    i wouldve been with you on that..but having thought about my wii and my 360,the amount of must have games on both is around the same,depending what you consider musthave...

    GTA IV
    Call Of Duty 4
    Bioshock
    Halo 3
    Orange Box

    Mario Galaxy
    Metroid Prime 3
    Zelda
    Smash Bros. Brawl.
    Mario Kart



    there are more from each console as well,but i reckon its about average

    More RE games (the Wii port RE0 will be anticipated)
    An MMORPG of some sort.


    I'm beginning to think that they are going to develop games around sensor technology rather than focus on the graphics engine or upping capabilities, so we'll see more fun games but nothing to wow the eyes.

    Better third party support, I have 5 wii games, 4 of them feature Mario :D

    a great tennis game
    a hip boxing game
    a rapid ski game
    a proper fps
    a good hack

    Well I'd say a Virtua Tennis is a definite future release, given that Sega Superstar Tennis uses the same engine.
    Hip boxing game, doubtless EA have a Fight Night yet to appear.
    Family Ski on the Wii isn't bad at all, although it really needs a sequel to that great N64 game 1080.
    An fps? Surely COD3, MOH: H2 and Metroid Prime 3 are enough 1st person thrills for you?
    A good hack, the twilight hack not doing it for you?

    I think the lack of voice chat during online games is a real shame, Would be great for playing with mates in the UK.

    Some better third party development would certainly be a good thing. I'm a mario fan but I'd like to see soem other stuff too, something that idn't involve bratz or poorly animated pets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 741 ✭✭✭Chumpski


    Agree with third party support. Although things are much improved in this in the past couple of months.

    Online rankings, etc. for all online games as standard like mario kart has.

    More sports games that now take note of what konami has done for Pro Evo.

    Wii will never get online voice chat. Nintendo don't want to run the risk of people being verbally abused when they use their games. It ain't gonna happen.

    Fair enough, but I would imagine they are talking about a watered down or friends only product..

    I can't, for example, imagine it would be brought to a point where you could go into an online game with random strangers (e.g. Mario Kart) and be able to talk freely with everyone there. Or more to the point, be able to listen freely to all of the abuse that would come with it. ;)

    Yeah playing halo while some american 12 year olds SCREAM obscenities at everyone was incredibly annoying. Even a product for friends use would be welcome though.

    Or just an extended version of portal would be good!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭stevoman


    wireless keyboard.

    a better installed flash player.

    god damn micro machines and mortal combat on the vc!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,033 ✭✭✭Niall0


    Online multiplayer VC games!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,332 ✭✭✭valleyoftheunos


    a wireless keyboard would make the internet channel at least partially viable, its essentially unusable for anything other than the briefest of searches at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,906 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    a new wii-only Zelda title.

    Not sure I'm bothered about that. Although maybe in MOH or something the the screams of panic and frustration add realism ;)

    MORE FPS games, i.e. Quake, Doom, anyhting along those lines. The system is crying out for them. Look how well Metorid controls work.
