Most cool games that are released for Wii this year are already released.
Because of this, i'm just going to recommend good games you might want
to play, with the risk you already played them:

- Metroid Prime - Corruption
- Zack & Wiki
- Super paper Mario (I love these games)
- Naruto (Seems to be getting high reviews, but you should really be a fan to buy)
- Resident Evil 4 (Not exactly worth buying if you played or owned this on GC or PS2)

Promising games to be released:

- Godzilla Unleashed (Nov 13)
- RE: Umbrella Chronicles (which isn't quite a regular RE)
- Trauma Center: New Blood (Nov 20)
- Agatha Christie: And then there were none (Nov 30) (Adventure, Point 'n Click detective)
- DBZ Tenkaichi 3 (Dec 3) (Promising to be the best DBZ fighter. Ever.)

---------

You should also keep in mind that you're owning a Wii. These things play GC games
too. In short, if you haven't played some of the superb games on GC, it might be worth
the trouble trying those. I loved MGS: Snake Eater and Paper Mario on the Cube.

The only thing dumber than an argument on the Internet is the same argument in real life.

Red Steel is a shitfest. Don't buy it. Just don't. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is looking good. IGN keep raving on about how its controls beat the mighty Metroid Prime 3's.

But from now until Christmas, there ain't much happening on Wii. Medal of Honor 2 and Mario Galaxy are the only games I'm looking forward to. Zak and Wiki's looking nice, but it doesn't hit the UK until next year.

Revenant Wings and Batallion Wars 2 both look really good. I'm planning on getting them both once I can work a lot over winter break.

Damn you for putting up Zack and Wiki. I have to buy that now too...so gay.

If you are wary of Red Steel, then don't even touch Dragon Blade. It's at least 5x more shittfest than Red Steel.

I have a nephew with a wii that is really desperate for action games too, so I know about these things from secondhand experience. (Hell is being asked by a relative to help him beat a level on a really shitty game)

You could pick up Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii, it's pretty fun.

The Wii has been out for a year, and (not counting Virtual Console stuff) my library only consists of:

Wii Sports
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Excite Truck
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Guitar Hero III

EDIT: Alright, I think I've found my Wii and DS action-fixes for this year: Soulcalibur Legends and Scurge: Hive, respectively. My next question is...have any of you played the RPG called "Contact" for the DS? Is it any good? I've had my eye on it since it's from the creator of Killer7...but will it be worth investing time into?

Ryan, what difficulty do you play on on GH3?

perhaps we could play together (I play on Medium/Hard on anything loseable, I'll play expert on Pro Faceoff/Faceoff, but I'll most likely lose)

Zack and Wiki is definitely on my list, as well as MySims (unless it sucks, someone tell me if it sucks right now) and Metroid Prime. Besides that, everything else I am wanting isn't going to be out by Christmas, but I'm waiting for Geometry Wars, Trauma Center: New Blood, Samba de Amigo, Super Smash Brothers Melee, and fucking NO MORE HEROES.

MySims is supposed to be quite mediocre. It's supposed to be good for kids, however, they've taken out a lot of the aspects that make The Sims interesting. (you can't make any friends or anything in this one)

It has a median score of 69% on Metacritic. It has reviews ranging from 94% to 45%

Yea we could probably play. If I want to have fun I'll play on Hard, but the real difficulty I'm capable of is Expert. However, most songs in Expert for me now are just practically impossible and don't become fun for me anymore.

Again, does anyone know more about the game Contact?

I'll be home all day in about an hour maybe (depending on college), anyways, add me and give me your friend code. Here's mine

as I said, I'm not too good on Expert (only passed Slow Ride and Hit Me With Your Best Shot) and I'm on Tier 7 on Hard

That shitty DS RPG? The controls were crap, the stat levelling was counterintuitive, and the non-ending was a failed attempt at a plot twist that left a dull throbbing in the back of my head for several weeks.

On the other side of the spectrum, I really, really liked that game. Especially the class system, and twist at the end.

Alright I'll add you up when I get the chance. Damn stupid question, but where do I find my friend code on my Wii?

you need the FC from your game, not your Wii, anyways:

Wii Friend Code: From the Wii menu go to the Wii Message Board (bottom right corner) The go into create message, iirc... it's one of the buttons in the message board area.

GH3 Friend Code: Start up GH3, go to Nintendo WFC. make an account(screen name/band name) then go into show friends roster. The GH3 FC is in the top left. (may take a while to connect, and appear, just exit and re-enter a few times, or come back after playing some songs)

Agreed, 100%

I'm not conceited. I'm as good as I say I am.

Hmm, alright, so that's 2 for 3 on Contact. Maybe this'll be my DS RPG fix this year.
