Forums - Gaming - Editorial: Nintendo’s Wii Is The Gaming Industry’s Financial Scapegoat

I predict the Wii still won't have the strongest 3rd party support in the first half of '08...

But it'll have enough for me, combined with the always great 1st party titles...I'll be kept busy until later on in the year, when I expect some good games to start coming.

Crystal Chronicles looks pretty sweet.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Just to say, I'm not disagreeing that the Wii is lacking in good 3rd party games at the moment, but there are certainly some, and there are certainly some more on their way.

-Godfather Wii
-Rayman Raving Rabbids
-Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
-My Sims
-NiGHTS
-No More Heroes
-Zack and Wiki
-Beautiful Katamari (budget title)
-Bully Scholarship Edition (If you played this game last gen you know it will be awesome with Wiimote controls)
-Resident Evil 4 Wii (budget title)
-Final Fantasy CC:CB
-Dragon Blade
-Geometry Wars Galaxies
-Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
-Guitar Hero 3
-Tales of Symphonia: KoR
-Sword of Legendia
-Harvest Moon Wii
-Manhunt 2 (someday)
-Samurai Warriors Katana
-Mercury Meltdown Revolution (budget title)
-Puzzle Quest (budget title)
-Rock Band
-Resident Evil: UC
-Soul Calibur Legends (this may turn out sucky)
-Sadness
-Space Station Tycoon
-Trauma Center
-Trauma Center 2

No, I did not just list every 3rd party Wii game. I only listed the good ones and some of the ones that look like they have potential (there are well over 200 3rd party Wii games made and in development). I'm not by a long shot saying that the Wii has the best 3rd party line up of all time, but it's certainly not looking horrible. Considering that a year ago every 3rd party thought the Wii was a doomed platform and a money-sink I'd say the little guy in white is doing very well.



Thanks naznatips. I was just about to start a list myself, but I think you covered it.

I'd personally add MySims and I will be watching Crossbeam Studios Entertainment with interest and their upcoming games Orb, Thorn, and Darkness.

Very true. I'm always somewhat puzzled when I see people listing games of any consoles as a show of numbers so they list every piece of crap in addition. I always laugh when I see a list go: Death March 3, Apocripha: Reign of Blood, Smurf's Racing, The Wiggles, Soul Wind, The path to advance Mathmatics, Star Fire 6, Martha Stewart's Gardening Adventure, Lothestar Infinity, Tiger Wood Cricket Challenge, Balthar the Destructor, Potty Training for Adults, etc."

I added MySims. I'm interested in Orb, Thorn, and Darkness as well, but I don't think we know enough about them for me to add them to a list of potentially good 3rd party games. I'm sure I missed more than just My Sims. All I did was scroll through the list of Wii games and show the 3rd party ones that were already released and good or caught my eye and had potential.

Yeah, thats why I said I'm interested in the games and didn't say I'd add them to the list.  Because Killzone3 is talking about quality, and we have nothing on those games yet.  But, I thought it'd be worth mentioning they are 3rd party games that are being specifically made for the Wii, that have an interesting story that may have potential.

Why is he not banned yet? This was obvious trolling, especially when everyone that doesn't agree with this horribly biased article is being written off as "wii fanboys." In the weeks that I've lurked/posted, I've seen much more intelligent users get banned for a lot less.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Oh, oh! Naznatips, add Samurai Warriors Katana. I just discovered it the other day, and I think the viedo I saw of it looks sweet.

Edit:  It's finally a departure from the same old Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors gameplay, and only the Wii could do it.

Please stop using facts and logic, it inhibits KillZone3's ability to troll.


 Vgc mentality, if you arent blindly pro wii its trolling. 

 

 

 


And you're not blindly anti-wii? Cmon, this article ignores reality and substitutes its own. It's one of the most biased articles I've read in a while! You've just catagorized wii owner as blind, and that is definitely a troll tactic. There's no reason to to insult an entire fan group!

How have you not been banned for statements like this? And don't freaking think I mean anti-wii statements, I mean stupid blanket statements about entire groups. You're bashing the entire Vgc crowd, and it kind of ticks me off.

I agree with ClaudeLv250. Many others have been banned for much less. Would a mod please scan Killzone3's posts? Tons of flame bait, trolling, blanket statements, etc.
