The Wii Dilemma: Too Many Good Games

There have been some prolonged game droughts on Nintendo's little white console. What is happening in the last month or so is crazy. There are so many games being released which I want to check out, to say the least. But I'm finding myself indecisive in even buying them. Here's a list of some which come to mind:

1. Silent Hill - Shattered Memories (sorry gg, still haven't got this)

2. Fragile Dreams - Farewell Ruins of the Moon

3. Red Steel 2

4. Endless Ocean 2 (i can really feel the hatred of teh gg now)

5. Tatsunoko vs Capcom (this I actually did buy just before the flood)

and coming just around the corner:

6. Sakura Wars: So Long My Love

7. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

8. Rune Factory: Frontier

9. Monster Hunter Tri

and I could even include...

10. Super Mario Galaxy 2

11. Sin and Punishment 2

12. Trauma Team

13. Metroid: Other M

I won't even bother with the games on the Virtual Console and Wiiware as this list would just get too long but there's plenty of great content there too. Somehow i'm tempted to wait for all of them to get down to hobo bin price level but then i feel bad because these are all efforts I'd like to show my support for. Who'd have thought too many good games would be a bad thing

The Wii is getting better games, but it still feels lacking to me because a lot of them really aren't must-have games, but just games I'd like to try, or games I'd get if they're cheaper.

Must-haves for me are:

Metroid Other M (You forgot that!)
Monster Hunter Tri
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Sin & Punishment 2

And later on...

The Next Zelda
Dragon Quest X

it makes me (and iga ) very happy that you consider sin & punishment 2 a must have. despite the commerce involved i consider that game a gift to gamers from Treasure and i feel so lucky that it's getting released outside of japan.

i thought about other m but i guess i didn't list it because i was under the impression it won't be out for a while yet

Big time! I can't wait for S&P2!

I love Treasure. They are the masters of the SHMUP. They made some of the best of all-time.

Is the only one on the list I have not got or pre-orded yet (of the ones I plan to get). I've completely backed out of Fragile. EO2 interests me a lot, not because of GG's boosterism, but because of Mekere. If she is so dedicated to the game she is willing to come here it must be truly amazing.

What about Will? All the way from Hong Kong and only ever posted in that thread? Will?

Except that NMH2 is not on the same level as GoW3 or Bayonetta. I love action games, NMH is not a great action game (the first, maybe part 2 is better). LKS is all taste. Red Steel 2 is a game I want but its just doesn't interest me as much as the games I get at launch. MH3 is weird, I didn't like the demo that much but I think it doesn't give a good idea of the full game. I just don't like I want to get into a big 100+ hour game right now.

You said Wii had good games whilst 360/PS3 had great games.

What I'm saying is that wii has great games too, based on games like NMH2, Red Steel 2, LKS etc getting lots of 9/10 reviews which is the internet tipping point for what's regarded as AAA, right?

So its great games all round, but you prefer some great games to others, hence taste and your disinterest in LKS for instance.

I still want to see this Suck City.
