Title: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: obscureownership on May 11, 2006, 07:28:16 AM
I know this is a fanboyish thread, but hey, Nintendo hasn't had this much good press for quite awhile. I decided, just to add fuel to the fire of the hype machine, ask all of you which games has Nintendo/3rd parties already sold you on for the Wii (if any)?

My List:

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - We have been waiting for this game forever.
Super Mario Galaxy - Seems to be a true sucessor to Mario 64. That's enough to be amazing.
Metriod Prime 3: Corruption - Judging by seeing people play it at e3, this game looks INTENSE.
Red Steel - Sword fighting looks superb.
Wii Sports - Seems to be a extremely fun party game I can play with my parents.

I'll list them in the order they got me.

Red Steel - those scans had me
Legend of Zelda - I've been looking foward to this game since E3 2004, but the "redubbing" as a Wii game was good
Mario Galaxy - Mario, need I say more?
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - I think I crapped my pants when this annoucnement was made.

Smash Bros is a definate sell for me.  There was definately poop and/or pee in my trousers when I saw the new trailer. Unfortuantely, I'm out of college and can no longer mosey over to the neighboring stoners' rooms and pick up a match anytime I want to.  Hopefully it will be Wifi enabled...
MP3 looks great, Mario looks like a sure sell, Excite Truck looks cool, and Tony Hawk is actually looking pretty fun. I actually have interest in a Sonic game for once, and MonkeyBall looks as fun as ever.  Hopefully they can iron out the kinks in Red Steel and get it at a steady framerate and visual quality more on par with the trailer and scans, because as it is it sounds like it plays and looks somewhat rough.

And Wario Ware looks like it's usual awesomely schizophrenic self. Frankly, I can't wait for this system to come out.

Excitetruck - Looks like pure fun, stunning graphics in motion too.
Red Steel - It's unbelievable the amount of effort Ubisoft are putting into this, looks great. I have real faith they will deliver a fantastic product.
Super Monkey Ball Wii - Straight up Monkey Ball lovin', just what I wanted.
Wario Ware Wii - It's a new Wario Ware taking advantage of new controls, enough said.

Lots more i'll probably buy, heck i'll buy the entire launch lineup if I can, but those 4 are the only definates. Interesting how they are all by non-Nintendo devs...

I will own the following on launch day:

Madden
Zelda
Metroid
Red Steel
FF:CC
Dragon Quest
A boatload of VC downloads

Which means it'll be the most games I ever purchased on launch day.  I usually buy two games, a second controller, memory card and the console.  Looks like I'll be spending significantly more this year, especially if I want a 100 gig HD for all my downloads.

Looks like a $700 day...yikes!
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Hostile Creation on May 11, 2006, 07:47:40 AM
Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy
Fire Emblem 10

That's what I'm sold on.

Red Steel
Disaster
Wii Sports

Those are my secondary interests.  Not including the vast number of awesome DS games, of course.

people on here will probably laugh

but by personal taste and budget I can make some good assumptions without even playing them:

.: MUST BUY :.
Super Mario Galaxy
Madden 2007
SSBBrawl
WiiSports

.: TRY FIRST / MORE INFO :.
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Bob Ross: Joy of Painting
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Spiderman 3
Elebits

.: PRICE DROP / INITIAL LOW PRICE :.
Warioware: Smooth Moves
Supermonkeyball: Banana Blitz
THDJ
ExciteTruck


Yeah, that seems about right..It all depends on the pricing tho. I want to know how much extra Wii remotes and nunchaku cost. I always buy 4 controllers (and at least one multiplayer game) before anything else.

(I know, I know...Z:TP , MP:C, and Red Steel purposefully absent.)

Post by: trip1eX on May 11, 2006, 08:16:31 AM
I'm definitely getting all the big AAA NIntendo franchises.  Zelda, Mario, Samus and SSB for sure.  Only two of those are available at launch tho.  The other NIntendo properties depend on price.  Excite Truck I want to get, but if it's $50 and doesn't have many courses then I'm not sure.  I'll wait for a price drop.  Same with WiiSports.  It depends on price vs what's included on whether I pick it up right away.

