Thalzon Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've bought so many Wii games this summer and barely finished ANY of them. Punch-Out!! - Stuck on Aran Ryan in Title Defense mode. Excitebots - Played it half to death already, and I STILL need to unlock the Ant, Lizard, Roach, Squid, and Monster Truck vehicles. Online is a blast, though. World of Goo - I actually finished this one. Used 3 passes throughout the game for particularly annoying levels. FF4 After Years - I'm at Kaipo. Megaman 9 - I've only been able to beat Galaxy Man. I suck at this 2D platformer stuff. Little King's Story - It's still in its shrink wrap. Wii Sports Resort - I popped it in to give it a try. Surprisingly compelling! Flying around with the plane is currently my favourite thing to do. Basketball is a tiresome pain in single-player. 100-pin bowling = <3. Startropics 2 Zoda's Revenge - I'm on Chapter 4, the London Sewers right now. The boss is tough, but then the whole game is thanks to the more "free" movement and lack of many bonus weapons. This isn't even counting all the DS games. Guh... Thank god the job I applied for doesn't begin until mid-september and nothing else I want comes out til then, too.

HalcyonSpirit Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've been neglecting my Wii for a while now (mostly because of college, but also because of a lack of funds), and I want to get a new game for it. Not sure what, though. I have Brawl, and I've played Prime 3 and Twilight Princess. I'm thinking about getting Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, or Excitebots for now, but I'm open to other suggestions. I'm mostly on my own, so any multiplayer would have to also be playable online. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Get Excitebots if you want a ton of bang for your buck. Granted, that bang is long and needlessly stretched-out (first you must unlock stuff. Then you have to buy that stuff with stars earned from races in single-player and online, but everything is pricey and it'll take a ton of races to buy everything). Mario Galaxy is a quality title, of course, and a pleasant challenge. Mario Kart is cheap as hell, though that can arguably be part of the appeal. Both Mario Kart and Excitebots have gpretty good online. If you want a serious timesink that still manages to be fun, I strongly suggest Rune Factory Frontier. It's an addictive action-RPG where fighting is just the crunchy crust to a gooey delicious-flavoured filling of farming, fishing, mining, crafting, marriage, and festivals. Only downside is the micromanagement aspect of maintaining the little spirits on every field map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollgagh Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've never really liked any Mario game except for SML I'll play Wario games all day long though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Those platforming-in-a-void areas in Sunshine were pretty tight, IMO. In retrospect, it seemed like they working out Galaxy elements with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The main reason I dislike Mario Sunshine is because of the water pack thingy. I feel that they focused too much on water pack abilities and not enough on Mario himself. In fact the times when I was most happy playing that game was when they took the water pack away. Additionally (might as well put it in spoiler text lol): Do they expect me to actually feel genuine emotion when the (for the most part) inanimate object dies? "...Mehrio" Yeah, it was a bad idea to give Bowser a voice as well. ... I dunno, maybe I'm being too harsh on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadcast Bowsette Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I love just about every Mario game except those old school educational ones, and even one or two of those wound up being fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Stunna Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I can appreciate why people consider Mario Galaxy to be good, maybe even great. I just didn't find it particularly compelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Shadow Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 i take it youve been neglecting the homebrew side of your wii then, too atma? use this http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Dop-IOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 actually apparently my chip is working fine as all my games work except animal crossing the only reason that was the one i tried was because thats the only game my sister plays and shes the only one that uses the wii (like 8 hours a day) time to reburn (probably the ios patching i did conflicts with the new firmware) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, I second Dop-IOS (use it on IOS60 or 61... might as well use it on both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penfold Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Everyone who has a gold/platinum membership at club nintendo needs to claim their free gift by August 11 2009. Who here is getting a hat... Haha, I dunno if I'm gonna get the hat or that Punch-Out!! downloadable game...probably the hat, given that I already own Punch-Out!! and all it seems to be is you fight Doc. EDIT: Unrelated, but, is it just me or do all of the WiiWare projects from Nicalis look amazing? Their Cave Story, Night Game, and Project G all look really great to me.

Rambo Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 If this is what that trilogy pack actually looked like. I'd definitely buy it. If I were Nintendo I'd pay this guy for his design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalzon Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The football game? Man, my friend and I used to play that all the time! It was an awesome little gem. But honestly, beyond the old Squeenix stuff, I can't rightly remember too many games from that generation that aren't already on the VC. Well, those and Earthbound, but we're never getting that.
