2008 was generally seen as a good year for the Wii. Developers Nintendo started to break into new ground and tackle some more mainstream, dependable genres previously found lacking on the Wii. We saw the first FPS on the Wii to be done right; Call of Duty: World At War, the highly anticipated Smash Bros. sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Guitar Hero World Tour; which featured the all-important downloadable content for the first time. Hopefully the Wii's impressive swing will continue through 2009, and here we take a look at the most exciting prospects;
#3: The Conduit
The Conduit is stirring up a high level of excitement within the gaming community, with developers Voltage systematically releasing further info and screenshots to build up the tension. What we've been promised is categorically the best FPS released ever for the Wii, and from early footage it seems Voltage's claims may have the facts to back themselves up.
#2: Monster Hunter 3
Monster Hunter is a franchise that, whilst climbing in popularity over recent years, still doesn't receive the widespread praise it deserves. The game immerses players not only into the world of Monster Hunting, but all the trivialities that come with it, such as earning a living, growing food, smithing armour etc. This new edition for the Wii is set to feature underwater monster hunting, a great prospect in itself. Since there aren't all that many online action roleplaying games available for the Wii, Monster Hunter 3 should enjoy further popularity in this area.
#1: No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggles
One of Nintendo's breakout successes in 2008, No More Heroes took the Wii by storm, and impressed many people with it's stylish cutscenes and frantic action. Over the course of the game the main character, Travis Touchdown, struggles to become the deadliest assassin on the charts. Now that his goal has been realised, what's next? No doubt it'll include lots more action, adventure and comedy.
