- Renton, on 01/04/2008, -1/+71Cruis'n was real? I thought it was just a joke.
- LordofChaosIori, on 01/04/2008, -0/+66I bet Miyamoto is hating those third-parties right about now. "If you want something done right you have to do it yourself." They gave third parties a chance to prove themselves and this is the crap they churn out. They really need to have some sort of minimum quality test for this crap.
- TheWorm, on 01/04/2008, -14/+52These games are an embarrassment to Nintendo. I sold my Wii and bought a 360 because I saw Nintendo making the same mistakes again with the Wii that they did with the Gamecube (had a gamecube too). The mistake is that they sit on their crown of laurels and continue to remake the same old Nintendo games but they don't bring anything new, or go out and get good 3rd party development. That's why we're stuck with a couple good games like Zelda, and Mario galaxy, and a sea of ***** "party games".
- ursername180, on 01/04/2008, -4/+33I just had to laugh at the insanely stupid minigame. Golf-buggy obstacle fire-golf?
- ursername180, on 01/04/2008, -3/+26Mortal Kombat was a great game, thank you.
- BagginsBoy, on 01/04/2008, -0/+23I think this still looks better than the Cruis'n game.
- headband, on 01/04/2008, -1/+21those are actually Vii games
Right??? - DeviantDragon, on 01/04/2008, -0/+19Q: Color me puzzled. Why would anyone, and I mean anyone, want to port a horrid, mostly unseen coin-op rail shooter from 2004 to the Wii?
A: Probably a reasonably high profit margin if not high profit itself considering little money would go into making the port. - bonk2k, on 01/04/2008, -0/+19When the ***** are we going to see Time Crisis for the Wii?
- sweatyyeti, on 01/04/2008, -12/+30The goggles! They do nothing!
- inactive, on 01/04/2008, -2/+20A Zelda game every 6 years is not making me tired of it.
- joe90210, on 01/04/2008, -2/+19Nintendo has always had horrible relations with 3rd party companies, it's the reason why the playstation 1 was so successful, once companies got the chance to jump ship away from nintendo they took it.
- thebellmaster1x, on 01/04/2008, -0/+16Oof. They have that game at my local movie theater. You know. Where it would be appropriate since it entertains you for the five or ten minutes before your movie starts. Whose idea was it to charge $50 for a game I could get much more than enough of by driving to the theater and bringing a roll of quarters?
- u8myfoood, on 01/04/2008, -1/+17really, i thought the graphics looks great, then again it was shrunken to fit the screen of my cell phone...
who am i kidding, it still looks dreadful! - TheWorm, on 01/04/2008, -2/+17Nintendo just needs to do better at getting GOOD 3rd party support. Right now with the crap that keeps getting ported to the Wii its no wonder game companies think its a waste of time and Nintendo just keeps remaking for the 20th time their first-party games.
- JoeDiggsIt, on 01/04/2008, -0/+15thats what it is...
- coppyrightmind, on 01/04/2008, -2/+16wtf? lol these screen shots look like the work I used to do in photoshop for my digital art class in high school.
- TStanNY, on 01/04/2008, -0/+14I don't know how the guy playing golf can remain so calm seeing that there are fireballs and many crazed golf kart riders on the course. I would never be able to focus under such conditions.
- inactive, on 01/04/2008, -1/+14Remember when NES cartriges used to have the "Gold Seal of Approval" to prove they were quality games? They should do that again.
- mookieXL, on 01/04/2008, -0/+10It's a ***** arcade port, it was made to be displayed on 15khz monitors, of course it's going to look like ass on everything else.
Holy *****, Konami, wake up. There's more to porting than recompiling MAME for Wii and loading a rom in it. - inactive, on 01/04/2008, -2/+12Actually, wiimote + nunchuk has more buttons.
Why would a less powerful GPU make it harder? If anything it should make it easier. - robertlankford, on 01/04/2008, -1/+11Not really a big gamer myself (seriously). I've never had a playstation or an x-box. I have, however, had every Nintendo system since the Super Nintendo and play them very sporadically. I vegetated over the Christmas break with Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3, however. All I could think while playing these games (and really, while playing MP3) was "Wow, Nintendo made the right decision". Seriously, MP3 proves that the Wii can and has absolutely beautiful games for it. I honestly can't imagine the experience for MP3 being improved by higher resolution graphics. But I'm obviously out of the mainstream. I have the Wii hooked up to my Dell 24" wide screen monitor (not some monster multi-thousand dollar TV). You have to be back from it a certain number of feet (3, I think) for the Wimotes to start working anyway. At some point, old age, bad eyes, distance from a small(er) screen, adult responsibilities (very limited playing time), and a cheap side all add up to an inability to justify anything this generation but a Wii. And I'm fine with that.
- grumbel, on 01/04/2008, -4/+13Even the long term Nintendo fans are getting tired of Mario, Metroid and Zelda over and over again. After all, once there was a time where Nintendo did try to introduce a new franchise every once in a while, that however seems to have stopped in the early Gamecube days, Pikmin being the last notable new thing.
- blademanx, on 01/04/2008, -2/+11You must have very low standards for your work.
- KingGoonie, on 01/04/2008, -1/+8The gamecube kicked ass actually.
- MasterInsan0, on 01/04/2008, -0/+7Night Trap.
- inactive, on 01/04/2008, -3/+10Looks like Crysis with the settings turned down...
