Apart from Smash, theres fucking nothing, what a shitty console, only good for getting wasted and playing Warioware with your friends
any promising looking 3rd party titles?
-
I picked up DQ Swords yesterday... will try it tonight
-
Didn't Square recently announced they were developing an engine for the WII? The WII will get much more 3rd party support from Japanese developers if both the PS3 and WII continue to sell in Japan as they did in 07. I"m not convinced yet that PS3 will turn it around in Japan.
-
Fragile and King Story both look pretty hot.
-
Oh yeah, that WiiWare game looked -really- nice, I was at the session at GDC, I might have to buy it

I don't know if they have a full blown engine, but they said at GDC that are able to take some of the features from the Crystal Tools toolset and use them on the Wii.

Mario is Racing a Kart Wii will be out mid-April. Other than that, uh... Opoona is coming sometime this year in the states isn't it? Nintendo keeps their cards ridiculously close so there'll probably be announcements later.
-
shikigami III. the monkey king. that downloadable star soldier game. 'not shit' is also an acceptable answer, but it seems to be getting enough marginal shmups that i have to keep the damned thing :'(
-
If you're not one to bother with roms and emulators, then WII's VC library easily makes it the best system for shmups.
-
SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL™ is the only game I'll need. :bow

Another Mediocre Old Game For $10 (weekly release)

Mario Kart will be poop
Excite Truck 2 is what Im hanging out for
-
Well, at least I've still got Mario Galaxy. I played it for about 10 mins before I got sick of the blurry graphics. I'll definitely give it another try when I can hook it up to a decent CRT. The WII just ain't meant to be played on a LCD or plasma.
-
Vitrtal Console games look really good on my LCD, but anything 3d :-X
So at least the Wiis good for something other than bizarre smoked out drunken party sessions (which are actually pretty good)
-

I've still yet to try Excite Truck. Was wondering if it was shit or not.

It's worth a rental at best. meh.

I've noticed that cartoony/cel-shaded games like Paper Mario look much better than other WII games. They really should stick with that kind of style more often.
Zelda:TP doesn't look too bad on a CRT but on my LCD, everything is horribly washed out.
I only have a 4x3 CRT which can only do 480I. I'll like to find a 16x9 480p CRT of at least 36" before they go out of production.
Looking at the current console situation, I think we'll start seeing some good 3rd party stuff for the Wii from Japan. Seeing as how most Japanese games struggle to sell even 1/2 a million on the PS3,
I don't see how Japanese companies can make money without supporting the WII. Of course, they could start making stuff for the 360 but that seems less likely.
-
Excite Truck is garbage I'd be offended to see on XBLA/PSN. Yet somehow it's "great" on Wii?
-
I dont get the Excite Truck hate... sure it's a 'lil janky but once you get used to the controls and scoring system, its hard to put down. Its really fun! Controls are awesome
-
too bad you don't have panther lotus and his list.
-

co-signed. Add to that Blast Works, which is looking kinda hot (game editor w/trading, ah yeah).
Anybody else dig light gun shooters? If so, you're probably looking forward to House of the Dead 2&3, which will have all the extras from the DC and Xbox versions, plus a little bit extra and 1:1 aiming, and Target Terror, which is the port of the surprisingly fun and ridiculous arcade game. You best believe I'll be on those.

That actually sounds kinda interesting. I'll give them a try if they come out with some new light-guns instead of those lame add-on peripherals.

i <3 lightgun shooters, but calibrated aiming doesn't work in ghost squad unless you sit farther back from the screen than my setup will conveniently allow. otherwise i'd definitely pick up hotd 2+3.

drohne buddy, I'm sorry to break it to you, but your experience is not typical.
On my 26 LCD, I've only got to be back about five feet for some pretty awesome and authentic light gun fun. Other dudes on GAF have reported similar reports of non-sniping distance calibration with Ghost Squad working and working well. I don't know why it is, but your dire situation is not like everybody else's.
Perhaps you'll be heartened to know that on Gamestop's video preview of HOTD2&3 (http://"http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/houseofthedead2and3return/media.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabs&tag=tabs;videos"), they mentioned that they've improved the calibration process over Ghost Squad, maybe you'll have better luck next time.
-
then i really can't imagine what my issue is -- i'm playing on a 32" lcd, and i need to be a good 8' back before i can hit the calibration targets. i've tried multiple sensor bars, multiple sensor bar positions, etc. i'm tempted to try it again...i need to hook the wii up for nmh anyway

Interference like the PS3 drop out issues?
-
no, it's simply that my wiimote can't 'see' the sensor bar when i point at the far corners of the screen from a normal distance. i don't know why some other people have had such dramatically different results. maybe they're not holding their wiimotes at arm's-length in a gunshell, maybe their gunshells haven't got sights and they're not really pointing at the corners, maybe there's something freakish about my setup. WHO KNOWS

Now that I think about it there isn't anything coming out that doesn't have Mario in it.
-

Why would you label Fragile as lulz crap? It's easily the most promising looking RPG for the system yet...

it has decent graphics? seriously, i really have a hard time playing ds games with their 256x192 resolution.

Third party pubs still don't believe that original non Nintendo IPs can be successful on the Wii.
I don't say this as speculation, I say this as fact.
-
they can't be. i'm not even sure why they bother.

I don't get it.
The game has an anime-ish character designs and therefore equals crap?
-
they can't be. i'm not even sure why they bother.
American pubs still primarily see the 360 as the lead piece of hardware. Although there is growing sentiment that this could be a big year for the PS3 hardware wise.
As for Wii everyone is holding out for a non Nintendo original IP to be big, until then expect more ports/budget titles.
I think XBLA and PSN will see more original IPs this year than Wii. Seems like people believe downloadable games will hit critical mass long before Wii content.