Also plan on getting Red Steel and Madden.  If you want 3rd party titles you better support 'em too.  I'm sure there's other titles I might pick up down the road too.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Hostile Creation on May 11, 2006, 08:24:16 AM
I may price drop some games, too.  Wii Sports, Trauma Center, Warioware, and Super Monkey Ball seem likely candidates for that.  I love the last two, have interest in the first two, but not enough for full price.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: couchmonkey on May 11, 2006, 08:26:30 AM
I'm interested in basically everything.  Madden and Wii Sports probably won't make it into my collection since I have to save money somewhere, also the Elebits preview on PGC has me second-guessing that one, and it seems too early to say that Spongebob will be worth buying.

If Wii sports is less than the price of an ordinary game, it will make my list too.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Ian Sane on May 11, 2006, 08:30:37 AM
All of Nintendo's first party stuff grabs my interest enough that I want to at least try it.  That's pretty incredible.  The last time that happened was E3 1996 when all the cool N64 games were shown.

The titles I'm really interested in though are SSB, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, WiiSports, and Excitetrucks.  I am interested in Zelda but not really in the Wii version of it.  The controls sound a little forced and awkward and I'm more interested in playing it on the Cube.
Title: RE:Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?

To Create this list I jsut got the PGC list of Wii games and deleted the ones that I'm not sold on yet.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: KDR_11k on May 11, 2006, 08:42:29 AM
Mario Galaxy most likely, maybe it'll be good. Though I don't put much hope into a 3d Mario game.
SSBB may be interesting but it's not very high priority to me since I don't enjoy Smash Bros that much.
Prime 3 sounds interesting but I didn't play MP2 very far so I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it much.
I'll be keeping an eye on HAMMER, while I wouldn't say its chances are great it might turn out good.

Damnit, now I have to see through the other posts because I can't remember any other interesting games. Hm, nothing. Maybe FFCC if that manages to be a HUGE deal better than the GC game.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: jasonditz on May 11, 2006, 08:49:30 AM
Until I know more, it's hard to say for sure. Zelda certainly, but I'm also not totally averse to buying the GC version of Zelda and being content with my DS for the rest of the year. I'm very interested, at least in theory, in a lot of Wii games. Without a lot more info though, Nintendo still hasn't sold me on pre-ordering for launch.

Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Requiem of Darcness on May 11, 2006, 08:54:41 AM
Fire Emblem
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Red Steel
Sonic Wildfire
Super Smash Brothers Brawl

I have interest in some other games but I would like to here more info on those games first. I had no interest in Sonic Wildfire initially but all of the impressions of the game have been extremely positive. I am curious to learn more about Disaster since its being developed by Monolith. I also want to hear more about Dragon's Quest and FF: CB. I didn't care for Crystal Chronicles at all, I hope the sequel has more traditional Final Fantasy elements. Super Mario Galaxy is on my radar but it isn't an automatic on my sold list because Sushine just didn't do it for me on Cube. That said, I am happy to see Nintendo make an effort to appeal to "mature" gamers with games like Disaster and Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

Post by: Pale on May 11, 2006, 08:56:43 AM
Mario Galaxy - It makes me feel like I have to learn how to play video games all over again and I think that's cool.

TP - Because it's Zelda.  I have heard mixed impressions from the staff, but I haven't been able to play it yet.

Wario Ware - Incredibly entertaining.  In one game all you do is push a girl... =P

Monkey Ball - The Wii Remote actually made it more difficult imo, and that's a good thing.

Brawl - KEEPING CLASSIC CONTROLS!!!

Phantom Hourglass - Main game feels very good and I think I can get used to the controls.  Multiplayer is a blast.

Mario Hoops - VERY WELL DONE!  I bet this game will be a ton of fun.  Square making a sports game isn't so weird after all.

Elite Beat Agents - I hadn't played Ouenden (sp?) but the staff sold me on it.  The game is a blast.

Pokemon  Mysterious Dugeon - The way it chooses your character alone is enough to warrant a purchase IMO.

The VC Controller - An awesome piece of hardware.  Makes me feel silly for shelling out for a Hori GCN pad last month.

Prime - I haven't played it yet, but I've watched a ton.  The fact that you control both of her hands is just too freaking awesome.

That's all I can think of for now.  E3 is definately sensory overload.

I won't list anything but I will be spending, at launch, aproximately $1500 CAD if there is that many games/controllers/accessories to get.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Bill Aurion on May 11, 2006, 08:58:49 AM
For 3rd party: Sonic Wild Fire, Red Steel, Bomberman, One Piece, Super Monkey Ball...More when I actually see them in action...

