Title: 10 hardcore Reasons to Get a Wii *NOW*
Post by: Nintendosbooger on January 04, 2010, 04:36:49 PM

The mongrels on this message board would have every newcomer believe that the console market leading Nintendo Wii is devoid of a solid catalogue of hardcore games and is nothing more than a casual-purpose video game machine. The fact of the matter is, neither of these allegations is true and I will illustrate to some of the more frustrated unknowledgeable gamers on this forum, both members and lurkers alike, that the Wii is possessed with plethora of great hardcore titles.

Now, according to popular legend, a video game console with a traditional price tag is worth its weight in gold if it has at least 10 excellent-to-great games to complement it. At least 10 according to an age-old video game console formula. My responsibility from this point on is to show to you these 10 games, and let you be the judge. By the end of this post, you will be convinced that the Wii is a solid instrument of video game goodness.


(http://www.foxnews.com/images/300977/0_61_super_mario_galaxy.jpg)
Super Mario Galaxy
Metacritic Score: 97

The number one platformer this generation. Super Mario Galaxy has come to galvanize the entire video game community. Great controls, level design, and art makes this one of the best games of any platform this generation or past ones.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metacritic Score: 95

The haters will claim that the GC port (which was released later, mind you) was the superior version, but don’t listen to them. If you’re not playing this on the Wii, you’re not playing the best Zelda game to come out since OoT.

(http://www.wiisworld.com/images/screenshots/metroid-prime-3-corruption-2.jpg)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Metacritic Score: 90

A stunning end to an excellent trilogy. Metroid Prime 3 is how FPA (First-Person-Adventure) should be done. If you haven’t played the games, I recommend the trilogy set that is on sale now for a cheap price. All 3 games, the full trilogy, in one package.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Metacritic Score: 87

The idiots here will scoff at the notion of labeling this juggernaut as a hardcore title, but this is what it is: a traditional 2D Mario side-scroller that is every bit as hardcore as classic 2D Marios that came before it.

(http://guidesmedia.ign.com/mrs/anticipated/08.jpg)
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
Metacritic Score: 87

One of the earlier Wii titles, Zack & Wiki has developed a cult following by being among the first third party attempts to illustrate the strengths of Wii’s controls.

(http://www.destructoid.com/elephant/ul/76992-468x-Top%205%20Wii%20-%20Little%20Kings%20Story.jpg)
Little King's Story
Metacritic Score: 87

Perhaps the best 3rd party game to be released in 2009, with Silent Hill: Shattered Memories closely following it. If you’re a fan of RTS, then this is the hardcore title to pick up. The only downside is the lack of Wii-mote functionality.

 
(http://nintendookie.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/lw21.jpg)
LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias
Metacritic Score: 86

Superb and relatively short WiiWare action/adventure game that set the bar for future releases on the service. It is better than the original in almost every conceivable way, including art and gameplay.

(http://nintendorks.com/media/8/20090522-punch-out-wii-500x274.jpg)
Punch-Out!!
Metacritic Score: 86

In the old days, there were 2 sports games that captivated the video game industry and community: Tecmo Bowl and the original Mike Tyson’s Punchout for the NES. This game is total fan service but it delivers and maintains the hardcore explosion /challenge of its 8-bit predecessor. Don’t be fooled by its appearance. It’s a pretty deep boxing game.

(http://games.gearlive.com/blogimages/super_paper_mario_screen.jpg)
Super Paper Mario
Metacritic Score: 85

I’ve yet to pick up this title (on my backlog, however), but I’ve heard nothing but positive things with respect to this platformer/RPG. If you love other Mario titles, then you might want to check this baby out.

(http://cubemedia.ign.com/cube/image/article/630/630908/killer-7-20050701033533707.jpg)
No More Heroes
Metacritic Score: 83

Suda 51’s best game this generation. This is THE definition of an over-the-top action game, superbly executed and punctuated with enough violence, gore, and explicit language to make even the most hardcore gamer spine tingle before rupturing altogether.


Now, you’ll notice, while glancing at my list, that I’ve omitted other top-ranked hardcore games, like  Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition and Tiger Woods Golf, along with some multi-console titles. They were left out to discourage the further defamation toward the console on account of it having a few ports here and there. With these awesome game, the excellent games I've not mentioned, and the great hardcore games (e.g., NMH2, RS2, S&P2) soon to be released, I can't imagine any hardcore gamer's appetite being honestly addressed this generation without this console.

I remember when "hardcore game" was reserved for impossibly difficult shmups, complex strategy games with minimal UI and weird Eastern bloc RPGs. It sure as hell didn't refer to Mario platformers.

Then again, I also remember laffing at some ntards who claimed that Kirby Air Ride was just too hardcore for the mainstream FPS loving Xbots, so hey.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that the OP can't even find 10 actually good games on the system he is trying to sell?

Super Paper Mario?  The consensus is that the game was awful
Zack & Wiki?  Was not particularly well received by players.  Months later everyone just talks about how bad the game was.
Punchout?  Good for 2 hours.
Lost Winds?  Really?  A reason to buy the Wii?

You misspelled Bayonetta, dude.

I've been interested in NMH, but it's coming out for the PS3 and 360, so no need to get a Wii.

No.  Makes the game too easy.

#8: Metroid

Title: Re: 10 hardcore Reasons to Get a Wii *NOW*
Post by: Bebpo on January 04, 2010, 04:54:18 PM
While incredibly ~uguu, Little King's Story is a pretty awesome game. The closest comparison I can make is Pikmin but with a better story mode and deeper strategy elements.

It's a nice game but the start is pretty slow, which is why I still haven't played it beyond the first few bits.

I've added the metacritic scores to show you that these games were well received despite your specific preferences.

