Forums - Nintendo - Wii misses out again!

If people really want those types of games, they will buy those consoles... Realistically, since before launch, we knew what types of games the Wii would get - if you weren't in denial.

Apperantly, 48.6 % of current generation console owners prefer the types of games on Wii and 51.4% prefer common types of HD games.  Of course there is some crossover like people who own more than one (me) or people who enjoy the casualish titles on the HD consoles (Sing Star, Guitar Hero, Puzzle Games, etc.) or core games on Wii (Mario Galaxy, No More Heroes, etc.)

As Nordlead said: Punch-Out isn't on another console.  I will add that Mario, Zelda, No More Heroes (a super hero sandbox game), (good versions of) Rabbids, Smash Bros., Lost Winds, World of Goo, Zach and Wiki, Metroid, Little King Story, Boom Blox, Excite, FF: CC games, Fire Emblem, Blast Works, Nights, House of the Dead, Conduit, Klonoa, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Music, EA Active, MySims, Deadly Creatures off the top of my head.

These games may not be what you like, but apparently they sell Wii consoles... If you don't like these types of games, trade in your Wii and get a 360 or PS3.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

he wants deep game play and that's what the PC can offer him, much better than any console when it comes to that.


Well this is a discussion about consoles.

Are you looking at the PC library as a whole or as of recent? Because I've played a ton of great PC games over the years but recently there hasn't been many great PC exclusives.

only that every multi-plat game on PC is better, with added features on some(Mass Effect is one good example of it,) and the only real non-gimped choice for RTS because of the controls and complexity, which I can say about shooters too, western games on PC will always be better. I only bother to get some 360 games I'm interested in if I know there is no PC version like Assasin's Creed or JRPGs and such, I'd rather the Wii have more RTS because of the pointer controls, but it still won't beat the ability to have massive selection of hot keys on keyboards to micro manage everything. it's just a better experience overall, but if you have no mula, then it can't be helped =/.

Superhero sandbox game?

Oh, we have one of those.



Protagonist (Layle) is a (super)hero - check

Open world - check

NPC are influenced based on on things you do - check

There you go.

So, now it's not a RPG?

and I just found out Assasin's Creed is on PC too, damn it, another 360 game to sell to gamestop.

1. PC gaming is great is you invest money into the hardware (And you don't have compatibility issues).

2. If I wanna do split screen gaming would you recommend the PC?

3. A lot of games I really enjoy won't be found on the PC.

4. RTS obviously has advantages on the PC, but console ports are functional and still fun.

5. The few games games found on both 360 and PC are typically better on the PC. But the 360 versions are still great even if not the overall best. Most importantly the PC doesn't have the 360 games I really enjoy.

6. An advantage the joystick will always have is I can hold it in my hands and sit back. Unless I'm sitting at a desk a keyboard and mouse isn't conventional.

I could buy a high end PC. But the 360 has a ton of games I enjoy and the PC only has a few exclusives I care about.

1. hence I said if you have no mula, then I can't help you

2. I'd recommend the Wii

3. list them, and no shooters or JRPG, or the abomination that is Fable2, if you list Castle Crushers, that game rocks.

4. I simply want to recommend to you the best way to enjoy them, because I'm a nice guy, not trying to say 360 sucks =P

5. list them already lol wtf

6. you know what I do in that situation? I unplug the 360 controller from the 360, plug it into the PC, viola! yes, the wireless ones do work as well.

You've been out of the PC game for awhile, are you really sure? I mean, you gotta pay for live and games are like 60 bucks man, in the long run, you'd probably save more money, but you probably have already spend so much.

Wow, The Conduit and Punch Out? I hope I don't twist my ankle running to store for those.

I'm sure those are/will be fine games but the Wii is best for casual gamers. I need games that offer more immersive game play. That's a huge reason why people buy HD consoles.

No More Heroes 2

Red Steel 2

Ougon no Kizuna

Fire Emblem

Tales of Graces

Monster Hunter 3

Dragon Quest X

Endless Ocean

Zelda

Little King's Story


 

Meh... not my style. Perhaps they will port Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fable, and Mass Effect for the Wii. *fingers crossed*

Recently I've been playing a lot of RTS on my 360. C&C series and Halo Wars. Wii offer anything in that genre?

Dude, do you play video games or just WRPGs?

It's an RPG...with superhero sandbox elements :)

So it's not a sandbox game, because you earn experience and level up skills in inFamous as well.
