To Wii or Not to Wii... That is the Question.

Hey everyone. J.P. here with the latest and greatest in news of the Gaming World. With Xbox 360 and PS3 coming out with all these great games in the next coming months, what about our good ol' pal the Wii? Are they going to have any great games coming out soon? I have to say yes. If you own a Wii, you know as well as I do that they do not have a lot of great games out. The games I have personally enjoy, and I feel that others might agree with me, have been Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Kart, Red Steele 1+2, Super Mario Galaxy 1+2, Star Wars: The Forced Unleashed and Wii Fit. There might be a few other games but I do not think that they are many that are worth playing on the Wii. But I feel that the Wii is ready for a comeback. The games coming out soon I feel will bring the Wii back on top.
Nintendo has finally decided to go old school with their games as you may have noticed in the Super Mario Bros. Wii game. The new games look very appealing and I am glad that some new great game are finally coming out for the Wii.
Some of the new games for the Wii are Metroid: Other M. For anyone that has ever enjoyed a Metroid game, this is going to be the next generation of Metroid Lovers. This game has everything that we love about Metroid and some new things that make it even better. Watch the trailer and decide for yourself. This game will release Aug. 31st.

The next game that looks really interesting coming out for the Wii is Kirby's Epic Yarn. There hasn't been a new Kirby game since the days of the Nintendo 64. I have always been a fan of Kirby since I first played it on the Gameboy and to be honest, words cannot describe how awesome this game looks. The trailer looks amazing as well as the game play. Look at the trailer and judge for yourself. This game is released on Oct. 17th.

Are you a fan of Donkey Kong? Who isn't to be honest. When Donkey Kong Country came out for the 64, it just blew my mind. If you felt about Donkey Kong Country as I did well you better get your Bayer aspirin because you might have a heart attack. Nintendo will release Donkey Kong Country Returns on Nov. 21st. I know.. I am excited too. The game sticks to its roots and will definitely appease the fans of the Donkey Kong Country series.

Do you remember the game NBA Jam? Some of you are saying yes. Myself, it was one of the few basketball games that I actually loved playing. All the funny looking players, insane dunks and crazy sayings from the announcer like "Boom Shaka Laka", "Kaboom", and "He's on Fire." Oh the great memories. Well, now you can enjoy those memories on the Wii with NBA Jam from EA Sports. I will definitely get back into backetball games with this one. To my brothers, when this game comes out, it's on... NBA Jam will release Oct. 5th.

What about those fans of the greatest shooter of all time Goldeneye? When will they get to re-experience the great classic shooter for the Wii. The time has come and your prayers have been answered. The new Goldeneye 007 will be released sometime in November. I am a huge fan of the 64 version and to be honest, if they mess this game up there will be hell to pay. HELL I SAY! The gameplay is just like the original and the game looks great. Check it out for yourself.

Remember watching Fantasia as a kid? Remember how dark it was, but still amazing? Epic Mickey is the next thing to it. This dark tale of Mickey's adventure has taken characters and locations of Disney's ideas from the past 80 years. This dark tale is about Mickey who discovers the magic brush and creates a horrific creature on accident with it. That creature comes alive and has destroyed the world that Mickey and his friends live in. It is his job to undo the damage his creation has caused and return teh world back to normal. From all the pictures and trailers that I have seen, this game is a definite to own. This game seems to have potential and definite replay value. See for yourself.

Last but not least, the Wii will release a brand new Zelda game called The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. To describe this game, actually renders me speechless. Majestic is the only thing that comes to mind and the only thing that will ever come to mind. That is it, plain and simple. Majestic... The game designers want to still tinker around with the game and clean it up more so it won't be released until sometime early next year. Watch the trailer and enjoy.

Well that's it for me. If you don't have a Wii, I suggest that you plan on having one soon. These games will bring the Wii back on top, in my opinion. Love it, Hate it, it's up to you to decided if you are interested in what Nintendo has to bring to the table. I'm J.P. giving you the What's What in the Gaming World.

  1. I have been playing Metroid: Other M for the past 9+ hours and it is great. Everything about the game is awesome. Plot, game play, graphics... Awesome. The only thing that pisses me off about the game is you really have to look everywhere because in order to advance in the game, you might have to find a small passage or something that is very hard to see... Pissing me off a lot. You will want a strategy guide for this game... Other than that, awesome.

  2. IT IS DONE! 9 hours and 47 mins and 11 seconds.... Oh man... felt like forever to beat. If you play it, wait until after the credits because there is another mission to do afterwards.
