No "Hidden Gems" or "Defining Games" for Wii?

Post by Lodestar »

I noticed there are no articles in these sections that pertain to the Wii and I think now would be a great time to do work on them, seeing as the console's reached its peak some time ago, not to mention with the advent of the Wii U, is officially "last gen."

Would the RB community be interested in working together on putting together some solid lists for Racket Boy? These are some of my favorite things to reference when looking for new things to play and I still (very frequently) re-read the previous articles - they're pretty fantastic.

I'm just here to gauge interest, but would love to contribute as well.

This would be a good idea and I'd love to help.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

It just has not been written yet. If the community wants to work on it, awesome.

I have a lot of overlooked Wii games that might have been passed over as "shovelware", and I would be happy to contribute to this article. Please PM me if someone is organizing this.

I was gonna say that the Wii isn't exactly retro, but with the release of the WiiU I guess it now is.

I'll organize it. Anyone interested in participating, please PM me to indicate your interest and nominate at least seven Wii games you feel qualify as hidden gems, using the standards of previous hidden gems articles as a guideline.

I think it has more to do with the Wii not being retro yet. I mean there aren't even defining titles for OXbox, GC and PS2 yet (though oddly enough, there are Hidden Gems for them).

I'd really like to see articles on PSP and DS.