I keed, I keed - DNABeast, on 01/04/2008, -4/+11>> They really need to have some sort of minimum quality test for this crap.
They do. It's called the free market. - KingGoonie, on 01/04/2008, -2/+9Um.. the ps1 had the largest majority of crap games in the history of videogames... Yes it had a large library, but 99% of it was crap... there was less then truly great games on that damn system, talk about overhype. But then again, thanks to its success we got the PS2, which WAS... or I guess can still say IS a truly great system.
But apparently the PS3 is more like the PS1 as far as quality games go... - blahtastic, on 01/04/2008, -1/+8So you want things made so that the same games that are on both the PS3 and 360 can be more easily ported to the Wii. So almost everything is multiplatform, and the wii is the same as the other two, with a regular old controller. Kinda defeats the point.
Not saying that most of the Wii games aren't crap at the moment (not that there aren't enough good ones to keep one occupied --Only counting exclusives, I have at least 6 that I would easily recommend to others, and know of a few others I don't have), but it really isn't Nintendo's fault for making a different console, it's the developers fault for trying to cash in on a success.
I whole heartedly support a minimum quality testing level though. ***** this cruisin and area 51 garbage. - vpshockwave, on 01/04/2008, -3/+9Look at the tags. "MY EYES, MY EYES"
I loled. - KingGoonie, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6Go to your local videogame store... they got at least ten great games already.
- blahtastic, on 01/04/2008, -1/+7Not even close.
Wiimote has ten on the front, one on the back if you're counting the d-pad. Pad=4, A=1, +,-, home=3, 1 and 2 =2, B trigger. Lets not count home cause that always does the same thing, you get 10. Pointing ability, and shaking/tilting ability (Can be used in various ways in a single game, will only count as one each for this example)=2, wiimote total, 10 real, 12 estimated.
Nunchuck has 2 triggers. Often shakeable as a form of attack (while you could count various motions as different controls, thats cheap for this argument, so shake counts as 1). Total, 2 real, 3 estimated and a analog stick.
12 real buttons, 15 estimated buttons/controls, one analog stick. Just missing the extra stick really, though you could consider the pointer as the stick for a lot of games. - inactive, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6As long as Zelda, Mario, and other old-school games keep getting at least a little better, I welcome them, but Nintendo could do more to start new franchises, but every system does this. Halo for XBox, Gran Turismo, MGS for Playstation, Sonic for Sega, etc. And all consoles have crappy games too. Check the PS2 bargain bin at Wal-Mart for those $5 games. This is not a Wii exclusive problem.

oh... my... god....
I didn't buy a wii for the graphics but jesus lord, graphics like this make my regret meter go up. - mookieXL, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6Of course it's related. With 15khz horizontal refresh and 60hz vertical you can't have higher vertical resolution than 240 (Ignore interlaced modes for now). And while scanlines are easy to emulate, this game just blurred everything instead. So now you have already bad looking 320x240 game blurred by wii and then blurred even more by your TV's upscaling. Ewwwwwww.
- felman87, on 01/04/2008, -8/+13how is all that nintendo's fault? What's wrong with developing your well proven franchises if they sell and fans really want them? I'd rather have a company that caters to what their fans want than one that doesn't
- fuzzynyanko, on 01/04/2008, -1/+6Nah, Crysis on low looks comparable to some 360 and PS3 titles.
- MasterInsan0, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5Both of those games are lazy cash-ins by developers looking to take advantage of the Wii's "casual" audience. This one just happens to be a little more lazy and a little less cash-in.
- harvinator24, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5I was hoping this was going to be news about a new Cruising USA
- MurphyWatson, on 01/04/2008, -2/+7Wii has the exact same problems that the Gamecube did. Only difference is that people are buying it, for a gimmick none the less(theres like what 2 Nintendo AAA titles that use the motion controls extensively, a few good games that tacked on motion controls, and a ton of half assed party games).
- blahtastic, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5As was lethal enforcers in the SNES days. As was that old west shootout game from around the same time whose name I don't remember off the top of my head (If you can remind me I'll be eternally grateful, if just for the sake of the nostalgia.) This, not so much. Seriously, its 2008 now. We don't need to take low res jaggy pictures to get realistic people in videogames.
- SystemError51, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5You Are Winner.
- inactive, on 01/04/2008, -1/+6you're right, thats why no one plays old-school games. i heard some people play ***** like pac-man and tetris, deplorable. who cares if a game plays like your mom's ass as long as it has pretty explosions and see-saw puzzles?
- cyberdependent, on 01/04/2008, -0/+4I loved Area 51. I love light gun games. If there were an actual arcade still in existence in my city I'd go looking for a Total:Terror or whatever to go shoot the hell out of digital bad guys right now. If this thing comes out at a bargain title price, I'll buy it in a sec. Haters can step off.
- blahtastic, on 01/04/2008, -0/+4Old west game- Mad Dog Mcree. Wow that game was so awesomely cheesy when I was little. :)
- Sirocco, on 01/04/2008, -0/+4More buttons != better experience. Past six buttons or so you're just cluttering your interface to the point of absurdity.
- wontstoptalking, on 01/04/2008, -1/+5Trust me. It was real. I still have the scars.
- BlueMeanies, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3Still think the crusin shot looks worse
- zerhynn, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3If it were Area 51 I'd have more respect for it. That game was my life in '95. I feel like that was yesterday...
