Wii Game Recommendation Thread -- ALL 'which game to get' questions HERE

[QUOTE="Dark_Link142"]

Eh, once again, anyone played Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance? Can you tell me which is better and if it's worth getting? Just want some opinions here :P . Thanks in advance.

Phantom5800

Thanks. I'll probably get them soon. Path of Radiance is only 30 dollars, and Radiant Dawn is only 40.

Well Right now im stuck between a rock and a hard place, Ive got my "game buying descision" down to two choices, Either buy Okami or get a Wii Points card and download Star Fox 64, Super Mario Bros 3 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3(I have enough points because i have some leftover) all games ive never played. So which is the best choice since i really can't go wrong?

TheColbert

I have all 3 of these games on VC, and they are all easily steals. Super mario bros 3 imo is the greatest Mario game that ever existed, Star Fox 64 being the best Star Fox game yet, and Sonic 3 being the best Sonic game ever made.

Okami is $50 bucks and is only 1 game. VC games FTW!!!

$40, actually :P.

And yes, I suppose the VC games probably win over Okami in this case. Okami's still great :D.

Somebody give me a good VC game title to download. I'm sitting with 500 points left so it can't be too expensive. Whats a cheap steal that will keep my attention more than twice playing it?wii360fan

Startropics (an zelda spinoff) or Super Mario Bro 3. Also the zelda NES original game is pretty clasic, a old-school, but dunno how much you would like it, even thus you seems to be a fan of the series...

That said: Unless you really really want to get a VC game, I would wait for Wiiware launch, and if after that you do not like any game on launch and still want to spent the points get then the VC games... :)

Enjoy gaming...

Appreciate it. I'll wait for Wii Ware launch. Forgive my ignorance because I've been engulfed in finals in school but when does Wii Ware launch?

np.. :) and we all get got into real life stuff.. nothing to forgive dude :P

like the person above said: May 12th..

And even thus kotaku publish this a day after Chris let us know this .. now like I said on that last thread... dunno about being launch releases...

@Thetrent1: Hmmmmm... hard.... well it all depends what a hard game is for you. For me I do not think that there is any HARD game for Wii, exc of course on the VC.

Like you stated MP and NMH are average (exc for the one hit mission on NMH) but of the 2 MP3 would be more hard, imho.

Now: have you play RE4?? is not hard but it can be pretty challenging (specially bc of silly ashley :P ) and fun... If you did not got the game for PS2, is WORTH it...

Hope that helps somehow, sorry could not help more...

btw: the tomb raider was mention to me as a bit hard, but for my experience is bc of controllers no actually the game. Getting use to teh controllers get a lil while and if you do not play it often, you kind of need to get use to them everytime you pick the game. at least for me.

it launches 12th of may.

On another note - does anyone have any opinions on Wii game difficulty?
I mean i have Zelda Princess Twilight, MarioKart, and Mario Galaxy.... all of which seem fairly easy.
Are there any decent difficult games? Ive been looking into No More Heroes and Metroid 3 but people say their average again, and like zelda, buying it, and finishing it easily isnt worth the money.
Thanks! Opinions...thetrent1

Metroid Prime 3 is a great game and the difficulty is great too. The settings are normal, hard, and (once unlocked) Hyper Mode which is pretty challenging.

I don't know about No More Heroes though...

Some other difficult games are Sonic and the Secret Rings and Battalion Wars 2.

Would anyone here recommend that I download F-Zero?

I played the GBA title a few years ago and found it vaguely entertaining, and the GC game was alright.

The thing is that I'm really itching to play a SNES racer for some reason and Super Mario Kart is no where in sight...

What do you think, should I get F-Zero (btw is it a really hard game? Is it easy to get the hang of?), or should I hold out for Super Mario Kart, whenever that will finally be released?

why is Mario Party 8a "must have" and Okami it's in "others", just because it's a N title doesn't make it better, and in my opinion it sucks they only recicled everything again like they did it the last 6 timesLisandro_v22

Mario Party 8 isn't a must have. It's in the party games section. There's no denying that lots of people love the Wii as a party console. And Mario Party is a good party game.

it is my favorite game for the wii!

its funny full of action and just superb!

i would rate it out of 10...10000/10

Hey, I was curious if anyone has had a chance to play the FFCC WiiWare title.

Is it any good? How much does it cost?

Why isnt boom blox up there? Matthew_han

It just came out and hardly anyone has played it. I don't base this list off review scores.

so i want a new game and i was thinking either mario kart or mohh 2 and was wondering which would keep me more intrested for a longer non-reptitve timeSgtpeppers445

Depends what you prefer. FPS or racing? Either one you get, you won't lose. They're both non-repetitive.

I know that I am probably the only one, but I think that Super Mario Sunshine was a far better game than galaxy (Do not get me wrong I do think that Galaxy rocks!)

[QUOTE="Matthew_han"]Why isnt boom blox up there? JordanElek

It just came out and hardly anyone has played it. I don't base this list off review scores.

