Agreed. Would love to see a sequel on the Wii U.

The Conduit


I have HoD for PS3, have played RE:UC not sure if I would buy maybe when I go to US and see it at a good price I'll pick.... the Conduit I don't remember.

The Conduit is probably the most hardcore shooter on the Wii. Quite challanging, but it's probably the console shooter with the most options for control, ranging from X and Y axis sensitivity, to re-arranging HUD elements, HUD transperancy, speed of the Wiimote controls, etc...

I'm not much on to shooters (bought Wii more for the great platformers), aint Conduit a rail shooter??? Well If I find it in a nice price I'll give it a try.

It's a First person shooter. Nunchuck to move, Wiimote to look.

Why not just get a Wii U and have all those Wii games plus the new Wii U titles? :/

 

Anyways, nice collection so far.


Because I'm waiting for the console to go around 200,00 to buy it. And won't buy the digital re-releases anyway.

the wii u is backwards compatible with wii games so no need to buy digital plus wii games look a little bit sharper and cleaner when played on wii u.

Wii games look awful when played on wii u. At least.on my tv anyway virtually unplayable

Or maybe just wii games look.awful not necessarily when on wii u

Last Story, Little Kings Story, Zack and Wiki, Umbrella & Darkside Chronicles. 

Other than what you mentioned, those are some great games. 


Got mentions of them, probably will bag them.


My bad, didn't go through all 17 pages lol. I'll try to think of more. Most of those I mentioned you can pick up pretty cheap. 


No problem. More mentions probably will enhance the likelihood of buying.

Since I have very few point and click games over my life and it seems like it have a good challenge I'll look for it.

If you can find it, Battalion Wars II

If you like exploration maybe look into Endless Ocean 1&2.

Also, maybe it's just my taste, but I am gonna have to downvote on MadWorld, definitely my least favourite Wii game I played... It looks great, and it was neat trying out the different styles of kills the first few times, but I thought it got boring about half-way through (which is about 2 hours in). I am not the biggest fan of beat-em-up or hack'n'slash type games though, so perhaps I am not the best judge. (No More Heroes I liked though, and thought it got better and better as the game went on)


Highlights from Battalion Wars and Endless Ocean (heard good about ocean)

Uhnnn I'm into both genres, so maybe I'll like it =]

Battalion Wars is a strategic third person shooter where you can switch control to any unit in your squad and direct and command all the other units. Your squad (or battalion) can include anything from basic infantry through special commandos to various land, sea and air units... so depending on the situation you may want to be on point in a big tank making sure you protect the main squad while you tell the anti-air units to keep enemy aircraft off your back... or you could take more of a commanders role and stay at the back while directing groups of units to where they are most useful.

Endless Ocean is basically a diving experience sim, it's not really a goal oriented game and is more about exploring the environment. The first game does have a kind of endgame goal but you could get to it in 4-5 hours and you would still have 90%+ of the game to explore... Endless Ocean 2 is quite a bit more story oriented, but once you have opened up all the areas (which can probably be done in under 10 hours, but I am not sure by how much as I like to explore) it is still much more focussed on exploration.

They all also have online play... but I am not sure if it is available anymore... the Endless Ocean online is a 2 person friend invite system so if it does still allow you to play online it can still be a neat experience (if you do get Endless Ocean 2 I would be happy to show you around as a guide... the first game had region locked online so I wouldn't be able to dive with you)... Battalion Wars also has a 2p friend invite as well as a random player option, but due to poor sales the random online was dead a few months after it came out.


War strategy simulation... Seems good enough to try.

Not much into exploration... Too many games and too few time to play this type of game but if the gameplay is easy and look is pleasant I may pick for my wife to play with our newborn looking.

This kind of makes no sense unless you don't have the money for a Wii U. If you paid $100(or near that) for a Wii and want to pay $200 for a Wii U,  thats $300. The cost of a Wii U now.

I collect system (and paid 75 with 8 games, one being papermario and 3 Just dances) so the Wii price was good. I have the money for the WiiU, but since I don't see the worthy of WiiU to my needs at the moment being over 200 I'll wait a little longer and use my money on older and cheaper games.
