Feb 09 on Wii

[Guest]

I love playing Brawl and Mario Kart Wii,but only online and using GC controllers

[Stars1356]

Right now I only have RE 4 and UC for the Wii but plan on getting House of Dead and Dead Rising. Tenchu 4 sounds interesting.

Wish they would make a wiimote patch for the GC's Luigi's Mansion. That'd be interesting to play with the wiimote....

Considering they're bringing Pikmin, Mario Power Tennis, and Metroid Prime 1 and 2 to the Wii with enhanced controls (and they're planning to bring quite a few other games as well), it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they released Luigi's Mansion again.

In any case, I came into this thread to say that, if I didn't already own a Wii, I would have bought one just for No More Heroes. If you have a Wii, buy it. I freaked out when they announced it was getting a sequel back at TGS, but it won't be out until next year at the earliest, so you've got plenty of time to catch up on the first game.

As far as games that are coming out this year for the Wii that I'm looking forward to, there's:

-House of the Dead: OVERKILL
-Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
-MadWorld
-TMNT (working title)
-Sin&Punishment 2
-Punch Out!
-Klonoa (remake of the original)
-Fragile (if it comes to America, anyway)

Also, I highly, highly recommend Zack&Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure. An excellent point-and-click puzzle adventure that was overlooked by far too many people.

To be honest, I mainly play GC games on my Wii. RE UC is really good, and RE4 Wii edition is brilliant and the gameplay is far superior and more enjoyable than the GC version; that's a must buy. House of the Dead is quite fun too. Other than that, not really much to do..

Yes, I also use the Wii mainly to play my GC games, because I've got component cables for my Wii, so the games look a bit better.
However, I don't have RE4 Wii. I spent months playing it on GC, then years playing it on PS2. I love the laser sight and don't like the idea of replacing it with a 'point the Wiimote and shoot system'. The controls are great as they are and it's how I'll be playing RE5, so there's no point changing now.

I've got the 1st Metroid Prime and like it but never got the 2nd. The controls of the 3rd don't really appeal to me. I not really a fan of the Wiimote, which is a problem, since there seems to be a push to have it used in everything on Wii. I read that one of the earlier builds of Dead Rising let you use a GC controller, I hope this is still the case.

I'm not saying that games like Zelda etc. aren't good but they just don't appeal to me...

I had penciled in HotD 2 & 3 Return as my 2nd Wii game to buy but I've only seen it in the shops here for $60-$70. I think this is much too expensive for what is basically 2 retro games. I'll pick it up when I see it for half that price.

From that list of February games, I'll definitely get Fatal Frame 4. Dodgy controls or not, it's one of those games I simply HAVE to get. I feel sorry for you Americans, who don't even have a release date for it...

I havn't seen any indication that Fatal Frame 4 or Onechanbara are being released in Australia, so I intend to import the PAL versions from that Play.com. Has anyone used them before and would recommend them? or is there a better place to import Wii PAL games?

There's quite a few games coming out that interest me on Wii. Fatal Frame, Deadly Creatures, Dead Rising and Tenchu are all February titles that I will be checking out. Whether I keep them or not is another question =P

Now this is pretty F**KING COOL!!!

HotD Overkill 'BANG BANG BOX'
Includes the game, graphic novel and 2 hand cannons!

I think I'll go and preorder this real soon.

I wonder if those hand cannons will work on RE-UC and HotD 2 & 3 etc..?

[Jill Lover]

I'm sure I'll be getting Dead Rising, Fatal Frame 4 and Onechanbara.

I've since discovered that Play.com dosn't ship to Australia, so I can't pre-order Fatal Frame 4 from there.
I'm having doubts about that date of Feb 6. There's very little information around, besides the option to pre-order it from there.
I havn't found anywhere in Australia that confirms that Fatal Frame 4 OR Onechanbara is coming.

I also called my local JB store and asked about the 'Bang Bang Box'. They didn't know anything about it, so it might be online only.
I pre-ordered it (since postage was only $4 for me).
Only $89au. (that's $60 USD)
That's a lot of 'Bang' for your Buck!

And still no word on Fatal Frame 4 on the US =//

Looking forward on finally playing Dead Rising though..... DR and Mad World, that will get my Wii going for a while.

SEGA will be making announcements about this soon.

As for the date for Project Zero, you're not looking hard enough.

Please explain!
(Aus. release for PZ/FF4?)
