I just I am a little, there's not much to look forward to so I'm hoping NMH brings something good to the table, I also hope it doesn't flop like Killer 7 did.

I was browsing the internet earlier, and I read something about a star wars game coming to the wii. Does anyone have any news on this? Also, do you think that they will have a game where the wii remote acts as the light saber?

errr....you're not looking forward to brawl? when you're posting on a site devoted to smash?
You do realize everything you listed was either an FPS, or a final fantasy. or heavenly sword, which i personally hated. and GoW? SO hard to kill people, except with the chainsaw combo. FF12? no thanks. FF7? jesus christ, get over it. It's a ****ing PSX game. You should really try playing something of a different genre, and not even necessarily on the wii. Even try playing a non FF RPG. There are so many good ones out there it's not even funny.
If you want a fun multi player shooter, try MoH: heroes 2. It's got incredible controls, and 32 man online.
and out of curiosity why are you even in the topic if you're just saying the Wii has no good games? What did you expect to read in here?

Are we talking about wii games of 08? I'm looking forward to Smash and more news Disaster and Fracture. De blob I'm kind of iffy on but looks neat so far.

@ Chill: What is Fracture? I consider myself pretty up-to-date on Wii news but have never heard of this...
@ blazer: No More Heros is Suda51, the maker of Killer7 (a la, not a Nintendo game). Unless, of course, you meant a game would be bad simply because it's on the Wii which...is kinda just silly to say. Fanboyish, if you will. Saying a game will be bad simply because it's on one system and not another doesn't make sense; a masterpiece is a masterpiece is a masterpiece.
And surely, being the FF fan that you are, you have loved Chrono Trigger?

Ah. I do concur that GoW is amazing.
But still, it seemed like it was just Shooter/FF + one game that's an action RPG. Which seemed fairly narrow.
Maybe it's just me. I have really broad tastes, and am willing ot try pretty much anything. FPS, TPS, RTS, JRPG, action RPG, sports, guitar hero, fighter, platformer,
and everyhing that fits into multiple categories, or none at all.

i am looking forward to brawl, but it isn't out yet.
never played crono, is it good or on the shop?
i'm saying that it NMH will be lessened in its out put. i'm also saying nintendo is scared to try new things, or even make a game with a plot nowadays because they think a good plot will make a game too complecated or mature or something like that.

Chrono Trigger is a SNES RPG that you NEED to go play, right now. It's amazing. It is NOT on the shop....so good luck. I'd suggest an emu (can I say that?).
Also, I see where you're coming from with the Nintendo and lack of storyline, but you gotta remember Advance Wars, Fire Emblem and, to an admittedly much lesser extent, Metroid. They're good story driven games.
And I agree: Nintendo lies too heavily on well established franchises. Mario and Zelda are fun, everytime, but there's little new added to it; yes, it plays differently...but it's the same thing with new levels everytime.
And Volrec...that's mean. Heh heh.

Um, what? Look at the Wii. Are you telling me that isn't a new thing? The Balance Board? New things is what they do. Though reusing/changing old ideas is also something they're good at.

Meaning that it would look better if it were on the 360 or PS3? Perhaps, but would such a creative project even have been feesible on those systems given how expensive it is to make games for the HD consoles? Regardless, the game looks brilliant the way it is.

Actually, it'd be more correct to say that the Nintendo consoles depend on reliable franchises because every single gaming company reuses their franchises as well, they just dont have their own consoles. Bungie has Halo, Capcom has Megaman, Gamefreak has Pokemon, yadda yadda. When you actually think about it, it's kinda weird how Nintendo gets singled out for this, even though they diversify their franchises a heck of a lot more than some other companies.
Wiseguy

Nintendo can't win. In the Gamecube era, they brought us inovative and awesome new series like Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Bataleon Wars, Chibi Robo, etc. and people screamed "WHERE'S MA REALISTIC ZELDA/3-D MARIO/MELEE SEQUEL?!?!" Now that Nintendo has given us those things, they get knocked for relying on their biggest franchises.
Personally speaking, as long as Nintendo continues making such high quality software, I'm cool with whatever they want to do.
Sensai
Smash Master
@ commonyoshi: Good thinking. I'd never really thought of it that way, but you're right; they do get **** on a lot over that. Then again, a lot of those companies who rely on their franchises (read: SquareEnix and Final Fantasy) also earn my stink-eye. SquareEnix (FF and DQ), Gamefreak (Pokemon [these guys are technically Nintendo, right?]), Rockstar (GTA), and Sega are just a few companies off the top of my head guilty of the same thing.
@ Wiseguy: I think the problem is that Nintendo is known for their quality AAA titles and therefore, when we get the same game for the second (third, etc) time, even though it may be AAA, we just get a little ticked off. We want Nintendo to take us somewhere we've never been before.
Animal Crossing (which was 64 for Japan, BTW) and Pikmin were TRULY incredible games that, IMO, are two of the best on the GC. Chibi and BW I know next to nothing about. Anyways, it's nice that they innovate AND perfect (Pikmin and Mario, respectively), but I think that they need to do more perfecting on more modern IPs. Pikmin could be an amazing fleshed out Wii experience. F-Zero, while not modern, is in desperate need of a new game. Instead of giving me Mario and Zelda and Metroid and Fire Emblem, all games from way back in Nintendo's history, give me a new Pikmin. Or at LEAST tell me it's being thought of.
Although BW had a sequel...I guess we're just hard to please.
What I find funny is that Nintendo is now, according to forum boards, 'dumping the hardcore gamer' yet, somehow, in a juxtaposing way, 'relying too heavily on the past,' a la, Zelda, Mario, and MP3.
[Edit:]
RUMOR: Sam and Max might be coming to the Wii. I've never played any of them, but apparently they're a ton of fun. And funny, to boot.

