Re: Umbrellla Chronicles
Zack and Wiki
Madden 07 (08 was meh hopefully09 is better)
Medal of Honor 2
Rockstar Table Tennis (like it better than Wii Tennis)
No More Heroes
Raving Rabbids
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Lost Winds
Lego Indiana Jones (multiplat)
Those are just the ones I own or have played.
Then you look at what's coming...
MadWorld
Fatal Frame IV
Spyborgs
Monster Hunter 3
Skate It.
Sonic Annihilation
to name a few and I'm sure that I'll be purcahsing at least 3 on the above list not too mention the games that we don't even know about.
But yeah like the fanboys say Wii has no games *chuckles*
I think the problem lies in 3rd parties aren't making money. See Nintendo can put out games from almost all of thier franchises and expect them to go multiplatium (million) with little to no advertising. A lot of gamers grew up playing their games and their franchises are ICONS.
But if a publisher like Ubi or Capcom or EA, etc. thinks they can just drop one of their games regardless if it's great or not and expect more than 300k+ to buy it with little to no advertising, then they are very dellusional. And this is what I think the problem is with 3rd parties on Wii.
A game like No More Heroes would've benefitted SUBSTATIANLY from advertisements. I mean even a little spot on CARTOON NETWORK (duh!) would've helped this game tremendously.
You can't expect to buy a banner or flash ad on the net and reach people. Most of us that patrol e-space know what we like, will buy or are leaning to. But the market as a whole is bigger than the internet, and a lot of these companies seem to just focus on the interent.
Sure it's cheaper to advertise and could potentially reach more people, but you have to know how to use it it.
