Topic: The Nintendo Wall of Glory

[broodwars]

I don't see Sin and Punishment 2....

It's right there, I believe, on the second-to-last row...third from the left.  That's the Japanese box art.

Its to the right of the Endless Ocean:Blue World boxart.

[Caterkiller]

Why do I own only 11 of those?

[Peachylala]

Money's doesn't grow on trees.

I only own 9. And that's because I try to support quality 3rd party efforts first. Plus Nintendo titles will still be on shelves a year from now but quality 3rd party titles dissipate faster than morning dew when dawn arrives.

For me:

Galaxy >>>>> Other Nintendo games > third parties

yeah all are effective, try the mature wall

You mean we are going to get "Teh Matoor Wall of Gory" next? Sounds cool.

And also, I intend to NEVER own Wii Play.

May I ask why?

[Chozo Ghost]

Because it makes more sense as a rental?

[Stratos]

Because he wants colored controllers and WiiPlay only comes with white ones?

[UncleBob]

Some have pointed out the number of Bricks (i.e.: including unreleased games, etc.) in this wall vs. those in some of the third party walls.

I'd like to point out that - perhaps - that's part of the reason why almost every title on Nintendo's wall is glory and the walls of these other publishers are shame.  Perhaps, if they spent the same time/effort they do now, but on fewer titles, those titles would come out better.

I mean, seriously, the first Wii Guitar Hero game had ****ing sound issues.  How the **** do you mess up the sound on a ****ing music game?

Because in truth, most people who buy a guitar hero game really don't care that much care about stereo sound, or master tracks. I mean, seriously, even the REVIEWERS missed the bug.

How so? Last I checked game rentals were $8. For $2 more, one could buy the game.

I tried the game. The only part about it that was truly compelling was Tanks, and I played some co-op of that.

Just, for my tastes, most of Wii Play is less than compelling. I much prefer the balance activities in Wii Fit to the simple controller activities of Wii Play. I don't care that it costs $10 to buy. I'd rather keep the $10... and buy a third party WiiWare game! YAY!

[Mop it up]

Fair enough, mate. It's just the way you emphasized the word "never," I wasn't sure if it was because you just weren't interested in it, or if it was because of some principle.

[Kairon]

Ah, I see, loaded word there, "never."

[Ymeegod]

I count 9 myself (though I own 11 but I don't count Sports and Play both were bundles--I bought WII Play on sale for $40 so I basically got it free). 

I usually rent the Mario sport titles and I did check out WII FIt just to see it's functionality but couldn't see myself playing much of those titles.  And I already owned those NPC titles on the GC so I not rebuying them.

Where's Super Paper Mario box?  Own that one too so I'm up to 10.

[Mop it up]

Top row, all the way on the right.

[Stratos]

I'm sure you could buy WiiPlay used for dirt cheap somewhere in a pawn shop, game store or online.

[Chozo Ghost]

Most people buy Wii play just for the controller. You could probably find someone who would just give it to you for free... undoubtedly there are many people out there that own several copies of Wii Play, just because they wanted to build up their controller collection. Why would they need so many copies of Wii Play? They don't. They would probably be willing to part with them for little or nothing in return.

[Nemo]

I consider Wii Play to be 85% shovelware and 15% Wii Tank.

Admittedly, I haven't played any of the other games more than once. But I've probably spent 10 hours playing Wii Tank with friends. Unfortunately, I bought four controllers at launch, so by the time Wii Tank/Play came out, I didn't need the extra controller.

[Mop it up]

I'm sure you could buy WiiPlay used for dirt cheap somewhere in a pawn shop, game store or online.

If you bought it by itself then it would probably end up being more than $10. It's $15 used at GameStop, and on eBay it sells between $10 and $20.

Of course, if you don't need another Wii Remote and you want Wii Play, you wouldn't have much choice.

no, your going to get teh MAture wall, but then your going to have it taken away from you. Even if someone went to the trouble of figuring out what all the games were, and then organizing them by publisher, and then cutting them out, setting them up as a bargraph, and then saving them as a png file, so they could have transparencies and match the color scheme of the forums.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I'm gonna go get you some Kool-aid with extra sugar to get that bitter taste out of your mouth.