For 1st party: EVERYTHING! T_T
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: KDR_11k on May 11, 2006, 09:18:03 AM
If the controls are the only difference I'll get the Zelda GC version because the Wii controls don't look very good for this kind of game.

Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?

Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: 18 Days on May 11, 2006, 09:29:04 AM
I was gunna say Fire Emblem but I'm worried the game might feature children or people with blue hair.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Fro on May 11, 2006, 09:41:01 AM
Launch Games:
Zelda: TPWii
Metroid Prime 3
Red Steel

I'll definitely get Mario Galaxy and SSB:B when they hit too.

I need to hear more on Sonic and Madden although those two sound really promising.

Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest seem promising too, although I want to read gameplay impressions

Excite Truck, Tony Hawk, and Project H.A.M.M.E.R. sound like rentals right now, although that could change.  I want to see how much depth they have in their final release.

Wii Sports and Wario Ware sound like a blast, but I'm probably not going to pay $50 for them with so many other games coming out I want.  
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: couchmonkey on May 11, 2006, 10:05:35 AM
Are Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy really going to be available at the North American launch?  I did hear launch, but I assumed that meant Japan.

Nintendo needs to save a few games for the new year.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: jasonditz on May 11, 2006, 10:14:08 AM
would they say launch at an american game expo and then later come back with "we meant Japan"?

Seems possible DQ might slip. Square generally doesn't like to release multiple games in the same week.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Arbok on May 11, 2006, 10:48:45 AM
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Red Steel
Fire Emblem 10
Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

In order of desire for me... and I'm really going to be a mess until I can get my hands on SSBB...

Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Louieturkey on May 11, 2006, 11:21:05 AM
I like fun too.

I am wanting:
Super Mario Galaxy
SSBB
Zelda TP (haven't decided on which version though if the Wii version is the only one with progressive scan, I may have to go with it)
Metroid Prime Corruption
Final Fantasy CC
Dragon Quest Sword
Fire Emblem

Others I'm interested in:
Disaster
Wii Sports
Madden(first Madden game I've ever remotely had any interest in)
Resident Evil(need to know if it's a regular game or just a Dead Aim clone)
Excite Truck
Orb(sounds fun but since almost no info is available, I'm waiting, but with the amount of effort the dev team is putting into it, I am hopeful)

That's about it for now.
Definitely will buy Punch Out! and Icarus if they are ever announced.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Shin Gallon on May 11, 2006, 11:30:55 AM
I'm definitely getting Smash Bros. Brawl, and may get the Wii version of Zelda (assuming it has a "Gamecube control" mode, I just want the widescreen). I also want Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy.
Sonic interests me as well, but not quite as much as the PS3 Sonic. I'll end up getting both, I'm sure.
You couldn't pay me to play Madden, the Wii version will be no exception.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Garnee on May 11, 2006, 12:52:52 PM
I'm basically sold on all of em, but in specific I want:

Red Steel
Wario Ware
Twilight Princess
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: IceCold on May 11, 2006, 02:09:04 PM
Super Mario Galaxy. Although I was sold on a Mario Revolution game way before E3.. And, of  course, the Nintendo first party titles will be hard to resist.

Others include Red Steel, Resident Evil, and Sonic. I'm also keeping an eye on Disaster - I want more information on the game before I'm sold, though..
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Chode2234 on May 11, 2006, 03:06:25 PM
First off, is galaxy the fabled Mario 128?

Second here goes my list:
Wii sports looks to be a ton of fun (hopefully it is more than the 3 games, or is bundled with the system)
SMG
Zelda
Metroid - The above three are all launch titles, a Nintendo Fan's wetdream for sure
Madden also looks really cool too.

Considering the above 4 are launch titles, and I also will need to get the paper Mario platformer as well as any other surprises. It is looking to be an expensive '4th quarter'

The launch is going to be bloody great, even if Nintendo decides to trickle out the games they are showing for a few months after release, it looks to be solid all around.  Fun for everyone, Nintendo has really got its crap together.  
Title: RE:Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on May 11, 2006, 05:23:51 PM
Hmmm let's see I've been sold on these games for launch:

Zelda TP
Red Steel

Games I'm interested in but are not sold on for Wii:
Excite Truck
Madden 2007
Metroid Prime 3 (I haven't been a big Metroid Prime fan, so we'll see)

Future Games I'm sold on:
Mario Galaxy
Smash Brothers Brawl

That is it for now, I won't go into my anticipated DS games, because they are quite numerous .

