October 28, 2011 – 12:44 pm |

One to Watch: The Wii Release for November 2008

Submitted by on November 3, 2008 – 8:52 pmNo Comment

And there it is. THE ONE to Watch for Wii in November 2008.

Animal Crossing: City Folk moves into town on November 16. The game is $50 by itself, or $70 for this snazzy game+Wii Speak bundle. The Wii Speak microphone will be available separately for the slightly cringy price of $30.

I’m not saying that you have to buy Animal Crossing: City Folk. Just that if enough of us get together, we can join forces and finally BEAT THIS GAME. Legitimately. Without cheat codes or time traveling. United, we can.

I guess there’s other games headed to your Wii this month. But a quick warning… I’m skipping everything with a “z” in the title. Unfortunately, I can’t apply that rule to everything with “party” in it.

November 6
Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine – For your twin desires of more mid-air gesture-based cooking and chibified Alton Brown renders.

November 11
Facebreaker KO Party – Now Wii owners can experience the game that grenaded EA’s quarterly profits.

Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars – Quiz time! What will be this shopping season’s third-party critically-acclaimed title featuring a brand new IP that will get swallowed up on the racks and ignored by gamers everywhere? Finish this sequence: Okami… Zack & Wiki… ______.

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party – I personally can’t stand this manufactured sub-brand, but the original Raving Rabbids sold a ton, so expect the casualies to pick this up.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels – Will suck.

November 16
Animal Crossing: City Folk – <-- THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE ONE YOU BUY! HELP ME COMPLETE MY FURNITURE THEME.

November 18
Castlevania Judgment – Franchise sidestep or franchise misstep? You be the judge.

Karaoke Revolution Presents American Idol Encore 2 – I am so confused about this title. Is it the second in the Encore series, so it’s actually the third game?

Rock Band: Track Pack Volume 2 – Rock Band 2 doesn’t hit the Wii until December. Has anybody figured out if these songs (and the AC/DC set) will work in RB2?

Sonic Unleashed – 70% Secret Rings, 30% sidescrolling. 0% purchase.
