Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party is a sequel to the mediocre minigame collection this time using the balance board. Again it looks like low budget garbage

Shaun White Snowboarding is a watered down version of the 360/PS3 game with less features and without the ability to go anywhere

IGN was impressed with their hands on of Shaun White Snowboarding. It's not shovelware just because it's not the same as the PS3/360 versions...and when you consider the differing graphical capabilities and control types, it really shouldn't be the same.

These aren't shovelware in any shape or form imo. RRR 3 I will pass on but the snowboarding game looks cool, as for it being watered down it's on the Wii so you can't really expect the same game as the 360/PS3 version.

Ubisoft always manages to find a way to ruin most of thier games. I bet all three versions of the snowboarding game will be utter trash.

Ubisoft Announces more games that everyone knows will be crap but Jaysonguy will defend to the death :P.

Actually, a Ravin Rabbids game using the balance board sounds pretty badass

Shaun White Snowboarding utilizes the balance board. Potential to kick major ass.

Both of these look like solid titles, and a great use of the balance board.

RR games are terrible to me, yes I have the right to my own opinion, and why would I buy Shaun White Snowboarding? It is the same as buying watered down ball park beer at twice the price you should pay.

Ubisoft has officially lost my respect.

Edit: Hang on, this guy flames the Wii nonstop on SW. While the info is true, I think the thread itself may be flamebait.

Nope. Sorry, you're wrong. Just watched a video on IGN for Shaun White Snowboarding and the game is going to be fun as hell, especially with the Balance Board.

Everyone reading this, just wait for 1080. It'll come. And it'll blow your mind.

My point is that all cross platform games that come to Wii are going to be 'watered down.' The Force Unleashed is watered down for Wii and obviously isn't shovelware. I'm not saying it's going to be an amazing game, but if game reviewers who have actually played a build of the game are impressed by it, I generally don't consider it shovelware.

This is more of a SW topic, but honestly those games look great. By more shovelware i thought you meant Petz or something. By the way vic, why do you hate the wii? And don't tell me all its faults, i hear those everyday. Do you have another reason?

I think RR would be cool with a balance board, but I want this game to have an interesting plot, or absolutly none at all. I hated story mode in the first one.

Ubisoft are basically the gods of shovelware. Thankfully the Wii isn't as tormented by them as much as the DS is. >_>

Edit// I don't mean to call Rabbids shovelware, I'm just saying that Ubisoft haven't had a decent track record for the past few years.

So how they look determines how they play or how fun they are?

Quick question though, would you be more interested in Dogz if it had better graphics? If so, LOLZ to you good sir! I don't believe Virtual Pet games are aimed at an age group that really cares about "Dude, HI-REZ!" And i'm pretty sure the older folks that play Virtual Pet games could care less about the graphics as well.

So, what is your point?

I don't see the shovelware...both Rabbids games have been fun, and balance board could combine for something awesome.

rayman isnt even an important character, he is not even selling the games. They can replace him with anybody and itll be the same. He couldnt even * SPOILER KINDA* save his frog friends in the first game. they could leave out the rayman. you mention raving rabbids and the game will still come to mind.

if they improve the controls on three (i actually felt that 2 was a step backwards in terms of control. the slapping game was much tighter and better on the first one) i will buy this game.

I haven't played the second, but is he even in it? Of all the gameplay videos I've seen, I literally didn't see Rayman once. :|

With well previewed exclusives like De-Blob and the graphically impressive Deadly Creatures from THQ, I think you should revise your assumption on who is the better publishers. At-least THQ is delivering some real games on the Wii, and I never thought I would say that, but I don't hjow anybody can defend UBI Craps offering for the Wii.
