10 reasons to put a Wii on your Xmas list - VideoGameTV

VGTV writes: "Most of you don't like the Wii at the best of times, but there's been the most unholy level of whinging lately thanks to a certain Doug Cruetz of Cowen Group, who thinks the "Wii bubble could be deflating".

Well don't worry, brethren – VideoGameTV has a bike pump. A bike pump filled to the nozzle with killer software. To maintain the pretence of considered judgement, we've jotted down some pros and cons for each title on the list."

I was going to include the COD4 remake on this but it doesn't look too hot... anybody want to disagree?

SpoonyRedMage5264d ago

Decent list of games but some of the Cons are just silly.:P

Apparently Sexy Poker is absolute rubbish and COD 4:MW: Reflex(longer name than FF:CC: Crystal Bearers!) is apparently a good port of the game but if you alreayd have it not much point in getting it a again.

dirigiblebill5264d ago

You did read the bit about wanting to make lots of lame jokes, right? :p

EvilTwin5264d ago

I'd definitely disagree with not including COD:MWR. The reviewers who actually took their time to play the game (and didn't rush out a review in a day like IGN) have good things to say about the game, almost without exception. The controls are great, and it has the best online of any game on Wii.

That said, I would've put the Metroid Prime Trilogy on that list somewhere. It's the best deal on Wii (or anywhere this year, really).

dirigiblebill5264d ago

Metroid Trilogy's utterly, utterly brilliant - the nearest thing the Wii has to an Orange Box, IMO - but I was aiming for recent/upcoming games. (Excitebike is a remake, yes, but it's a recent remake).

SpoonyRedMage5264d ago

Yup, silly isn't bad and Red Steel 2 does need Lightsabers... and you're right about NWMB Wii.

I would have added Rabbids Go Home and/or A Boy and his Blob too.

The Wii's a joke. Always has been, always will be...

blitz06235264d ago

yup. it's a joke that has sold millions all over the world

dirigiblebill5264d ago

Truth be told I haven't run into Boy and his Blob...

Ta for the feedback, always nice to get a conversation going.

eagle215264d ago

I will ALWAYS support the Kings: Sony AND Nintendo. :)

Close_Second5264d ago

...has some great titles but they should stick to exclusives and keep away from the multiplatform releases. Just look at how dated COD4 looks on the Wii. Graphics may not matter but once you have experienced a game like COD4 on a better system its hard to go back.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest306d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__306d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic306d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh306d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51306d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos306d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz306d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183306d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

I enjoy when games are treated as art.

annoyedgamer1113d ago

Hitman should go in there. That Japanese level is something to behold.

Sirk7x1112d ago

The village in Monster Hunter Rise has wonderful art direction.

Cherry blossom viewing parties are a real thing? 🤔
