After a two and a half years of owning a Wii, I still enjoy playing it. This is my review of Wii Hardware, and what I think of the system. Just give me one word: "Excellent".
For starters, I will cover the games. The games on the system I enjoy are all in this list and these are games you must buy:
No More Heroes
Okami
Resident Evil 4: Wii edition
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
MadWorld
Mario Kart Wii
There are many AA and AAA titles on the Wii, Virtual Console, and WiiWare. Games like No More Heroes, MadWorld, and Okami show a good third party support for the Wii.....but from those publishers. Don't expect any AAA games made with care from Activision, Ubisoft, and Atari. There is some shovelware on the Wii, but just ignore it and buy those games, and games I will recommend later and look at those pictures. Games like Mario, Zelda, and Metroid prove that Nintendo cares for the hardcore gamer.
The Wii has something needed with every system, backwards compatiblity. Now I have the ability to play classic GameCube titles on my Wii. The Wii even has 4 controller ports for the GameCube and 2 memory card slots. The GameCube controller can also be used for certain games and VC titles. Not all games have this support, but some games like SSBB use it perfectly. I played SSBB with the GCN controller for 2 months straight!!! That is how good it is.
The Wii's online is...lackluster. The Wii Shop Channel is great and has great VC games and all, but the system is still pretty weak. Until "The Conduit" comes out, at this point we have only 1 game that uses WiiSpeak, Animal Crossing. It is passable, but with friend codes, poor third-party and first-party support, well, it is OK. Use it with games like MoH: H2 and Call of Duty: World at War. If you want my Friend Code, send me a PM. Enjoy the downloads from classic systems like the NES and N64. Online games like Mario Kart can be really fun though.
The Wii's motion controls are executed perfectly in some games, but terribly in others. Some games like Fire Emblem or SSBB, don't even use motion controls. Some games have options to use motion controls, (SSBB). Metroid Prime 3 for example, was amazing.
The graphics in games like Red Steel or Call of Duty: World at War, make me want to scratch my eyes out. Games like SSBB, Super Mario Galaxy, and MadWorld make me blush!!! The Conduit and Overlord: Dark Legend will be GROUNDBREAKING!!!
So, overall, the Wii is great. I enjoy it and am giving it it's MrNintendo96 Score:
A 9.5 out of 10!!! (while saying the score, he pauses in the middle for 10 seconds, Adam Sessler style).
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Game Of The Year 2016: 2016 has been another fantastic year for gaming. Whilst the sheer number of games coming out has probably declined again, the overall quality is up – the only thing really missing nowadays is solid experiences ‘in the middle’ – everything is either big-budget, ‘AAA’ games or smaller indie titles, with few episodic titles sat as a kind-of, sort-of bridge rather uncomfortably in the middle. Whilst that’s a shame for the industry in general, there’s still been loads of great titles this year, perhaps most notably five fantastic shooters in Doom, Gears, Battlefield, Call of Duty & Titanfall, all of whom take their respective games in new directions and improve over their predecessors in meaningful ways. As ever, each of our main writers have listed out their own personal top five games of the year – enjoy and please leave a comment if you disagree!
Shooter: Battlefield 1
Linear: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Open world: Dark Souls III / Final Fantasy XV
Platformer: Inside
Racer: Forza Horizon 3
This Review is Really Solid.Great job and keep posting.
Was about to approve it for you. No need though. Good review bud =D
yah i agree...
great system overall
More like a 5.9. Wii hardware is embarassingly outdated and its library is mostly shovelware. Definitely the most fail current gen console on the market.
