Weekly Poll: Instant Wiiplay
January 26, 2009
Purchasing downloadable games isn't a regular habit for most people, it seems. I tend to buy at least one a month, but I tend to stick with titles that I think I will continue to play long into the future such as Bionic Commando: Rearmed or Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Too many downloadable games are instant gratification fluff that lack replay value and I see no reason to throw money away on such things. Give me staying power any day.
Speaking of replay value, Nintendo is about to release the first wave of New Play Control games for the Wii. As you'll recall, these are games that originally appeared for the GameCube that have been reworked to include Wii motion controls instead of the traditional control stick paradigm and sold at budget prices. First out of the gate are Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin. Will you try these games? Or are the original GameCube versions enough? Let's hear your thoughts.
