- Thumper13, on 08/24/2008, -3/+42OH ahahahahahaha....you're so funny.
I love the fact that you are insulting those using the Wii as children, yet you are "ThunderC4T5."
Stupid insults are GOOOOO! - Guagloves, on 08/24/2008, -3/+40Good list. Can't go wrong with Zack & Wiki
- EatingPie, on 08/25/2008, -11/+37At first I was really excited, but then I saw that he's quoting the e-Bay prices. These aren't the actual prices for a *new* game from a *reputable* source, but the rock bottom, sometimes used prices. And from whoever happens to be auctioning it at the time.
So not at all an accurate reflection of prices.
-Pie - dagnabbit, on 08/24/2008, -1/+26Mega Man 9 is only going to be 1000 wii points. It may not be out yet, but that's gotta be worth an honorable mention.
E3 trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YIis8GbgwM - ZackScott, on 08/25/2008, -1/+16Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is probably my favorite game in the past 5-7 years. That may sound lame with lots of great games in the past few years, but when Resident Evil 4 came out for the GameCube, I was floored. The Wii version adds better graphics and the first time the Wiimote actually worked with a shooting game. Plus there's the bonus content that the PS2 and PC versions had. So I consider the Wii Edition to be the master version of the most excellent GC version. And if you don't like playing with the Wiimote, just use a GC controller.
- joehobbes, on 08/24/2008, -0/+12I won't argue with that much (other than the newer PS3s got rid of PS2 compatibility -- dumb move)
I'm all about BC - RandomEyes, on 08/24/2008, -5/+16just bought my sister rock band...definitely not under 20 bucks, but at least it put a smile on her face
- joehobbes, on 08/24/2008, -4/+14What's wrong with Gamecube games? They play on the Wii fine, and most of them are just as good, if not better than most Wii games. Plus they are a lot cheaper. F-Zero GX is a must-own in my book.
The prices look fine to me if you average them out (like he says). Prices fluctuate too much to be precise.
As for the referrals, who give a crap -- would you rather the page be filled with a bunch of banner ads? - Crana, on 08/25/2008, -0/+10Glad to see Excite Truck on that list! I play it all the time, I love it for the fact that you can listen to your own music.
- championchap, on 08/24/2008, -4/+14"Stupid insults are GOOOOO!"
That's a Thunderbirds reference, not Thundercats. - Gatesophile, on 08/25/2008, -0/+10Toejam & Earl and Toejam & Earl Panic on Funkotron should be on here for the downloadable ones. Awesome games.
- Nath2k8, on 08/25/2008, -7/+16Yo PIE, stop ***** signing your goddamned mother ***** posts with your name. it's ***** goddamned mother ***** retarded.
- theragu40, on 08/25/2008, -1/+10Not quite as stupid as the original guy.
- tragik, on 08/25/2008, -0/+9haha, i guess he meant HOOOOOO!
- Shootfast, on 08/25/2008, -0/+9Except in Australia, where they're all still $100
- Frozo, on 08/25/2008, -1/+9You should all do yourself a favor and check out Blast Works. The game is freakin' awesome on several levels.
- CarnivalOfDust, on 08/25/2008, -1/+9Man who make crap comment is crapcommentman.
- laserdog, on 08/25/2008, -1/+8Honestly, if you care about playing games in 1080p vs 480p, the Wii is definitely not for you.
I, myself, have never said "Man, this game sure would be fun if the pixels were imperceptively smaller."
But to each his own, different systems for different people, as long as you're having fun. - Hinph, on 08/25/2008, -0/+7List should include Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection. 10 tables of the best videogame pinball ever... by far.
- pronouncable, on 08/25/2008, -1/+8come on no more heroes, hit $20 already >
- inactive, on 08/25/2008, -2/+8My kids would like a lot of these games and if they were under $20 I would get them for them.
- Charlotte_Web, on 08/25/2008, -0/+6Resident Evil 4 is a no-brainer. Not only is it a great game, but it has a tremendous amount of content.
- UndeadZmobie, on 08/25/2008, -1/+7Okami, anyone?
One could probably find it on eBay for around 20-30 dollars. It's well worth it. - Charlotte_Web, on 08/25/2008, -1/+6DVD players are ubiquitous. I have a standalone DVD player (part of my home theater setup), and my other consoles play DVD's; why would I care about the Wii playing DVD's? It's just not a selling point anymore.
