I have to disagree somewhat. The Wii released with Wii Sports which, despite being more a collection of mini-games, was definitely an "Oh my god I have to play this!" game.
When everyone you know, including your 85 year-old grandfather, is getting in on the bowling/tennis action you know Nintendo did something right.
- ebbv 13y agoI never said the Wii didn't release with an "Oh my god.. " game. I said the Game Cube didn't. We don't disagree. The N64, SNES and NES all released with "Oh my god.. " games as well.
- tankbot 13y agoAh my mistake. The only excuse I can offer is it was late in the day and my eyes were tired.
- Xixi 13y agoSuper Mario Galaxy was Wii "Oh my god I have to play this!" game, at least as far as gamers go. Though technically it was announced at the same time as the Wii, but not available at launch.
- slantyyz 13y agoWhile I'm sure Super Mario Galaxy is an excellent game, Wii Sports was more than "Oh my god I have to play this!", it was actually "Oh my god, I have to play this and I'm going to buy that system to do it". Wii Sports is probably one of the most important bundled games in console history. It was a killer app with system-selling universal appeal reaching well beyond just gamers.
