Ever since I got my modded Wii, I went into a frenzy trying to get all the games that I can, but I haven’t really found a game that I can stick to. Is the Wii overrated? Or is it just purely for party games?
Here’s a list of games that I’ve tried out:
- Warioware: Smooth Moves
- Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2
- Naruto
- Super Monkey Ball
- Super Paper Mario
- Trauma Center: Second Opinion
I’ve found Trauma Center to be lots of fun, but I’m stuck on the same level as on the DS version.
Warioware was lots of fun but I finished it a bit too quickly, but this will be great as a party game.
Dragon Ball Z was just too hard to play. It’s actually more like Virtua On or Gundam than a normal fighting game. Maybe I just need to spend more time on it.
Naruto is fun only because I’m a fanboy, but it’s not technically very advanced. The controls are generic – all the characters are essentially identical in usage, except that the jutsus that they perform. The game is graphically amazing. The Naruto animators manage to use cell shading to its maximum potential (much like the anime).
I only had a brief session with Super Monkey Ball, and I only played a few of the mini games. Some of the games are really fun, but then some are totally “wtf?”.
Super Paper Mario is kinda fun too, but it’s too slow paced for me, because it plays kinda like an RPG. And the story element is just plain silly (which is to be expected I guess).
Here’s a list of games that I have but haven’t tried out yet:
- Bleach
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight princess
- Metal Slug Anthology
- Need for Speed: Carbon
- Pokemon Battle Revolution
Here are the games that I’m still downloading:
- Red Steel
- Super Bombermanland
hey dude.. which wii mod did u try? Did u get it modded in aust? Ive been thinking of modding my one as well but it seems the modding scene isnt as developed as the DS yet.
I’m using a WiiKey on a JAP NTSC Wii.
The deal is, a NTSC Wii can play other NTSC games (ie. Jap/US) while Pal Wiis can only play Pal games (ie. Aus/Europe).
Of course, this includes full DVD+-R/RW compatibility.
There are some exceptions where cross-region compatibility will work, but they’re rare.
Because I wanted to play Jap games as well as English ones, I had to get an NTSC Wii (bought from ebay and shipped from HK).
As for getting a Wii modded in Aus, check out http://www.ozmodchips.com/. They seem to know what they’re doing. The chip is only $50. If I recall correctly you’ve got some electronic skills so you can probably do the soldering yourself.
BWAH!!! i knew it, ill have to wait it out then… i wanted play naruto and bleach…
(red steel sucks peanuts)
I tried bleach out yesterday and it’s quite good. I find it better than Naruto.
