Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Wii Gets 138 games in NA between now and Christmas

I think if someone does the same type of list for PS3/X360 it will pretty much have the same Quality to Shovelware ratio. I mean the xmas season upon us, so yeah...



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

I will purchase absolute none of those Wii games.

And how many of those games are actually worth purchasing? I'd wager around a dozen or so at the most. The inevitability of being market leader; massive support, of all kind, including heaps of crap.
Just look at the PS2, I think I own a little over 60 PS2 games and there are only a handful I miss not having from those thousands of titles, and that speaks voulmes of market leaders' game library and its quality.

 

AGREED. Last gen you couldn't go into a store without tripping over a PS2 game. Market Leader=More software. My problem is my pocketbook can't accomidate all the 12 or so quality games I wanna get. *tear*

Gaddamn, this is gonna be a busy Fall season between work, university, social life, and GAMING...  Of all those games, I'm interested in:

9/22 - Wario Land: Shake It!  (MUST HAVE)

10/1 - Monster Lab

11/11 - Mushroom Men

          - Call of Duty: World at War

11/18 - Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World    (MUST HAVE)

          - Tomb Raider Underground

12/2 - Rygar: The Battle of Argum

12/15 - Little King's Story

12/22 - Deadly Creatures

Here's hoping Little King's Story and Deadly Creatures get delayed to Q1 2009.  I doubt Rygar will make it out this year too.  We shall see.  But even if half of those games turn out well, this is gonna be a very great Autumn for the Wii!

99% of those 138 arent even worth mentioning probably since they'll suck so bad.

wow, I can see your biased. 1% means I only need to mention 1.3 games, but I can easily do that by mentioning two

Guitar Hero: World Tour
Ghostbusters: The Video Game

and that is from the absolute worst month for good games, and both of them will be on other systems too, and I'm sure you would champion those as great games for whatever system you like. Overall I can see at least 20 games that are definitly worth purchasing, even if I may only buy 3-4 of them.

being the market leader means you get tons of crap too, but it doesn't mean every game sucks.

 

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
In the past we played games. In the future we watch games. - Forest-Spirit
11/03/09 Desposit: Mod Bribery (RolStoppable)  vg$ 500.00
06/03/09 Purchase: Moderator Privilege  vg$ -50,000.00

I love how people are going "meh, it's all shovelware" but I can tell without even looking that it's going to average out to 1 top quality game each month and about 4 solid games along with that.
Sorry, but when you think about it, Gamecube barely had any shovelware at all, but the simple fact was not enough games were coming out each month. This is now what is happening for the PS3 and 360. Lots of huge budget, big name titles, but just simply not enough games to bring either system back up on top.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Only an idiot would expect all 138 titles to be all blockbusters anyway. There's are a few potential gems in that list of upcoming games - only the most jaded haters would refuse to recognize that.



Quick, someone calculate the shovelware to "qualityware" ratio for the PS2's 7,000+ titles.

Give me a frikkin break people. Get off the hypocritical shovelware angle.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

138 titles hmmm?  Maybe a few good ones in there but besides those .....

 



"there is a large quantity of children's titles, such as dora, or go deigo go"

DORA = System Seller!
