Forums - Nintendo - 2009 = Wii's Best Year So Far?

Is 2009 the Wii's best year? Or is it too early to tell?

 

Already we've had great games like Madworld, Swords and Soldiers, Little King's Story, The Conduit, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Cursed Mountain, Rune Factory, and Muramasa.

 

and coming soon are sure-to-be great games: Fragile, The Crystal Bearers, Silent Hill, A Boy and His Blob and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

 

Be sure to add the games you've loved so far this year.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

2007 was better cause of SMG and SSBB



@coolestguyever
But Brawl was 2008, not 2007. MP3 however was 2007.

Phantom Brave is a good quality game that was released this year. It has a good amount of content too. The only point against it is that it was a port of a PS2 game. I also got a few Japanese games like Fragile and Monster Hunter 3. So yep, this year was the best so far for me. At the end it should be better when we see some more quality 1st party titles. Next year should be amazing for Wii though, with many of the announced 1st part titles at E3, and quite a few 3rd party ones.

If that is your bar for "great", you might as well throw in Sonic and the Black Knight. First half of 2009 was very similar to second half of 2008, minus the awesomeness of a Wario Land. But the next four months do look indeed very promising.

What game did I include that you have a problem with Rol? Cursed Mountain? Cause many people on this site enjoy it greatly.

All of them, except MPT and NSMB Wii.

But maybe it's my fault because when I read "great" I think of must play games, not just good ones.

I never like it when people have high standards like that. Just becuase a game doesn't score in the high 9's doesn't mean it's completely not worth mentioning/playing. But maybe you're right, maybe I shouldn't have qualified my statement by saying "great."


But let's get back to the topic at hand, is 2009 the wii's best year? What do you think Rol?

No, 2008 was that, even with such a shoddy second half. 2009 should be by the end of the year, unless I'm completely wrong and somehow Nintendo f' up NSMB:Wii. They won't though. NSMB:Wii + Wii Sports Resort = win.

Though since this is more about personal preference, Crystal Chronicles may make it my personal best year, and it's also clear that developers are taking Wii more seriously (even if the increase in quality titles is building up slowly).



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
