The main difference is that Guitar Hero consistently works. On the surface, you could easily say that A&tC is Guitar Hero that’s been modified for motion controls and aimed at a much, much younger audience. Your goal? To save a music club by playing alone to the Chipmunks’ butchered song covers.ĭeveloped by Sensory Sweep Studios (who have a decent library of titles under their umbrella), Alvin and the Chipmunks is meant to be a lighthearted rhythm game where kids can enjoy playing pop songs with some cartoon characters. To everyone’s dismay, the Alvin & the Chipmunks Wii game has you playing as the Chipmunk band in a Battle of the Bands.
To be sure, the franchise’s “unique” genre of music instantly ruins every song transmogrified into the high-pitched style. Genre: Rhythm Developer: Sensory Sweet Studios Release Year: 2007Įven on the surface, Alvin & the Chipmunks annoys pretty much anyone over the age of 6. With titles like MarioParty and WarioWare existing, there is no reason to stoop down to the level of Monkey Mischief. Mario Party has a primary focus with its virtual board game, and the mini-games simply punctuate the action and give opportunities for players to change their fortunes. Monkey Mischief! Party Time is just a slew of sometimes confusing and downright difficult to complete mini-games (mainly because the controls are terrible) - kind of like WarioWare if you took out the absurdist humor and put blocky graphics in its place. One of the primary reasons for the game’s inclusion on this list of worst Wii games is its lack of an objective. It sounds like it could be fun, right? Wrong. The game itself consists of the player and up to three friends running riot and causing mayhem in a zoo, playing various animal-themed mini-games to earn the highest score and become the outright winner. How would we describe this game in just a few words? To put it politely, Monkey Mischief! Party Time is an absolute dumpster fire that even PETA would be reluctant to put out. Say hello to Monkey Mischief! Party Time, a Mario Party wannabe published by Activision. Next on our list of the worst Nintendo Wii games? Genre: Party Developer: Ivolgamus Release Year: 2008 Why you would choose to buy this game over the immensely better Mario Kart Wii is anyone’s guess. M&Ms Kart Racing is certainly less offensive than some of the other worst Wii games on this list, but the track design is pretty dire, and the gameplay uninspired (to say the least). However, there are a handful of unlockable vehicles that you can attain by collecting chocolate coins during the races. That said, character selection has literally zero bearing on anything related to gameplay. This kart racing game came out in December 2007 and features the four most “well-known” M&Ms - Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue. That approach is understandable, but M&Ms? That leaves you scratching your head rather than reaching for a controller. Various companies like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon come along, slap their trademarked characters on a fighting or racing game, and hope that children will see their favorite animated faces on a product and pester their parents to buy it. The one place you shouldn’t put M&Ms? Behind the wheel of a vehicle.Ī few games in this vein debut every so often. Who doesn’t love M&Ms? You know - those delicious chocolately morsels that melt in your mouth… ahhh, heaven. Genre: Racing Developer: Calaris Studios Release Year: 2007 Starting at number 10, let’s work out way down to the worst Wii game ever made. May the worst Wii games finally lay in rest and never, ever return. This article is my final tribute to those times gone by. I’m happy to report that those dark days are gone! Nintendo has won me back over with the Switch, and I rarely think about those awful Wii games anymore.
And Nintendo was only too happy to take its share of the sales and look the other way.
Month after painful month, terrible new titles hit the shelves of Toys ‘R Us, only to end up in the bargain bin a few weeks later. As long as it had motion controls, these developers figured, gameplay didn’t matter. The Wii’s motion gimmick opened the floodgates for novice developers to enter the industry and make substandard products. What made me so angry at Nintendo? It was all due to the terrible titles that cluttered their platform, AKA the worst Wii games. Despite selling over 100 million units in its lifetime, it’s the console that nearly made me break up with Nintendo… for good. I don’t mean to get personal, but I’ve got a few quarrels with the Nintendo Wii.