It brings me back to my childhood when I'd make a tower of blocks just to see them get knocked over, only I can go back and see it happen over and over. There's nothing better than seeing an explosion of tiny blox flying all over the screen. It's a blast making your own levels, I could spend an entire day doing that, making the next great Rube Goldberg type level. It's been a long time since I've had so much fun playing multiplayer.

I can't believe just how much fun I'm having with this simple yet incredibly addictive game. It's so good, I haven't touched GTA IV or Mario Kart Wii in days.

Thanks for impressions, ozzsoad. I'm fairly certain that Boom Blox will be added to the list, maybe even in the Must Haves section.

WiiWare games will be included in their own section of this list. I'll only be listing the Must Haves of WiiWare since there will be such a wide selection of games coming. PM me with recommendations.

I downloaded Lost Winds this morning. I've only been able to play up to the first save point, but it's pretty awesome so far. The controls are spot-on and the presentation is perfect. The attention to detail is great. I have a feeling it might be one of the first highly recommended WiiWare games, though that might depend on how long it turns out to be.

Jordan, you should add the following:

Party titles: Boom blox.

other: bully, SSX blur, fire emblem.

about: "They aren't as widely appealing as the must-haves, but they're high-quality and worth a look", the whole point of a recomendation is to let people now about good games, so a game that's "widely appealing" is a must-have and a game that's very good is an "Other"

and by the way "widely appealing" and "best of the best" aren't synonyms

Does No More Heroes is long?

And I was thinking about getting it along with RE:UC or spending the same amount on Okami..

MonsieurX

NMH is quite lengthy, though don't expect an RPG length.

but i couldn't understand your second request quite clearly, do you think you should get both NMH and RE or get Okami alone?

if so, then i can't help you :P but Okami is a better game than RE even if i didn't play it.

MonsieurX

if you complete the whole game 100% (buy all stuff, get alll items... and such..) you would spend between 15-20h... you can play it a second time for a extra 8-10h if you want to get the extra unlock art work....

hope taht helps....

the 3 games are pretty good..... I would get NMH + RE:UC and would wait for Okami to drop price a bit... :P

Should I get Wii Fit or Mario Kart Wii? I loved previous Mario Karts, but think the Wii Fit is interesting.sk_chaingang54

MK.... I have not play Wii Fit, nor I will... But MK is imho the BEST multiplayer... specially online... and if you like teh series you would LOVE this one... nice amount of character to unlock as well as karts/bike... and you have the ghost stuff.. and if you like compete for ranking... well.... you would spend a LOT of time to beat ppl worldwide... :)

enjoy gaming...

I have a question. Although i might as well direct this question to Chang because she answers everyones:P. Anyway Boom blox to me looks so extremely entertaining is it something that'll stay fresh? Is the multiplayer fun? Is it's lengh as huge as it sounds? I heard something like hundreds of challenges and is the edit mode any good? Is it easy to use?

Thanks for any help you guys and Chang:P can provide.

:lol: :lol: :lol: OMG... ROFLMAO...

yea... I decide to answer as many Q i can during vacations, I got piss one time I was here and I waited almost 2 days for one answer, so...

Anyway... sorry in this case I cn not help you, I do not get much multiplayers...

Thus any answer of this would be nice.. I`m thinking of trading RRR2 and this seem to be a good option for my multi fun... I need one more "adult" than RRR2, it got kind of boring the 3rd-4th time, one of my friend just play for about 15min and said.. "no, too childish" :? ...

I was thinking about getting RE4 or Mario Kart Wii. I've never played a resident evil game but it looks really cool.c00lb1u3

I'm probably gonna play it with people that rarely or never do play wii are the controls simple? Anyway from the sounds of it i'm getting it in june. Thanks for all of the help. When i saw the game i thought it looked puzzling and very fun. I can't wait to play it bcause it looks perfectly designed for the wii.

hey dude.. thx....

I`m trading RRR2, it end up being funny, but kind of too "child" (sorry to fans)

So I was wondering, when I was recommended RRR2 they say it was good, fun to all age. my friends and I had a problem with the fact that the game is too much of teh same, it does not have pretty much any challenge, and for some reason we had to play around 10 mini games in a rod (maybe I had to unlock something, dunno) The game was great the 1st time, I even came here and recommended myself, but now I do not, at least no for "adults".

Could you fill me in with that... I`m 28yo and my friend are btw 27 and late 30`s... I know that the jenga type would be a blast bc we enjoy that one as a board/table game.. But what about the rest of the games??

Short:

1. A group of late 20`s up to late 30`s would enjoy this game with some snacks and wine?? One of my friend and I are the only "gamers" the others are just "casuals"

2. do the game get repetitive? There are suppose to be over 200 games, but how similar are they??

3. Do I have to unlock stuff bf I get to play minigames?? (I`ll get the game in june, and i will be back on full schedule by then)

4. Are the game "simple" e.g. jerga, you said move the block L or R, but do you really need the "balance" needed for the board game or a gross movement would do it??

Thx :D:D

(sorry for all the Qs, I would like a multi minigames to stick with :) )
