We all know that the Wii controller has the potential to seriously disrupt the gaming industry and effect how we play games for years to come. Some, like myself, worry about the Wii's staying power and whether or not it will continue to put out hits that will be massive enough to keep it competitive with MS and Sony (yes, I know Nintendo has stated it isn't in direct competition with either, but still).

So here's what I'm thinking: I know it won't make any difference, but as a diversion for the remaining days until the Wii launches, why don't we post ideas that could, in our own opinion, be great games for the Wii (at least, initially). I'm pretty sure there's a similar thread out there already, I just couldn't find it in the little time I have before work.

So here's mine:

Captain America: Dawn of the Shield (name subject to change)
Concept: Play as the captain from his beginnings win WWII and through more modern adventures as the leader of the Avengers/Ultimates.

Play style: Use Call of Duty 1st person style camera in WWII. The nunchuck could control movement and the wiimote could control targeting and firing. Once you get your shield, it could also control shield throws, while a button on the nunchuck could control blocks. Once in the modern era it could turn to 3rd person (in theory), allowing for target lock-on for both guns and shield combat.
(Alternatively, this could be 3rd person, since Captain America is big on hand to hand combat, but in the Ultimates comics he DOES use guns, so the 1st person aspect could work).

Include a rpg-like level-up system, allowing for customization in things like throwing speed, range and damage, running speed, strength, less recoil with gunfire, etc.

You would play through WWII until cap is frozen in ice, then be thawed out and run a solo adventure for S.H.I. E.L.D. or have some NPC fun with 1 or two avengers (personally, I prefer the idea of a solo game).

Unlockables: the WWII outfit/shield, US Agent outfit, the Classic outfit.

I think it would be totally awesome to have some sort of Star Wars game for the Wii. Like KOTOR 3, where you can move with the nunchuck and use the Wiimote as a lightsaber! That would be totally awesome. And have wifi play, would make it even more cool.

katamari Damacy would work pretty well I'd think.

Name: Katana (or some other japanese name lol)

In this game, you play as a chef in a japanese restaurant or something and your gf is kidnapped, so you do the whole rescue the girl things by yourself, using a combinationg of throwing stars, swords, and other sharp blade-like objects. These weapons will be nice with the wiimote controls, and you can also use the controller to do some Beni Hanna stuff too.

Hey i like your idea.


My idea would be create a new Legend of Zelda, in which a war between Link and his allies(Goron, Zora, Hylians, etc.) versus Ganondorf and his army (all the enemies Link has faced), in which you choose to play as Link, and have side missions with his allies like spying and other war stuff, Or you can choose the dark side and battle as Ganondorf and his army.

My idea is Mario Bowling Tour.

You play with all the characters from the mushroom Kingdom (along with a few friends from the Kongo Jungle) and have ten frames of fun! Like Superstar Baseball, each character has their unique power-ups. There are also power-ups that characters can use to prevent the bowler from getting big pins.

There are different modes like League mode (pick a team and go for the league trophy), Tour mode (pick your player and go for the tour championship), and Party mode (gather up to four friends and have a bowling blast).

kind of like super smash brother but not really. unless ssbb has the idea of having all the characters actually meet and work together then that is my idea. it should be in actual game where they all collide into one world. think of x-men where u can play as four people as once but all nintendo characters. u have to admitt that would be pretty cool. wiimote could b used ask links sword

They need more mario sport type games, but have them more like smash bros with characters from all over nintendo, not just the mushroom kingdom

Anyway I think they need a flying game where u hold the wiimote vertical as a joystick thing which you use to fly, that would be awesome for a starfox or star wars game, perhaps the star wars game could have flying and lightsaber sections, but be better than rebel strike

ive always thought a jurrassic park cross resident evil game would be awesome, imagine walking around a dark jungle in first person with the wiimote controlling nothing but a torch...that would be cool

i also think they need a completely new game, a new series, I don't know what but something really fresh and groundbreaking, everything is still a bit samey, even with the new controller, we need a new type of game, a new genre or something

Here's my boxart that I created a long time ago with this idea:

NOTE: This was before the boxing style for the Wii was revealed.

GTA WII
motion sencing shooting, stealing cars, beating people. Great stress releaver after school

I have a similar idea, look at my thread, HERE

great mind think alike

Great ideas guys!
I really like the concept of Mario Bowling with all those power ups and different character moves. That sounds fun. There was an earlier thread on the possibility of an MMORPG for Zelda (which I think would be cool), although an RTS would work too.

you know what the worst game idea would be? Desperate housewives. Only a completely moronic company would make it.

wait a minute...

lol

A game came out for it on the PC. lol
