View Full Version : Your Next Wii Purchase

I've realised I've hit a point with the Wii where I have about 3 or 4 potentials that I now want.
For launch, I got Zelda and MonkeyBall, and then WiiPlay followed. After this, ExciteTruck followed, and only days ago I bought Rayman Raving Rabbids.
I've always felt that I've had something to look forward to (or back to, in the case of Rayman, as it was a launch title). The only question is money.
Looking at what is currently out, the two main games which are appealing to me right now are Sonic and SSX. Both third party games.
I mentioned in the Staff Roundtable that due to a lack of first party Nintendo games, this is a chance for third parties to shine. Ubisoft did me proud with Rayman. My first ever Rayman title, and I love it to bits. I'm really tempted to get Sonic, so I may ask for it as a very belated birthday pressie off my Mumsie when I get home, but I think it's a bit...wrong. :)
So, what is your next purchase? For me, it will probably be Sonic. If not that, then SSX.

Well I got Zelda and Monkey Ball for launch, then Excite Truck, then Sonic, and just bought SSX Blur last week.
Next I'll probably buy Elebits, or Paper Mario, not sure yet, depends when Paper Mario is out.

Possibly DBZ Tenkaichi 2, wasn't it supposed to have come out already?

Got Zelda and Wii Sports at launch. WarioWare shortly after.
Next game will probably be Super Paper Mario.

The Godfather or Paper Mario are next for me,if PM is out soon. Not got much income at the mo :( Got Red Steel, Wii Play and Rayman at launch, Call of Duty 3 and Zelda for Christmas, and picked up Wario Ware, Excite Truck and Super Monkey Ball so far this year.

Next game will probably be Super Paper Mario.
I forgot about WarioWare. It'll be fun, but I'm not sure whether to get that or the next mario party. I think I may wait, as it'll be more developed. Love Mario Party. :)
Oh yeah, the GodFather is apparantly shaping up quite well...who would've thought it.

My next definite purchase will be Super Paper Mario (if it really is coming out in April), although I am very tempted by SSX Blur. I still have Red Steel sat on the shelf which I haven't played yet so will give that a bash before I buy anything else, as well as A Link To The Past (Best. Game. Ever) on the VC.
I currently have 7 Wii games and will possibly have 10 (probably not though) by the end of April. So that's 10 games in just under 5 months, probably more than I bought for Gamecube in the first year!
Posted this in the wrong thread just now. About a minute after I thought to myself "how can anyone ever actually post in the wrong thread" due to King Boo doing it! :heh:

So far got Zelda, Wii Play and Wario Ware, though I haven't touched any of them in a while (got Pikmin 2 recently, so that might be why).
The games I have on my to get list at the moment are probably Super Paper Mario, Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Mario Galaxy.
Not much, and two don't have a date yet, but so far that seems to be all I'm looking forward to, unless I'm forgetting something...

I think I'll be getting SSX Blur for my birthday, so my next definite purchase is Paper Mario. :)
It's been nice to see more third-party games for the Wii, even if some of them were lazy ports. For there to already be solid titles is good news and things can only get better from here on as more devs lend their support.
Here's hoping for some truly unique games we'll fondly remember for the rest of our lives, like we do with Zelda OOT, GoldenEye, and other classics.
I've got Zelda, Wii Play, Red Steel, Super Monkey Ball (sold), Wario Ware, Excite Truck, Sonic and SSX Blur.
I'm thinking of Heatseeker and/or Medal of Honour next.

Metal Slug!!!
Though I'm probably getting a 360 & CoD3 (plus maybe another) next week, so I'll probably leave Metal Slug til when I get payed at the end of April.

Possibly DBZ Tenkaichi 2, wasn't it supposed to have come out already?
It was suppose to but it got delayed an extra week,also i've got a little stor about that.
So it's lunchtime and i'm just back from ASDA and I check my phone and I have 2 missed calls and a text message from my mum saying that my local GAME had DBZ in.So i'm replying back when she phones me and tells me the whole story about GAME receiving the game a week early so they decided to sell it.I finish school and rush home and jump on a bus to GAME excited about getting this cause it looks great.
I pick up the box of the game,head to the till and hand the box over.After about 5 minutes of waiting and talking to the manager and searching he comes back and says the know longer have any in and they won't till Wednesday or Thursday.Outraged and going wtf I phone my mum to make sure I got things right.
I did, and she phoned them up to double check aswell(heading to bus at the time) but said something about point of sale or something like that and it ended up they didn't have any but they thought they did and couldn't understand why the boxes where out.So by this time i've missed the bus home,so it ended up I had to walk home and got severaly ripped from my dad who couldn't laughing at me :heh:

Eledeedes.. or what it's callede these days.. and paper mario.. whenever that appearsYep, same for me.
I'm still annoyed at the lack of release dates for first party games. Apart from Eledees none of the 3rd party stuff appeals to me.
Emasher
23-03-2007, 10:41 PM
either pokemn battle revolution or smash bros.
depends on what comes out first.
Melainon
23-03-2007, 10:49 PM
So far I have Zelda, Rayman, Red Steel, WarioWare, FarCry Vengeance and Sonic. My next purchase will probably be Medal of Honor, and after that either Eledees or Heatseeker.
triforcemario
23-03-2007, 11:24 PM
Either Sonic or The Godfather. I'm still torn between the two.
Which would you guys recommend?
Sparko
24-03-2007, 01:11 AM
Probably ExciteTruck or SSX. Won't be for a while yet, me and my brother are still playing through Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.
rokhed00
24-03-2007, 01:16 AM
Either SSBB, SMG or Metroid Prime 3, whichever is released first.
The-Ironflame
24-03-2007, 01:33 AM
Heatseeker or MOH.

