Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 For a while people were lining up to play my copy of Wii Play just for Tanks, and before that, Wii Sports was king. Personally I don't poopoo the two games just because I've never had any video games that all of my friends begged to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anya 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 By Super T5 I think he meant like SF II to New Challengers. Comparing it to that and UMK3 would be fair. It's an update but a major one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 Wii Play does seem unfinished, granted, but it is redeemed by coming with a controller. Basically it's a ten dollar game in that respect, not to mention it is extremely fun, especially the laser hockey, pool, and tank games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 I think you would be hardpressed to call any fighting game a killer app. I would think that term should apply to more than a tiny number of people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 Smash may apply, if you could even count it as a fighter. And come on, what about Street Fighter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 I am sorry, I mean this generation of consoles and last. I know for certain alot of SNES sold because of streetfighter. I do believe alot of people bought Cubes because of Smash, but besides that, fighting games are the thing that are moving consoles anymore. Sports game and FPS are running it now.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 Just my opinion, but Soul Calibur is probably the last fighting game that's ever served as a "killer app" for any system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 Just my opinion, but Soul Calibur is probably the last fighting game that's ever served as a "killer app" for any system. You are probably right. Once again, sold alot of Gamecubes. Basically the cheapness of the gamecube made alot of games killer apps for it. Resident Evil 4, The remake, Smash Brothers, Metroid, Soul Caliber, Zelda....

World's Worst Man 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 The sequel to Soul Calibur wasn't a killer app, the Cube version only sold a touch under 1 million in the US. I think he meant the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well yeah, that sold the Dreamcast, but I am pretty sure I remember a surge in Cube purchases(as much of a surge as you would see out of the cube) when the second one came out with people buying the cube just so they could play as overpowered Link.

luke-o 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 I just got Eledees yesterday (or Eleebits i think its called State side). Its pretty cool, only done the tutorial and the first 2 levels but im enjoying it so far. I recomend it. As for Spider-Man 3, a friend of mine got it yesterday and said its ok, the swining is awesome but thats about it. The fighting is apperantly difficult and the camera look isnt as good.

AlexPuma 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2007 WTF? This is quite possibly the worst graphics I've seen since the the days of the Saturn. Usually, I don't care about graphics, but WTF? At least put enough effort so the game looks presentable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 Nintendo is now showing quick gameplay clips of VC titles on their site: http://wii.nintendo.com/virtualconsole.jsp Good thing for some of the more obscure titles (like Shockman), although for most others you could 'tube 'em.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I read that all 3 versions were developed seperately, but it seems all 3 versions were rushed to get it out in time for the movie's release..so..its not surpising. Spidey 3 along with all the dumb cartoon/movie tie in games are just the ones that Nintendo DOESNT need right now, but whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may just get Ordyne because I hear it's actually pretty good. Of course, I also did the same thing about Splatterhouse and I really want my 600 points back.

I *probably* have seen one in person, like in a case somewhere, but if not for the logo I probably wouldn't be able to pick one out of a lineup. And 8 bucks for lame, Guy-less, watered-down Final Fight is unacceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
