Forums - Nintendo - Are you buying any new budget games this year (Wii)?

kn on 17 August 2007

There's usually a reason they are budget priced but admittedly there are a few in there that are interesting. Rockstar table tennis is interesting in that it is currently 19.95 new at gamestop. I think $40 for that game isn't exactly budget...

That'd put a lot of these games as nonbudget then. NBM is a PS2 port. I'm sure that could be found for $10. Toss in the motion controls & R* TT becomes a totally different game. The WiiPlay version of TT was crap so I'm really looking forward to a legit TT game for the Wii.

That being said, where the eff  is my minigolf Wii game?



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

Yes, the motion controls add some to the experience, no doubt, but that's only if they are legitimately implemented and not tacked on as a fast cash-grabbing port. I'm afraid a bunch of these will be the latter. I'm fine with the price if they actually take time to properly implement the controller AND beef up the graphics as we KNOW the Wii is quite a bit more powerful than the PS2... Games need to start showing it.

Huh, I didn't realize there was a Disney Princesses game being made aimed for 4 - 8 year olds. My daughter should like that.
