Carl B. of iNintendo.net writes, "There are some games that showed great amounts of potential through their various pre-release trailers, screen shots, and press releases, but never fully captured the level of ambitiousness originally promised. You've played many of these games – they're fantastic titles that do a ton of things right, and even pioneered innovations in the games industry. When you're playing them, though, you can't help but think that these games could have been so much better with a few changes or additional features. In no particular order, here are the greatest games with the most wasted potential."
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.
A remaster of Bethesda Game Studios' 2008 action role-playing game, Fallout 3, is planned for release at some point in the future.
Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.
Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.
Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.
To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.
all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.
Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too
Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.
Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".
Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.
Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.
PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh
Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.
So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.
Fallout 3 could have been better but Fallout New Vegas was just a cash in. Pathetic.
I don't agree with the writers opinion on Fallout 3, he seems to think there is nothing in the Capital Wasteland.
I liked Fallout 3 and i heard vegas was actually good. Then again I played the original Fallouts. Though many OG Fallout players hated 3. I am an enigma. Its ok, thats our word :D
Fallout 3 was a good game this guy shouldnt rip on it
I quit the internet
Good list, although I'm going to have to join the others who disagree on Fallout 3. I spent a ton of time exploring the Capital Wasteland before I even got far into the game's main story because I found the environment so engaging. Yeah, it's bleak, barren, and filled with more shades of grey and brown than you knew existed, but it does a great job of establishing a world ravaged by war. The long stretches of nothing make it so much more satisfying when you discover a new location, even if it's just an old factory. Plus, as you progress further in the story, you encounter areas like Rivet City, the Archives, and the Jefferson Memorial, more if you have GOTY edition or the DLC packs, that are a good diversion from desolate wasteland. I'll agree that the game could have been better, most games can be, but I disagree that the environment is why. Then again, I haven't played New Vegas yet, so maybe my opinion will change once I do.
I agree 100% on New Super Mario Bros. Wii though. Far too hard to coordinate with a gaming buddy you're not really in sync with. On paper the idea sounds great, but the execution left a lot to be desired.
