RUMOR: New ‘Colosseum’ style Wii Game

by

At CES a Nintendo accessory maker representative spilled the beans on a new Wii game that has yet to be announced by Nintendo.  Take what he said with a grain of salt though:

  • Single player storyline ala ‘Gale of Darkness’
  • Colosseum battling like ‘Battle Revolution’
  • Possible Black/White connectivity

Considering the Wii has NOT been home to a single player storyline type of Pokemon game it should be interesting if this turns out to be true.  Thanks Liam for tipping us off!  Original story can be found over at Gaming Update.

  3. Gale of Darkness was a step in the right direction in terms of a 3D story driven game. However, I wouldn’t be opposed to returning to Orre about 5-10 years later, where the land is now more lush and Pokemon have returned in a wild capacity, as was starting to happen in Gale of Darkness. It was always something I want to see happen, but unless Genius Sonority is involved, I don’t see a seperate team wanting to do that, instead making their own region to explore.

    Still….its just a rumor.

  4. I’m still waiting for a game exactly like the pokemon handhelds to hit the console’s, GoD was good but you were severely limited in the pokemon you could catch, I want to be able to run in a patch of grass in full 3-D and battle any pokemon, not a pre-set this is the only one here type of poke

    • People always want main games on a home console. I don’t. They need to stay on their platform. Home consoles need to do something else with their power. The strength of pokemon is that you can take it wherever you go and can trade/battle whenever you want. There is no fun if you cannot play with friends and see/comment on what they are doing.
      I do hope for some good story driven freedom, but not like the main games.
      And besides, you only have wait two years approx. and than you can play full 3D battles in 3D on your 3DS.

      • Nah man. Pokemon needs to start going to the wii platform. Maybee make the first two games on the ds and the third one on the wii. EX) Black and White on ds, “grey” on the wii.

          • I agree. It’d be a terrible choice for Nintendo. Pokemon games are primarily seen as handheld games in the first place. Not seeing a third title released on the DS/3DS would be the oddest thing. They should keep spin-off games for the Wii, not main titles.

          • Why would it ruin pokemon? Think of it this way. Im pretty sure that some of you have played Zelda, twilight princess right? Change link into a trainer, the world into a pokemon region, and the enemies that roam around the world into pokemon. Hide pokemon like aipom or starly into trees, others in tall grass, and water pokemon surfing around or under water. Make it 3d and you got a beast pokemon game. (Option to customize trainers too)

  7. Oh my Arceus, yes! I hope this is true. I hope this takes place in Orre. And more importantly, I hope Miror B. appears, with a Baffuron!

  9. Please have more exclusive moves for pokemon like in XD. And please have a badass shadow pokemon like Lugia. Mewtwo maybe?

  10. “Colloseum battling like ‘Battle Revolution'”… Please God, NO. Colloseum battling like POKEMON STADIUM would be awesome, but PBR failed so hard. They need to reinstate the rental system and create a better transfer system, because the battle pass crap we got in PBR was, well… crap. They need to get rid of all the stupid gimmicks PBR brought, like the roulette game, and go back to the Pokemon Stadium format.

    A new storyline game should be awesome, though.

  15. This all would be cool. And if they do bring back the shadow Pokemon, it better not be some Darkrai gimmick cuz he’s shadow enough ha.

  17. That is amazing. XD and Colo were my favorite GCN games. Period. Bout time Genius Sorority realize that PBR was only good for WiFi. And to be honest, I never made is past the 3rd Colosseum. Never wanted to.

    • ahh… pyrite town, the best pkmn town ever! Also, you need a female partner, not to tell you (shadow ??? appears) “Oh my god! It’s a shadow Pokemon!” but to have the knock-em-dead “is she your girlfriend?” jokes. Ahh… I still remember ???’s grandma in coliseum’s joke. I nearly died.

  23. Dear God, I hope this is true. I was sooo disappointed when I got Battle Revolution and there wasn’t a story to it (I was also disappointed when the Pokemon’s attacks didn’t effect the landscape like Nintendo Power screenshots showed but that wasn’t my primary concern.) but NOW MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED (HOPEFULLY). HAIL ARCEUS @3@

  24. Wait what if the main pokemon is Genosect?! That could be how you get him. And don’t say it can’t be Genosect because it is an event pokemon because Lugia was one at the time of XD.
