Reasons To Get The Wii
Wheter or not your getting an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 (like me) this generation, you cannot not take a look at the Wii and check it out, one of the strangest but potentially best consoles ever unveiled, Nintendo's next generation console.
Wii Compilation Video - The Console - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ii_at_E3_1.jpg With a small and sexy design, Wii promises to be the funnest video game console in the market, with the size of 3 DVD cases stack together, this console can play Wii discs and Gamecube Minidiscs for full backwards compatiblity. The Wii also has several channels for multiple purposes, watching photographs in a simple, cool way, the ability to stay conected to the internet and get demos and updates for your games, buy and download cheap classic games like The Legend Of Zelda, Super Mario World or even Sonic The Hedgehog. There is also a cool feature called Virtual Console, Virtual Console is the name of a new video game download service offered by Nintendo, accessible to users of the company's upcoming console, the Wii. Described by Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata as “the video game version of Apple’s iTunes Store”,[1] the service will feature classic titles from past Nintendo consoles (from the NES to the N64) as well as from formerly competing systems, such as the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, Commodore 64 and MSX. Virtual Console may also offer new and original content from independent developers. Support from Japanese Third Parties includes most of the major companies in Japan. Atlus, Namco Bandai, Banpresto, Capcom, Chunsoft, D4 Enterprise, Enterbrain, HAL Laboratory, Irem, Jaleco, KEMCO, Koei, Konami, NCS Masaya, Netfarm, Paon, Rocket Company, Square Enix, Sunsoft, Taito, Takara TOMY and Tecmo all join Sega and Hudson Soft as confirmed supporters. The Wii doesnt offer incredibly graphics like its competitors, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but it does offer something that has never been done on a console before, motion sensing with an evolved controller which promises better gameplay, more fun and for less money, the Wii will retail for $250 in the US and a bundled game. Not only that but it also provides with free WiFi that you will get as you get your Wii, allowing you to play games online with your friends or with people all over the world. The Wii will come out in stores on november 19th in the US, being followed by a worldwide launch 2 weeks later. - The Wii Remote - http://www.ecetia.com/wp-content/upl...05/wiimote.jpg Whats so special about the Wii? Definitely its controller, full motion sensing, the controller divides itself into 2, the main Wiimote and the nunchuck attachment, both can sense movement, therefor, it provides you with much more posibilities than any regular console, the Wii can act as your sword like in Red Steel, as your tennis racket like in Wii Sports, as your gun like in Metroid Prime 3, or simply it can be an addition the the gameplay mechanics brining much more posibilities like in Super Mario Galaxy or Splinter Cell: Double Agent. - The Games - In my opinion, whenever your buying a video game console, one of the most important factors should be the game library, Nintendo consoles perhaps have been known for only having notable first party games, or kiddy games, or not enough games, after you see this list, you will notice how Wii offers oposite. This are my most awaited Wii games: Red Steel Wii Exclusive Developer: Ubisoft Release date: Wii launch Genre: First Person Shooter Official Trailer 3 http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9...1620808he5.jpg http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/7204/redsteelvy8.jpg Did you think that consoles first person shooters were bad and not worth it (besides Halo I mean)?, with the Wii controller that may change, with the Wii controller acting as your gun, this first person shooter set in Japan deals with the war of the japanese mafias, Red Steel also deals with katanas, as you will have to use yours to fight with the Yakuza leaders. This game tries to separate from generic first person shooter by offering many great features such as a deep katana fighting, honor system, where your fighting to get support from japanese mafias, not just randomly kill everyone. With an awesome AI, great music, great gameplay, this game promises a lot. Splinter Cell: Double Agent Developer: Ubisoft Release date: Wii launch Genre: Stealth Teaser http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3...5627541vv6.jpg Control agent Sam Fisher as he struggles with the most dificult missions of his career, use the Wiimote to execute diferent actions and help him in this stealth game. SC: Double Agent features a deep storyline where you must choose who to be, as you finish missions, as a double agent. Sadness Wii exclusive Developer: Nibris Release date: TBA 2007 Genre: Survival horror Teaser http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/3...1208962sa1.jpg Probably one of the most innovative upcoming games, or at least one which promises to be, Sadness is a Wii exclusive game which deals with the slavic mythology, use the Wiimote intuitively, this game is set to scare you. According to an interview, the game is meant to scare the player by atmosphere and not by bloodlust or violence. Various methods of playing include slitting the throat of enemies with glass or throwing a rope over a wall using the similar motion with the freehand controller. It was also said by the developer Nibris that the game will have a special way to save your progress. This will happen automatically, at specific moments unknown to the players so it can keep the feeling of reality. Visually the game is to be a black and white stylized gothic horror. