us in the Wi-Fi nights.

I was beginning to think you hated us

Nah, my Wii just hadn't been seeing any use since I got my PS2 (and later upgraded to PS3), so I've had it loaned out to someone who will actually play it. Besides, even when I had it I was always working on the Wi-Fi nights. Well, that and my not playing these games in so long means I'm pretty rusty.

And selling the best online games kind of puts a damper on things too.

I still own Smash Bros., but I really don't care about online in general. Leaderboards, online guilds, and all that jazz (yeah, you see what I did there) are for people who care way more about their size of their internet ****s than I do. But yeah, Smash Bros. aside I don't really have a game in my collection that can spawn the almost-party atmosphere that Goldeneye or Perfect Dark could in their days. So when I finish a game, I tend to be done with it permanently unless it truly is that memorable. That's tended to make my Wii library rather expendable.

I only had one game in that list who had a good online component (Mario Kart). Metroid Prime 3's was more of a needlesly-complex unlock code, and I'll be buying that one again later with the Collection.

ZING!

Well you said "etc" so I thought maybe you had others.

The 3 I hadn't mentioned were Opoona, Alone in the Dark, and Smash Bros. Brawl. I mentioned them a few posts after my initial. The first two were so insubstantial and outright bad that I didn't consider them worth mentioning. I just plain forgot the latter.

Stratos · « **Reply #33 on:** July 01, 2009, 09:27:06 PM »

Hey, Broodwars, I heard Opoona was a decent RPG for a younger person. I have a little sister who is 10 going on 11 that I've been thinking about getting that for. She likes the Pokemon RPGs, the Paper Marios and Super Mario RPG. Would you say this is a good RPG for someone like that?

Here's the wierd thing about Opoona: the aesthetics and controls are clearly designed for a younger audience, but parodoxically is probably too convoluted and old-fashioned for them to enjoy. I think she could play it, and maybe enjoy it. The things is, the environments are very poorly designed (I got lost frequently in the first "town", which is designed like a shopping mall with multiple levels and multiple passages and elevators to get to each level) and the combat requires a fair amount of tedious grinding. I also have a lot of issues with the game's story, which is practically extolling the virtues of being a child slave to an overlord state. The game's crap. Too simple for adults and too badly-designed for kids. You'd be better off getting her to play something like Skies of Arcadia Legends or better yet Chrono Trigger. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, try her out on one of the Baten Kaitos games (particularly Origins) or Tales of Symphonia (the first one, not the Wii sequel). She'll get a lot more enjoyment out of it.

The only M rated game I have is Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. To be fair though, I don't have a job and thus can't buy many video games anyways.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #36 on:** July 02, 2009, 11:44:21 AM »

How about this for an answer.. I enjoy all genres of games and so they are all rated M, becuase they are all mine...

Ian Sane · « **Reply #37 on:** July 02, 2009, 12:38:24 PM »

I don't have any M rated Wii games. But that's not an indication of the types of games I like to play but merely the types of games on the Wii. The best Wii games are first party titles and I think ALL of those are not M.

But I wouldn't classify a game as "mature" based on the rating. "Mature" isn't really the ideal word anyway but I would consider that type of game as the kind that doesn't appear to intentionally cater towards children. Doesn't make a game that does bad but you can tell. Metroid Prime 3 is suitable for children but clearly isn't intentionally trying to appeal to them. Super Mario Galaxy is very enjoyable for adults but the style is clearly intentionally trying to appeal to children.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #39 on:** July 02, 2009, 12:48:19 PM »

I think I'll trade in Super Paper Mario cuz it's too boring to continue after all these years. Then I'll have credit to buy another M-rated Wii game, if there's any good ones left.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #40 on:** July 02, 2009, 01:22:33 PM »

ohhh nega-daisy... I have a lot, but you know what game really brought me into the sandbox games, The Godfather on Wii. That was fun. almost, too much fun.. uh oh, do i need to see a shrink now?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #41 on:** July 02, 2009, 01:34:43 PM »

I traded in The Godfather after I realized the setting/atmosphere looked awful in a choppy PS2-port low-definition Wii game. I can only absorb that time period thru Indiana Jones and The Rocketeer.

Ian doesn't own No More Heroes or Tenchu either. Maybe he only likes 1st party games?

No, RE4 is one of the best GAMECUBE games. My friend has it and I've been meaning to borrow it but keep forgetting to ask him.

I dont think i have any Rated M games... I thought The Conduit was going to be rated M, but i was mistaken.

All of my M's are on my PS3

KDR_11k · « **Reply #45 on:** July 02, 2009, 02:31:43 PM »

I think The Conduit shows why the M rating is the wrong definition of mature-themed games.

It's also on the PS2. The problem with the GC version is its missing content that was later added to the PS2 version. The Wii version is the one to have, because it includes this content, plus it has the better gamecube quality graphics plus an improved control method which makes the game a lot more fun.

You can play it on the PS2 or GC, but the Wii version is the best and ultimate version of all. If you don't mind missing out on the extra content, better graphics, and improved control method then by all means go and play your GC version, but you will be missing out.

Yeah, my only problem with the Wii version of RE4 is that the graphics take a lot of getting used to on my HD TV. Oddly enough, the game looked fine when it was hooked up on the GameCube with composite cables, but on the Wii with component cables the game looks awful until you get used to it.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #48 on:** July 02, 2009, 10:47:23 PM »

Then why not try your Wii Composite cables?

Because I don't want my general Wii graphics looking even more like **** than they already do. (j/k)

Seriously, it's a royal hassle to swap out cables with my current setup, and RE4's graphics are only really an issue for like the first 30 minutes - 1 hour of playing the game on Wii. After that, I've found my eyes just adjust and everyone looks fine again. I've seen similar things playing old PS1 games lately on my PS3. You just get used to it and move on, but it is a bit of a surprise when you first boot the game up to see some surprisingly noticeable aliasing.
