Crave Online: Wii Roundup

Crave Online writes: "So you're looking to sift through all of the truly dismal Wii titles to find the hidden gems beneath? Yea, me too. It's a crap shoot, isn't it? The world of Wii is so dense with mediocrity that someone somewhere needs to come along and do our hunting for us.

Now, I don't claim to be able to move mountains or change the fate of one of the most popular gaming consoles in the last quarter century; but I do, in fact, think I can lay down some bi-weekly news tidbits for this small sliver of the world."

Why Hardcore Baseball Fans Have Unexpectedly Embraced the Wii's Mario Sluggers

The regular season of Major League Baseballis over. Washington took the cup, and the boys of summer are off to hibernate until spring. For the baseball superfan, this means many long months without their sport of choice, so they've turned to the virtual world. And rather than the super-sims or manager games, a Mario spin-off baseball series seems to have captured people's attention.

Mario Superstar Baseball hit the GameCube in 2005, and its sequel Mario Super Sluggers landed on the Wii in 2008. There hasn't been a new baseball spinoff since developer Now Production's closure, unless you count Super Mario Party's baseball toybox, but the decline in Mario sports games hasn't deterred the dejected baseball fans of the r/baseball subreddit from picking the game apart.

And for $10 people can purchase Gamepass for one month and have access to 100+ games on top of SOTTR.

SOTTR Is a game that you can just beat and then move on anyway.

Zeref1938d ago (Edited 1938d ago )

Yeah and i get almost 200 other games for the same price.

EasilyTheBest1938d ago

Wow can't believe Shadow of The Tomb Raider and Crackdown 3 this month. I only just bought an Xbox One X a month ago and have only played Forza Horizon 4 and Quantum Break...
Is it only me who drives around in Forza just looking at the scenary and looking in shop Windows? The attention to detail is insane....

Marioraider181938d ago

Says the guy who said "I for one was going to hold off buying an Xbox One X, but after the recent news about playing Xbox 360 games and Original Xbox games at 4k I have changed my mind, I will be buying one day one.
I missed out on this gen my last console was an Xbox 360."

EasilyTheBest1938d ago

That is true, due to personal circumstances I had to hold off buying one but I eventually got a gold rush edition of the Xbox One X early this January.. Hope this is OK with you...

Bronxs151938d ago

I’m the kind of gamer that stops in uncharted and god of war just to admire graphics. I never thought I’d be doing that in a race game as well. Forza on the x is simply amazing looking. Heck I stop mid race to look at my car and the lighting and environment like trees in fall or stone bed rivers in spring and just say I gotta stop and look I’ll restart the race!

EasilyTheBest1938d ago

Yes I'm constantly stopping and changing camera positions to look out the side of car etc
Looking through shop and house windows like a peeping Tom.
The scenary is so varied. Just bought Fortune Island today and don't mind one bit as its certainly worth it..

Bronxs151937d ago

Yes see how good the environments /open world are in Forza has me really excited for their rumoured open world rpg. Can’t wait to see what they do...

monkey6021938d ago

Shadow of the TR came around fast! Might actually try it now

Livingthedream1938d ago

This is the only one I haven't played, was waiting for a big sale, this makes it so much more convenient. I say this a lot, the value of gamepass is just incredible.

Vasto1938d ago

Xbox Game Pass is too good!
