The BIG Wii Voting Thread, Voting Wii-kly: Thanks For Voting!

As I expected I should probably get Rhythm Paradise. Metalica making the list though? Whaaatttt? I hate most guitar hero songs but that's a whole game I wouldn't find one choon in
You know what was robbed though, DJ Hero 2

It's seen as the best Guitar Hero in terms of challenge and gameplay - but totally understandable if you think the songs are naff.

I've never touched Rhythm Paradise, reckon I ought to then, eh?

I'm very interested to hear Stu's speech.

Really surprised none of the DJ Hero games made the top 5 as I said in my votes they are easily the best out of all the Hero series.

I'm sure the likes of just dance & wii music are good if ye are into that sort of thing but people actually put them into their top 5? Crazy!

It's less of a speech and more of a:

Am I the only one who thought Tomena Sanner worthy of a vote? It makes Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise look sensible. Makes. It. Look. SENSIBLE.

As I suspected though, there was no other winner for me this week. Bravo to Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise! Had I played the Wii version, I'd have voted for Green Day Rock Band this week, but that still stands as one of my most-played PS3 games (screw the guitar, the vocal career mode is where it's at).

Oh, and whoever's dad misheard the Love Rap lines: I actually laughed out loud at that comment.

Glad to see that Rhythm Heaven got the win it deserved! Amazing how much fun you can have with just two buttons - but the choons were so cheesy.

Good to see Wii Music featuring too - I was the only one that could play it out of all my friends so it's a relief to know that there are other true musos out there.

I've never heard of Tomena Sanner...

It's an inexpensive WiiWare game. Give it a look:

Having seen it in action, I question its presence in rhythm. Maybe the dance party has rhythm elements, but the main game seems to have little to do with the music. Maybe more "other"?

It's all about timed presses, which indicates rhythm to me. Every action revolves around the' A' button.

I just never considered it, otherwise it would have made my list.

Wii Music really was enjoyable, you just have to make sure you consider it for what it is, I was definitely quite proud of my Nintendo rendition of Love Lockdown (Mii speak sounds pretty similar to Kanye West using autotune anyway).

Looks a bit like Runner, so it's a platformer

Go to hell.

I forgot about Wii Music, truth be told. I didn't dislike it as such, I just thought it was a bit too aimless. Maybe that was the point?

Tomena Sanner is quality. I'd have said it were a platformer myself, but I can see how others would call it a rhythm game.

After perusing my Wii collection and a genre list for any forgotten games, it seems as if I've nothing to vote for this week.

Looking at the allowed titles, I should be able to have three games in my list this week. Though I'm not sure that Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City really deserves a vote.

Okay, Rabbids Go Home: adventure, y/n? Wikipedia says Y, one of our forumites says N!

It's an odd one, adventure probably fits it best though.

Good question. I hadn't thought about it in a long time, despite thinking it was really good. Ehh...platformer with trolley? Comedy adventure? No objection to either, truth be told.

Adventure for me!

Strategy and Other week, you say? I'll take a look. Is Bomberman Blast in the "Other" category?

Probably adventure then. Sorry [redacted]. And given that Bomberman didn't get any votes last week, I'm happy to shove it in here!

I decided that I'd start no more aggro after several rubbish arguments about stuff like Monkey Ball, but...

Controversial:
Endless Ocean: Had no peril whatsoever. Is it an adventure game despite that?

...Endless Ocean puts more of an emphasis on exploration than arguably any other Wii game. As in Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania and the rest, progress is made through thorough investigation of the gamespace to unlock more. Simply put, if Endless Ocean isn't an adventure game, then what is?

I'd certainly say that Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep is an adventure game too. The clue for that, my friends, is in the name.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. There's never a real sense of peril in a lot of point-and-click games, but they are adventurey titles at their core.

Most point-and-click games have gone into puzzle! But if the public thinks EO should be adventure, I can do that. (EO2 was always in adventure.). Limits my choices for this week though.

EDIT: Updated the OP list of "ins" and "outs".

A massive four votes so far. Just posting a reminder so people don't forget to vote this wee (ZJ ).

Sir, I have not forgotten - it's just that I'm wrestling with the fact that I'll probably have to vote for My Pokémon Ranch.