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Nintendo exclusive Release date: Wii launch Developer: Nintendo Genre: Action Adventure Official Trailer 1 http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1...1809815sw6.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/592...1803362bh6.jpg Its The Legend of Zelda, its meant to be awesome, but this isnt any Zelda, its the best Zelda game ever created. Ride a dragon, turn into a wolf, use the Wiimote as a sword, or as a rod, use it for aiming your bow or other items, Nintendo promises that this game will even be better than the classic Ocarina of Time, with all the features above plus a game which will take around 70 - 100 hours to complete. It will also be the darkest Zelda ever, Nintendo says it expects a T rating. Disaster: Day of Crisis Wii Exclusive Developer: Monolith Software Release date: TBA 2007 Genre: Action survival Teaser http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9...1603051yx0.jpg Think "The day after tomorrow" meets "24", this survival game with shooting elements is based on the premise of the world being attacked with devastating natural attacks while a rogue group of agents stoles a nuclear warhead, and its your job to stop it. Use whatever means nesesary to survive. From the creators of the popular PlayStation 2's Xenosaga series. Resident Evil: Umbrella Corp Chronicles Wii Exclusive Developer: Campcom Release date: TBA 2007 Genre: Survival Horror/Third Person Shooter One of my most awaited third party titles is Resident Evil: Umbrella Corp Chronicles. The exclusive Wii title is set to link the stories of the series, with scenarios such as the mansion of Resident Evil 1 or the village of Resident Evil 4, the game will use improved RE4 gameplay enhanced thanks to the controller(B will put the view above your shoulder and A will fire). Metroid Prime 3 Wii Exclusive Developer: Nintendo Release date: Q1 2007 Genre: Action Adventure Sci-Fi Shooter Teaser http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/ar...4022547997.jpg http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/ar...0055339872.jpg The conclusion of the Metroid Prime series is one of my personal favorites in Nintendo's first party line up. With upgraded controllers acording to IGN, this title brings up more action and diferent missions for a most fast paced game, the origins of phazon and the culmination of an epic story will be one of my 2007's must buy games. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 Developed by: Spike Genre: Fighting Release Date: November 19, 2006 (launch) http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/6...nballz1na8.jpg Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 takes the acrobatic and intense 3D flying and fighting dynamic of the original and takes it to a whole new level with exciting new features. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 offers the complete DBZ mythology from Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball GT with a staggering roster of over 100 DBZ heroes and villains and an expansive story mode that allows players to recreate some of the storied confrontations from the TV show, or all-new showdowns of their own with characters that never actually fought in the animated series. Lightning-fast fighting, light RPG and action gameplay elements give players the power to engage in titanic battles set in 15 vast and vibrant 3D highly destructible environments. The game also features an improved camera system, expanded levels, and in-game transformations. Sonic Wild Fire Wii Exclusive Developer: Sega Release date: Q1 2007 Genre: Action Platformer Official Trailer 2 http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/6...1040850ou3.jpg Sonic 3D has disapointed us many times, but this lattest Wii exclusive spawn of the series promises us something else, going back to its roots, Sonic Wild Fire is a 2D sonic game in a 3D envoiroment, never sonic has been so fast. It has gotten positive reviews everywhere. Super Paper Mario Wii Exclusive Developer: Nintendo Release date: Wii launch window Genre: Platformer Official trailer 1 http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9...2939674tv5.jpg http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/6...2940330sp0.jpg If you played Paper Mario: Thousands Year Door, you probably liked the Bowser plataforming, Super Paper Mario focuses in Bowser, Mario and Peach in a weird plataformer, but a Mario platformer with alot of features nonetheless, its meant to be great. Trauma Center: Second Opinion Wii Exclusive Developer: Ubisoft Release date: Wii launch Genre: Medical Sim Teaser http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/490...0430988ag8.jpg Despite its nature, Trauma Center was a total hit on DS, with little advertisement, this game became famous due to its innovative genre and its awesome levels of fun, control Derek Styles in diferent operations, using your Wiimote as all kind of tools, this game is fun and addicting, as well as incredibly challenging. Battalion Wars Wii Exclusive Published