Notes on [[nintendo_wii]] games.

===== Notes =====

^ //[[animal_crossing_series#Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City]]// | |
| Reminds of how big a leap //[[animal_crossing_new_leaf|New Leaf]]// is really. The rest of the //AC// games feel preeeetty similar to the original, so this is nice and cosey in that sense. ||
| ||
^ //Another Code:R// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //ATV Quad// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Balls of Fury// | |
|  ||
| ||

|  ||
| ||
^ //Blast Works: Build & Destroy// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Castlevania: The Adventure// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Centipede// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Contra ReBirth// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Crazy Climber// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Cursed Mountain// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Darts Wii DX// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Data East Arcade Classics// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //DeadSpace: Extraction// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Dewy's Adventure// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Driift Mania// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Doctor Fizzwizzle's Animal Rescue// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //The Dog Island// | also on: PS2 |
| This is really hard for me, somehow. ||
| ||
^ //Endless Ocean 2// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Escape From Bug Island// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Excite Truck// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //ExciteBots: Trick Racing// | |
| I've enjoyed this a lot more than //Excite Truck//! The robots are charmingly goofy ||
| ||
^ //Family Party: 30 Great Games - Outdoor Fun// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Family Party: 30 Great Games - Winter Fun// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Family Party: 90 Great Games Party Pack// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ [[taiko_master_series#縁日の達人]] (Festival Master) | |
| //[[taiko_master_series|Taiko]]// minigame spinoff. ||
| ||
^ //FIFA '15// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Fishing Master// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //FlingSmash// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Ghost Squad// | also on: Arcade |
| Really fun Sega light-gun shooter. Multiple paths, full of detail. Fun, kitchy [[Sega]] feel. ||
| ||
^ //GTI Club: Supermini Festa// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns// | also on: Arcade |
| Definitely lose something without the massive gun controllers they have in the arcade. If I feel like playing a light-gun game I'd rather go //[[Ghost Squad]]//, or //[[virtua_cop_series|Virtua Cop]]//, but these're still fine. ||
| ||
^ //Horizon Riders// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Jeep Thrills// |
| Just a crummy version of the //Excite// games. Good name but. ||
| ||
^ //Jerry Rice & Nitus' Dog Football// | also on: Windows |
|  ||
| ||
^ //[[kororinpa_series|Kororinpa]] / Kororinpa: Marble Mania<sup>NA</sup> / コロリンパ// | |
| Simple [[roller|roller]] game the uses motion controls to move the playfield. Lots of small-scale [[wp>sequence breaking]] possibilities, like the good //[[monkey_ball_series|Monkey Ball]]// games. Has nothing to do with [[Tingle]]~. One of my favourite Wii games, works well both as something relaxing, and something to play fast and go for high scores. ||
| ||
^ //The Last Story// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess// | also on: GameCube |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Let's Tap// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Link's Crossbow Training// | |
| Pretty neat, actually! Not much to it, but there's plenty of variety. ||
| ||
^ //Little King's Story// | also on: Windows |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Lost In Shadow// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //[[maboshis_arcade|MaBoShi's Arcade]]// | |
| Wiiware ||
| ||
^ //MadWorld// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Marble Saga Kororinpa// | |
| Sequel to //[[kororinpa_series|Kororinpa]]//. Has a [[nintendo_wii#wii_balance_board|balance board]] mode with balance board-specific stages that's pretty cool. ||
| ||
^ //Mario Tennis// | also on: GameCube |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Metroid Prime 3: Corruption// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Military Madness: Nectaris// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //MiniCopter Adventure Flight// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Monster 4x4// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Monster 4x4: World Circuit// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Monster Hunter Tri// | |
| Ended up not playing this much, as after finding myself enjoying it I bought //[[monster_hunter_world]]//. When I'm in the mood for classic //MonHun// I play //[[monster_hunter_generations_ultimate|GU]]// now. ||
| ||
^ //Monster Jam: Urban Assault// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //MotoHeroz// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Muscle March// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //No More Heroes// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Ocean Commander// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Opoona// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Pandora's Tower// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Penny Racers Party: Turbo-Q Speedway// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Pikmin 2// | also on: GameCube |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Pop'n Music// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //[[Pro Evolution Soccer 2013]]// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Pub Darts// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Red Steel 2// | |
| Has some interesting features, the 1:1 sword movement being the big one, but it sits on a Ubisofty framework that makes it hard to like. ||
| ||
^ //Reel Fishing: Ocean Challenge// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ リラックマ みんなでごゆるり生活 (//Rilakkuma Everybody's Easy Life// (?)) | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles// | also on: PS3 |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles// | also on: PS3 |
| Fun [[lightgun game]] by [[Cavia]]. Plays better with a pistol shell that the official 'zapper' one, as you have to have the nunchuck separate anyway. ||
| ||
^ //Rock N' Roll Climber// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Rodea the Sky Soldier// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Rygar: The Battle of Argus// | also on PS2((as //Rygar: The Legendary Adventure//)) |
| I've only played through the first world so far, but I like it. I don't even like the level design of the first world, and its boss was just a stand-still-and-mash-attack-until-it-dies thing, but the start of the second is really nice.\\ Not sure it adds anything to the PS2 version, other than a shitter main character design. I guess there's one move where you do a wiimote waggle? Maybe with later upgrades? Weirdly it still seems to be 4:3?\\ Oh, [[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/rygar-the-legendary-adventure/|the HG101 article]] says the 'Gladiator Mode' uses motion controls, and there are a few new enemies. ||
| ||
^ //Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Samurai Shodown Anthology// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Sega Superstars Tennis// | |
| This is really bad. Has non of the nice-feel of the //[[mario_tennis_series|Mario Tennis]]// games. ||
| ||
^ //Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Shaun White Skateboarding// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Silent Hill: Shattered Memories// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //SimCity Creator// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Sin & Punishment: Star Successor// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Skate It// | |
| Wii version of the //Skate// games. Only played it with the [[nintendo_wii#wii_balance_board|balance board]], which is kinda cool 'cause the gestures to do tricks match pretty well. Turning feels like it has an odd sensitivity though. ||
| ||
^ //Speed Racer: The Videogame// | also on: PS2  |

|  ||
| ||
^ //Virtua Tennis 4// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Walk It Out// | |
| [[nintendo_wii#wii_balance_board|Balance board]] game where you walk round a park, getting awarded points for each step in time with the music. You use those points to buy island decoration like fountains and light posts. Disappointed that the decorations appear at set locations though, was hoping I could place stuff wherever I wanted. ||

|  ||
| ||
^ //Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ [[zangeki_no_reginleiv]] (Slashing Reginleiv) | |
| This game is pretty good. Like a smaller-scale //[[edf_series|EDF]]// (same developer!: [[sandlot]]) game with a fantasy setting, and fun motion controls. I particularly like the feeling of hanging-back and firing arrows at crowds as they approach---really elicits a good feeling of standing your ground. ||
