My Top 10 Upcoming Wii Games (Now until Q3)

A gamer has got to make himself a list of upcoming games that he is highly anticipating, even if it is subconscious. A hardcore gamer has got to write it out and research these games. Believing myself to be that, I give you, in order of release, My Top 10 Upcoming Wii Games (Now until Q3)!


Title: Ghostbusters: The Video Game
Release Date: June 16, 2009
Publisher: Atari
Genre: Action

I haven't looked into this title too much, but it looks like it is going to be one heck of a game. I really want to zap me some ghosts!! This game is long overdue, yet I am glad it is made for current-gen consoles in 3D, not a 2D version.


Title: Guitar Hero Smash Hits
Release Date: June 16, 2009
Publisher: Activision
Genre: Music Compilation

Exactly what the title says: This game includes all the hits from Guitar Hero I, II, and III, and well as a few from Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, and one from Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. If that wasn't sick enough for you, they have totally updated the note charts and added full band capability. Yes, you can scream shout, and rock out.


Title: The Conduit
Release Date: June 23, 2009
Publisher: SEGA
Genre: Shooter

Dude!! I shouldn't even need to tell you about this one! My guess, as well as many other critic's and reviewer's, is that this game is going to top the charts as not only a bestseller, but as the best Wii shooter to date. I have no doubt about that. High Voltage knows what they are doing.


Title: Overlord: Dark Legend
Release Date: June 23, 2009
Publisher: Codemasters
Genre: Adventure

Ever wanted to command crazed goblins, fight Little Red Riding-Hood, or rampage villages? Now is your chance!! I played part of the previous game on Xbox 360, and it is full action, humor, and everything in-between. Slay them gingerbread men!!


Title: Wii Sports Resort
Release Date: June 26, 2009
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: Sports

I'm not so as much stoked about the game, but more about the Wii Motion+ attachment which comes in every box, similar to how a remote came with Wii Play. This will "fix" what was originally meant to be, and provide greater control and precision to your Wii Remote. Plus, you get to play fetch with your dog, fence with your friends, water skii, and so much more!!


Title: Band Hero
Release Date: Q3 2009
Publisher: Activision
Genre: Music

What is Band Hero? That is a very good question! No, it isn't some lame rip-off og Guitar Hero, since it is published by Activision. So what is Band Hero? It is Guitar Hero, except "family friendly". Details are sparse, but I'm guessing it will chop down on the language, and maybe less metal. Beyond that, I really don't know. Other than it is rated E10+ instead of T.


Title: DJ Hero
Release Date: Q3 2009
Publisher: Activision
Genre: Music

Holy DJ Batman!! Another Hero game?! What's up with these dudes?? Yeah, Activision is really broadening their scopes, and are coming out with DJ Hero, for all those Hip Hop, R&B, Motown and electronica fans out there. So if you have ever looked at Guitar Hero, liked the concept, but just couldn't stand the music style, this one is probably for you. Scratch me some discs, homie!


Title: Guitar Hero 5
Release Date: Q3 2009
Publisher: Activision
Genre: Music

Of course, no Guitar Hero lineup is complete without the main release. Guitar Hero 5 is on its way, and the true sequel to World Tour. Except added features, such as the abilities to drop in and out of songs, change members in your band, instruments, and even difficulties "on the fly"!! This is probably only the tip of the iceberg.

Title: Guitar Hero: Van Halen
Release Date: Q3 2009
Publisher: Activision
Genre: Music

Hopefully you're not tired of the Hero yet, 'cause I got a final one (I should have called list 'Upcoming Heroes' or something). This is the same kind of game as Aerosmith and Metallica were. Except the classic Van Halen songs, along with a few from Queen and Weezer.


Title: Need For Speed Nitro
Release Date: Q3 2009
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Genre: Racing

Finally, something NOT by Activision. I'm really stoked for this one. All I can really say is that it is exclusive for Wii, and looks as though it could be something awesome.


I can honestly not wait for these to all come out, especially The Conduit, Overlord, and pretty much all the Heroes. Keep your eyes peeled, and I would recommend at least renting these, if you don't intend to buy them.
