Forums - Nintendo - Wiisistance is futile, Wiimageddon is almost upon us...

LOL don't worry my friend ;) We're here on the world to help each other isn't? Yes this thread surely belongs to the Nintendo Discussion forum, don't see another perfect place to put it down.

With the exception of several titles from which the release dates are so far unknown, the line up is still "pretty" strong. WII owners will surely have a magical holiday, including myself :D

Not that surprising. The biggest hitter, SSBB, was delayed (one more month!). SSBB is looking like even more of a monster than it did four months ago, thanks to all the dojo updates. Super Mario Galaxy lived up to expectations and then some. I was disappointed with BWii and Nights but pleasantly surprised by Z&W. Guitar Hero delivered (in mono). I'm still looking forward to No More Heroes even though reviews are mixed.

The biggest game, but not (?) a game, seems to be Wii Fit. Non-gaming revitalizing gaming in Japan seems to be the case going by the last few weeks. I fully expect it to have a huge run and to be another system seller like Wii Sports when released in the rest of the world.

The other games that were delayed (or just wishful thinking) will probably be released this year or next. I'm crossing my fingers for a MMO Animal Crossing. And I'm still wondering if Wii Music will be something like GH/Rock Band or something a bit different.

The Wii continues to set sales records without a lot of hardcore traditional games. It's apparent that the real attraction of the Wii for many is mainly Wii Sports and to a lesser extent mini-game collections like Carnival Games and Mario & Sonic. The other trend that is becoming more clear is the Wii is capable of moving more traditional software, i.e., the sales of SMG and GH. Signs point to continuing "Wiimageddon" for console gaming. Wiisistance is futile.



* - Sword of Legendia (only in Soriku's dreams)

heh

btw, the famitsu scores for the two you have "famitsu Reviewed?" are as follows
No More Heroes 9889
Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon 8898



Are those from metacritic/gamerankings?

good lord that just proves (to me) those sites are absolute w@%k Endless Ocean has almost immediately become one of my favourite games.... bare in mind I am not biased, i can see it's flaws... I would give it 88/89.

 Yes, metacritic. I can't wait to see what Wii Fit gets. I'm also looking forward to Endless Ocean, and damn the rankings!



Around the Network

Wii Fit = multi million seller
Wii Fit also = 68 on metacritic (that is my guess of what it will get)

Except I think the lineup of both other consoles is better for the rest of the year.

It's only Wiimageddon to people who believe what you believe same way some people think the end of the world can come at any moment. It's reality to them.

 Wii fit will likely trump the PS3/360 lineups



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Yes to the first.

Higher to the second.  I think it will come in as did Wii Sports as a 76.  New and different.  Versus the Wii Play (58) which was considered a Wii Sports clone.  (Though net cost of the game should have given it an extra 10 points!) 

 



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.

Who said there was anything wrong with wearing a cowboy hat?



"Like you know"

You forgot RE:UC on that list. I got it yesterday, and it is 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 )
