The Nintendo Revolution

Quote by: bishop you must not have seen any good games running on the 360 then. toss COD4 or gears on and take a look.

Apparently Call of Duty 4 is also on the Wii..... which makes me wonder how it compares to the 360 as an example.....

well I'll be damned.... CoD3 does support online capabilities on the Wii.... earlier reports prior to it's release stated it was just single player.

bah, nothing conclusive at this stage.... but I did find Medal of Honor Vanguard... but then again, I lost interest in the MoH games after Allied Assault.

I was going to get CoD4 for my PC though.

Quote by: Nemiroff The wii has amazing revolutionary games, trauma center, does everyone just ignore it everytime I post that title, no game has ever resembled it, it fits into no category, and is incredibly addictive, everyone who has picked it up loves it, from my girlfriend, to my hardcore gamer friends.

My cousin had that game and looked pretty interesting dealing with various operations and such.... although I kinda lost my interest in Jamanimation, I can tolerate it to a degree

Dragon ball z is the most original fighting game ever made since the format was established. And with the wii controls its the most fun I've had in a while. And compared to the previous wii dbz, the controls are so much better I think they're starting to figure out what they're doing.

Once again.... I hate japanimation (It first started out just hating how cheaply animated the cartoons are on average... some movies like Ninja Scroll are awsome though)

there is no news that cod4 is going to be on the wii. meanwhile, a cod5 is in the works for the 360.

cod3 is out on the wii, although it doesn't have any multiplayer component (unlike the 360 version). the reviews also knocked off points for poor controls on the wii..

and, the upcoming lineup of games for the wii looks all sorts of *exciting*..

COD4 is out for PC, and my gaming group doesn't need to spend $50 a pop to all play it online together. Frankly, it beats the 360 version easily.

[bishop]

honestly, i think this is more to do about console vs. console, than the pc..

and, it costs $50 to play cod4 online???

[Praxius]

yeah I seen some games you have to pay a certain ammount per month or year.... I think it was a draw back in that review on page one.

[bishop]

there's no additional cost on the 360 other than having xbox live.

it'll be a while until that game's remade for the substandard wii, if they even bother. lots of really interesting titles in development won't make it to the wii any time soon either, if at all. (like resident evil 5, too human, etc..)

smash brothers, and no more heros are 2 games i'm waiting for, and the star wars game with the lightsaber attachment has been long awaited.

the wii is weaker graphically, so its gonna have different games. i'm actually hoping they dont port the other games cause its just gonna be water down graphics, and the games aren't made for the wii remote. just like its impossible for the ps3 to play a game like trauma center. the animation is just the way they did the storyline, and if it was really really realistic, that would be an insanely complicated game, so they wen't for an anime style. Dragon ball z is an awesome fighting game sorry for the cheap animation, but the original is over 40 years old, and it was one of the greatest fighting show ever.

wii has POTENTIAL, and i guess they just have no idea what to do with it yet, they have been getting better, the controls for each new game are smoother and funnier. and like i said, they just need to stop with the freakin mini game games

3rd party developers are making games left right and center lately. only thing is, they are making those games for the 360 and ps3. the short list of 3rd party titles for the wii is pretty laughable, so the only good point about this system will be the 10+ year old nintendo franchise games that come out - no different than was the case with the n64 and gamecube.

all of the systems have potential. but as is usually the case with nintendo systems for the past 10 years or so, 3rd party developers aren't interested.

but, duck hunt's out...

Actually one other thing that does appeal about having all the old Nintendo games on one system.... is that they're all on one system.

I mean I have all the consoles, but having to hook them all up to play my different games (Which I still do on and off, depending if I got the time to hook them up) having them all on the Wii is a nice way of keeping your entertainment area clean and organized.

And they do have the old style controller you buy for the Wii, which looks like a hybrid between the SNES controller and the Gamecube controller:



I mean for the bottom line for me when it comes to games, is it's all about their entertainment value and originality.... if it's not on another system, then it's unique to me.

The wii isn't the most powerful, but I have not been disappointed with the GC, or any of the other Nintendo consoles (Except Perhaps the N64 and Virtual Boy) and what I played on the Wii, I prefer it over the other's... but it's all about preference.

yeah, and you get to buy them all over again. nintendo is the best recycler in the world, hands down.

looks fabulous. sticking with the weird gc controller would've been better than that flat puck imo.


for me, the wii was the first nintendo system that i decided not to buy (i also own a ds). i can still play the old ones if i feel like it, but also own a console that has 3rd party support. playing zelda 53, super mario 452, metroid prime^2 is fun and all, but it's time for some new franchises and new genre innovations. (aside from the innovative bowling in your living room types of games...)

[Nemiroff]

Retro play is cool but its not what the wii Is famous for praxius seems to love it but other then a few gc games, I haven't played any of the other systems on the wii. Its got plenty of 3rd party games, non of the western giants, but many developers from Japan who's games aren't as graphical but a hell of a lot more addictive and fun.

I mean for the 360, you get the better graphics, a lot of vehicles, guns, you can have more things on the screen at once, everything is better then before but nothing genuinely new.
Ok the wii is short on good games, but they just started releasing games that aren't minigames last month. Both the fighting games I got are great. Bleach barely has any buttons, I swung the controller, my character swings his sword. Dbz is famous for having terrible games and if you watched the show, it Wouldn't be easy to turn it into a game. This one is hot and on any other system would need 100 buttons and it wouldn't make sense. On the wii I need 4 buttons and controls that use motions that are common sense for the moves their made for.

The remote makes a great wheel for any driving game, and the pointer controls are supreme for first person games. The mouse has always been better then an analog for those and a wii remote can give the mouse a run for its money. (if its not better, and the wii remote is still great for other games which the mouse/keyboard suck at)

One word. Manhunt. its frickin awesome! you move your wiimote to strangle and stab people, it dont get much better than that!

I have a feeling this thread is gonna become more active as the months go by and Nintendo hopefully shows us what the system can really do :) hope hope
