What Wii Want

(page 3 of 3)

Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 (Ubisoft, November 14)—Once again, the Rabbids take control of Rayman's world, forcing him to complete whatever mini-games they throw at him. This sequel should be just as much fun as the first game, if not more so. The diversity of the mini-games goes through the roof this time around, with the Rabbids' reactions adding a great comedic factor to the game.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Capcom, November 14)—Capcom's flagship horror series returns with an all-new custom-made entry for the Nintendo Wii. In Chronicles, survival/horror fans work their way through the terror-filled Raccoon City, shooting zombies or whatever else gets in their way with multiple weapons. Although the game is simple compared to other Resident Evil games, Chronicles looks fantastic and plays relatively well, especially with the Wii Zapper. Let's just hope the hokey dialogue makes a return.

Trauma Center: New Blood (Atlus, November 14)—The second Trauma game for the Wii should definitely outperform the first, thanks to a new multiplayer mode where two surgeons can battle it out to save a patient. (Just don't get any cuts on the patients themselves) Several new scenarios get introduced, requiring utmost precision and split-second timing to avoid a medical disaster.

WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 (THQ, November 14)—How many people can say they faced Triple H and laid the smack down on him? Well, thanks to this game, just about everyone. (Just don't say it directly to his face.) Smackdown's debut on the Wii brings motion-sensitive controls that really bring out the actions of wrestlers, right down to posing for the fans and performing a finishing move. Don't forget the steel chair.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega, November 21)—Sega's mascot and Nintendo's most familiar face join forces for the first time ever with this fully interactive sports-fest, tying in with the 2008 Olympic Games. Characters from both Sonic's universe and the Mario world face off against each other in a series of events, including hurdles, javelin throw, hammer throw and various activities. The multiplayer factor should be a big seller for this game, with four players able to compete at once.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Nintendo, December 3)—Nintendo's well-known characters battle it out for fighting superiority, along with Hideo Kojima's Solid Snake. The weapons look awesome, the Final Strikes should be epic, the graphics and sound should bring out the best in the Nintendo Wii and the multiplayer...man, if this was online then we would stop updating altogether.
