Sheik026 Sakyh Canis Lupus the LoneWolf Sakyh Arvis_Jaggamar Wii4Mii Believe it or not, the Wii. I constantly hear people going on about how it has no good games out now, yet I can name so many (because I have them all) Excite Truck - 75%Warioware - 81.7%Red Steel - 64.9%Call of Duty - 69.2% (other versions all got over 80%, even PS2)Need for speed (meh) - 65.4%Dragonball Z - 72.4%Legend of Zelda - 94.4% (but is not a Wii exclusive)Transformers - 57.8%SSX Blur - 74%Heatseeker - 63%Wii Sports - 76.6%Marvel: Ultimate Alliance - 74.8%Rampage: Ultimate Destruction - 49.2%I love these games (except for Carbon) The above percentages are taken from www.gamerankings.com, a site that compiles all reviews of a game from reputable sources and averages them into one percentage score. ... So I can only assume you were joking when you said these were all "good games." Perhaps "mediocre" is what you meant to say. Only two games on that list scored over 80%, and only one of them is a Wii exclusive. Incidentally, Trauma Center got an 80.1%, so it's an exclusive that just barely squeaked in, although you could argue that it is better than Warioware at least. It just doesn't have any multiplayer, which is a big weakness since the Wii is basically a "multiplayer-only" console. How is Zelda not an exclusive? I wanna find something I've wanted all along.... Because it's on the Cube too. ....Somewhere I belong Twilight Princess? Yep, the Gamecube's swan song. Exactly the same as the Wii version except no fishing, it was reversed, and, obviously, no Wii controls. Huh. I've only seen the wii version.

Sheik026 Yeah, Nintendo wasn't exactly pushing the Gamecube version... So why even make one? They want people to buy the wii, not the gc.

I think it was mostly because people weren't throwing out their Gamecube's because this game was supposed to come two years ago. It was more of a duty than a willing decision.

The whole point I was trying to make was that there was only one game in that list that scored over 80% that you need a Wii to play. Right now, the Wii is looking like the GameCube 2, only with more useless crap. But yeah, the Boktai series... so underrated... *has no idea what the Boktai series is*

It was a vampire hunting game.

Rampage: Ultimate Destruction (This one really sucked...) Plus, it's missing Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Super Paper Mario, Mario Strikers: Charged, Rayman: Raving Rabbids, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Scarface: The World is Yours, Metal Slug: Anthology, and Mercury Meltdown: Revolution.

Agreed. Except for your review of marvel Ultimate Alliance. the Wii version of that game sucked ALL THE WAY. Lack of online was the least of that game's shortcomings. The entire game was unplayable. A travesty.

It played just as well if you only used the buttons and the motion control was interesting at first. In my opinion, the game really needed online play to be any good.

The motion controls were AWFUL. Arguably the worst application of the Wiimote yet.

Yeah, a friend of mine was bullied into buying it with her Wii (you know, those stupid bundles that EB and all of them do), and she really didn't want it and was offering it for $5 dollars. My brother likes mindless beat-em-ups, so I figured I might as well get it. As for it being the worst application of the Wii-mote yet, I'd have to disagree. Rapala Trophies for the Wii was a fishing game, for the Wii, that had no motion controls for casting and reeling. You pressed the A button to cast and turned the analog stick on the nunchuk to reel.

It was obviously a quick cash in, similar to that poker game for the Wii, but at least that included motion controls. And, on top of that, the game was butt ugly.

I have to say, despite the poor reviews of Lair, I'm really digging the game...
I'd give it a solid 8 out of ten personally.

Part-Time Viking I have to say, despite the poor reviews of Lair, I'm really digging the game... I'd give it a solid 8 out of ten personally. *laughs* I figured you'd post something in here about that. Glad you're enjoying the game, friend. But would it kill you to meet up with me for some Warhawk sometime? wink
