Over the next four days, the EndSights editorial staff will make their picks for their most anticipated exclusives for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii. In addition, they will also be making their picks for their most anticipated multiplatform game.
We’re covered the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Up next is the Nintendo Wii:
Nate Seites, Reviews Editor: Whatever the Hell They Do With The Vitality Sensor:
Since I don’t currently have access to my Wii it’s hard for me to get excited about any Wii game right now. Though for me, the only direction I want the Wii to go is more crazy. This is why I’m excited for whatever game or “game†they bring out using the vitality sensor.
What could they possibly do with this pulse sensing device? The obvious answer would be to bundle it with Trauma Team, but that isn’t happening. Maybe they can bundle it with a future Resident Evil or Silent Hill. The higher your pulse rises, the more sensitive the aiming cursor is, or something. The possibilities are infinite with this strange device. Never would I have thought I would be playing a game with a vitality sensor, but someday (hopefully) I will be.
Chuck Waltz, Staff Writer: Super Mario Galaxy 2:
I feel as if this one basically goes without saying — much like most everyone else, I absolutely loved Super Mario Galaxy. So when Super Mario Galaxy 2 was announced at Nintendo’s press conference, I was on board in an instant. Mario’s first space epic was perfect in almost every way delivering on the classic platforming we know and love, but also introducing some new gameplay twists that took advantage of the outer space setting. I’m more than happy that we get to see another installment in this space setting and I can’t wait to see what new twists in the gameplay having Yoshi around will bring.
Art Green, Managing Editor: Wii Sports: Resorts:
We might tend to skew to the more “core†audience, but I would be lying if I didn’t say that I was eagerly anticipated Wii Sports: Resorts. The first Wii Sports, whatever your opinion on the Wii might be, is arguably one of the most important video games of this generation — and it was never even sold at retail. (Well, at least in Europe and North America)
Wii Sports: Resorts will unlikely be the same hit as Wii Sports, (unless Nintendo bundles them both, with a Wii Motion Plus plug-in) but it should be just as fun. The skydiving section in the beginning looks to be a cool introduction to the game, and the basketball fan in me really wants to try out the basketball mini-game. On top of that, Wii Sports: Resorts is going to be the litmus test for Wii Moton Plus – Nintendo knows their hardware better than anyone, and we’ll see how they well they take advantage of it when the game hits retail shelves in July.
