I hate mother fucking casual gamers. If your only gaming console is a Wii and you don't have Brawl or Galaxy, I hate you. Start running.

I'm only remotely looking forward to Sin and Punishment 2. But I'm also looking forward to Overlord: Dark Legend, No More Heroes 2, and Dead Rising: Chop 'Till You Drop. The problem isn't the Wii itself (in most cases), it's the developers that make shit games for it.

Some of you people keep on spelling Muramasa the wrong way.

"Still none of these look good, sigh, back to real games"

That made me laugh so hard. The most idiotic comment of this year so far, and possibly a winner voerall.

...these arnt 'real' games the only good games for wii is zelda twilight princess and mario galaxy

other then that every other games is designed 2 month old retards and fat old women

can wii gamers be excited for 2009?
short answer no.
long answer yes, with a but.
wiis sold well because everyone thought motion sensitivity would be awesome but then it all sucked and then grandpas started buying all the wiis that were on ebay and playing my brain training and little kids started playing cooking mama and everyone that bought one and realised it sucked has now learnt their lesson and if a wii 2 comes out (which i suspect it probably will) no-one will buy it except all the 'casual gamers' that really should just buy carol vorderman's handheld sudoku instead because its a helluva lot cheaper and more 'practical'.

rant over.

to gutlessVADER, brawl is not as hardcore as you think, it is what you kids say "casual"

I remember when i used to defend the Wii but, now that i got a 360 my Wii has been collecting dust. There has not been anything good on the Wii in a long time

You guys do know that HotD: O is an 8 hour game and that's not looking foe everything? I was surprised at this.

Even if you don't want to get these games, it's better to try them out for the experience. That's what games are right? Enjoying the Esperience.

I've had my N.Wii for quite a while now...and its got some decent playtime...but on games like Wii Sports and RES.E. ...now it just kinda sits collecting dust...im skeptic on selling it because something may come out on it that i will wanna play! Basically, im holding my breath for that must have game...

Dammit dammit dammit, sold my Wii.
I really want to play MadWorld.

Also, Fragile looks awesome.

I think I need another Wii..

OK, all you core gamers can play your generic FPS crap, I'll spend my time with No More Heroes, MadWorld and House of the Dead (and as always, God Hand).
Oh, and of course all those classics on VC that you never played.

i own a Wii and i'm excited to see if these games are all they are cracked up to be. I am seriously considering buying a 360 though.
itsameleon  - 9 months 26 days ago 
360 is the cheapeswt but it has most shooter games witch is what alot of people like PS3 sucks bcus it gets to warm so yea

I gotta say, I currently have a 360 and a Wii. Seems like the way to go. By not having a PS3 I miss out on LBP and MGS4. If I didn't have a Wii, I'd miss out on No More Heroes, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, SSBB, Zack and Wiki, Mario Kart Wii, and I'd have to play an uglier version of Twilight Princess on GC. And I haven't even gone into downloadable stuff. If I drop the 360 for PS3 I miss out on Gears of War, Lost Odessey, Knights of the Old Republic (I hope the new MMO is on 360), Conker (I know, was for original xbox but I never owned one), and the JRPGs that seem to be going xbox exclusive in the near future (yeah, I didn't mention Halo 3 cuz I don't like Halo but those of you that do, that +1 for 360). I do currently use my 360 more but that is because my computer isn't built for gaming so my only MMO option is FFXI and my PS2 hard drive failed (the only reason I got a 360, really. it's cheaper than a new computer). Quite a few of these titles will be welcome additions, especially Mad World and No More Heroes 2 (not listed in article). I also agree with them that Punch Out! should have balance board support. The Wii has a lot of potential and anyone who has played No More Heroes and Mario Galaxy have seen how the motion controls can be done right. I don't want to see another cheap port like Marvel Ultimate Alliance where the motions are kinda tacked on and just... yeah, that game did have me wishing I could just press buttons. Overall, Wii-60 seems to be the way to go if you are a gamer. If you are that hard up to spend $400 for a system that has 2 good games (counting exclusives, only), then by all means, buy a 3rd system. In the future when HD TVs are <$200 and I can get a good surround sound system for <$200, that is the point where I will care about bluray to consider buying a PS3 and if I do, I will spend <$100 on that system cuz it's not worth as much to me as my PS2.

ahhh.. just chill out everyone!.., relax.. u know.. and i think that everyone should play what they get.. so, if you have a wii.. play and care about the wii only!.. if u have 360/ps3 care about it and forget about the wii.. or visceversa.. as simple and easy as that..


and well, regarding the topic..

i guest that u r missing, TENCHU: SHADOW ASSASIN, PES: 2009, and hopefully will be NO MORE HEROES 2, RED STEEL 2, THE GRUDGE, also.

good, good!..

I really want Muramasa, House of the Dead, and Mad World. I haven't touched my Wii for over 5 months, and the last game I played was Brawl. Maybe this will revive the Wii?!
