Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii games for 2008

I'm not seeing a lot of games to be released in 2008 for the Wii that look that that good.  There is probably only a handfull of games that seam interesting.  I'm sure SSBB will be good and the Fit will sell like hotcakes, but I'm not seeing any games like what I see for the 360 and PS3.  Fill me in on what you think will be good for the Wii in 2008.

 Carlos has already given the long list, but there are three confirmed AAA titles and one rumored one.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl: This is bigger than every PS3/360 game but GTA IV next year.
Super Mario Kart: Same.
Wii Fit: Difficult to say how big this is. It's already approaching 1 million in Japan, and unless it really tanks in the US/EU is likely to be at least a 2 million seller.

Possible:

Animal Crossing. Not only is this only rumored, but it's not clear how well a console animal crossing can perform. It's strongest iteration has been on portables thus far, but its console iteration did better than  Killzone 1, Resistance 1, and many other supposed "AAA titles," and its more recent portable incarnation outsold every major game with a sequel next year save GTA. 

 

The other stuff Carlos mentioned is either AA, or quirky, interesting stuff that fleshes out a system's library. I'd say the PS3/360 have more big titles, but when it comes to "absolutely enormous, sells 6+ million" titles, the Wii may actually have more games next year than either of the other two systems.

It's not as good as the 360/PS3, but it can hold it's own.

Good analysis. Personally I'm huge on quirky games and RPGs, so next year is looking like a much better year for me on the Wii than this year was. I'll take a cute quirky game like King's Story and an artistic game like Oboro Muramasa (Odin Sphere 2) over a big violent GTA game any day. ^_^

In general though I have to say the release lists for the 3 systems are much more balanced next year than they were this year. This year the 360 had a huge advantage in AAA games, with the Wii and PS3 lagging behind, but next year it's much more equally distributed and it will be interesting to see which group of gamers supports their heavy hitters the most on a relatively equal playing field.

Well the problem doesnt seem to be good wii games in 2008, the problem seems to be your narrow desire of games. You just dont want a lot of the games that will be coming out. Im sure there will be games that will appeal to you more and more as time goes on. No worries.

darklich, looks like you've got quite a few in that list that you want.. i'm getting (for sure) mario kart, smash bros.. (and depending on feedback) disaster, redsteel 2, wii fit, wii music, force unleashed.. but that is already more games i've ever owned during any other consoles entire lifespan, so i probably would only be getting the first two and 2 or 3 max of the maybe games
