Haha, Sonic. I don't blame them really. I reckon they feel pretty sorry for Sega and release their games out of courtesy, or pity. So one day Sega will have enough money to build another console and add a bit more competition to the race.Cahlee post=9.70230.688614 said:
Either that or it'll just be something the others will use to show how great their console is. "You think OUR gfx card is outdate? Have you seen the Sega one?"
Or something like that
Ace, I had Aladdin too. I have to mention Comix Zone. That's my favourite Mega Drive\Genesis game. Available on Wii's virtual console too.Cahlee post=9.70230.688632 said:
Bonus!
If you take a look at Nintendo's own releases, they fall into line like this (abbreviated list):
Core games:
Zelda Twilight Princess
Super Paper Mario
Metroid Prime 3
Super Mario Strikers Charged
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Mario Kart Wii
Casual games:
WiiSports
Big Brain Academy
WiiFit
So, the idea that Nintendo is somehow leading the charge certainly doesn't hold water. I guess it's all the casual shovelware from people like Ubisoft?
Look. When you've got a console that has all those games in the upper list -- one of which won GOTY from many gaming sites last year -- plus non-first party ones I didn't mention, I don't think any adult should feel the least bit of shame or discomfort in owning that console.

Hehe, thanks. Even if I don't have a shelf full of Wii games yet (only got about 6), I've still got loads for the Cube and DS.Andy Anonymous post=9.70230.688656 said:
Then there's also the endless amount of PC games that I've been collecting for the last 20 years or so! lol
The comic it was based on is French isn't it? Or are there English versions out there too?.............if you know. Thanks!Cyclomega post=9.70230.688449 said:
You mean the good part of the game. Unfortunately though you could complete the game without doing those particular missions.poleboy post=9.70230.685092 said:
I think you had to do at least a few of those missions, but I could be wrong. I haven't played the game in years. My point was that the game has content that a child with little video game experience does not have a chance in hell of completing. Surely those parts were made with adults/experienced gamers in mind?Decoy Doctorpus post=9.70230.690878 said:
That error was with starting Wii games only, in which as I said, if you turned down the Wiimote volume it went away. It was an odd glitch in early Wii programming. It's actually very accurate of a system, and you don't have to play like that, almost every game allows for the option to use a Game Cube, Nun-chuck(racing games for this example), or Classic Controller. Besides, it's suppose to pick up a strong FPS market as Valve said they love the Wii and it's idea.Jobz post=9.70230.688211 said:
Also, for Super Mario Sunshine, you had to do some of the no water pack missions. I mean hell, you needed almost all Sun Sprites to get into the final area.
I really can't seem to get any good use out of my Wii.
Basically the game selection seems to suck and the only one I've really enjoyed is SSBB (I've played it since N64 days so I guess that makes me a fanboy) and Fire Emblem Radiant dawn, everything else just seems...bad?

Thanks mate, aprreciated.Cyclomega post=9.70230.690833 said:
EDIT: It says on there that a XIII film starring Val Kilmer and Stephen Dorff is currently in production with a planned release in 2009. Shame they didn't get Dave Duchovny back to play XIII, seeing as he's a real actor too, unlike Val Kilmer.
Suppose if the film did well, they'd discuss a follow up of the games, maybe.
For a lot of good Wii games you've to dig around because they don't really advertise much, and I don't understand why.MacBauer post=9.70230.690959 said:
I thought their ads just consisted of 20 seconds of a pre-rendered video of Mario and a voice over shouting "MARIO!...........MARIO!..........MARIOOOOOOO!........only on wii!" - Even they're not trying anymore.LivemeLifefree post=9.70230.691003 said:
And that's coming from a self confessed Nintendo Whore!
Right, I'm 19 and student (of games design incidentally) so therefore I must fall into the catagory of beer swilling, XBOX 360 owners who only like button bashing FPS' where someone dies every five second. On the flip side to the "Wii is for kids" stereotype, I personlly hate the "All XBOX owners are FPS' madden imbeciles"
I actually do own an XBOX and like some FPS' but not Halo or CoD4, and in my group of 20 or so XBOX games only 3 are FPS' :- Fear, Timeshift, and Condemned (If you want to call it an FPS') They may not be brilliant but I like them.
Here's the twist in the tale though; I also own a Wii and get just the same ammount of use out of it and yes almost all my games are "Casual" games like SSBB, Mario Strikers, and Resi Umbrella Chronicals. These are all great games that can be played for 30mins or an hour and then do something else, they make good time fillers. But the Wii has some sneaky hidden games that can steal days off you without even realising; Harvest moon (And I don't care who knows that I like a farm sim, its brilliant and beats most FPS' anyday) for example I only stopped playing because someone started banging on my door to see if I was still alive, No More Heroes is another good one.
And finally... Wii graphics = bad? While they may not be as amazing as the PS3 or XBOX 360. There still leagues above older game graphics, Just because they are the worst of the bunch, doesn't mean they're not still good.
And besides if a games storyline and gameplay is good it shouldn't need stupidly powerful graphics... Just coherent ones.
Thats all... My ranting is done for the week.

Duchovny is not an actor I enjoy a lot, and he wouldn't match XII's hardened looks...dannydamage post=9.70230.690994 said:
Kilmer is an equally bad choice, but to be fair, I don't know who would have looked good...
Maybe Ewan MacGregor or Liam Neeson (who was awesome in Taken), if only their roles in SW did not humiliate them that much...
I meant a lot of good third party games aren't, but I've only seen SMG advertisement when it first came out. It could be the fact I live in the USA and have network TV. And Rusman, I'll agree with you there.dannydamage post=9.70230.691008 said:
I don't mind DD to be honest, big X-Files fan.Cyclomega post=9.70230.691015 said:
The character in the game always looked a bit like George Clooney to me. But I wouldn't want him to be in a film that I may watch.
EM and LN are good but yes you're right. Star Wars ruins all, hehe.
I just got a Wii on a impulse buy myself to add to my PC gaming and 360 gaming. Honestly well some may say I am one the Wii's demographics I honestly like a lot of the games it has upcoming with the unique art style "No more heroes" and their rougelike games like "Chocobo Dungeon" are fun and enjoyable. It's also nice to know if I have family and friends over it has a lot of quick and easy pick up and play games anyone can enjoy. Not really sure where the idea of fun "casual" games became such a evil word.
