Manhunt 2 Confirmed for Wii
Of all the licenses I expected to see on the Wii, the ultra-violent Manhunt title was not one of them. Coming to the 'next-gen alternative' trifecta of PSP, PS2, and Wii this summer is Manhunt 2 (not to be confused with the Sierra Manhunter adventure game series). The followup to the violent Rockstar title from 2003 will 'push game design and storytelling forward', sticking close to the original's dark suspense/stealth motifs.
Anyone remember back to last year's E3?
The talk of Nintendo leading the way with gameplay and innovation?
The talk of Nintendo embarrassing the other console makers with their boldness?
Fast forward to today and what did the reality turn out to be?
GameCube games that Nintendo sat on for the past year so they could tack on some Wiimote stuff and sell them as Wii games.
Half-assed third party crap dumped on the console.
A couple of third party games actually designed for the Wii where the controls are kinda interesting but actually pretty clunky in reality.
Some Nintendo first party stuff that might come out in late 2007 but more likely sometime in 2008.
Like many other Wii owners, the Wii was a hit for a couple nights during the holidays when people were around the house. But now my Wii is sitting gathering dust these days. With nothing worth buying and who the hell knows when an actual Wii game is going to be released worth buying.
Where the hell is the online stuff Nintendo?
Where the hell are all these 'innovative' games Nintendo?
I could of just waited a little while and saved 200 bucks and just bought Zelda for my old GameCube.