Well that is good news, but I find the news of Miyamoto being closely involved even more promising (I like how he stated he tends to completely change things from time to time which is why he isn't sure when it will be out).

Post by: mantidor on May 11, 2006, 06:58:58 PM
Im going to be honest, Im still having a wait-and-see aproach.

As much as Ive read almost every single hands on impression there is and seen videos and all, I still cant be 100% sure about the intuitiveness (word?) on the controls, I need to play the games before to be sure about my purchase. Besides the games arent finished, thats probably the reason of the contradicting previews, some say its awesome, some say its bad, and reviews of the final product with someone playing the full game in their own confortable couches are going to be more accurate than playing ten minutes of an unfinished demo with some guy telling you your time is up.

BRAWL!!!!!


**** man I'm done....like seriously. Anyone without Brawl listed, go like.....die or something (I'll be in rabid Smash fanboy mode for a while so uh...yeah. Honest to goodness non-Smash fans don't get offended.)

I couldn't make legible sentences after the trailer....it was bad. Pit = my new best character. I WILL break Pit or at least get as good with Pit as I currently am with Peach....oh dear bob Peach. She better be there and she better be even more uber because it's Peach.

But uh, other than Brawl there's Brawl and like more Brawl....did I mention Brawl? Again, sorry. Big on Smash and brawl is like...sex on a bun. I will forgive no Brawl in 06 if I get a playable demo with Pit playable so I can start practicing before end of 06.
0
(Prior to Brawl? Fire Emblem, Galaxy, ExciteTruck (Seriously), Disaster, Wii Orchestra, and WiiSports were my main  OMGWTFDIE titles...Zelda isn't mentioned because that's there by default...much like Brawl but I want Brawl like I want a Hawaiian Punch eternal fountain)

If Zelda and Prime 3 are released on the say day, I'm going to murder someone. All other launch titles are irrelevant until further notice.

Uhhh... I think I'll just buy an EB Games.

No, I agree with mantidor.  Wait and see.  General impressions so far have sold me on the necessity for air-tight control, and without a few reviews of *any* game confirming flawless control, I'm not sold.

That being said, Wii Sports has control down to a Wii, so I'm sold.  Likely WarioWares too.  And I have no worries about SSBB
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: SixthAngel on May 11, 2006, 11:48:14 PM
I stopped paying attention to a lot of reviews when they started saying things like "I kept wanting to use the d-pad" and the like.  It seemed to me like they weren't so much complaining about the fact that the controls weren't good but that they havn't had 15 years to get used to them like with other systems.
Title: RE:Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Dasmos on May 12, 2006, 02:31:28 AM
I think I was sold after I saw Miyamoto in the intro, but from then on Nintendo kept demanding more and more of my monies. There are alot of games that I will consider buying, but there are a few that I will buy without a second thought.

Excite Truck
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Brawl
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
Wii Sports

Oooh unintentional alphabetical order!

Also for some reason Red Steel doesn't interest me that much, I enjoyed the demonstration during the conference. But after seeing gameplay videos and impressions my interest has dropped.

Title: RE:Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 12, 2006, 03:41:24 PM
Games I will buy without doubt:

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
maybe Excite Truck(depends on how much money I have at launch)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess(I will get the GC version later)
Wii Sports(only if it's $20 or less, it doesn't like like it's worth $50+tax)
Title: RE:Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Sir_Stabbalot on May 12, 2006, 04:21:55 PM
Super Smash Bros.: Brawl
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Nintendo has SOOO much of my money at "launch" that it isn't even a funny.

LoZ:TP (GC)
LoZ:TP (Wii)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Wii Sports
Wii Music: Orchestra
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers
Red Steel
Call of Duty 3
Madden NFL 07
Metal Slug Anthology

Assuming $50 each that's $600...

Combining that with other costs...

Wii Console and Accessories @ ~$250
3 Wii-motes, $~50 each @ ~$150

...omg... that's spending $1000 dollars at launch... how in the hell did THAT happen?!?!?!

EXCITE TRUCK, WiiSports, for Airplane alone, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Sonic Wild Fire, Super Monkey Ball Banana Crazy, Mario Galaxy, Disaster: Day of Crisis (I don't even need to see gameplay to know I'll be getting this one) and Wario Ware.

