If your eyes weren't instantly drawn to the image on the right I'm sure it still wouldn't have been too hard to figure out what WiiLoaded's pick for Game of the Month would have been for March. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been Wii's most anticipated release without a doubt with many buying Wii consoles at launch with Brawl being their main reason for the purchase.
The long running series has made an appearance on every Nintendo home console since the N64 and has slowly grown in popularity with each sequel. The fast paced 2D fighter has captivated gamers and brought fan-service to a whole new level. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was a huge step forward for the series with the addition of a robust single player experience and online multiplayer. Add this to a very large roster of characters, more stages than ever, and even the ability to create your own custom stages and Brawl is every Smash Bros. fan's dream.
While the online play can be a bit sketchy at times things have slowly been coming together and hopefully at some point down the line Nintendo will be able to resolve the issues. If as a Wii owner you could only purchase one game this would be it. The game is able to cater to both the hardcore and technical player while still being able to appeal to the party audience looking to only get a few matches in and have a good time.
Runner up - Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
While the winner was an easy decision the runner up position came down to Bully: Scholarship Edition and Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. While both are great titles that every Wii owner should at the very least consider looking into, PES pulled ahead. The Wii version of PES 2008 brings more to the table than simply being a port of the other versions and Konami has done a great job in innovating and changing their franchise which is what Wii is all about. The point, click, and drag mechanics work surprisingly well and should be held up as the standard for not only Wii soccer games in the future, but sports games in general. It is arguably the must have version of the game for soccer fans everywhere.
A Second Take - Alex51011
If there was only one game I could buy it would have to be Smash Bros. The game has given me hours upon hours of joy. Almost everything about the game seems to be polished to perfection. The characters, stages, music, everything. It’s almost too much to take for one game; it does have problems of course but the pros far outweigh the cons. I could go on forever telling you why this game is so great but there’s no need for that. Simply put, Smash Bros. is probably the best game on the Wii and is without a doubt the single greatest game released this March.
