Official Wii Thread: Part 4

[Shin Johnpv]

If Nintendo doesn't get a Mario Golf that is a hell of a lot better than the GameCube version out the door this year, they completely dropped the ball. That is one game that the Wii would help tremendously. It would even be fantastic online.

Personally I'd rather they take their time and make a good game then rush it out to have it out in 07. I'm really hoping for a good golf game on Wii as well though. Something made from the ground up for the system. (the one that just came out I don't think was, but I could be wrong) What I also want is for some one to make a good MLB game for the system.

Brace yourself, chances are EA will give you a good golf game before nintendo does.

An exclusive Tiger Woods game by the team that developed the PC versions is already in development, so unless Nintendo's secretly got Camelot working on Mario Golf.....

They'd have to literally give it to me for me to play an EA game.

It has to be 2K or Nintendo, because 2K owns exclusive third party rights.

I don't understand why baseball games never use batting cursors anymore; basic timed swing hitting is so boring.

Here's the problem. While the Wii is more powerful than the GameCube, it's architecture is very similar. That means that, unlike most consoles, we aren't going to see a steadily increasing quality in visuals. In 2008 or later, the Wii is just going to look like complete ass as developers really dial in the 360 and PS3. Imagine what two years of evolution will do for Gears of War or Motorstorm. I'd be disappointed if Nintendo's next portable isn't more powerful than the Wii.

Comparing the graphics of the Wii to the 360 or PS3 is useless, it doesn't matter. It's like comparing DS graphics to PSP graphics; Nintendo games don't sell for their graphics anymore.

I'm not a graphics whore but 2008 will see a noticeable gap in graphics between PS3/360 & Wii maybe to the point where Wii games may be unplayable.

I've been playing excitetruck lately and have been immensely enjoying it. And that's listening to the bad hairmetal and not using custom soundtracks.

Unplayable? In 2008 Wii graphicates so bad, you'll blow up your television. Either that or PS3 games will make everyone blind.
I'd only worry about it if you have the Wii hooked up through RF while everything else is over HDMI.