Nintendo you bastards.

You know, I'm suprised we haven't seen any games with a full point and click interface, like a RTS.


I'm sold on:
Mario Galaxy. (watch the large play demo on ign and tell me it doesn't look awesome)
Red Steel (It will rise above any controller jitters, haters!)

Most everything else is a at least a must try the demo or rent. I'm sure I will be buying more.


Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Ceric on May 14, 2006, 06:14:04 AM
Launch Purchases:
LoZ:TP
Excite Truck
Wii: Sports (at a $20 price point)
FFCC:CB (If they listen to my complaints about the first one this should be an excellent game)

Maybe:
Project Hammer

Non-Game:
Wii System
Classic Controller (After making a psuedo comic series about it I just have to have one for display purposes alone.)
An extra Wiimote bundle

After Launch:
Mario Galaxy
SSBB
Camelot RPG

When there is a lull:
MP3


This is just off the top of my head but there is probably more so lets do some math with these and see what my Max Launch spending will be.

High Estimates:
$299.99 Wii  .5
$30 Wii Classic
$30 Wii Standard
$50 Progressive Scan Cables + shipping 1
$60 LoZ:TP 2
$50 Excite Truck 3
$50 FFCC:CB
$20 Wii Sports
Sub-Total: $589.99
Total: $647.52 4

Closing Comment:
lol even with my high ball estimates I'm still $10 cheaper then just buying the properly outfitted PS3.  That's not even including the tax.  Though I still beleive strongly in the $250 price point.  Also I don't think that LoZ:TP will really sell for $60 and the Progressive scan cords will be more then $25.  So once we make those corrections.  I have a launch price of... $504.99 and we add tax $554.23.  Well that's cheaper then just the real PS3.  You know I'll think I'll splurge and use the rest on proper gaming sustenance for my hours of play time. (aka Snack food and Pizza)

.5: Max Price as stated by Reggie
1: This is how much the PS2 ones cost.  The GCN's are about $25 but this is a high estimate
2: Nintendo could ask that for the Wii version and still sell more then the GCN version (Which would be 10 dollars cheaper)
3:  This be the one that gets tossed if money's tight.  Know if it was say $40 then I would definetly get it.  Period.
4:  Sales Tax where I live is 9.75%

I am sold on quite a few Wii games:

Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
The Legend of Zelda TTP
Wii Sports (I hope its a pack-in, because I will skip this for the other games)
Bomberman (I just hope they have classic battle mode with online support)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (I forgot about mentioning this, because I believe it will be out late next year.)

Games I am interested in, but will see how they turn out first:

WarioWare: Smooth Movements (I haven't always gotten into the Wario gameplay.)
Red Steel (Needs more polish, and I want online multiplayer.)
Madden Football (I hate sports game usually, but I am very intrigued by this game.)

There are also quite a few DS games I am interested in...the two biggest for me is:

Star Fox DS and
Yoshi's Island 2.  

Yoshi's Islan 2 is a must buy...But I feel I will be limited in time with Wii games so I may skip Star Fox DS.

From a quick scan of past posts, it seems that relatively few of us are "sold" on third party offerings. Don't y'all know that third parties like Ubisoft (Rayman Raving Rabbids, Red Steel) or Atlus (Trauma Center: Second Opinion) or Activision (Call of Duty 3, Tony Hawk's Downhill jam) need love too?

For me, Wii Launch is Metroid and Trauma Center. Vincent, Jonny, and I spoke with Atlus at length regarding their plans, and that got me pumped.

Post by: Ceric on May 15, 2006, 03:47:54 PM
Atlus has had to many games I've wanted and then they do a surpise limited release or ax the plans to bring them stateside.  I will not be teased anymore.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Svevan on May 15, 2006, 07:37:47 PM
Let me tell you this: I will run through the forums naked if Atlus doesn't release Trauma Center here. I think they're more excited than we are about it, frankly.

