What games you wish would be on the Wii.

[Waffle Monger]

So everybody, as we know most of the games out for the Wii out now are, umm... crap. Sad to say that it is an awesome system. We all have our little bouts of boredom in which our creative sides, if we have them, or our "wanty"-sides come out of us. What are some ideas or wants that you have for Wii games.

For the list, you could use any games that are out as ideas, but please let them be different, or improved to a point where they are nothing like the old idea.

As for me, I have a few ideas and wants of my own...

Pirates of the Caribbean - alright, so I love the pirates movie series, and am probably one of the few that really liked the 3rd movie, yet comprehend the flaws of the storyline and development. Anyways... the games out now based on the movies... kinda... errr suck... What I would like for this one is that it would have improved graphics. Game play that was actually more engaging, and your movements with the controller reflect that of the sword on screen. And well... maybe take the story back to pre-Curse of the Black Pearl and have more of that mess known as the story of At World's End taken care of as well while they are at it.


Golden Sun (Origins) - the Golden Sun series was an awesome series, however with it only being a 2-part series. It had good gameplay, fun dialog, and yada yada... a cool story, however cliche. I would really like for there to be a prequel to the series, in a time where alchemy was new to the world and very dangeros. Demons roamed freely and wreaked havoc, and alchemy was the thin line between life and the end of all life. (MUAHAHAHAHAHA). I can't see how motion controls would fit in, unless it was used for special combos and such... but I don't really know.


Deity - an idea I have based sorta like Black & White and various (Maxis) SIMS games (note - not THE SIMS). You are basically a god-like entity that is looking after a small village that eventually grows into a mega-metropolis (depending on your actions) You don't directly control people, but you can give advice to some and depending on what kind of advice it is, will either help or hurt the civilization in the long run. You can preform miracles and acts of divine intervention, or you could be the cause of major catastrophies and coul possibly destroy the civilization... but because we know some people want to play "bad-god", let's have it so that you can't completely destroy the civilization, infact if you do so much damage, you have a bar based on the size of the civilization, where if you destroy 2/3 of it, you lose your powers, and time goes by as the civilization grows, but not quiet real-time, but it grows, even if the system is off. Eventually you start to get your powers back so you can wreak havoc, and eventually you can destroy the civilization.

Quiet an ambitious game I would say, considering that not every civilization will be the same. Various architecture and tribes and yada yada.


That is all I have for now... and I really like my "Deity" idea, and I should hammer out the details more.

While there are many, here are some top choices:

Burnout - The next Burnout has only been announced for ps3/360, and its probably going to stay that way. Thats unfortunate. Burnout is one of the best new series from last gen, specifically Burnout 3 and beyond. They are fast, fun, and packed with extras that keep the game from getting boring. The only racer to beat it out last gen IMO was F-Zero GX, but seeing as how Miyamoto wasn't too pleased with the outcome, we will see if Nintendo's futuristic racer can keep its crown. I just wish Burnout would come to Wii : (.

Kingdom Hearts Wii - I would really like Square to utilize the Kingdom Hearts franchise as a Wii exclusive that contains characters from both Mario and Square universes. Though Disney is good, KH2 obviously showed that there was only so many things they could do with it. I would love a new Kingdom Hearts to be made for Wii with similar play-style and taking place in worlds of the mushroom kingdom. Think about it: Go from helping Mario and Link save their respective princesses to defeating Mother Brain and escaping Brinstar to an all-out duel with Mythological creatures alongside Pit. Whats not to love?

Mario RPG Wii - Square and Nintendo sure made one hell of an RPG on the SNES, and its been an amazing ride as Intelligent Systems continued the spiritual successors to the game on N64, GC, and Wii. All of the games have been outstanding, but one can't help but miss that unique touch that Square brought to the universe created in Mario RPG. An RPG similar in gameplay and with all of the unique touches brought by SE would surely silence those calling for more Japanese RPGs on the system.

