Two Games I Might Buy A Wii For

 I don't own a Wii, but I do have a PS3 and an XBox 360.  The reason why I don't own a Wii is because Nintendo has had a history of neglecting the hardcore gamer and tends to focus their efforts toward the casual gamer and family demographic.  Their lineup for this holiday season is no exception.  There are two titles, however, that look like they may be worth investing in a Wii this Christmas.

First up is Michael Jackson: The Experience.  It's a dancing game(which automatically puts it in the "will probably be lame" stack), that has you move along with Michael on screen.  So far, Ubisoft, the game's developer, has announced ten original MJ tracks that will be featured in the game, including Smooth Criminal and Billie Jean.




Secondly, is Epic Mickey, a new game from Disney featuring Mickey Mouse.  The internet has been blowing up over this game for close to a year.  It's a Wii exclusive, and features an artistic style the likes of which have not been seen in a video game.  It's clean, fluid, and at times, dark.  Looks like it is geared more toward true gamers and not so much for the little kids.  It comes out November 30.




Add to that the release of Rock Band 3 and DJ Hero 2, and I'm going to have a laundry list of games and systems to give to Santa this year.  Now if I can just be a good boy until Christmas.