As for the last pic, that wasn't the link I should have pasted, but I'm too busy to change that right now.

oh, so the 70 hours i spent on the gamecube version didnt count? thats weird because i thought they were the same exact game, except the wii version had tacked on bullshit and slapped the wii logo on the box to try and move units of their new system, everyone knows the wii wasnt worth getting until super mario galaxy, except for ninthings like yourself

The problem is that a lot of game review outlets are still ruled by traditionalists and Wii haters. A lot of Wii games are scored obscenely lower than they should, while HD games are scored more favorably. I really can't take those scores seriously considering the lack of journalistic integrity and responsibility in today's video game media, which explains why I draw from sales figures to help reinforce some of my points.

I listed the top games on metacritica, not all of them being my favorite and I've never played SMP (as stated in the OP). The point I'm trying to illustrate is that there are good, critically acclaimed and favorably scored hardcore games out there. I love Silent Hill: SM and Muramasa, but I didn't want review junkies here to trash those titles on the basis of these scores even though they're awesome.

in mad world you have two commenter who make various joke about your action,one of the jokes goes like "i like his style,he either picks people to break stuff or he pick stuff to break people" it pretty much sums the entire game if you add "throwing people at spiky things or throwing spiky things at people" to the list
i still think it's a good game,the soundtrack rocks and the commenter are really funny

It really isn't. I think by the end of the generation, it will be considered the system with Nintendo's best software output since the N64. That in and of itself can't be argued when you pause to reflect on the games that have been released and those that will be released.

If anything, the Big N should look into implementing an internal hard drive in their next console, as the lucrative FPS market that Nintendo once monopolized in the N64 era seems entirely dependent on having one. Once that is done, I imagine their marketshare will expand to greater heights.

God Hand was fucking awesome. Never played MadWorld, even though it looked to be a spiritual successor.. but I heard it wasn't that good. ???

in mad world you have two commenter who make various joke about your action,one of the jokes goes like "i like his style,he either picks people to break stuff or he pick stuff to break people" it pretty much sums the entire game if you add "throwing people at spiky things or throwing spiky things at people" to the list
i still think it's a good game,the soundtrack rocks and the commenter are really funny


I love the idea behind Madworld, and the commentary/atmosphere are great, but the game play leaves a lot to be desired.

It's one thing to have a disgruntled yet civilized opinion of Nintendo, yet when slack-jawed sons of bitches like you carry on like Shigeru Miyamoto denied your autograph request or refused to accept your offer for a blowjob, it's drivel...plain and simple.

Leper Nintendosbooger really

Second rate humorless trolling doesn't need this many topics.


It really isn't. I think by the end of the generation, it will be considered the system with Nintendo's best software output since the N64. That in and of itself can't be argued when you pause to reflect on the games that have been released and those that will be released.

Finally something we can all agree on. This became true halfway through 2007 and only NSMBWii has been released since.

yeah, Nintendosbooger is a really boring joke character, troll, w/e he is.  And this is coming from a boring poster, so that's the double truth.  Someone compared him to JustinP, but his rage was consistent and throughout all his posts in many threads, not just the ones he creates.  Nintendosbooger is basically the Quantum of Solace of posters.

Zack and Wiki is almost fun, but there are some baaaaad choices. :-\

The only thing I would have really wanted from Zack and Wiki is nunchuck analog control.  Other than that, it was a fun puzzle game made up of puzzles found usually found in adventure games.  Also, I remember there being bits where you had to play music that I didn't bother with.

If you own a X360/Ps3, the majority of the games listed in the OP are passable. Even PSN and XBLA offer better games than the Wii.

Seriously, ntards always have to wait for an eternety before a decent Wii game gets released, while Ps3/X360 owners are bombarded with great games. There are so many great PsS360 games being released that I even have to skip a few.

So I don't really have time to play the shitty low-profile games listed in the OP.

No it doesn't. It shows that while you may not have the time to play Nintendo games, you sure as hell have a lot of time to go on messageboards and whine about Nintendo's success. The SAME fucking people KEEP complaining about Ninty, and to what avail?

For fucks' sake, play the games you like and shut the fuck up already about the ones you don't. I don't know why on Earth nerds have embraced the whole "I'm superior to Nintendo fans!" schtick wholesale but it's boring as fuck.

I play the good Nintendo games such as Mario Galaxy and NSMBwii, Zelda and Metroid. And maybe one or two decent 3rd party games.

But I just don't play many Wii games because they're not good enough to spent my time on. If you own all the consoles like I do, the Wii becomes a shitty 3rd option for gaming.

also, back to the thread title...

anyone hardcore bought a Wii at launch.

Please don't tell me that you didn't buy a Wii at launch, Nintendosbooger? 

I bought one @ launch, just like the GC; stayed 10 hours in line at a Best Buy. Unfortunately, I sold the system because it was becoming a distraction (too many games to play), but I had the DS to keep me company and that too developed into a distraction. I repurchased the Wii a few months ago when things settled down and with the unbeatable combination of the two systems, I'm having more fun now than in any previous generation.

I don't download games that I don't like. I download them first and then hate on them if they're bad. I wouldn't have bought 95% of the games I've pirated anyway.
A lot of my Ps3 games are multiplatform games that I could've pirated on X360 instead. But I just bought them.
And we don't have a rental service here, so pirating games and testing them out is a better solution than buying and testing.

I only buy the good games anyway.

Also it doesnt have to be for PIRACY reasons.

Reasons for running off USB (wii) -

- shorter load times (most notable in games like House of the Dead where stutter is prevalent)
- no need to juggle discs, all in one spot (think XBLA)
- no strain on laser, longer shelf life
- easy to archive/back up
- can rip directly from disc, saving your disc life

You can still play online with it, you can even use cheats with it.