24-03-2007, 06:27 AM
I just bought Excite Truck yesterday, so my next purchase will probably be SSX Blur.

Ren of Heavens
25-03-2007, 11:42 AM
Got Zelda. Super Paper Mario will probably be my second game.
gaggle64
25-03-2007, 09:01 PM
Metal Slug most probably. Or possibly Heat Seeker.
ShadowV7
25-03-2007, 09:27 PM
My next definite one is DragonBall Z : Tenkaichi 2.
And if I see it cheap Metal Slug or Excitetruck.
rajmist
26-03-2007, 09:18 AM
MOH Vanguard
SSX Blur
ThePigMarcher
26-03-2007, 10:44 AM
I am thinking about picking up Heatseeker (if funds allow) next as this appears to be quite promising.
Other than that , the 'main' one after that will be Super Paper Mario.
Darkspine S
26-03-2007, 12:36 PM
Oooo, tough one.::shrug:
Perhaps heatseeker, if I can get some money.:hmm:
ShadowV7
26-03-2007, 07:55 PM
Well now thanks to triforce mario I kinda want Rampage.
Also Darkspine you stole my desktop image :heh:
Ellmeister
26-03-2007, 08:42 PM
Dragonball-Z Tenkaichi 2!
Then I'm waiting for anything good, and from what i've read, the next best is going to be mario.
Can't wait for tenkaichi :D Already got plans with a mate for an all nighter.

Sonic has caught my gaze, and continues to temp me into my financial doom.
Every week - "Booze or Sonic"
Booze wins because I don't have to get home to utilize it.

26-03-2007, 10:06 PM
Wario Ware, 3 Wii-Motes and Excite Truck.
Mr. Bananagrabber

I own Zelda, Wii Play, Sports and Sonic.
I'll be getting No More Heroes next. The game I bought the machine for.
Atomic Boo
31-03-2007, 10:48 PM
Probably another controller, then Vanguard, if it's good.
scratch that, if this is anything to go by, ill avoid it

Most the games I want won't be out for a while, but here's what I'II be buying for sure:
Mario Party 8
Smash Bros
Super Paper Mario
Eledee
Pokemon Battle Revolution
----------------
And I'II wait for a further price drop to pick up Sonic and Excite truck.
thomaschung
31-03-2007, 11:07 PM
definitely super paper mario when it's out, but thinking about one of The Godfather, Medal of Honour Vanguard, Soinc, and Excite Truck. Can't make up my mind what to get.
Will be picking up Hotel Dusk on DS in 2 weeks
Caris
31-03-2007, 11:16 PM
Paper Mario proboly.
triforce_keeper
31-03-2007, 11:23 PM
Eledees.
Looks fun :P
Ginger_Chris
31-03-2007, 11:25 PM
Paper Mario, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime and Smash Brothers are all definates.
Looking at my pile of wii related products I might have to start cutting down on other titles, I've bought more for the wii in a few months than i did in 2 years for my gamecube. (7 games, 4 remotes, 3 nunchucks)
Smiter
31-03-2007, 11:40 PM
Got both Godfather and SSX Blur, that should keep me going until Paper Mario comes out. :)
MunKy
01-04-2007, 04:15 PM
What should I get? Exitetruck, Metal Slug or Red Steel?
ShadowV7
01-04-2007, 04:26 PM
Hopefully Sonic and DBZ will pass time to Paper Mario.
I don't expect to pay the full price for any game untill then.
antster1983
01-04-2007, 04:36 PM
Metal Slug and Eledees next for me! :)
martinist
01-04-2007, 04:36 PM
Super Mario Galaxy or Smash Bros, whichevers out first
My next Wii purchases in order are:
Eledees, April 07
Super Paper Mario, May (hopefully)
Mario Party 8, June
Trauma Centre, July
One a month, which is lovely. :D

01-04-2007, 04:46 PM
Dunno about mine. Waiting for all the Nintendo biggies but my Wii collection is currently running at about 16 games and I have hardly played on some of them so. Got HeatSeeker and DragonBallZ this weekend so those two can keep me going for a few weeks.
That Guy
01-04-2007, 06:30 PM
Not sure whether to get eledees this month or not. Might just wait until the end of the month to get it.
God sake I need to stop buying games!
I will get Heatseeker next payday I think.....considering DBZ but would like to hear if those controls are fluid first.
Mike1988uk
01-04-2007, 09:17 PM
Well i got Zelda and wii play for launch, followed by Red steel and warioware. Had Red Steel and warioware traded in once i completed them at my local game store (Crewe) And got super monkey ball last week as it was on offer on game online for £20.
I went round my mates house today and i played on his excite truck. I really liked it and i think that will be my next purchase! Sonic is also a contender as well as heatseeker.
flameboy
02-04-2007, 09:43 AM
Well my next purchase is going to be between:
Sonic
Medal Of Honour
Heatseeker
Godfather
Eleedes.
Think its either gonna be sonic or godfather though to be honest, think they will be the longest out of the two games, so think it will be Godfather first when the student loan comes in on the 16th...and of course Paper Mario but god knows when that will drop.

