Some good games here. Wii owners should pick up a few of these games

I agree, I haven't played but a couple, but the Wii does have some pretty cool games. When I get a Wii U, I plan on picking up some Wii games I missed out on since it will be backward compatible.

I love my wii, it has some really great games, even though alot of them are really really hard to find :(, it seemed like publishers never tried to get their good games out there and then they complained when they didn't sell.

Yeah I had that problem with Little Kings Story. I would have had to drive for 3 hours for a copy of the game upon release. I live 8 minutes from a Gamestop and still needed to drive 3 hours to get a copy.

Imagine how bad Halo's sales would be if everyone had to drive hours for their copy. That's the only game I had trouble finding

Opoona: was told by several reviewers it was an easy game for kids so I passed.
Zack and Wiki: Sales might have been better if a Capcom rep wasnt on the TV in Gamestop telling people the game was designed for 5 year old kids. No 5 year old could play that game. I got it for my GF and there really was a lot to it.
Dead Space: I dont support games that are just made to cash in and offer little to no quality.

Other than that it is a decent list.I would have included Harvest Moon myself and House of the Dead Overkill

Here, I'll save you guys the trouble of skimming through 11 PAGES(!) to see what games made the list.

10 - Opoona
09 - Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
08 - Klonoa
07 - Trauma Team
06 - Muramasa: The Demon Blade
05 - LostWinds/LostWinds 2: Winter of the Melodias
04 - Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
03 - Little King's Story
02 - Dead Space: Extraction
01 - Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

Not a bad list overall, personally I didn't care for 'Dead Space' but both 'Klonoa' and 'Muramasa' are definitely worth a playthrough.

Thanks. Those are great games that I will play when I buy my WiiU.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
