Top 5 Games We’d Like to See Launch With Wii 2

Game Rant writes, "The Wii 2/Project Cafe/Nintendo Stream is coming and it will be shown as well as playable at E3. Awesome. The system itself is supposed to launch in 2012. Sweet. But what games are going to launch with it? Based on the recent 3DS launch, Nintendo has likely learned the importance of high profile titles on day one. Sure the 3DS is an impressive piece of hardware but, without great games to move the system, a lot of fans seem willing to sit on the sidelines until the must-have software comes out.

Why deal with that problem again for Nintendo’s upcoming home console? Why not launch it with great games on day one? With that in mind, check out our top 5 list of games we’d like to see launch with Nintendo’s next console."

a new nintendo game series. nintendo makes alot of money by using the same series on every platform. it makes them iconic but i still want an amazing nintendo game that isn't mario or zelda and i think it's about time

Valk4748d ago

Why? You'd just ignore them like you have the ones this generation and the last two before it also it seems.

Fora guy with a name like that you sure don't know much about them.

Cruel_Aib4749d ago

wtf top 5 game and no super smas bro fail

Venoxn4g4749d ago

COD?!?!? you are kiddin' , right? :)

sloth33954749d ago

nintendo hasnt said its a Wii 2 so i dont get why site keep calling it that

koh4749d ago

What would you call it?

ChickeyCantor4749d ago

Next-N...

Thats how i would call it.
I mean no one said N64-2 for gamecube, but then again Dolphin was the project name so people eventually started using that.

So why not call it Cafe?

koh4749d ago

Well N64-2 doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but Wii2 is just a convenient way to refer to a product with no set name yet. It makes it clear to anyone what you are talking about. If you call it Cafe in an article you probably will still need to explain why you are calling it that for people who have not heard that code name. Call it whatever you want, but as a journalist, it would probably just be simplest to stick with Wii2 until something more concrete emerges.

ChickeyCantor4749d ago (Edited 4749d ago )

But calling it Wii2 is assuming it will be called Wii2 since Wii is an actual product name.
(PsX -Ps2- PS3?)
Usually journalists introduce the system by saying:
"Nintendos next console: Project Cafe"

This makes more sense since Wii2 implies its a new Wii iteration. And it isn't. People associate Wii with the wii-mote( motion gaming) and the Cafe is suppose to bring new stuff( while keeping the old stuff). It already confuses people making them think its another Gamecube upgrade.

I would say that a journalist should refer to it as Cafe or Stream.
Cause even in interviews with Reggie they kept asking about "wii2", of course Reggie will say No.( cause he is fooling us by taking Wii2 literally )

koh4749d ago

I guess I'd just call it Nintendo's next generation console and have it be clear to everyone

Please, can Call of Duty leave awful Netflix-style menus behind

Call of Duty games used to be streamlined experiences, but COD 2024’s UI could be another nightmarish clutter of streaming tabs.

If we’re beating that drum, can we also stop forcing anyone who wants to play only the single player to download Warzone and all updates BEFORE they are then able to do another download from the menu of the single player campaign. I don’t see why I need 150gb of downloads in several ways to play the single player mode only from a bloomin disk which should have that campaign on it already.

DefenderOfDoom24d ago (Edited 4d ago )

The UI is confusing to me because I have not purchased a Call of Duty iin like 8 years .Only bought CoD MW3 because 3 of my friends I have known since to 70s are playing zombies . But I am used it now .

smolinsk4d ago

The UI is the least of the franchise many problems these days. But yes the UI is also terrible.

GTA 5’s cut “James Bond Trevor” DLC was already part-shot, actor says

The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing6911d ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos11d ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius10d ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy8511d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius10d ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all

Players claim Fortnite ruined Call of Duty by letting in more corporate greed

Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.

Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.

Tacoboto15d ago

The "good ole days" are actually what drove me away from COD and Halo 3/Reach. Halo 4 becoming a COD-like drove me away from that only a week or so after it launched and I beat its campaign.

It sucked way back then, going a month or two without playing online-shooter-of-the-moment, and then needing to buy a $15 map pack to play with the majority of the population or your favorite playlist. The "community" rejecting Spartan Points in MCC killed that game's support, too. No revenue = no support, plain and simple.

Cacabunga15d ago

That headline could easily be something Spencer could have said 😅 I had to check if it was really an opinion piece

KyRo15d ago

As times gone on, the COD battle pass has got ALOT worse so they can push people to buy the more premium battle pass which itself is a huge rip off and nearly half the price of the base game.

The cosmetics can be fine but they've taken it to far to the point of no return. Why make a military themed game then have rabbits, dinosaurs, cats, rats & z list rappers as skins? You wouldn't add a Lamborghini to a fantasy RPG to replace a horse and you would never see Mario have limb dismemberment because they know what they are. COD is having identity crisis but kids and streamer but then all

franwex15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?

Inverno15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Exactly! Trends don't all need to be followed. Plus where Fortnite got somewhat better with it's monetization, Acti got worse. Or at least Fortnite has lended itself more to the wacky stuff, and has put more effort and quality into that stuff.

jjb198115d ago

I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.

PRIMORDUS15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.

StoneTitan15d ago

I mean cant really blame them for supporting the game that made them the most money and the most people player...ever?

Psychonaut8515d ago

Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance.

Ra303014d ago

100% correct! The makers of Call of Duty ran out of ideas long, long ago so they take ideas from other games like Ghost Recon, Fortnite and any other FPS game hat had success hell CoD remasters maps that they've remastered several times already then charge you again for it. Call of Duty is simply a cut, copy and paste and then put the $70 price on it every year. Activision and now Microsoft has been essentially remastering Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare every year since it was released in 2007 its to the point it's worse than the sports game like the Madden, NBA and others yearly sports franchises.
@Psychonaut85 is spot on "Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance"!
