“It has come to GamePro’s attention that certain parties on the Internet want you to believe that there are no decent games coming out on the Wii. These people are malicious liars, and you should not believe them.” The site then proceeds to list the “21 upcoming Wii games to drool over.”
Though I’d obviously disagree with the inclusion of Wii Music, there’s some good games on the list, namely Super Sluggers, Deadly Creatures, De Blob, Star Wars, World at War, and Wii Sports Resort. But they missed Guitar Hero: World tour.
Agreed, MadWorld is definitely my favorite upcoming Wii game
Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers? Oh yeah… maybe.
Is it possible to reprint the article instead of just linking to it? Or host a copy? I can't open any site with the word 'game' in the site's url. Firewall and all.
Wow. I seriously want Sluggers, Deadly Creatures, Conduit, Fatal Frame, Onechanbara, Wario Land, MegaMan, Mad World.
… Even more importantly, this article is the first I've heard of any No More Heroes sequel talk. I LOVE that game but I was under the impression that it tanked? And here's GamePro telling me it sold well and Suda wants to make a new one. I need to change pants.
I would love to see a sequel for No More Heroes but I hope that they'd drop the sandbox gameplay parts unless they have a big enough budget to make something of it this time. In the previous title those part just felt unfinished so a linear adventure that has the classic level design with a boss at the end of each stage would be much preferred.
What do you mean you don't agree with Wii Music? That's the best title on the list. It's at the top of my list, put it at the top of your list. Best game ever.
I've played Onechanbara on PS2, and well, it's really not very good. Although it does have a girl in bikini slashing up zombies, that's really all it had going for it.
Yeah, I guess I'm a little surprised that GH: World Tour wasn't on the list.
However, I don't recall hearing anything over here that Red Steel 2 was in the works…while it was "confirmed" in the UK magazine, I recall hearing nothing here in North America. Also, the release date for Red Steel 2 is fake as well – no such title exists in the database yet for game stores to pre-order.
And a rumor of No More Heroes 2 is amazing most definitely, but that's just a rumor, not officially confirmed as this list is suggesting.
So this list is fairly good, but the reporter needs to do a few fix-ups to it to make it great. Like take out Red Steel 2 and replace it with Guitar Hero: World Tour.
Mostly garbage here.
"Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers" …BAHAHAHAHA !
Never heard of it until now….
Does ANYONE think this will be a god quality game? .. Yeah, I didn't think so.
Sluggers might be decent, but it is another bloody Mario spin-off…yawn
Deadly Creatures sounds good, but we dont know much of it yet, hardly a must have, I hope I am wrong.
So, yeah. Mostly Garbage here.
No surprise.
Back to my Wonderful DS and 360 at least I will be buying games for those systems all year.
If this is the best list they could come up with, then they aren't going to change many people's minds.
Some of the games I do look forward to (Madworld, NMH 2), but the fact that Onechanbara even makes the list kind of makes the whole thing seem like a joke. Not to mention Castlevania:Judgment. I'll hold my breath that it's going to be that good.
WOW that's a great list they left off some games but hey that's still a solid list though.
She is right about one thing. There are "decent games" coming to Wii. But there really is not much on the horizon for core gamers, and that list – while respectable and, using her term, "decent" – doesn't really change that.
I'm a massive supporter of MadWorld and The Conduit. But two games? "Decent."
So Onechanbara sucks then? When I read about that game in the article it got me kinda exited. Only because it said it would be a "lot like Devil May Cry", and that I think is something awesome since DMC is one of the best "Hack and slash" games in my opinion — at least 1-3 (I haven't played the fourth one yet).
I mean, I really want a DMC game for the Wii and if Capcom won't ever decide to port it nor make some exclusive edition, I hoped that this would be kinda alright anyway.
..but now I'm disappointed when you say it's bad. I haven't heard of Onechanbara before this, so if anyone can, would they please just name a (preferably well-known) game it compares to? A game that's equally bad that is.
When has it been about changing people minds? The so call hardcore have made up their minds let them deal with the self imposed drought of hardcore games. The list is fine and mine is way bigger any way. I've already posted it and if you can't find any good Wii games coming out then that's your problem.
Go on, Blake. Keep on doubting Miyamoto. But when Wii Music is released to tremendous sales and great critical reaction, it'll be just one more glorious reminder of what a dick you've become. To hell with your preconceived notions of what video games are and what they should be. Nintendo will just keep on rocking as hard as they did when they resurrected the video game industry in 80's, and sour old farts like you can continue to rant about how people like Miyamoto—people you know have brought you tremendous joy, people you were once proud to point to and say, "see, THAT'S why I'm a Nintendo fan"—aren't making likes they used to. *Yawn* It's the same old, same old. It's time for whiny hardcore babies like you to just shut up and suck your bottle (PS360).
Poochy – can I still be excited about Wii, Nintendo, and Miyamoto games without liking Wii Music? I sure hope you let me.
And for the record, I'm cas-core, but thanks for forming a blanket negative opinion of me based on a boring unreleased game that you've never played.
Poochy – You must be one of the Treehouse members who "jammed" w/ Miyamoto at E3. How come your timing was so off?
De Blob – Release date buy for me!
Guitar Hero:World Tour – Why is it not on there?
Everything else except Wii Sports Resort is junk.She thinks there are 6 events in Wii Sports!HA!