I wasn't going to get a Wii at launch (I was going to wait for it to be more widely available and just have GC Zelda and Super Paper Mario hold me over), but the excitement and raves of the remote has gotten me to completely rethink about the situation and (gasp) pre-order the darn thing way ahead of time.  Anyways, games that I will probably get will be Madden, Metroid, and Wii sports. I'm not going to consider Zelda because there is nothing to consider. I'm going to get it. Trauma Center looks very interesting. I haven't felt this excited for a game console since...I have never felt this much excitement about a game console's launch.   Basically, the games I will consider seriously will have to make full use of the remote and have as much free form play as possible. From what I see so far, I am definitely considering Red Steel, but I am waiting for definitive answers about the responsiveness of the controls for that game. I'm hoping that the Wii will be the console that ushers in the new golden age of gaming, and for some strange reason, I think it already is.

Red Steel is something I am excited about...but I want to read the reviews first...same with the other games.  I have been burned by 3rd party purchases in the past...that is why I am hestitant.

Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Ceric on July 26, 2006, 12:01:14 PM
Rayman 4.  Plus looking at my above estimate again knowing what I know now.  That drops it to $549.99 then we add tax $603.61 then if I go with my realistic estimate I could buy either Galaxy, Rayman 4, Red Steel, et al.  
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Smash_Brother on July 26, 2006, 12:14:14 PM
Yeah, add Ray 4 for me but cancel MP3 for now.

I was all set on it, but then I recently had a discussion about the insane amount of backtracking in MP2 and I've opted to wait and see if people think it's any better in terms of backtracking.

Loved the enemies, bosses and puzzles, but the backtracking killed my ability to finish the game.

I'll wait for a review before I buy, but that still leaves Red Steel, TP, Wario Ware, Rayman 4, FF:CC, DQ (if Square does deliver for launch), and possibly something else, depending on what else makes it to release.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Ceric on July 26, 2006, 12:20:00 PM
Add DQ to my list too.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Smash_Brother on July 26, 2006, 12:34:04 PM
I'm not 100% sure Square has PROMISED launch titles, but I'd likely grab both, so long as FF:CC has some revamped gameplay and especially if it has online play.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: Ceric on July 26, 2006, 12:38:16 PM
As long as they fix the gripes I had about it then I'll be happy.  But from the few things I've seen it looks like it might be an actual adventure of some sort this time.  FFCC felt like they planned for a lot of stuff but in the end had to trim it down a lot.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?

Yeah, CC on the cube was decent and all, but I think it would be better online and without miasma haunting your every step.

I hear "Action Game" will feature real-time weapon switching...

As for the topic, for some reason, I thought this was just about launch games...

Post by: Aussiedude on July 26, 2006, 03:14:53 PM
In the following order:

Heroes
Red Steel
Wii Sports

SSBBrawl (put to bottom of list if it needs 4 classic controllers to be purchased to play it)
Excite Truck
Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Final Furlong
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz
Sonic Wild Fire
Tiger Woods Golf


Probably not Mario Galaxy, didnt like sunshine and not impressed with the E3 video.

Post by: Knoxxville on July 26, 2006, 03:22:12 PM
The main one I like is Excite Truck....of course Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Brawl...the list goes on.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: getter77 on July 26, 2006, 03:54:01 PM
I'm mysteriously optimistic about DQ for some reason..but damn it all...we are getting into the home stretch here time wise and yet there are still no worthwile previews for the outstanding majority of games...like the DQ one.

Nintendo HAS to start letting cats out of bags and such pretty soon so people can have enough of a inkling on everything to avoid getting burned on a near-blind purchase...not to mention building hype and gauging fan reaction to it all.

SSBB is a lock though.  Hopefully gaining much more company in The Lock Club sooner rather than later.

Post by: Ceric on July 26, 2006, 03:54:38 PM
Actually I don't think this thread was specific.  Plus I liked the Miasm haunting you in FFCC but I would have liked online PSO style and that when you went back to places the story they told at the beginning progressed.
Title: RE: Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
Post by: eljefe on July 26, 2006, 04:44:11 PM
knowing what I know now..

wiisports
madden 07
trauma center
warioware
wiimusic

...and a few made-for-VC indie games if they're cheap enough to fit my budget. The real question should be, if you can only get ONE GAME what would it be, so far?

For me, Madden w/ 4 controllers is the killer app.

Why no TP?

Are you all so cynical and skeptical that you won't even embrace the Zelda goodness? Are you waiting for reviews?

I honestly can't imagine myself NOT buying this game first!

No, I want games that are likely to be different from the current generation, plus I prefer multiplayer games. Also the fact GCN was devoid of good FPS and the Wii seems to be suited to them means Heroes and Red Steel top the list.
