Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii in 2008 whats in store?

gawalls on 13 December 2007

After a successfull 2007 for the Wii and selling on mainly it's brand name alone - this has become it's plus point as a new demograph of people wait for the Wii without comprimise it seems yet this has also become a reason why it gets a lot of stick for poor third party support with 2007 coining new phrases such as "Wiikend Warriors", "OAP Gamers" etc.

 

With SSBB, Mario Kart and promises of MMO titles ie animal crossing getting released in 2008  - my question is does anyone think 2008 may be a year when more (dare I add a label) "Hardcore" gamers get attracted to the Wii platform and at some point in 08 does anyone think they'll be a point when there's more third party million sellers than Nintendo million sellers?



Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are... 

"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

It really needs more diversity in games and more good thirdparty games to attract me. I am one of many people who have not bought nextgen console yet.

thats why i'm so annoyed with EA and Heroes 2, dont get me wrong i'm gonna buy it when it gets released in UK but they added great controls apparently, 32 player online 3 different modes then base it on bloody WW2 again!!

Too many war games and why EA - you were 90% of the way there and stumbled on the last hurdle.

The Wii already has that.  I think he was talking about what is new for 2008, not what came out in 2007.  Although, I am sure another game like that will come out next year. 

 



currently playing: Desktop Tower Defense (PC), Puzzle Quest (DS), Trauma Center New Blood (Wii), Guitar Hero III (Wii), Ghost Squad (Wii), Actraiser (SNES), Donkey Kong County (SNES), The Legend of Zelda (NES), Kirby's Adventure (NES)

will play next: Paper Mario (N64), Golden Axe II (Sega), NiGHTS (Wii)

 I don't know.  There were so many good games in 2007 that I cannot afford to buy or even rent them all.  It         kind of bothers me how many good games there are.  I don't even remember so many games that I liked coming out in the PSX days.  I already have 24 games for the Wii but there are many more that I want.  I don't know what to do.  My favorite fighting, shooting, sports, action, adventure, and racing games play on my Wii.  Maybe more RPGs?  I think NA will see more than a dozen RPGs for the Wii next year, so that should be nice.
