Wii Warm Up: The freeform game idea topic
As people who frequent game blogs, you no doubt think about video games all the time. We've seen plenty of threads on message boards about "wouldn't this be a great Wii game" and "the Wii needs this" and "I'd totally buy this". Now it's time to put your money where ... their ... mouths are. Hmmm.Inappropriate-sounding idioms aside, this is where we come up with our killer Wii game ideas. What do you think needs to exist? What would sell a million copies? What would be so awesome? The Star Wars lightsaber thing is off-limits-- that idea is well and truly out in the world now. It doesn't need any more encouragement. One note-- it doesn't necessarily have to be a super-Wiimote-appropriate idea-- we'll entertain "traditional" game designs too. Apparently Nintendo is keeping an eye on popular Wii gaming sites, so you could potentially put an idea into an influential mind or two! Or you could just have fun talking about games.
A different sort of Wii-shlist
Yeah, yeah, you can bust up some Yakuza punks and rampage across New York, but what else can we do with the Wiimote? British gadget mag T3 was kind enough to offer some possibilities for any game designers itching to find the perfect new idea. Their recommendations? Mario Darts Super Tokyo Juggling Rush Gladiators Barroom Brawl 2007 Ghostbusters The T3 blokes chose their Ghostbusters idea as the most viable of the lot, but we have to go with Mario Darts. Why buy a real dartboard and risk putting one through little Timmy's thigh when you can bring that smoky barroom favorite right into your living room with no fuss, no muss? This is probably a good time to admit a secret hankering for a game about soccer hooligans. Football, beer, and raging across London with your best mates, crowbars in hand. What could possibly be wrong with that? C'mon, reader -- design your own no-holds-barred use for the Wiimote. What do you want to bash today? [Via Go Nintendo]
