Title: Twilight Princess HELP!
Post by: Warrior_Monk on January 16, 2009, 04:25:22 PM

I'm now a proud owner of a Wii, but I need some advice on which game to get next.

I own:
Mario Kart Wii
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Wii Sports
Wii Play
NBA 08 Basketball
Tiger Woods Pro Golf

I'm debating on buying:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Fire Emblem: Path of Radience (or is it Radient Dawn?)
Mario Party 8
Star Wars: Force Unleashed

and any others that I didn't suggest that are exceptional...
the tally's:
Brawl: 5
Zelda: 5
Force Unleashed: 3
Metriod 3: 3
FE: 2
Super Mario Galaxy: 2
Soul Caliber Legends: 1
and all the other games JSB metioned...

I figured this would be the responce. Problem is: I have no good 1 player games.

anybody (JSB?) know how to use Olimar effectively?

FE is an awesome one player game. I've never played the wii version but if its as good as the DS it will be worth it.

or any of the other FE ones...

I used to use Olimar as a secondary.

One player games?

Zelda definitely.

It's easily one of the Wii's must haves.

After that, you might wanna check out Metroid Prime 3.

go with zelda or fire emblem for a one player game. zelda is awesome. and dont even think about mario party 8. it stinks so hard since they OVERSIMPLIFIED EVERYTHING! and i mean everything! the comp players are so stupid on some games yet you cant beat them on others somehow. just dont buy it.

zelda will take you a while to beat but i havent played fire emblem.

Zelda is the best 1 player game maybe ever.  Mario Party stinks.  Brawl is also ok.  I haveheard Force Unleashed is fun, but short.

You should reserve Mortal combat nickelodian bash ( I am pretty sure it's teen for graphic violence and extreme gore)  but it's all good cuz  dora and boots get brass nucks and and sawed-off shotguns.

I would suggest
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Star Wars: Force Unleashed
Metroid Prime 3
Elebits
Super Mario Galaxy
Animal crossing (If you have a DS buy WW and ignore the console ones)
Super Paper Mario
Battalion Wars 2 (It's a first person RTS)
I'm going to post an Olimar tutorial on Youtube soon but until then here's a link to another good video

Every person who owns a Wii should have Super Mario Galaxy.  Overall, it's not terribly difficult (although there are a lot of tricky parts), but it's just so entertaining it's a blast to play.  So many times you'll just think "Wow, that is COOL!" while you're playing it, it's incredibly innovative and the Wiimote controls are so much fun to use.  I would also suggest getting Brawl, and Twilight Princess if you like Zelda games. 

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is really atmospheric and immersive, the Wii controls are awesome for First Person Shooters.  The downside is that the difficulty is really toned down from the previous games, and it feels more like a First Person Shooter than a First Person Adventure.  It's still a great game, though.

Title: Re: hmm... (wii games)
Post by: JSB23 on January 19, 2009, 05:10:28 PM

You should just buy the MP trilogy (it only costs like $55 and it's way worth it)
The first one is a good balance of puzzles and enemies (no extra comments here)
The second one is way more of both )and is extremely hard beware )
The third one is too easy, but still a great game (there's to few save points)   

but if I could only get one I'd get the first one because it's only like $6 at Gamestop

Title: Re: hmm... (wii games)
Post by: Arch Angel on January 19, 2009, 09:17:30 PM

I'd suggest Soul Caliber Legends. By far my favorite game that I've played on the Wii so far. It's also only about $20 new, and is really great for 1p gaming, and decent for 2p once you get used to the controls.

my cousin said that SMG was terrible... so I think I'd go with Zelda, just to be safe. as far as metriod goes, I have 2, and I got stuck after not playin g it for 2 months

Star Wars: Force Unleashed - rates high on fun, especially the head to head saber duels
SSBB

I ended up with Twilight Princess  ;D

now, how do you get that basket? I've found the monkey, but IDK how to get him down.

lets see if I have this right: I need to get the basket to get the fishing pole, I need the fishing pole to (get a fish...) and bait the cat, I need the cat to get the empty bottle, I need the empty bottle to store the bee larva in, I need the bee larva to sell to the shopkeeper so I can get a slingshot. right?

Unfortunately, I don't remember TP too well; it has been a bit...

Use the hawk (or owl IDK) to grab the basket.  I think.

My son types the following:

You know that hawk grass that you blow to call the hawk? Well,if you throw the hawk at it the monkey drops the basket and you can fish for the cat and get a bottle.

This is correct, but to clarify, you don't fish for the cat, you fish for a fish and the cat takes it.

You remember the giant flaming rock that fell when you were climbing death mountain? Well go to that, talk to giggle fit shadow (the twilight shorty that is riding you atm) and then teleport to zora's domain and he will set them up the bomb.

Also once you get water bombs go down and free the trapped Goron, he gives you a second bomb bag

Title: Re: Twilight Princess HELP!

Where is the trapped Goron?  Also, the guy in hyrule begging for money, does he do anything? Also the lil kid who wants spring water, what does he give you?

The guy asking to pay for the shop is the start of a long side quest to get the magic armor, the guy asking for peace gives you a heart container after you give him enough money (5000 I think)

No, it's a long story. Essentially, her (the person I lent it to) sister is a crazy druggie. Her mom finally kicked her out. When she left, she took the Wii and all of the games. Apparently, she sold them.
