Oh. That Vitality sensor has got me sold.

Shadow Flare5590d ago

You know, im usually good at detecting sarcasm, but I can't work out if this article is trying to give genuinely good reasons to buy a wii, or if its sarcasticly showing that there's nothing worth buying one for

Seriously, their first reason is a wiiware game where you play as a slab of meat. I'll counter that title with Gran Turismo 5. No, I am not going to buy a wii for that game. Also in that list is the vitality sensor. Thats when I couldn't tell if they were being sarcastic. No, I am not going to buy a wii for a vitality sensor. I have a ps3. Wii is just the WORST games console since the Sega Saturn

DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR IT. i haven't turned mine on for almost 5 months! even my my niece got bored of it.

tunaks15590d ago

5)Monster Hunter Tri
4)tatsunoko vs Capcom
3)Mario galaxy 2
2)Metroid Other M
1)Zelda Wii
DONE
If that doesn't even make you consider buying a Wii, then your crazy!

TheHardLine5590d ago

'Zelda Wii', no way a new one is coming out in 2010

Fullish5590d ago

"In January 2010, Nintendo Executive Satoru Iwata stated that the game would be coming out some time in 2010"

Jamescagney5590d ago

tunaks1 has the reasons covered. Exclusives galore.

Jamescagney5590d ago

Well at least we can agree on Metroid Other M Band1t. Just not everything else.

(He doesn't want Mario Galaxy 2? He must be crazy!?)

I liked the Wii better when it was called the Gamecube and didn't have controls so bad you have to buy an add-on for it.

"I liked the Wii better when it was called the Gamecube and didn't have controls so bad you have to buy an add-on for it."
Well I liked discussing video games with my fellow gamers until retards who started playing on the PS1 called them selves HARDCOREZ!!!! and trolled. Go back under the bridge.

DeepInterludium5590d ago

I don't know why you're criticizing me. From your list, you obviously like "hardcore" games.

Wii is a Gamecube at 5 times the price with a controller that isn't precise. That's why 3rd parties are running away from the system with real games and are instead going to make casual games.

Wii's top games are Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit. What a great list :|

ZoidsRaven5590d ago

Do you know how powerful the Wii is compared to the gamecube?
I'm guessing you don't. If you did, you wouldn't have posted something so ignorant and misinformed.

But I guess it's ok to copy the fanboy posts on this site, than use them as your own. But don't worry, you're not alone. 90% of the Sony & MS fanboys (who somehow find their way to the Wii section) do the same in this section. 7_7

baum5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

Not many can get all consoles. At some point you have to consider all libraries to make the final decision, and 3rd parties are starting to port everything to HD consoles from Wii. Wii has yet to get any of the amazing IPs that have graced HD consoles and PC. Considering that 360 online costs and that all its exclusives are on PC (which everyone has) and PS3, there is no reason to get a 360 if you are rational. And now that the novelty is wearing off for the Wii, there are hardly good reasons to get a Wii if you don't like their first party efforts. With PS3 you get most games available on the market, tons of high quality exclusive content, free online play that doesn't suck like it does on Wii, and the best HD multimedia center and blu-ray player, nobody can go wrong getting a PS3. If you want motion controls, PS3 is getting them too.

5th Devil of the Ful5590d ago

Actually you can go wrong with the PS3.

As for the 360 and wii, they had something I as a gamer needed. GAMEPLAY. Playing games on games on the PS3 that I can't play on the 360 & wii, felt like a experience at the movies. Yes PS3 games got good graphics, stories, character development and voice acting.
But it's games gameplay is kinda boring IMO (I fell asleep almost every time I played MGS4), and as a gamer gameplay shouldn't be boring. Gameplay, that's all I ( I ) care about in gaming.

So not everyone can go right with the ps3.

From the games posted:
5) Don't want
4) Don't want
3) Don't want
2) Maybe want
1) Want
Oh well not buying a Wii for 3-4 games in total that interest me.
Dolphin works great for that :D
Also the Wii is not much different than the gamecube, infact will controls were originally designed as a gamecube add-on.
Also @above, PS3 doesn't only have 1 exclusive, get over it.

