Wii games for 2008

[benjaminwillcock]

2008 will be a great year for the Wii, there's a huge bunch of titles coming we don't even know about yet from Nintendo and even many 3rd parties. I don't know why a few on here have said the PS3/360 have marginally better games coming out, the only one I was really looking forward to was Fable 2, oh and RE5.

But with the 360 and PS3's recent track record of incredible game hype and hardly any payoff (look at Lair, Heavenly Sword, Halo 3 etc) I am not too bothered about what games the HD systems have coming out, but I do think the Wii will have an even better year than its first, with many 3rd party developers really focussing on the Wii now it's the clear generation leader.

Remember, the reason most 3rd party games were disappointing on the Wii (well all systems really, but mainly the Wii) was that when many of them began development the Wii seemed nothing more than a fad that wouldn't last two minutes. Now there's no question of its longevity and continued success, I think we'll see a dramatic upswing in their support and overall quality of product as the year progresses.

Year one for the Wii produced some true gems: Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario, Twilight Princess, Guitar Hero 3, Zack & Wiki, RE4, Wii Sports, Mario Strikers Charged and a handful of other great games such as WarioWare, Super Monkey Ball, Trauma Centre, Mario & Sonic and more. 2008 should be awesome.