Wal-Mart sells a Colby Ultra-Compact DVD player for $33 if you really need one. - Darkangel754, on 08/25/2008, -1/+6lol DVD playback.
- crumb2005, on 08/25/2008, -0/+5Zack & Wiki = brilliant
They'll all drop eventually though:
http://us.pricealerter.co.uk/ - DeathJux, on 08/25/2008, -0/+5That reminds me of Blast Corps... God that was such a fun game. Never since have I seen a demolition game done to such perfection, with such variety.
- bocce, on 08/25/2008, -0/+4Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King is NOT $10! I bought it for $15 on WiiWare!
It's still $15!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Crystal ... - chaosblade77, on 08/25/2008, -0/+4I don't think it hurts at all. The three (four technically) mentioned after the Wii games are excellent, I'd recommend them to any Wii owner as well. The others were less necessary, but it doesn't hurt the list at all.
Now, if the list had the same title and didn't differentiate between Wii and GC games, just threw them all in the same list labeled "Wii games," it would be a problem. - joehobbes, on 08/24/2008, -1/+5Amen to that!
People better scoop it up now while it's cheap -- something tells me it's gonna be one of those games that disappears off retail shelves quickly and the after-the-fact word-of-mouth will drive the aftermarket price up. - BrandonJM, on 08/24/2008, -0/+4It's not a bad list. I had no idea about some of these games (aside from Dr. Mario, which is awesome), so for people like me who don't follow the gamer websites this can be useful.
- inactive, on 08/24/2008, -4/+8Fine, then PS3 is the best system ever made since it plays PS1, PS2, java and flash games
- Rockkybox, on 08/25/2008, -1/+5Panic on Funkatron IMO has got the best co-op experience of any platformer, worth a download for anyone who hasn't played it, and has at least one friend.
- Thumper13, on 08/25/2008, -0/+4ugh am I dumb! Screwed up the Thundercats reference.
How stupid do I look. - rohcky, on 08/25/2008, -0/+4I still have people over to play and I bought the game last holiday season. Guess I'm a boring person.
- doshindude, on 08/25/2008, -0/+4Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People is probably the game on WiiWare...and it's only 10 bucks.
- warispeace21, on 08/25/2008, -0/+4T&E, definately. The sequel, no.
- smoger, on 08/25/2008, -0/+3yep.. PHoF is seriously my second or third favorite Wii game... out of the 20+ that I own
- nicko68, on 08/25/2008, -0/+3I second this opinion. The pinball recreations are great, and it controls really well with the wiimote and nunchuk acting as flippers, and "bumping" the table by shaking them.
- terminalpariah, on 08/25/2008, -0/+3Boom Blox and Zack & Wiki. Best games on the console.
- Patrickdnj, on 08/25/2008, -0/+3***** MOTHERS!!!!!
- ZackScott, on 08/25/2008, -0/+3It is hard to find it for under $20. If you'd be willing to sell one to me for that price, please contact me though.
- ripter, on 08/25/2008, -0/+3I wanted so hard for this game to be good. I Loved the original NiGHTS. But the reviewers where right, this game sucked.
- crumb2005, on 08/25/2008, -0/+2Also, the opening scenes are kick-ass:
http://www.miitube.co.uk/view.php?video_id=_r9AKBu ... - btdgreg, on 08/25/2008, -0/+2Can someone post the list? The corporate firewall hates racketboy.
The Wii Ware game Lost Winds is really great (but short). I've been playing Dr. Mario a lot since I downloaded it. Zack and Wiki is wonderful.
I'm amazed how often my kids play Super Mario Brothers. That game is immortal. - joehobbes, on 08/25/2008, -3/+5It's an AVERAGE of the eBay prices.
If you look at the listings, there are usually a ton of ones significantly lower and ones that are higher. You can usually find similar prices on Amazon for the used games.
Plus, there are some of them that can be found for close to those prices brand new. Anyway.... I routinely buy used games on eBay with no problems. It usually easy to find a fair price from a reputable person.
And then you have the WiiWare... those don't change -- no aftermarket, obviously. - CarnivalOfDust, on 08/25/2008, -1/+3If I don't like a site or article with referral links, I make a point of taking out the referral tag if I check out the item.
- chokeaduck, on 08/25/2008, -0/+2No More Heroes is $30 the last time I checked, but fully worth it. Same goes for the Godfather, it's nice to play GTA in the Godfather Universe.
