Some nice stuff for the Wii upcoming...

[Slew Foot]

Between Madden 08, Metroid, Space Station Tycoon (I might be the only one who's looking forward to this), Umbrella Chronicles, DDR, and Mario Galaxy, there are some nice titles coming out before the end of the year. What else are you looking forward to?

 

[JPB]

Smash Brothers Brawl
Final Fantasy The Crystal Bearers
Soul Calibur Legends

I have my fingers crossed that the olympics game won't be a turd.

I have high Hopes for Metroid, Mario Galaxy, and SSBB (my most anticipated game of '07), and I might pick up RE: UC and FF: Crystal Bearers if there are any good as well.

i agree with all the posts made in this thread

only thing that looks somewhat decent is Metroid Prime. If Mario Galaxy stays with that "no gravity on little planet" gameplay I am going to pass on it.

MP3 is the make it or break it for me as to whether I'm going to keep my Wii or not.

Most of what Ive seen of mario takes place on huge planets rather than tiny ones.

Duh, forgot about Brawl, though honestly, thats not my favorite type of game.

Early next year gives us Fire Emblem, and Dragon Quest Swords, both which have some potential.

Since I bought my Wii about four months ago, a 360 next month, and a PS3 the month after. Eventually, this list here is my to own checklist.....

I sold my Gamecube back in the day, and all my games with it. So the Gamecube list is a must have for me since the Wii will play them.

Maybe, you haven't heard about Wii Fit yet. I think this one could make some more people take a closer look at Wii, I mean the non-gamers.

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

MP3 is the make it or break it for me as to whether I'm going to keep my Wii or not.

Smash Bros Brawl alone makes it worth it to me, even without all the other great games.

 

[randomlinh]

I'm curious as to how developers might use the wiifit board. It should be interesting, hopefully.

SSBB, MP3... they are my next big list. DDR to an extent.

Hopefully it brings back the magic of Track n Field 2 of the original NES. Imagine Javelin throws, Gymnastics, Hurdles, etc. Using fitness beams with Wiimotes

I can't believe none of you noobs even mentioned Mario Kart!!! Did you see the wheel peripheral that comes with the game!?!?!?

MP: Corruption is the only real reason I am buying a Wii though. Galaxy, Legends, MKart & Zelda all look good too though.

Technically, the wheel peripheral already came out at launch for a dog of a game called GT racing Pro or something. MK is due out next year sometime though and looks like its going to port over alot of the DS tracks.

As much as I love the Wii, I think the Wii board is stupid. Nintendo is going to have to wow me over with that one. Though to give them credit, I thought the DS was stupid too.

WOW, for a geek like me this sounds neat. Only thing better would be an original Star Wars version.

 

[YoungGun21]

FIFA 08
The Simpsons Game
Mario Kart

I really want a Star Wars game too... that would be awesome.

Wow I can't believe I forgot to list Mario Kart!

If it's anything like Battlestations: Midway in space, I'd buy it even though I'm not a Star Trek fan. Battlestations: Midway is one of the best 360 games out... very underrated.

If they have the javelin throw, I forsee a lot more broken TVs. :laugh: But that's a great event to take advantage of the Wii remote.

I'm still hesitant about the use of motion controls when normal analog + buttons work just fine.
