Why dont you guys agree on disagreeing and leave it alone?

Also, why argue with a guy who just opened this account to troll this thread?

You guys need to relax a bit.

Because some people enjoy spirited debate, I'd imagine. And I opened my account several days before this thread even existed.

Spirited debate? Okay, Monster Hunter Tri kicks the shit outta Demon's Souls. One million Japanese can't be wrong.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it. Wii Fit gave me more of a unique gaming experience than any game mentioned in this thread.

And Shaun White Wii is the most hardcore snowboarding game.

He is right. The Wii has the best games in 2010. No real gamer can denial that. Zelda, Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Other M, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Monster Hunter 3, Epic Mickey, Xenoblade, Pikmin 3, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 2, Trackmania, Arc Rise Fantasia, Fragile Dreams, Tales of Graces etc. etc.

Okay. Gamers who enjoy only shooters will never be pleased with the Wii Line-Up. Gamers who like good games, need a Wii in 2010.

Oh goodness. Let's narrow this down a bit. Of the games you listed, several are:

Games that aren't out yet, and therefore irrelevant to whether or not the last few years have been a dry spell for the Wii:

metroid: Other M, super mario galaxy2, zelda: wii, pikmin 3

Games that are the three games I've already mentioned:

Super mario galaxy, Zelda: the twilight princess, metroid prime 3

Games that are really just GameCube games (Twilight Princess arguably belongs in this category, but I'll be nice and pretend it doesn't):

metroid prime trilogy

Games that are almost identical to GameCube games:

Smash bros, mario kart wii

What about Wii Super Smash makes it worth buying for someone who already has GameCube Super Smash? I'll give you a hint: nothing. Certainly nothing qualifies it for greatness.

That leaves a hard core of six games that you claim to be "great":

no more heroes 2, Little King's story, Cave story, world of goo, Punch out, monster hunter 3

Monster Hunter Tri is by all accounts a fine game, but seriously - you're comparing it to Demon's Souls or Oblivion? WTF. Same goes for Little King's Story.

The other games you mention are even more baffling: Punch Out is a mindless nostalgiamobile, No More Heroes 2 is worth no more than a weekend rental, World of Goo is nothing compared to Portal.

Cave Story is a legitimately great game. I'll give you that one.

I see no reason to exclude some of the greatest games this gen.

I do: they're not great games. They range from good all the way down to mediocre. If you could only choose one game to take with you on a deserted island you'd be absolutely crazy to pick any of these.

What makes anyone want to buy a fps gen? They're all the same.¨

^ That's your reasoning. I see no difference between Halo 2 and Halo 3. At least not more then smash bros brawl and mario kart wii. Stop trolling.

Mario kart wii is totally differen then mario kart double dash. Might want to play them again? Same goes for smash bros brawl.

No more heroes 2 is better then most games I've played on a ps3. You see, games are subjective, get the fuck over it. MGS4 is not worth more then a rent also then. All the games I listed were/are going to be amazing. I didn't list mediocre games.

And who are you to say that world of goo is better then portal? Reviews certainly don't say that.

And you call everyone crazy that would pick a zelda/metroid/mario game over Halo or demons soul? LOL

Demon soul is a mediocre game compared to the greatness that is zelda. Or compared to the greatness of a Mario platformer.

Ps: The reason why I listed games that aren't released yet is to show that Zelda/Metroid/Mario is enough reason to buy a wii. We all know they will be good because Nintendo is making them and they don't rape their franchises(crash bandicoot and sonic spring to mind)

You're right about demon soul though. Little king story and monster hunter 3 are a lot better. I shouldn't have compared them.
