Wii Games Get Better In 2009

I hope the Wii's games are going to get better. I have my Wii above my 360 collecting dust... and I feel sorry for it.
Come on, Nintendo. You can do it. New, good games... NOW!

I don't know for Wii games, I don't give two shits about the Wii myself. Actually I might switch to your side for this one. I would like to know how and where they get these 'ratings'.Kiutu said:
It does have good games, it's just that their drowned in loads and loads of shovelware. That's what was keeping the average rating down. The good ratings from good games were cancelled out by crap ratings from crappy shovelware. It's a shame really.
Well the holiday hasn't started yet, and that's when all the good PS3 and Xbox 360 games come out (and after all the delays, this includes the beginning of 2010), I'll be impressed if these scores remain the same through the end of the year.
Cursed Mountain is one of the few titles to get motion controls. It has a really interesting situation where you have to do ritualistic hand gestures to free the spirits you encounter and oddly enough... it's really immersive. It's feels like you're actually doing something significant. Twilight Princess is one of the many titles that had it wrong.
Speaking of Cursed Mountain... ;-)midpipps said:
I was a little hesitant about getting the game because the reviews are modest scores (but they praise everything that I find lacking in most games). However, it's doing something that needed to be done for the Wii... mature gaming. It's not mature because it has loads of violence and nudity. It's mature because it doesn't cater to a child's intellect.
I have to warn you though, it's not an action game. It's a slower paced adventure. I really liked Endless Ocean for it's relaxing pace and this game feels the same. Many of the reviews claimed that gamers would have to get used to running everywhere, but I'm finding it quite enjoyable to just walk (hike) and treat it like a realistic experience. I only run when the ghosts are chasing me. ;-)
I think I'm about half way through, but it's been really good so far. It's based on Tibetan lore and feels very rich in setting. Play it at night in the dark. Good stuff.
This seems to be it considering I'm missing all those supposedly great titles that would influence such a come back.CantFaketheFunk said:
... That said, it's also true that the words "good for a wii game" are becoming more and more common on Wii games' reviews these days. It's kinda like reviewers have accepted the limited potential of the Wii and condescendingly scaled their expectations accordingly. Kind of like you congratulate a retarded kid for finishing a race, even if it takes him twice the time everybody else would...
This confuses me. Google is your friend in this case.Cryo84R said:

Unless getting headshots is serious business for you, your PS3/360/games console is a toy. It might be able to do other things, but it's first port of call as a games console is that it plays games. Ergo, it's a toy. No clue what the Wii must be playing if they aren't games though, guess you've got me there, I guess it isn't a games console. >_>
Oh snap! He got called out!scotth266 said:
And such. If you're implying what I think you are, that pisses him off actually, he would disagree.
Cursed mountain actually sounds pretty interesting may have to look and see if I can find it around here. I had not even heard of this game which brings me to probably the biggest qualm with wii. There is so much junk coming out it is hard to sift through to find the gems that are not AAA and marketing is pretty much nonexistant for anything other then nintendo or ea games which is sad because I am sure there are some better games that just skip by without anyone noticing.Echolocating said:
You have to remember that a whole lot of the people who bought the Wii are not hardcore gamers, and they don't have TIME to be hardcore gamers. They may seen an hour a week as totally worth their money for the system, thus pushing the averages way down even if Wii-owning "classic" gamers use the system just as much as PS3 owning gamers.
Oh good then, everybody wins.scotth266 said:?ChromeAlchemist said:
I was saying he would be pleased at this guy proving that the quality of Wii games is supposed to be very similar to those of other consoles.
If you think I'm calling him a fanboy, trust me, I'm not
Except me. Because I was wrong. So I'll go off myself then. Rifle in the mouth, or electric sander to the throat?
These aggregate scores are completely useless. They're a collection of subjective opinions from a VERY small group of people hired to be the voices of taste and reason. Screw 'em. They didn't take into account the most important opinion of all, mine (see 'yours').
Just because critics liked the Wii games 6% more, doesn't mean the games are actually better. It's a subjective score, given on an arbitrary basis. These companies just want bite-sized quips to add to their game box. "Almost perfect..." IGN 9.0
