| pariz said: All of the games the OP pointed out are 3D platformers (if we consider Zelda's to be partially that, which I can't), but none are 2D. I just can remember Yoshi's Island and Mischief Makers to be 2D, and though there may have been a few more, that subgenre was not N64's strength. Wii has lots of excellent 2D and 3D platformers and I think it has already beaten the N64 in that regard. What Wii has still to be proven is in original and imaginative games as Wave Race 64, Pilot Wings 64, Blast Corps and so on. |
Well it kinda has a mini-wave race... and considering there is no other game like Blast Corps the Wii can hardly be faulted.
However if you are talking "original and imaginative" games in general I would say the Wii has them in spades, way more than the N64.
First and foremost for me, a pair of gems for the generation with Endless Ocean 1 and 2.
I would say Red Steel 2 and Metroid: Other M each have a unique gameplay concept.
Or Deadly Creatures for example on the unique and original story.... similarly for No More Heroes.
It also made point & click adventure more popular.
And WiiWare is full of original and imaginitive titles.
I will agree nothing quite as unusual as Blast Corps, but like I said, there isn't much to compare BC to on any other console.... Endless Ocean has become my Pilotwings this gen, while Wave Race wasn't hugely imaginitive anyway, just a really nice setting for a racing game.
I would sure love new versions of all those 3 games though... as well as an F-Zero.
