I've been waiting for Paper Mario since I was fortunate enough to get my Wii just before Xmas after weeks of hounding at my local Tescos (And their lies about not getting more stock in..). In fact, I've been waiting for any "good" game for the Wii since putting Zelda down.
Wii Sports are great, well.. the bowling and baseball elements are anyway, but they're definitely not justifying a price tag and Nintendo got it right not to "charge" for it. Zelda is one of the greatest games of all time... and once I get my component cable Ill be back into it (it looks shit on my current TV via S-video cables), but there isn't much out at the moment justifying a PAL price tag. The games I had interest in (Trauma Center and Super Swing Golf) have been postponed in Europe and are coming soon (6 months late isn't good enough in 2007).
I'm starting to see the light and almost believing the Wii
is a fad... I hate to say it too, but Nintendo Europe are doing
NOTHING to rectify this and I just think we will continue to get the shaft throughout the life of the Wii. I was hoping to hear some good news when searching for PAL releases in Q2, a quarter thats never really full of great games, but as Nintendo have fucked us out of the release of a lot of games thus far, I wanted to see one "Home Run" title to make me believe in the Big N.
But the Wii line up is as follows for Q2 in Europe:
- Wing Island (Nintendo / Hudson) - 13th April 2007
Never heard of it... Hudson haven't released a good game since Saturn Bomberman arguably and their latest revision, Bomberman Act:Zero is an atrocity to man that should be
buried in Nevada with all those copies of E.T- Chicken Little: Ace in Action (Disney Interactive Studios) - 20th April 2007
Don't make me punch someone in the mouth...
- Cooking Mama Wii (505 Games) - April 2007
I actually have to say I kinda want to play thing game *hides head in shame*
- Elevator Action (505 Games) - April 2007
Sounds like cheap porn...
- Pop'n Pop (505 Games) - April 2007
Bust A Move ripoff maybe? Jordans breasts at 35,000ft? Who knows...
- Heatseeker (Codemasters) - April 2007
Again, sounds like cheap porn... involving Cowboys and pudding in hot tubs... *shudders*
- BIONICLE Heroes (Eidos / TT Games) - April 2007
Wow... I can already get this title on my 360 so I'm not going to pay more for a bastardised PAL Wii version.
- Eledees (Konami) - April 2007
NO NO NO NO NO!!! ITS
ELEBITS YOU FUCKS!!!! I really, really, REALLY can't believe they had to rename this game... and I really can't believe how late this game is as its one of the few games I really wanted to play. It's since been ripped to shreds so I'm not even sure I'm going to bother now anyway.
- Impossible Mission (System 3) - April 2007
Woohoo... old skool C64 action. Impossible Mission in my memories was an amazing game and I'm afraid to emulate it in fear of shattering that illusion. If this game blows I'm going to be very sad indeed.
- Mario Strikers Charged Football (Nintendo) - 25th May 2007
First game to support online play.. hmm... nah, Winning Eleven X anyone??
- Brunswick Bowling Wii (505 Games) - May 2007
Wii Bowling is about as professional as my bowling fix needs to be and that came free with my Wii...
- World Championship Poker Featuring Howard Lederer: All In Wii (505 Games) - May 2007
Gambling for fake money... sounds great! Oh wait... no, no it doesn't... PKR.com?
- Spider-Man The Movie 3 (Activision) - May 2007
Movie exclusives... now they're always great games...
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (Disney Interactive Studios) - May 2007
... see previous sarcasm...
- Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (Midway) - May 2007
Has there not already been an Mortal Kombat: Armageddon?! Great use of a cliche word rather than a number..
- Puzzle Balls (System 3) - May 2007
Oh LOLOL... better than
Sticky Balls I guess!
- Chicken Shoot + Egg Catcher (ZOO Digital Publishing) - May 2007
So let me get this straight... I have to massacre chickens by blowing them to bits with a shotgun, then I have to steal their eggs? What a great idea for a game! 0.o
- Pangya! Golf with Style (Nintendo) - June 2007
Golf with Style. Notice the capitalisation of the word Style. Fuck me Nintendo, why not call it "Paris Hiltons Pangya! Golf with Style" and have that cum gobbling whore say "Thats hot..." after every shot. I'm seeing pink golf bags and golf balls with her Chihuahua on...
- Dave Mirra Racing Wii (505 Games) - June 2007
I wondered what happened to the source code for
BMX XXX... well heres our answer!
Oh please... leave the movie exclusives alone will you! Transformers was good back in the day... LEAVE IT ALONE!!
- Mercury Meltdown Revolution (Ignition) - Q2 2007
You think someone would have told the development team that mercury is perpetually in a liquid state and the concept of it melting isn't a revolution...
- Metal Slug Anthology (Ignition) - Q2 2007
Great game... emulated brilliantly by my original Xbox that still resides underneath my TV.
Well... thats the lot! No Super Paper Mario, no Mario Galaxy, no Metroid, no Resident Evil 4 for Wii. Nothing! Youll see those titles on the other side of the Atlantic but not in Europe. So fuck you Nintendo, I'm off to Mr. Modchips so I can actually play some good games on the console with so much promise. This is the last time I get stung by a PAL machine, I swear to fucking Christ!!
