Buy/Rent/Ignore - April '08 - Mario Kart Wii Edition

Hey folks. I'm later than I should be because my NeoGAF source dropped the ball. All these release dates are from Amazon; if I am missing anything, please tell me.

code

04/08/08	Baroque				Atlus USA
04/08/08	MiniCopter: Adventure Flight	Aksys Games
04/14/08	Dream Pinball 3D		Southpeak
04/15/08	Okami				Capcom
04/15/08	Emergency Mayhem		Codemasters
04/21/08	Battle of the Bands		THQ
04/22/08	Wild Earth: African Safari	Majesco
04/22/08	Target Terror			Konami
04/27/08	Mario Kart Wii			Nintendo
04/29/08	Castle of Shikigami III		Aksys Games

For me:
Buy:
Okami
Mario Kart Wii
Castle of Shikigami III

Rent:
Baroque
Battle of the Bands

Ignore:
Everything Else

It's an okay month. There's a bunch of interesting games; for the love of God, Mario Kart Wii isn't the only quality release on this list. I mean, in fact, Okami just might well be the best game you've never played.

Discuss.

Don't even bother renting Baroque, it's terrible.

I'm buying Mario Kart and renting Okami.

re: Buy/Rent/Ignore - April '08 - Mario Kart Wii Edition

I'm picking up Okami when I get some spare time, probably the second week of May. I still want to see a few more reviews of Baroque before I decide whether to try it or not, and will most likely ignore the rest.

re: Buy/Rent/Ignore - April '08 - Mario Kart Wii Edition

I guess I'll just be picking up mario kart... I already beat Okami like 7 times on PS2 and I really don't feel the need to do it with motion sensor -.-

re: Buy/Rent/Ignore - April '08 - Mario Kart Wii Edition

I'll be buying Mario Kart Wii for sure. I've already taken the day off from work so I can buy it, much like I did with Brawl.

Renting... hmmm, probably just Okami. Okami seems like a game I would like to buy, but I'll rent it first. It looks great, I remember seeing it when it came out for the PS2 originally; graphics are amazing. I hear it has Zelda-like gameplay, so if it plays anything like Legend of Zelda games, I'll be buying it. I may also rent Baroque, but I'm not too sure.

Ignore everything else. Like Andrew, I don't buy many Wii games... not anymore at least.
