What exciting titles does Midway have coming to the Wii?

IdontTakeSides6040d ago

lol...in other words Midway was hoping to make a quick buck off the Wii this holiday cuz well they haven't made a profit in years..

How hard is is to make a repackaged gamecube? We're talking about a device that is the hardware equivallent of a PC from about 2 years ago that can't even play DVDs. It's pathetic. I know I'm not an expert on manufacturing processes, but they should have increased production by now. IT'S BEEN ALMOST A FULL YEAR and they knew it was selling like hot cakes after a while.

ItsDubC6040d ago

Well then perhaps it's not simply a repackaged Gamecube, right? Accelerometers and associated motion-sensitive hardware were never in such high demand as they are now due to the Wii.

You might have a point if the Wii had a DVD drive instead of motion-sensitive controls.

???

How is that relevant to software sales?

At all?

Zombies they aren't even talking about hardware they are talking about Wii game discs. Which in talking about that is a bit hard to understand. Anywho... Midway games for the Wii were hardly any blockbusters so I'm not sure who they are trying to fool with that one.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos21d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8821d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies20d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
