Going right the way back to the PS1 launch, Wipeout was considered the killer launch title....I put more hours into that than many games I bought subsequently. I was blown away by it at the time.
Subsequent console launches had titles rated way up too.
The Wii has lots of GOOD titles, maybe even very good, but it seems to be lacking the EXCELLENT titles. Fortunately the novelty value of the new control mechanism is peaking our interest and that in itself is enough for me right now.
Nevertheless I am surprised there wasn't one launch title, that had graphics at least on par with Resident Evil 4, gameplay to rival the best Mario games, immersion and game length to match a Zelda, and full use of the new control mechanism to ensure it brings something new to the table.
Anyone else agree?
Don't get me wrong...I love my Wii and am playing it a lot. I just would have thought there would be one killer title that could be identified as the first King of Wii.
