Wii: If you could only have one game

Ok, perhaps a little repitition in these threads but lets actually talk Nintendo as these forums seem to be swaying to nudity these days. Anyway, lets put you in a hypothetical situation.

You only have enough money for a Wii and one launch game, (you have traded and sold all your previous consoles and games to raise the money (stupid if you ever did)) Now choose one game that you could have launch* now think that you cannot get another game for 6months. This is such a hard choice, but what would you do??

*Asume that all the options are launch titles*

I would probably go for LoZ since it makes a fair amount of use of the controller and it's supposed to be really long so it should last a good few of those months.

Well this is obviously based on our conversation earlier but i just want to play something different now. Especially how much Nintendo have been banging on about it.

I think most people would pick LOZ:TP and your reasoning is definately sound but ive voted Red Steel simply because it seems different, but Excite truck and Sonic Wildfire would defo be at the top of my list, as would Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros! Grrr Nintendo have baffled me this Xmas as there are DS,Wii and GC games i want! But perhaps only enough money for one on each system (which is a rarity but i figured that destroying my brain cells and liver is where most of my money will be going during the next educational year)

I might regret this based on past 3D Sonics, but...Sonic Wild Fire, no question about it. Coming up afterwards would be Smash Bros, Trauma Centre, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Red Steel and Twilight Princess (no particular order).

...I'm going to be SO poor.

If i had 2 choices I would definitly go with LoZ along Wiisports as it makes great use of the controller but it just looks a bit shallow considering i wouldnt be buying anything for 6 months.
But since it's one LoZ has the best value and at lease some nice wiimote ideas.

Oh God, Wii Sports too.

Hmmm Although WildFire looks nice i can't imagine the such on rails game would keep me entertained. Seems like a lazy solution to the poor camera angles that burden 3D Sonic games

I dunno at first it seems a bit restrictive but considering you only really move in one direction 95% of the time in sonic games (well modern ones anyway..) it could help keep the pace going and be less ghey.

Prime 3, no question. I could get Zelda on my Gamecube.

Yeah but it's still gonna be

On the contrary, I think the restriction is just what Sonic needs at this point. It's clear that they're getting worse and worse when 'free', so it can't hurt to try a different tactic. Also, reports that it feels as Sonic should always have been in 3D, basically the Mega Drive games in 3D, fills me with hope. The only thing I don't like the looks of is how he bounces back a bit after hitting an enemy (and perhaps I don't even like the 'lock on' jump attacks, they seem a bit unnecessary to me).

Red Steel becasue i haven't seen 2 many FPS games out there that i want recently so this is probably the best one out there. The unique game play, the sword fighting, graphics & storyline

Oh without a doubt i will still get it. Im not sure as the launch title i will be looking for but defo in time for xmas. This is the first time i feel like being selfish at christmas and not buying anyone any presents

Also i have fears that i wont be able to get a Wii at launch, i have fears that there will be shortages! And i cant preorder til October so

Yeah but it's still gonna be

i think the point he was trying to make was that it would be a better value for money to get the Wii version...

Put it like this then. Say hypothetically that you couldnt get LOZ:TP on the Gamecube. Which one would you get first MP3 or TP??

Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Nuff said.

Excitetrucks. If I could only afford one game, I'd try to get the one with the most replay value, and for me good racing games tend to last a while because of replayability.
Red Steel and Super Smash Bros. are close seconds though (is Smash Bros. a launch title? I was under the impression that it won't come out 'til after Christmas, but I dunno).
My third choices would be Mario Galaxy, Warioware, and Wii sports.

I've never really cared much for Zelda games. I think it's because of all the back tracking and going back and forth because of different items and whatever. I own Ocarina of Time, Oracle of Seasons, Four Swords (GC), and Link to the Past/Four Swords on the GBA. Out of those, Oracle of Seasons is the only one I've completed, the rest I've gotten bored of (I might play Four Swords some more though if I get bored over the summer). The games just don't hold my attention very well.. I think though I didn't like Ocarine of Time because I just got it less than a year ago, so it's old and it's harder to get into. Link to the Past just frustated me for one reason or another. Same with Four Swords, but to a lesser extent, plus I got it for Christmas so it got a bit overshadowed by some other games that hold my attention better. So we'll just have to see what happens with TP (good grief, that's longer that I was expecting).

Man it just hit me that I'm going to end up buying 10 games at launch.

Prime. they were the best titles on the cube.

Smash Bros or Sonic, with Zelda on my Cube, cheating.

Was a hard choice, but first up would be metroid prime, it looks so good, and most importantly, i am near certain that the control scheme will work, with Super smash bros im not yet convinved on the need to upgrade from SSMB. Dotn hate me for that, its my opinion, im bored of SSMB!

Well said. Have a Thought-Star (a most-special brand of star that isn't really a star at all 'cause I've only got one weekly 'real' one to give)

Also, this hypothetical 'one game' situation isn't too far from the truth. Whenever I do end up getting Wii though, it's got to be Zelda. Then I can just sit fishing while I'm waiting for six months (and I guess I could give the VC a damn good seeing-to as well, there ain't no hypothetical resrictions on that!)

People who didn't vote for Smash Bros should be SHOT!!! Though out of the real launch titles I think Mario Galaxy would probably be my first choice...

Prime 3.

Zelda- it's the obvious choice. But if I was allowed to buy Zelda for the Cube then it would be SSBB.

Zelda > Smash Bros > Red Steel > Metroid > Warioware > Sonic > Mario > Most other stuff on that list
