What I think is great about this game, and Little King's Story, is that they are real quality games.

Other good third party games on Wii, like de Blob, Boom Blox, and to a certain degree Zack and Wiki, are games that would never be considered good on another platform. They're minigames. They're fun, but by no means real quality titles.

This game might be. It's original, and a full game. I'm just hoping it has a story that's longer than 6 hours.

 

 


None of the games you mentioned are minigames and you have no idea what a minigame is.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Waiting for reviews. If it gets above an 8 and I have money then absolutely. If not then wait for some pricedrops and in mid 2009 I'll pick it up.

Oh btw the Wii version is called the Spore Wars not Rise of the Fungi: that's the DS version.

 Boom Blox is a mini-game. In a way, Zack and Wiki is a mini-game. Well, a mini-puzzle-game if you prefer that then.

de Blob isn't really a mini game, I agree with that, but still, you get my point, right?

I've been interested since it was announced, even if it looks kind of lame, at the same time it looks interesting so i think i'll buy it.

It's impossible to get points that aren't made.

You obviously haven't played Z&W or Boom Blox.  Unless you consider Tetris, Meteos, Peggle, and Lumines 'mini-games', Boom Blox is absolutely not one.  It has an incredible amount of depth, a lengthy story mode, many different modes of play, and is highly challenging even over periods of many hours.

Zack and Wiki... *facepalm*  Phoenix Wright, Discworld, Monkey Island all say hi.

 

You get my point, right?

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

trestes, stof, you are forgetting what the Wii does with game sales for original games. If it doesn't start off strong, give it time.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

 Crap, I had typed up this relatively long post explaining what I didn't like about Z&W and Boom Blox, and why they, despite that I like them, are bad games. I also mean something entirely different than you when I say mini-game, at least assuming I now understand what you put in it.

Then Opera suddenly said that it had to be closed and everything disappeared. Great -.-

I guess the word "mini-game" makes a lot of people think I'm attacking games here.

My point was, that even though they're a heck of a lot of fun (well, at least Zack and Wiki), they feel more like user-created games on the PC, with some odd flaws and totally unbalanced difficulty.
