Forums - Nintendo - 2009 in Review: Wii (56k be wary)

 DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT POST UNTIL I'VE POSTED 5 REPLYS!

This thread is dedicated to the Wii titles released in 2009 in North America.  I apologize now to every Asian, Australian, European and South American member of this community that may be alienated because of this.

Be forewarned this thread is largely a Work In Progress.  Many of the titles initially added to this thread will be already available in retail.  Since this thread is being made in November, titles released later this month and December will be added on a later date.

Let's get started.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Around the Network

The Conduit



Release Date: June 23rd 2009

Developed by High Voltage Software

Published by SEGA

One of the most anticipated titles of 2009, High Voltage Software has a way with public relations.  The Conduit takes place in an alien infested Washington as Agent Ford takes down the Grudge while unraveling government conspiracies.  On top of this betrayal laiden narrative, The Conduit also features of online multiplayer play, Wii Speak support and customizable controls which has made it a favorite among those who enjoy FPS's.

The Munchables



Release Date: May 26th 2009

Developed by Namco Bandai Games

Published by Namco Bandai

Namco Bandai has published games involving the premise of getting larger with level progression.  The Munchables carries on this "tradition" with a colorful action platformer that munches and crunches on things big and small.

Tenchu: Shadow Assassins

Release Date: February 5th 2009

Developed by Acquire

Published by Ubisoft

A return to form for the Tenchu series.  The original team behind the first Tenchu brings us Stealth Ninja Action on Wii.  With nice, yet somewhat misplaced voice acting, respectable visuals and a solid core, anyone willing to fill the shoes of a ninja can't go wrong.

Marble Saga: Kororinpa




Release Date: March 17th 2009

Developed by Hudson Soft

Published by Konami

The second game in the Marble Saga series has balls doing all sorts of crazy things.  At a modest price point and clever level design, it's quite irresistable.  Marbles are fun.  Tilting marbles around and the option of Wi-Fi is even better.

Excitebots: Trick Racing




Release Date: April 20th 2009

Developed by Monster Games

Published by Nintendo

The second game released on Wii in the Excite series is quite possibly the series best.  Excitebots: Trick Racing truly is racing redefined as you use one of a dozen animal-esque robots and speed through quick mini-games, a challenging single play and Wi-Fi play that's simply crazy.  A game among games.

Punch-Out!!




Released Date: May 18th 2009

Developed by Next Level Games

Published by Nintendo

Nintendo's Heavyweight(well Heavyweight in our eyes) is back in a big way.  With an exhibition, multiplayer, and a slew of others, Punch-out!! has enough to entertain just about every former Champion or Champion in training.

New Play Control! Pikmin



Release Date: March 9th 2009

Developed by Nintendo EAD

Pulbished by Nintendo

The Gamecube classic is back.  Once again, players are to help Captain Olimar repair the Dolphin and get off an alien planet with nothing more than a shell of a ship and very helpful locals.  With new Wii remote IR control, it's a good indicator of things to come.

We Ski and Snowboard



Release Date: March 3rd 2009

Developed by Namco Bandai Games

Published by Namco Bandai

The Sequel to the family-friendly ski gaming.  One obvious addition, Snowboarding, and Support for the Wii Balance Board make the way downhill worthwhile for all ages.

Release Date: May 5th 2009

Developed by Paon Corporation

Published by Namco Bandai

Action Platforming in 2D has found a home in the form of the Wii's Virtual Console.  Despite this, here we have Klonoa.  This remake to the PS1 classic features upgraded visuals and new voicework.  At the $29.99 price tag, it's hard to go wrong.

Dawn of Discovery



Release Date: June 23rd 2009

Developed by Sunflower Interactive

Published by Ubisoft

A top view sim about resource management, discovery and gaining territory.  Nothing out of the ordinary here but Dawn of Discover does it well and is worthy of being in your collection.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
