actuly the wii is the top selling consol in the world all my freinds are 14 and so am i they all have wii
and to be true there was a survey and people who old like to play it......... controls were never fucked by Nintendo. it was always a game that does that

im certain the conduit will end up like Too Human, they are in way over their heads with their claims of graphics. i've seen ps2 fps-s that look much prettier than anything ive seen from The Conduit.

House of the Dead will probably flop as well. anyone remember playing umbrella chronichles? the accuracy isn't there at all.

most of this article proves why the wii is shit. constantly hoping games contain as little motion control as possible. all the best games for wii are the ones with least motion control: SSBB, No More Heroes, Galaxy and Metroid. all those would work BETTER with a regular gamepad. and shooters are always broken on the wii. the wiimote is horrible. period.

and... shouldnt 14-year-olds know how to spell?

the wii is the top selling console, but you might want to check out the game sales. see what titles are shifting.

as a gamer i am ashamed to say i would love a piece of Imagine's "cazual" pie. '

the wii is a fad, like tamagochi. it barely has any real supporters, and most who bought wiis are the same people who move on to the next new thing.

The only game that interested me was Madworld.

I agree with Cernunnos about the conduit, they're in over their heads. The screenshots didn't look like anything special, all they're trying to do is build hype

*sigh* annoying people. Most of these games are perfectly good games and you bash on them for what reason? Oh. That's right. Your a fanboy. That makes sense. And for those of you who don't think the conduits graphics are anything special look at some of the videos on ign. The screenshot on this article of The Conduit is from way back when no one had even demoed it yet. Stop bashing things you don't understand k?

I think im going to be getting nearly all of these games! I dont see how you could miss out No More Heroes 2 though (which i believe will be released in 2009)
Cant wait for the Conduit and Madworld though!

I bought a PS2 only for the best game ever made, God Hand.
If I wouldn't already own a Wii I'd buy one just for MadWorld.

I would do anything to play Punch-Out!!! again but i just have the money to buy a Wii.
GamesRadarBrettElston  - 10 months 6 days ago 
NMH2 is currently slated for early 2010, that's why it's not on the list.

And Mo_Buttons is on to something - MadWorld could end up being the Wii equivalent of God Hand.

The Conduit looks sweet.
SkullSplitter  - 10 months 6 days ago 
Does anyone seriously think The Conduit will have as good graphics as a PS3/XBox 360 game?
I think they are being very optimistic.
I'm glad I didn't get a wii :)
Phoenix_Gamma  - 10 months 6 days ago 
I hope Fragile comes to America. That game looks pretty intense.
Smash Bro  - 10 months 6 days ago 
Wow. The Conduit isn't out yet? I remember seeing screenshots of that game months ago, and I completely forgot about this good-looking game.

...But now that I think about it, I may have seen the screenshots of Conduit on Gamespy or something. That's probably why...

Dude, I have all three consoles and haven't found any reason to ignore any of them, the onlt downside to the wii is the casual gamers, Nintendo have proven that they are a bunch of greedy bastards by flipping off the hardcore fans that gave them their initial success in favor of a bunch uncoordinated retards who claim to like video games but only play crap like wii sports and wii music, and now they only give actual fans 2 or 3 games a year, but the plus side is that most of these are still very good, but not plentiful enough, so it mainly falls down to third party developers, however, most of them are following Nintendo's example, but it's the actual games that Nintendo release and third party games like No More Heroes and the games on this list that are stopping me from getting rid of mine, wait, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, shut up dawgs

I find it sad that some people who have a PS3/360 have to bash the wii Just because it's the one that is for the kids. These titles represent a chance to bring good titles to the Wii. You sir are not a gamer. A real gamer plays games to enjoy them and have fun, not bash the systems nor the games. I find it surprising that I only own a wii and pc and have a better sense at the industry, and not bash at the consoles.

I'm happy with my Wii and I don't own any other console apart from DS... and yes I am hardcore. I just stay clear from the third party rubbish. BTW where is New Play Control on tyhe list. Long live GC.
The_Tingler  - 10 months 5 days ago 
There's that new Indiana Jones game now, too. Wii's the only current-gen console it's coming out on.
key0blade  - 10 months 5 days ago 
WOW LOOK AT ALL THE WII GAMES!! Now, about that DS...

Hey, Murasama actually looks kind of cool.

Hopefully Fragile does get localized...by someone decent. It's a game that I would preorder in a heartbeat.
