Now, lets not throw every single Wii game in this topic. Granted, there are only a few quality Wii titles on the system now (Twilight Princess, Madden 07, Wii Sports), with the rest falling between "poor" and "port with Wii controls and PS2 graphics."  So lets hear your opinions of bad Wii games.

Spiderman 3
Such a poor game. It had that much potential and it failed horribly. Swing the Wii-mote to attack... how original. How boring. How repetitive. Arrg, it just frustrates me, such a good franchise is ruined once again. Thanks Activision.

Interesting discussion gentlemen I've been following the Next-Gen systems for a little while now waiting for the dust to settle before i decide on my system. I've been interested in the Wii recently with all the uproar http://videogames.yahoo.com/ongoingfeature?eid=509116&page=0 but if their library of games is this bad then I might have to continue my wait.

Just out of curiosity have you guys tried the Tiger Woods '07 yet on the Wii? Kind of wondering if its realistic at all or another boring, repetitive, port of the PS2.

Biggest fanboy, ha, so true. But not so much that my eyes are blinded - when Nintendo make mistakes I pick them out.

Yeah there have been some poor titles, but it can't be expected that every title is great. But then, we shouldn't have to rely on Nintendo first party titles either. something that is fast becoming a reality.

The release of Mario Strikers Charged next month (with online) should help rejuvenate the Wii, then we've got SSBB, Corruption and Galaxy to look out for.

Corruption = Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Yeah, Nintendo's branching out into using : in their titles now.

At first, I thought Scarface: The World Is Yours was pretty pathetic. But after spending a few hours with it the title has begun to grow on me. My review should be up on GW in a few days.

Not that I really have to say this after the review being posted here, but Bug Island was painful. After watching the Doctor play through it twice, I think I could honestly use that damn game for a coaster.

Define 'trouble.'

Swank's just too damn proud, methinks. He's not looking to 'sell himself' for more hits. He's an old-fashioned, honest guy. Hear hear for Brad!

Bad Wii games? Anything not released by Nintendo.


OOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Nah, not true. Strikers was awesome and BWii looks great. But nobody makes games like Nintendo.


(Everyone else takes half the time).

Capcom = behind Zack and Wiki. THAT'S why you need to pick it up.

Capcom are, in my books, the number 1 Wii developer (behind Nintendo) at the moment. They're putting effort into their games. RE4 was more than just a port, as Capcom made sure to offer more value this time around (EXCELLENT motion controls, more missions from the PS2 version, and at a reduced price). Zack and Wiki looks.... amazing. I can't wait to pick it up - Capcom are showing third parties how Wii games should be done.

Plus there's the Okami port (I don't care if its a straight-up port, I've never played Okami and I WANT IT), Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Monster Hunter 3 (recently changed from a PS3 exclusive to a Wii exclusive)... hell, I love Capcom. The only point I'm sour on is Resident Evil 5 not shipping to Wii - seeing as the GCN version did save the franchise.

As for third parties and Wii... that's a mixed bag. There certainly is a few reasons to go abroad on Wii (Strikers, No More Heroes, Sadness, Battalion Wars 2, Okami, Lego Star Wars: Complete Sage - actually, half of those games aren't even out yet...) but not many. Nintendo will always be the king. I will say though, EA are doing the hardest to enforce the "third parties games on Nintendo consoles are always shit" stereotype.
