Forums - Nintendo - Besides Brawl and Kart, What are the Wii's mega-hits in 2008?

Alot of Wii's "bigger titles" in 2008 probably will be announced at either E3 or individual companies "Gamer Day" type events. Although we do know a few already:

Fatal Frame IV
ToS 2
Wii Fit
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Monster Hunter 3(possibly in Japan for 08)
FFCC:TCB(possibly in Japan for 08)

And there are a lot more titles that I wouldn't call mega hits but should really still be big and help the lineup. I can't speculate what else will be announced but I do know titles such as Red Steel 2, Pikmin 3, and a few more will probably really pump up that lineup.

I think with the currently lackluster launch schedule, there's bound to a slew of announcements this year!
KH 3, next Metroid, Starfox and perhaps a new Zelda may be among them as well as Wii Play and Wii Sports 2!
I also have the feeling we'll be show a new Mario RPG this year, possibly at E3.

I would hate playing Kingdom Hearts while waving my arm around... too many shadows at times in that game. Do another 1000 heartless battle and watch as your arm falls off. Multiplatform? I could live with that, but Wii controls only? It may end up as something I can't finish. I couldn't even finish Zelda while playing that way.

Anyways, I would absolutely love a new Mario RPG and I am talking "Legend of the Seven Stars" type of RPG. :)



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

^ Really?????? I loved the Zelda controls.... I tried playing OoT and TP for the GC after that and it was weird....



 

If bloom box turns out to be any good it will be THE Break out new IP of 08... sales wise at least... Speilberg + Casuals = $$$



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

I haven't heard of quite a few of these but bloom box sounds interesting. Anyone know if there are any solid details on a Red Steel 2? I know the game took a lot of heat from the haters but I enjoyed it...



I hate trolls.

Systems I currently own:  360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong.  Yes, Pong.

I hadn't heard about de blob having headtracking. Links?



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

He probally confused de blob with Boomblox on the headtracking comment, cant find any information on de blob headtracking anywhere.
