Forums - Gaming Discussion - Your number 1 'sleeper' title for this year

Prototype is the sleeper hit, not a sequel and not being hyped much.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

De Blob.

This will be a critical hit I predict, but won't sell much.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

I think Okami Wii, Wii Music, Wii Animal Crossing all stand a chance of being sleeper hits, I would say Spore as well because there isn't much hype around that at the moment.

Spore? You mean GOTY at E3 for 3 years Spore? Will Wright's Spore? EA financed and will probably be immensely marketed Spore? Coming out in different versions on PC, Wii, DS and iphone Spore? I think this game is the definition of the anti sleeper hit.

Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon... developed by the tri-Cresendo, the same guys who did Baten Kaitos series and Eternal Sonata.

This is the third party game for the Wii that I'm waiting.


Won't be out this year.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Okami wii,Boom blox.

I'd say at least two new IPs on the Wii will become "sleeper hits" - enough that they become franchises.

Pick two from any of the following: Mushroom Men, Deadly Creatures, Blast Works, Bloom Blox, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Okami Wii, Fragile, Monster Lab, de Blob. My money's on Deadly Creatures, Mushroom Men, and Monster Lab, personally.

Also, several WiiWare titles have the makings of cult hits: Eternity's Child, LIT, Shantae 2, and LostWinds in particular.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
