Wii Collection

Same as last time.

Going through the platforms I have the least games for at first. Bought my Wii on launch day hoping it would change things. Turns out that the change it brought was not to my liking

Showing 1-10 of 12 items

Mario Kart Wii

1. Mario Kart Wii

Bought this day one. I think I've played it 4 times or something like that. Not a bad game, they just changed the gameplay to more random and the controls weren't all that good

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

2. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Really awesome game. Great follow-up to the Gamecube games. One of the first games to really use the controller in a good way, even if some of the motion stuff doesn't make sense. Cleared the game once in 08 I think. Should revisit this game to see if it still holds up

3. No More Heroes

Never really got hooked on this game. Beat the second boss I think and then I stopped playing. The constant Wiimote "wanking" and a totally derelict city made me put down the controller and not pick it again

Rayman: Raving Rabbids

4. Rayman: Raving Rabbids

Fun party game. Often used it in the game competitons I've held. Negative thing about this game is 1. Gameplay relies to heavily on busted controller sensors and this makes the game too random and 2. Not everything is unlocked at the start. Do that shit to a fighting game and only unlock 2 characters out of 40. It's a party game people. Please think of that when you're designing them.

Resident Evil 4

5. Resident Evil 4

Ah, one of my favorite games of all time. This was the third version of the game I bought(First GC then Ps2). This is probably the version of the game I like the least. The motion controls where the reason I bought it and the reason I hate it. Just feels like a sloppy port. Finished the game today. Bought the Ps3 HD version and it's still holds up.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

6. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

Bought this preowned because I didn't think it was gonna be good. And I was right. Played about 20 minutes and then stopped playing. Maybe because I'm not a huge fan of rails shooters. Anyway happy I got it for 10 bucks instead of the full price

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

7. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

This game was on my list to buy at launch since I saw Brad, Jeff and Ryan play this when they still were at Gamespot. Also a fun party game similar to Rabbids. But suffers from the same random factor from the controllers.

Wii Play

8. Wii Play

Godawful game. Are you serious? Did I just pay for this crap? At least I got an extra controller out of the deal.

Wii Sports

9. Wii Sports

Fun game. Had a lot of bowling tournaments with my friends. Haven't played it since 08. It was a good tech demo of what the Wii could do. Sadly most of the games devolved into "SHAKE THE FUCKING CONTROLLER TILL YOUR HANDS FALL OFF"

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

10. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Probably a good game if I could see past the fact that all Zelda games have been the same since day one. Essentially a linear game with an illusion that you can do more things. The narrative never gets any different than "Ganondorf has fucked up the world. Save us by going to these 7 temples". Rather boring characters also. you never relate to them or anything. Like the girl you are supposed to save from the start. When you find her again she has amnesia and Link just walks off. Cleared maybe half the game before I gave up