by: Nintendo Developed by: Kuju Entertainment Genre: Third-Person Action Release Date: US: TBA 2007 Europe: December 31, 2007 http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/4026/bwars1ap1.jpg http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/7382/bwars2tz0.jpg Drive tanks, command ships, pilot planes and direct your troops into the heart of the action in the return of the popular tactical action game. Tricked into believing that the Solar Empire is developing a devastating super-weapon, Commander Pierce and Colonel Windsor of the Anglo Isles launch a pre-emptive strike on the Coral Atolls. The world is once again at war. The game features a series of online multiplayer modes, including Assault (instant combat), Skirmish (tactical depth), and Co-Op (Work with friends.) Crossbeam Studios Series of Wii Exclusives Crossbeam Studios is an independant game development team which is set to bring us 3 epic games starting in 2007, with a lot of years of experience on their team, Im hopefull that they will be able to bring us innovative and epic games. Orb Genre: Action RPG http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2059/test01zw0.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...7/3a49e2bf.jpg Orb is a fantasy RPG, and its suposedly extremly complex, the game has been in development for over 6 years. The game makers wrote nearly 2000 years on the history of Delphire, the land where the game is set, all about religions, realms, culture, everything, one of the most complex RPG ever. With what promises to be an innovative and fun magic and combat system, Orb is a game which I cant wait to know more about, and hopefully it will turn out good. Thorn Genre: Sci-Fi Action Adventure http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...7/51a3b56b.jpg Thorn is a futuristic action adventure set in a cybernetic punk world. Your a former agent and are called to an old friend about a mysterious mission. Darkness Genre: Action Horror http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/3023/798b1b77nd8.jpg Think Resident Evil meets The Legend of Zelda, this game is based on a world conquered by vampires, where humans have to struggle for survival. Call of Duty 3 Developer: Activision Release date: Q1 2007 Genre: First Person Shooter While not a Wii exclusive, I putted this game in my most awaited games because of its controls, when I first saw a gameplay video I tought "Wow thats a PC game", Activision just made the controlls work perfectly, you can make 180 degree turns in .5 seconds, the strafing is awesome, the aiming is precise. Now fix the textures and we will have one of the most solid First Person Shooters on Wii. Super Mario Galaxy Wii Exclusive Developer: Nintendo Release date: Q1 2007 Genre: Platformer Trailer http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/4...0415737pq8.jpg http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/8...0419050xb2.jpg Super Mario Galaxy is one of the strongest first party Nintendo titles Ive seen, you tought plataforming couldnt be done on Wii? This will prove you wrong, jump around beautiful planets collecting stars, this game will make us forgive Nintendo for Super Mario Sunshine, I cant Wait for this game. Rayman Raving Rabbids Wii Exclusive Developer: Nintendo Release date: Wii launch window Genre: Minigames Official Trailer 3 http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/2...1314082ng5.jpg http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/8...1315598am9.jpg A non plataforming Rayman game made a lot of people disapointed, but as soon as the videos and previews came in, that changed, one of the fun simple games for everyone to enjoy, Rayman Raving Rabbids is crazy! Use the Wiimote in light gun, in weird games, in races, with a weird funny humour, this game has around 70 minigames and its gonna be a blast, wheter your playing it alone, but its best to play it with your friends. Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn Wii Exclusive Developer: Nintendo Release date: TBA 2007 Genre: Strategy RPG Teaser http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/739...2129592dw4.jpg If you liked Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, you will like its sequel. For those who dont know the series, Fire Emblem is a medieval strategy RPG, which requires a lot of thinking and its overall very fun, similar to Advance Wars. Excite Truck Wii Exclusive Developer: Nintendo Release date: Wii launch window Genre: Racing Gameplay footage http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/732...5919006uu6.jpg Best racing game at E3, Excite Truck is the sequel to the legendary Excite Bike for NES, control a huge truck in extremly fast races, with huge jumps, a fun racing game. Heroes Wii Exclusive Developer: Grasshopper Manufacture Release date: TBA 2007 Genre: Hybrid Teaser http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/1...eenshotzs6.png Perhaps one of the weirdest, sickest, goriest game last generation was Killer 7, while we still dont know much about Heroes, its posibly a prequel and promises to be just as good, Killer 7 was loved and hated by many, if you liked it, you cant miss this one out. Super Smash Brothers Brawl Wii Exclusive Developer: Nintendo Release date: Q2 2007 Genre: Fighting Oficial trailer http://www.dlmag.com/gallery/.galler...6/2_111765.jpg Snake, Super Smash Brothers, Pit, a deeper single player experience, online play, orchestrated music.
