What Wii games did you get and how do you like them? - Page 2

I don't know.....I'm really digging the whole Wii remote thing for the game. I really like the way it plays, especially using the remote to point where you want to fire the slingshot, the boomerang (you can select 5 things to lock on to, throw the boomerang, and it will take those things out or even TO you), arrows, hookshot, etc. Playing on the Cube will be cool, but the Wii remote really brings a whole new thing to it.

btw, I also got past the second dungeon last night and that was one of my favorite dungeons in a Zelda game ever. The iron boots are just TOO cool (and that's all I'm going to say on that).

I just thought it would cool to have the option to be able to use a regular controller and wii remote with every game. I played Call of Duty at Best Buy. Interesting game play ,but I see myself and others getting tired of the remote after awhile. Or maybe its just me?

The way I personally see it is that's what having another system is for. If I don't feel like playing a remote type game, I'll go play a different system. Otherwise (and I know I said something to this effect recently in another thread), when you open it up to where developers don't have to necessarily use the new control scheme, that's when you start seeing crap where the remote functions are tacked on (like in the Wii port of Marvel Ultimate Alliance) and THAT'S when I would get tired of using it- when it's just a lame, gimmicky use of what makes the system different.

For me, the DS served as a great primer for the Wii, where having these different ways of playing games and, in many cases, games that wouldn't even be possible with a standard control pad, has just made gaming that much more fun again. I still dig the standard control pad stuff, but the new ways the DS and Wii offer really make a nice spin on the regular ol' way of doing things that I've been playing for over 20 years already. For this, it's about variety, and in today's age of just more and more games doing the same old crap (even more than a few years ago, where it felt like it couldn't get any worse, yet HAS), anything to mix it up- especially something as cool as the DS and Wii- are more than welcome.

Whatever the case, either way- Wii or Gamecube- get Zelda. It's a fantastic game that shouldn't be missed.

Word. Hopefully we'll be getting a Wii sometime soon...well, I should say that my brother should be getting one soon. My wallet is thin as hell.

I agree with Danzego.. having the wiimote for things like aiming can't be beat by a joystick. I played my Wii and then a 360 afterwards, and I was amazed at how restrictive and slow the joystick felt.

Oy, shooters.....yeah, I can see actually looking forward to a few console shooters here and there with the Wii remote. I can't stand playing FPS games with a control pad. What an inaccurate mess, even when they use sticky cursors and whatnot to try and make up for a control pad's shortcomings (like in Halo).

Too bad Nintendo didn't kick the graphics up a notch or two in order to woo the addled mainstream. The Wii would be many an American mainstream gamer's dream for FPS games had they gotten the thing a little closer to XBox 360 level graphics.

I agree with that as well, Dan. Had they upped the price to just 350, it would have been less than the competition and could have supported a much better graphics engine.

Of course, I don't take anything away from the Wii, as I KNOW you don't Dan. But having graphics would have made the Wii the BEST hands down console for anyone, mainstream included.
