GoNintendo writes: I find it absolutely absurd that a game like Winter is shunned by publishers. Here we have the number 1 console in the entire world, yet publishers are afraid to pick up a new game in a well-established genre. Some publishers still think that core games won't work on the Wii. That's kind of a crappy situation for Wii owners. It's those same publishers that are creating the situation that they're afraid of. If publishers don't release core-oriented games on the Wii, then how can anyone test the waters of how core-oriented titles will sell? There's no market for core games on the Wii because publishers haven't created the market.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
yet another reason for me to finally get a Wii
love me some JPN horror yikes!
This is a great article, and it's needed.
Nintendo said the Wii will get new people into "gaming", but unless they means something OTHER than the traditional sense of the word they are NOT bringing anybody new in.
The Wii is getting new players of "mini-gaming", this is something completely different from the core, and far from the previous understaning of the term "core gaming".
"We need to rally together and let not only n-Space, but devs/pubs all around the world know that the core Wii gamer exists, and we are ready to play."
The Wii has potential to get new players into more traditional gaming, but it's nearly impossible when there is no support given to it.
in the game of chess, that is what we call a check mate Product.
Wait, isn't n-Space a second-party developer for Nintendo. They should publish it. And they should get SEGA to publish it because SEGA should publish it to add to their hardcore Wii games army. I wish that SEGA can pick it up because this game looks really cool.