ANY good FPS or RTS - When Wii was first announced, these were the two genres I was looking forward to most. So we have Red Steel as an exclusive, which was good but not great. Then we have Call of Duty 3 and Medal of Honor: Frontline which were slightly better gameplay-wise but also non-exclusives. Red Steel 2, please deliver in Spades so the rest of the world can see how a Wii FPS should be done. Also...WHERE IS MY STARCRAFT/C&C 3/ANY WORTHWHILE RTS!?! ITS A REMOTE, PEOPLE! USE IT!!!

Bushido Blade - It was a game(for the Playstation) that lacked meters, timers, and even super gauges, but the game played more like a realistic samurai duel. This game can use realistic sword swings using the Wiimote motion sensing controls and at the same time control you character with the analog stick on the nunchuck. You can surrender with honor like in the original PSX game by doing a motion with both the wiimote/nunchuck. I would love to see a resurrection of this series.

Road Rash - I loved playing the Genesis games. It would be fun to use the Wiimote as a club to knock off other bikers while at the same time, ride your bike using the nunchuck(holding and tilting it sideways or use the analog stick to steer and holding down a button on the nunchuck to accelerate.

Tecmo's Deception series - This, too, was on the Playstation consoles. It was fun to use traps that you created to kill your opponents. To activate traps, you can simply press a button much like in the past Deception games for PS consoles, but for something new for the series, you can create and use traps that based on the motion sensing. Something beyond simplistic button pressing traps. Like, for example, if you create trap walls, an enemy comes towards you to take the bait, you can do a pulling motion towards the left or right(or even do a clapping motion with the wiimote/nunchuck) to crush him/her on the spot with good timing.

That's the best I can do, for now. ^_^

Haha, I do remember both the Bushido Blade and Road Rash series. I was a big fan of Bushido Blade 1 and 2 back in the day, and the way that specific body parts got damaged. With the next gen they could actually have limbs being chopped off...but that might take away some of the charm lol.

I always like the idea of Road Rash but never thought it was executed that well. That may have been because I played the game after the Genesis versions (I think I played it on psx) which were better--at least for their time. I would like to see a revival of the series though, and I think Wii controls would go well with the gameplay.

Shogun total war (remake)- it would be great to use the Wii-mote to rally troops and to command a charge. Also fighting as a general swinging your sword and blocking with your shield would be great. Assassin missons would also be cool, it could be sort of splinter celly.

actually, any total war for the Wii would be great.

umm... teen titans?

I feel really small on this board. You guys picked all the good ones. (Golden Sun, Kingdom Hearts, Mario RPG...)

OK, let me think for a second. Guilty Gear and NiGHTS are already coming to Wii. Sonic's already on the boat, and so is Rayman. We all know Dragon Quest is coming to both Wii and DS, which is Squenix's official "ship-jump" from Sony to Nintendo. And, that Final Fantasy IV (2nd-best FF evah) is getting a remake on DS (With likely follow-ups of V, VI, and quite possibly VII). So, here are some of my suggestions.

Rerelease Final Fantasy X on Wii with Wii-specific special moves and exclusive content. Show everyone some FF love, Square Enix!

Do a multiplatform release of Final Fantasy XIII. Well actually, they're already porting the game to Xbox 360, or so I've heard. But please, please, PLEASE release this game on Wii as well!

Put Final Fantasy VI on Wii's VC. I didn't appreciate how badly FFVI was butchered for the GBA.

Hey, IGA? Do another home console 2D Castlevania, pronto. Turning the Wiimote sideways, a la Super Paper Mario, would be an ideal control scheme. Plus, the motion sensetivity would probably add a new gameplay style to the tried-and-true formula. Oh, and before I forget: make it about Julius Belmont and the year 1999, as suggested in the games.

That's all the ideas I have so far.

Yeah. Also, the solo nunchuk style controls can really work well with most or all motorcycle racing game that comes on Wii. You can even backwards tilt(like how you would do riding a Motorcycle) to go at faster speeds in this control style. ^_^

A completer remake of FFVII. With an ADB system like FFXII. now that will make me faint.
