    Nintendo and third party companies seem to have the right idea and started developing games people want. Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Dragon Quest Swords (I heard one bad review about it though), Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Mario Charged Strike and Wii Fit. Which of these games do you plan to buy?

    (Please wait for Poll)

    EDIT: Poll Up

    Even though it received a bad review, I still have high expectations for Dragon Quest Swords.

    I really want to see more first person shooters for the Wii. I think Resident Evil 4:Wii edition worked great. (I know, technically it is not a first person shooter.) I want Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles to work smoothly. I do not want to see another Red Steel or Call of Duty 3 disaster. I also want to see an online RPG game for the Wii. I know Dragon Quest Swords is not online, but it would be nice if Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is an online RPG. Unfortunately, I highly doubt it.

    Smash, Mario, Metroid. Those are just about the only games worth getting for the Wii and that's IF I end up buying one this holiday season.

    I watched a few videos on resident evil and it doesn't look like you actually make the character walk, it seems as if they walk by themselves and you just point and shoot....is this true? If so I will be really disappointed.

    Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, No, you control movement.

    Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Yes, you dont control movement.

    Every video you saw is a partial version of the game. The full version will have some major differences. I highly doubt the character will walk automatically. I am certain when I say, you will be able to control you character's movements.

    Yeah Umbrella Chronicles is a "rail-shooter" like those arcade shooters.

    I am most looking for to Brawl and Metroid. I plan on getting GHIII also.

    Does anyone plan to get Forever Blue. I am a biology major and I like studying wildlife, but even I plan to avoid this game.
