WII-KLY UPDATE: THREE NEW CLASSIC GAMES ANNOUNCED FOR WII SHOP CHANNEL


Jan. 8, 2007
Today Nintendo adds three new classic games to the popular Wii? video game system's Wii Shop Channel. The games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:

Gradius? (NES?, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Across the galaxy, there exists a distant planet known as Gradius. Gradius' peaceful existence has been brought to an end by an intense space invasion by a race known as the Bacterion. To save the planet, the hyperspace fighter Vic Viper has been deployed to fight the Bacterion invasion. Players pilot the Vic Viper through seven stages, shooting and dodging through deadly obstacles, while using various power-ups, including missiles, lasers, options and shields. The Vic Viper's target is the enemy fortress, Xaerous. The only way to end the war is to plunge deep through the enemy forces and destroy its very core.

Soldier Blade? (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): A new shooter in the "Star Soldier" tradition. Players play as an SIA (Special Interception Airforce) pilot flying the heavy assault fighter "Soldier Blade." Players face the Zeograd invasion force with weapon attacks that change each time they grab a power-up item. Players can unleash three different kinds of attack depending on the color of the power-up item. New features, such as the "Gunbody" option for avoiding enemy attacks and the "Burst Out" system (which has a different effect depending on the power-up level), add a strategic element that requires players to make snap decisions about which items to grab and when to use special attacks. Awesome boss battles await players at the end of each operation. Playing in "CHALLENGE" mode requires players to try to get as many points as they can in a limited amount of time.

Dungeon Explorer? (TurboGrafx16, 1-5 players, 600 Wii Points): Dungeon Explorer is a multiplayer action/role-playing game where up to five players can play at the same time. The story takes place in underground dungeons. Players can choose from eight different character types: Fighter, Thief, Warlock, Witch, Bishop, Elf, Bard or Knome. Depending on the character, the types of magic, attack strength and movement will all vary. To survive, players most know all about their enemies' weaknesses. Players also must know about the special attributes of each magic spell and use them to their greatest advantage. In team-play games, working together is the key to victory. Any combination of Wii Remotes and Nintendo GameCube? controllers can be used in multiplayer games.
 
No, but why not release the games in the order they came out on the systems? That would be a fucking bright idea now wouldnt it.

Instead however, they release garbage after garbage. No SNES mario, no mario kart, no SNES zelda, no pilotwings, nada.

No tecmo bowl? No baseball stars? I mean honestly, come on.

Instead we get:

Bonanza Bros
Comix Zone
Gain Ground
Pinball
Soccer
Moto Roader
Columns ( Where in the FUCK is tetris )

Honestly. I expected A good game each monday. Not a handfull of games no one played or even heard about.

Feather in the good games is all im asking for. Im not expecting the best games every monday for 2 months then shitty games forever. Throw in a Big game every release, some niche titles ( can anyone say sports talk football, mutant league football ) and then a so so title ( like Comix Zone, or pinball, or whatever ).

If you think the current release list is worth a fuck, your just a sack riding fanboy. They honestly need to get their shit together and drop some Heavy hitting titles that they have to KNOW people want.

Even YOU know the current titles suck. The releases to date have been a fucking laughing stock. Do we have to wait a few years for them to put out mario kart?
 
Oh, and heres the funny thing

This, is the "Future Release List":

Dr Mario
Duck Hunt
ExciteBike

etc etc.

How many games on this "to be released "list would you buy?
How many games on the current release list have you bought?

Exactly.
 
Well these games will be released but they are probably saving them for when they really need to sell consoles, like around March. I am sure some will be released soon but the biggest, they will probably wait till then.
 
I think the biggest thing that pisses people off is they are releasing better titles in UK and Japan, but are releasing shitty titles to the North American market.
 
Copyrights being a problem is understandable..but there were at least 30 games that were Nintendo made games, they cant be having problems with themselves...where are the good Nintendo brand games for NES/SNES/N64? I thought for sure we'd see a good game today...what a let down. I mean, R-Type 3 is cool but I really don't want it...it's super hard it becomes boring due to the difficulty.
 
this system keeps people checking the releases every week. they can't roll out the big boys right away...besides, there are only so many classic games they can release. i'd rather keep cehcking back each monday for something sweet instead of having to browse through thousands of titles right off the bat.
 
true. its like they are getting the obscure titles out of the way so they can start churning out heavy hitters every monday. i'd be pretty content if they released one bad ass game with two shitty games.

that said, bring out an obscure heavy hitter.... Earthbound please
