Does any one else find this worrying?

Has any one else notice a lot of people asking for the wii to get remakes and ports of old games instead of originals?

People keep making threads asking for SE to remake FFX or XII, or asking for some first person shooter from last gen to be ported over with wii controls added on.

Am I the only one here who bought the wii to play new games instead of remakes of 5 year old games with new controls slapped on? Doesn't any one else find it worrying that people are happy to play older ports instead of new original games?

I really want Nintendo to make a new IP. Not Wii Paint, or Wii Diet, or Wii Estudiar Espanol. I want them to make a new amazing game.

I really also desire a game that takes full advantage of the Wii remote, or finds a creative use for it. Sure, it may be limited, however developers with huge resources can definently find something more creative than "shake to slash".

Remember all those ideas people came up with when the controller was annonced? What happened to those?

They were quickly converted to the "E3/NintendoPower/Magazine/Internet/News Announcement/Rumor: Hope its a new zelda or mario" group.

Yeah people should stop living in the past.

However, it IS pretty cool to occasionally play masterpieces from the past.

if they want to play an old game theres the VC. but really i want some awsome orginal games.

some ports are cool tho

I'm also worried about this especially because of zelda, people are saying they want a remake from a link to the past when it would be much better to have a new zelda game

Well some remakes are good as people have said (Okami, godfather), and the thing is, we can imagine a game that already exists with Wii controls and ask for it specifically. It's harder to ask for an original IP or something that doesn't exist.

I'm not too worried about the Wii's situation. As of now, I have plenty of games on my list to keep me busy all the way to Q2 of 2009. And I'm still confident that 2009 (as I've been saying for months now) will be the year when we start seeing the games the Wii was built to run.

sorry man but, the nintendo of today:

new IP = casual game

I agree although some ports are good like RE4, Okami, and Bully.Rocky32189

There is a lot more to the Wii then ports. Look at it's 2008 lineup. One port. Wow, Nintendo sure is making a lot of ports.GamerBoy53

In fact, 3rd parties are worse at doing it than nintendo is.

At least with ported games there a certain quality garentee. Where as new games, you never know.

At this point i'd prefer a remade game from Square on the Wii rather than somthing new. Same for Konami.

So much shovelware.

Not that new things are bad, but the third parties don't seem good with the new.