The teaser for the next Nintendo Power is driving me mad.
"Next month's cover story is an RPG so fantastic, so engrossing, so epic, and so hush-hush that we'd have to erase your memories if we told you what it is. In fact, maybe we already did. Role-playing fans, get ready for a big one."
The hint implies that something the said gives away the game. The only keywords i can grab are "fantastic" which implies an FF, and probably not Crystalbearers, maybe a remake of FFVI? or "erase your memories", and the only thing i can think of for that is maybe KH3, but I highly doubt that.

Beat me to it. Kinda. SmashBoards decided to screw up when I posted that...lemme quote what I had said:
It's important to note that this is NOT necessarily for the Wii. Could be the DS or the Wii. Or I guess something else Nintendo related.
Of course. It's a board game.

It's possible that it does mean something. But I think the "maybe we already did" is a joke implying that Nintendo Power did tell people what the game is, then erased their memories.

I would sacrifice children if it were Super Mario RPG 2, fully equipped with Geno. It won't be (Paper Mario more or less is where that idea went), but it'd be so **** cool.
I thought we already knew about Tales 2...? I guess it goes with the whole 'memory' theme again, but...that'd be dissapointing.

Yeah, but apparenetly it doesn't amount to much, like a dollar per point, or something ridiculous like that. Maybe it was for every 5 full priced games you end up with like 500 wii points, enough for one NES game. So we're really not missing out on much.

Wii has Mario Kart, Brawl, Wii Fit (if you're into that), No More Heroes, Wii Music (if you're into that), Tales of Symphonia 2, Opoona (if you're into that), and Animal Crossing confirmed and off the top of my head. Not confirmed, but likely to happen eventually, are Pikmin 3, Wii Sports 2, some type of F-Zero game. Also, let's not forget that we have the (sure to be a drag) WiiWare service coming up with at least one game (FF: Crystal Chronicles) worth getting.
PS3 (which I don't keep track of) has Soul Calibur 4, Home, MGS4 (big BIG deal), GTA4, Little Big Planet (will be amazing, dunno if it'll shift systems like MGS4 will), Haze, Devil May Cry 4, Resident Evil 5, and Echochrome. Those are games I can name off the top of my head for a system that I don't keep track of. Also of note, though not really partaining to gaming, it looks as if BluRay is going to win the format war. The go-to BluRay player right now is the PS3, meaning, for a cheap BluRay player alone, it'll sell quite a bit. I think I agree with Patcher: this year will be the year where Sony makes or breaks it.
I won't do the 360, as no one really said anything about it. The only thing I will say is that I can more or less agree with Patcher about their first-party line-up weakening.
And, not like this needs saying, but I think the whole Wii'll be good 'til a sub-$300 PS3 is kinda like saying that the cows produce milk; it's a big 'duh' for anyone who's remotely paying attention and it just doesn't really need to be stated.

Until games like Burnout, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil [the real REs, not arcade shooter versions], Army of 2, *insert long list of Xbox 360/PS3 games* come out on the Wii I will still think it lacks in the 3rd party department.
Thank-you. /feels much more satisfied

True enough. While the Wii has had good 3rd party support thus far (Guitar Hero 3, 2 great Resident Evil games, Geometry Wars Galaxies, Zack & Wiki, Metal of Honor Heroes 2) and shows great promise going forward (2 Final Fanatsy Titles, No More Heroes, Okami, Tales of Symphonia 2, Montser Hunter 3, ect.) the 360 and PS3 will always have far superior 3rd party support.
However, when it comes to first party games, no one comes remotely close to Nintendo. No developer releases as many great games in a single year as Nintendo, which is why they a ton a third parties on board to have a competitive library of games.
Sensai
Smash Master
@ Wiseguy Which is also why a lot of 3rd parties don't really stand behind the Nintendo systems. To them, people buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games and therefore they see it as a waste of money.
