WiiNintendo

Wii owners have reason to be very excited indeed. Wii may have kicked off with a bang before going completely quiet, but Nintendo has a console-killing line-up going into the end of the year.

Super Smash Bros.Brawl should be at the top of everyone’s list. It looks incredible. Metroid Prime 3 looks just awesome, and finishes off a fantastic trilogy. We really wanted to mention Super Mario Galaxy too – we’re strangely intrigued by it’s gameplay. and the fact that it’s freaking Mario!

Here’s My Top 5.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is going to be a strange one. Everyone know Sonic would destroy Mario in a race, but not in this game.The two greatest videogame mascots ever will be competing against each other, But Sega has chosen to even the playing field by levelling out the abilities of the characters, so everyone performs similarly. Yes, that means Sonic’s speed has been toned down, but don’t let that put you off.

From what we’ve seen on the game so far it looks like great fun – the new-age Track and Field. Only this game will have you swinging, shaking and waving the Wii Remote in all sorts of ways. Could this be the party game of Christmas? Can Sega pull it off? I guess we will have to wait and see.

NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams

Cult followers of the Saturn-derived classic went bonkers when Sega revealed a Wii version is on its way.

Sega has held the NiGHTS franchise as close to it’s heart as the fans, and Yuji Naka once said that Sega would not make a new NiGHTS game until they were absolutely sure the time was right and they could live up to the Saturn game. The coming of Wii is the right time for Sega, and that’s why we’re excited about this.

Sega cannot afford to mess this one up, and free-roaming flight with the Wii Remote should be awesome. It’s a shame Naka has nothing to do with it but we’ve still got high hopes.and with the rumored online how can this game go wrong?

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

The first two Prime games on GameCube are without a doubt two of the best games on the console, so we’re obviously buzzing with excitement over getting our hands on the sequel that will conclude the trilogy on Wii. The only flaw in the GC games was the weird control system which did not allow for easy strafing, nor did it let you control the look camera to look around the room while you were moving. But that won’t be a problem on Wii, with a control system similar to Red Steel that has been refined to near perfection.

Controls aside, we just can’t wait to explore another Metroid-infested world. The richly detailed, dark and ambient worlds of the first two Prime games made for some of the best graphics in the last generation, and Prime 3 already looks great on Wii. We’re hoping to see Metroid release around or before October 2007. Fingers crossed.

#2

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy has to be one of the single most exciting games coming to Wii in 2007. Having been a little disappointed with Super Mario Sunshine, we’re hoping Galaxy will make up for the GameCube game’s shortcomings.

Easily the best looking, Galaxy is taking Mario back to his roots of raw platforming, losing the hovering ability and exploring worlds full of awesome, nonsensical platforms and obstacles – just the way a Mario game should be. The new Bee Suit Mario looks ace but we’re praying Tanuki Mario is revived.

 Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I see why SSBB is being discussed so much. Finally, the third installment in the Smash Bros. franchise has been revealed, and with it, a stunning revelation: that third party characters will enter the fray, such as Snake of Metal Gear fame.

Director Sakurai has said that Snake’s inclusion began as far back as Melee, when Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima practically “begged� Nintendo to include the superspy in the game, something that didn’t pan out due to time constraints. This time around, however, Snake will join the hallowed ranks of the Smash Brothers, (hopefully along with other 3rd party characters)Which is one of the reasons this is the most anticipated games coming this year.(well for me)

3rd party appearance in the game is, to me, nothing short of cool. Sure, I appreciate a Nintendo-kosher Smash Bros., but having other, non-Nintendo celebrities will make for a fresh experience, and turn heads of fanboys from other systems. Either Sakurai or Miyamoto—I can’t remember which—said at the trailer’s unveiling that Nintendo is in negotiations with other third parties to discuss including more characters…

(I can’t wait to see who they are)

This is my list of my most anticipated games what’s yours?
