Mario Party 9?

[ShadowBrain]

Oh, yeah, I still half-heartedly want to go back and finish getting those...

[jmdblazer]

As if there would be a Wii game without motion control at any point whatsoever.

Um... Brawl?

[penguinwizard]

Um... Brawl?

Virtual Console games?

[ShadowBrain]

Dang! Forgot Brawl... but VC games are internet-purchased older games not made directly for the Wii.

I guess my point, as it has been and will always be (though I don't express it a lot for obvious reasons), is that "new" controls is no substitute for creativity within the actual game.

[CrossEyed7]

Brawl has optional motion controls if you use the nunchuck.

[ShadowBrain]

Oh...

If you didn't know you were right, does it still count?

[CrossEyed7]

It did before you asked that. Sort of like the episode of Goof Troop where Goofy told Max he couldn't have a pet, but Max went out and got a pet dragon anyway, but Goofy was planning to tell him he could have a pet anyway, but it was still a dragon, so he couldn't keep it.

that's not true, the graphic advances, the new charecters, the microphone functionality, and don't forget the wii remote functionality, those were all new things.

Graphic changes and new characters don't innovate the gameplay whatsoever, Wii remote functionality doesn't either as it's just them moving from one controller to the next. It's like saying that use of the gamecube controllers was an innovation. I'll give you the microphone thing, but it was barely used and when it was, half the time it couldn't understand my words.

And collecting little nic nacs that do absolutely nothing is not innovative enough to keep me hooked.

Just for the record, that's basically what I was trying to say.

I agree with most of that. The only word (or words) the mic understood me to say was Toad and Toadette.. everything else, it had to ask me Did you say Luigi?.. Yes, no?

Also, I hate to jump all over a spelling error, but I think the word is Knick-Knacks. I could be wrong..

[ShadowBrain]

Yeah, it is.

But who likes silent letters, really? Let's all go with Nintendoverlord's spelling, even if it reminds me of some sort of Chinese rip-off of Tic-Tacs!
