There have been about 5-6 games for the Wii that have been truly worth purchasing. Smash Brothers came out in March.

Since then nothing good has been released.

Now it doesn't even look like anything is on the horizon. When a Mario baseball game and Wario side scroller are the best that a console can do mid 2008... well fuck that.

Millions of people own this console, so why isn't anyone trying to take our money with decent releases?

In a few days Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is supposed to come out. I have been waiting for this game since the Wii was invented, but the closer we get to the date, the more I feel like I will be let down. The paper magazine ratings have been low, but none of the big online reviewers have made their comments yet.

Still, I would have expected something better. This has been a very weak year in games, but an even weaker year in Wii games.

Boo.

Buy all the shitty games and play through them for fun

Is it your goal to ruin my thread?

This is terrible advice.

It's not bad advice. If you buy every game and play and beat them, you can be considered MASTER OF THE WII.

Douche did this.

But it doesn't change the fact that you are degrading the quality of my thread.

mario kart came out after smash bros, and mario kart actually has some very good online play

For people like me who owned and loved Doubledash, Mario Kart Wii was pathetic. There is no way to beat the computer with skill due to a large number of AI driven power attacks. Blue Shell... Blue Shell... Blue Shell... Oh were you winning by a lap? Fuck YOU!!! BLUE SHELL BLUE SHELL BLUE SHELL BLUE SHELL BLUE SHELL!

Also where is the VS gameplay with just the live people? Online mode has it, but the regular game doesn't?

Oh... and WTF is up with the shitty refresh rate on 3 & 4 player mode?

I am getting mad just thinking about that fucking shitty game.

I'm fucking sick of people saying the Wii has no games: Brawl - own it - cleared 95% Zelda - beat it Galaxy - beat it Corruption - beat it Zack & Wiki - Heard it was must meh Okami - Saw demo, didn't like it - also it is a port of an old game No More Heroes - Was one of a few that I have considered Mario Strikers - not into soccer Blast Works - never heard of it Guitar Hero 3 - I enjoy playing it, at other peoples homes. Rock Band - same as above NiGHTS: Journey Into Dreams - never heard of it Sonic and the Secret Rings - I heard it was boring Ghost Squad - Never heard of it House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return - rather be punched in the junk than have to play these Metal Slug Anthology - never heard of it Super Paper Mario - GAY GAY GAY Guilty Gear XX Accent Core - Never heard of it That's just off the top of my head. The trick is doing your damn research. If you blindly walk into a Best Buy or Target, you are going to see DOZENS of crappy shovelware games.

I owe the titles in red more research. I'll see what I can find out about them and get back to you. I still say that the selection is weak for a system closing in on its second birthday.