02-04-2007, 09:51 AM
So far I have Zelda, Red Steel, Monkey Ball and Escite Truck. In the last month I have been buying old Cube games, but the next Wii game I am going to buy is either Paper Mario, or possibly Sonic or Rayman today.
Librarian
02-04-2007, 10:08 AM
well looking at the release list... Eledees it's going to be
Well, now I have Zelda, Sports, Play, Red Steel, Wario Ware, Excite Truck, Sonic, SSX Blur and Medal of Honor. I'm not sure whats next. Heatseeker or GodFather, perhaps PoP if the controls are any good (I haven't played any of the PoP games before), or wait until Super Paper Mario.
dazzybee
02-04-2007, 12:34 PM
I have far too many games - Zelda, Play, sports, red stell, monkey ball, call of duty, sonic, excite truck, kororinpa and SSX Blur - haven't even started playing a few of them!! Got them cheap-ish!!
Next purchase will likely be Eledees, unless i see Godfather in gamestation for £30 or under!!! Hope not though, want to save Godfather until I've completed the others!!
Fierce_LiNk
02-04-2007, 12:42 PM
I can foresee some good sales for The GodFather. Seen it pop up a dozen or so times in this thread. Not bad for what many consider to be an EA port with 'tacked on' controls.
Even I'm thinking about it now. Daamn.
darksnowman
02-04-2007, 05:46 PM

*Looks at your sig* :blank:
You mean to say that you didnt get Sonic on release?? You're a right old trickster, flameboyo!
triforcemario
02-04-2007, 06:46 PM
Godfather and Eledees, hopefully.
Platty
02-04-2007, 07:16 PM
I quite fancy getting blazing angels.... when is that actually out?
apart from that im not sure really, havent played my wii much lately except for streets of rage on the VC.
I may pick up heatseeker and medal of honour but I still havent finished call of duty 3 yet. :/
antster1983
02-04-2007, 07:21 PM

It's out now. :)
The-Ironflame
02-04-2007, 07:31 PM
Eledees probably.

It's out now. :)
It is???
*goes and buys*
flameboy
04-04-2007, 10:41 AM
well the last few days have made me reassess what I want to get for the wii, sod getting Godfather as a filler title. I want Mario Charged and Resident Evil 4!
Darkspine S
04-04-2007, 11:20 AM
My next Wii purchase will be whichever one of these comes out first:
Smackdown Vs Raw 2008
MK Armeggedon
SSBB
Super Paper Mario
SpiderMan 3
Boy, I need more money.:hmm:
kav82
04-04-2007, 11:33 AM
I think I'll more than likely get one of the following next...
Godfather
Super Paper Mario
MK Armageddon

My next Wii purchase will be whichever one of these comes out first:
Smackdown Vs Raw 2008
MK Armeggedon
SSBB
Super Paper Mario
SpiderMan 3
Boy, I need more money.:hmm:
Think either MK or Spiderman will be first then, Spiderman is meant to be worldwide in time for the film which is 4th May.
I've decided to exchange loads of games with my mates and save up all the money for the insane 3rd and 4th quarter.
Current shopping list:
Pokemon Pearl
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Super Paper Mario
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles
Super Mario Galaxy
And possibly Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Virtual Console points
Ridiculously powerful laptop for uni
I'm probably forgetting a few titles now... Hope I don't have to buy those all by myself :sad:

04-04-2007, 02:21 PM
Next Wii purchase won't be for a while, nothing interests me as much as Xbox 360 exclusives.

04-04-2007, 02:24 PM
Mario Strikers next month.
darksnowman
04-04-2007, 06:13 PM
Excite Trucks on the way! :yay:
(And an SD Card :wink: ...or two.)
ShadowV7
04-04-2007, 06:15 PM
From the looks of NoE (carppy) Q2 list.Chances are Mario Strikers.
So dissapointed that there's no Paper Mario.

04-04-2007, 06:20 PM

I see you went with the HMV deal? :heh: I bought 2 SD Cards aswell.
darksnowman
04-04-2007, 06:23 PM
Yeah, it seems to be dispatched with the two cards. I think I'll give it a whirl before I try putting any Muse-ic onto it, just to see if the proper soundtrack actually is wick. :heh:
I ordered a fair few GBA bargains from HMV, too. It'll be hit and miss whether I get them though. :(
gaggle64
04-04-2007, 06:36 PM
Yep, definitly Heatseeker. I like planes and I like explosions, for sure a match made in heaven.
