Wii in 2009 - The official Thread! (wii's best year?)

TO MODERATORS

This year I decide to make some good changes in this topic, to start with a new layout and others new ideas that I will implement later.

But I have a problem: The other thread research to his limit and the first topic only support 3 more games. For that reason, I start this new thread with 3 posts reserved in the first page for the future updates and things I like to implement. Everything to make that the better thread a Wii owner can see.

Please lock my old thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=14227657#post14227657

Before star this thread, is good to now a little more what you can play on Wii. If you are a new Wii owner or you don't give much attention to your Wii, is good know a list of recommended games in various and different genres to help you choose well where spend your time and money. It's hard list all good games from a console, but I believe that Stumpokapow make a good job putting some of the most significant games is this list. Check it below:

It's a really good list. And if you want more promising games, look further the list below:

This year I decide to make some good changes in this topic, to start with a new layout and others new ideas that I will implement later.

But I have a problem: This thread research to his limit and the first topic only support 3 more games. For that reason, I will start a new thread with 3 posts reserved in the first page for the future updates and things I like to implement. Everything to make that the better thread a Wii owner can see.


Moderators, please, Lock this thread, I will make a new one soon.

and besides, the OP is the same person

Why does LKS have a date but is still only listed under TBA? Is that a Japan date or something?

Also coming:
New Play Control! Metroid Prime
New Play Control! Metroid Prime 2
Captain Rainbow (Europe at least?)

And I'm surprised that there are several Nintendo colloboration that enter their third year in production now.
Untitled 'Monster Games' Nintendo project (F-Zero ^^)
Untitled 'Fuse Games' Nintendo project
Untitled 'Headstrong Games' Nintendo project
Untitled NST project
Untitled 'Retro Studios' project (Zelda ^^)

And The Conduit is coming in Q2 due to Motion+ (at least in Europe).

:lol

Edit: Why is TvC on that list? There has been no confirmation of it ever leaving Japan yet.

It's sad to see some of the mistakes from the old thread in these images.

Most notably, Fatal Frame 4 has no announced US release, and definitely doesn't have one from Nintendo.

See this post in the old thread for one addition and some other corrections that haven't been made.
 

John Dunbar

correct about everything
Why is Nintendo releasing those New Play Control titles in March when there's actually other games worth playing coming out that month? Should bump that shit up to January or February.

I will fix the errors, but I need help to localize then.

I maintain Fatal Frame 4 and Tatsunoko in this thread because the companies that make this games say they want to launch this games in USA.

Remember, it's the same Nintendo that tried to hinder Ubisoft from releasing Rayman Raving Rabbits 2 because they feared it would have an impact on SMG sales.

Yes. All released dates in this topic are US released dates.
If thats true why does Sky Crawlers have a q1 2009 release date, I've heard nothing on the gamer being localized. Also wherr did Muramasa july release date come from. NP lists Arc Rise Fantasia as a spring release. And we really don't know if Pikmin 3 is coming out this year- I hope so, but still... NOA Q1 PR listed Feb. 17th as release date for Little King's Story-so....
 
It's going to be tough to beat 2007, but there are definitely some games that I am anticipating greatly. In particular, Punch-Out 3, Sin & Punishment 2, Pikmin 3, Wii Sports Resort, and Muramasa all look like winners.

Oh Jesus no. These threads get enough trolling and shitbrained comments as it is, I don't want them stuck on the top :(

Yeah, there's a lot of typos. I'm assuming they'll be fixed in short order, but it does look a bit sloppy.

It'll be a good year, but let's face it, Nintendo needs to support the Wii with more games. There are some good third party titles coming out, but the centerpiece of any Nintendo console is the selection of first party games. So far there are some pretty good ones like Punch Out, Wii Sports Resort and Pikmin 3 (if that's even coming out this year), but we need more. It doesn't even have to be Mario or Zelda, we still need an F-Zero, Donkey Kong and Star Fox game. Top those off with a decent online Mario Party game and the rumored Kid Icarus game and it'll be a pretty good year for the Wii.

Hot diggity damn, amazing lineup and I'm sure there are a few big'uns yet to be announced for 09. Can't wait for Wii Sports resort :D

Wished though that Tvs.C would come to the Europe. Yeah right. Capcom should make a Nintendo vs. Capcom.

I've been saying it for a month or two. 2009 is going to be a big year for the Wii not only in the number of quality games but in the number of high profile announcements. The Wii will never be my primary console but as a secondary console, all I need is 8-10 games a year that interest me and it looks like I'll definitely get at least that many for 2009. I particularly like the over-the-top/Quentin Tarantino vibe that some of the Wii games have (i.e. Mad World, House of the Dead: Overkill, Dead Rising: Chop till you drop, etc.). The games like the Conduit and Tenchu interest me much less. If I want a visually stimulating FPS or a Stealth-Action game I'll go to my PS3 or PC. However stuff like Mad World, No More Heroes, Boom Blox, House of the Dead: Overkill are unique to the Wii.

Why does Kore Gang look so...competent? It almost has a sort of Rayman 2-ish look to it. Or dare I say: Psychonautsy?

really nice OP. I'm looking forward to many of these games, even though none will likely top brawl for me.

It really does show a lot of promise. The screenshot really sticks out. I'm keeping my eyes open for that one.

This list for 2009 isn't bad at all. Good variety; many different-looking games.

Is Wii Sports Resort officially a Q2 release, that is, between April and June? I thought that was due for February?

Great list! But how am I gonna afford all those awesome games? Also, it's "Punch-Out!!" with two !!'s, and it's not a "Figther".

nice thread, but it feels a bit cluttered. maybe make the screens a bit smaller and sorted on genre ? Right now its kind of hard to get a nice overview if you're looking for a specific type of game.

Well formatted. I like the list at the start. I hate having to scroll through picture after picture just to find the next game in other threads.

Just a note though, "Release Dates" is spelt wrong at the start of the OP.
 

Dash Kappei

Not actually that important
A lot of work, bravo, but it's sooo annoying that despite all the suggestions from the previous thread you still keep games like Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Sky Crawlers when there's not even a slight suggestion those games are actually coming, let alone as TBA 2009.
