Wii Third Party Games Can Be Million Sellers Too

I've often been privy to conversations where people swear that the only good Wii game is a first party Nintendo game. While this might be true for some, there are plenty of other folks out there who enjoy a decent 3rd party game although admittedly the really good ones are few and far between.

The Video Game Blog has posted an interesting list of the third party Wii games that have sold over a million copies. Some of them are pretty obvious like Resident Evil 4 (1.6 million) and Guitar Hero III (1.8 million) while others were definitely a surprise (at least to me) like Carnival Games (1.2 million) and the top seller of all, Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games (3.4 million). There are seven games total on the list including three that are getting pretty close to a million like RE: Umbrella Chronicles (900k) and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (900k).

While all the games on the list may not be your cup of tea, it certainly is interesting to see what sells on the little white console. You can check out the entire list at That Videogame Blog.

Latest by Gagamus: It means that they need better taste in first person shooters. It also means that they're missing out on superior first person shooters, most of which are on the pc. more »

Umbrella Chronicles Files Revealed

You know all those files, notes and missives you run across in the Resident Evil games? The ones no one ever reads except for the few obsessives who like me, enjoy reading? Well, a fellow obsessive has managed to document all one hundred and nine files from the upcoming Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. So if you're interested in the backstory, but don't want to stop your zombie massacre long enough to read them in-game, treat yourself to some weekend reading and check them all out at Resident Evil Horror. While you're there, take some time to click around as RE Horror has managed to put together quite an extensive collection of RE history, time lines and stories. Good weekend reading over coffee.

[Thanks, John]

Latest by Random J: I don't think the Wii remote will make this game much better in my opinion. But it's worth a purchase for those who missed out on the GameCube and PS2 versions. I knocked this up - a mock of the UK boxart. I wonder how much like it the real more »

Clip: Umbrella Chronicles Gameplay Video

Finally, some gameplay from Umbrella Chronicles. It's great to see the old tried and true mansion making a comeback, although it seems to be much more zombie infested than the last visit. The "light gun" aspect of the game actually intrigues me, although I know some people would rather see it go the way of Duck Hunt. I've always been a fan of rail shooters like House of the Dead and I'm also a terrible aim with a regular controller, so the ability to actually point and aim is much more my speed. Besides, I'm always up for a trip down a zombie infested memory lane. Flynn De Marco More »

New Umbrella Chronicles Video Available

Even though the Shaun of the Dead kids are over their killing zombies phase, and Danny Boyle is moving into space in lieu of directing the next 28 Days Later film, there's still the matter of officially completely saturating the zombie market by finally being able to kill them on the Wii. Campcom has a new quick and dirty clip over at their site which you can watch here by clicking on the second button from the left. Blink and you'll miss the whole thing. Kim Phu More »

Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles Screens

Jeaux France has posted a ton of screens from the Wii versions of Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil 4. if you've already played RE4 on another platform, some of these screens will be old hat for you, but the Umbrella Chronicles screens should provide you with something interesting to pass the time. RE4 was definitely the best title in the series so far and I'm hoping that Umbrella Chronicles will be able to capture that same flavor when it hits the shelves later this year. More »

Latest by quen: @scarecrow: did you miss all the previous stories on this? It's a rail shooter. :( Hopefully it'll be good anyway - and hopefully if it sells well we'll get more 'real' RE games (sidestories but with proper RE gameplay) on the Wii. more »