5th Devil of the Ful5589d ago

To what proof (must be confirmed by Nintendo tthemselves) can you give that it was planed to be an 'gamecube add-on'?

I only used one game as an example, I can give more if you like.
By the way, keep in mind that it's only my opinion.

JosiahB5589d ago

My reasons are simillar to tunaks1s:

1)Zelda Wii
2)Monster Hunter tri
3)Metroid Other M
4)Red Steel 2
5)Super Mario Galaxy 2

I really could care less about the other three reasons that they mentioned that were not on my list...

I'll get one if the Vitality sensor came with a rumble pack inside of it. Yea, you know where i'm going with this.

Super Mario Odyssey Turns Seven - Ranking the 3D Mario Games

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With the Switch getting on in years and the prospect of a new Nintendo console growing closer, now seems like an excellent time to take a look back at one of its mascot’s two big evolutionary lines, particularly since we now find ourselves in the longest wait ever between 3D Mario games. Today marks the seven year anniversary for the release of Super Mario Odyssey, and with no full new entry in sight, it comfortably beats the roughly six year wait between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, which should also be good news to anybody who broke a mirror that day.

3D Mario has delighted fans since 1996, maintaining an astonishing level of quality and bringing innovations not just to the 3D platformer genre, but gaming as a whole. Needless to say, it’s a hard task to rank a series where every entry is beloved, but I shall nevertheless undertake this risky venture with my head held high. Wish me luck."

has it rly been 7 years already?

Cacabunga216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

One of the worst marios.. i hated the fact it was only about finding the moons and very repetitive with the same bosses. There is no exploration in this one.
Galaxy 2 is still unmatched

TiredGamer216d ago

I played, completed, and enjoyed Mario Odyssey, but I tend to agree that I don't think it's the best 3D Mario. There was sense of sameness that prevailed after the first couple of worlds... not in the levels, environments, or aesthetics, but in the routine of each world. It just felt like each new environment was just the beginning of another checklist of moons to acquire, and the sheer number of them took away the sense of accomplishment I got from the stars in Mario 64 and the like. I can't exactly put my finger on why that is. Galaxy gets my nod as the best one.

Cacabunga216d ago

I enjoyed it too but i won’t even place it in my top10 mario games.. as you said you are just looking for stars and that irritating music everytime you find one.
Also the bosses are pretty much the same from begging to end. I would have have like some koopalings instead of these dumb useless rabbits

Chocoburger216d ago

I played a little of this game and freakin' LOVED it! But I forced myself to stop because I hadn't played Galaxy 2, which I've been playing every day for the past week. Cripes, Galaxy 2 is way better than I expected it to be! Even though I dislike the Wiimote and nunchuck controls, and it annoyed me a lot with Galaxy 1, part 2 just feels better and slightly less gimmicky when it comes to the controls.

Profchaos216d ago

Sunshine at number 7 no way. I get it's not perfect but it deserves better to date there has not been another 3d Mario that's managed to capture that same movement it's the most acrobatic feeling Mario to date.

It's by and large better than 3d land/world and I'd argue that galaxy 2 didn't offer any trie innovation it was essentially a DLC pack to 1

Personally it's
1) Mario 64
2) Mario Sunshine
3) Mario galaxy
4) Mario Odyssey
5) galaxy 2
6) Bowser fury
7) 3d land/ world.

I never played the first game but I enjoyed Epic Mickey 2 wish they were also porting the second game.

shinoff2183340d ago

I imagine they will if this sells well. It's easy money

Knightofelemia340d ago

That's the problem right there. If it's a good game but it doesn't push the numbers they want they scrap the sequel if there is one. Just look at Dead Space 2 getting scrapped because Dead Space 1 being a great game did not meet the numbers.

gold_drake340d ago

i liked the second one quite abit, but im glad they are remastering the first one
