I think the people STILL **** about nintendo around here should seriously grow up. They are a business, They are a very succesful business, they are ALL in it to make money. You think they're targeting casual? well its working for them, I seem to remember the nintendo gamecube with dozens of hardcore titles, where were YOU? Of course they had to change their approach, and they've managed to broaden the industry, and STILL you want more to yourself. Ok Im a hardcore gamer, I like plenty of titles on the wii, if I didnt? I wouldnt care, Id just play other things. Why would I feel betrayed at all, Id like to think SOME people have SOME maturity and just get on with their lives...
Believe it, most of the graphics whores, 2 gen gamers and insecure gamers cant stomach the idea of playing the Wii or its kiddy games :roll:
But w./e, their loss I suppose.
EpiphoneMan2008
It is thier loss! They are such into thier HC games they dont know what its like to play Casual Games anymore..........
My idea of a casual game is Chess/Solitaire ect, games that, you can casually pick up and play, but are still challenging. Please explain to me how trash like Wii Sports, Wii Music, Wii Fit do any of this?
I own a Wii and I don't give a crud about sales. The Wii has been more disappointing to me than it has been great. I mean, some of the games are spectacular, but its just not been what I hoped it would have been. I am sure that I am not the only one to feel that way.

The whole of gaming journalism is thinking pretty much the same thing right now, go watch invisible walls this week on GT and the last half is just laying into the Wii and it's E3 2008 till now performance :(

Dev PROTIP: Don't add motion just to do it, add motion to add something tangible to the experience.

i think wii has it's place, i still think it sucks. Nintendo i think is still awesome though, deep down inside. They are just in a phase right now. (I hope)

All they have to do is come out with another Metroid/Mario/Zelda game that sells BIG and they are back on top again!

No, thats just rehashing. Mario games can be complete in a day or 2, Zelda is a similar case, and metroid wasnt THAT great. Its just not enough anymore.

I disagree. There comes a point when companies (not just Nintendo) need to stop rehashing the same old IPs over and over again. The sooner that happens, the sooner I can get back to enjoying gaming again.

Dev PROTIP: Don't add motion just to do it, add motion to add something tangible to the experience. Good tip, there have been very few games to utilise the original Wiimote properly so I am hoping they can learn to build games around the control scheme instead of making a gamecube or PS" game then doing the equivalent of porting it too Wii controls which the vast majority of Wii games tend to do. I don't think it will happen to anywhere near enough the extent we would like to see but we can still dream i guess....
Mainly because Nintendo's pr is making dumb comments, their E3 was a joke, put too much funding into games like wii fit, have a horrid online service, wii mote is inferior to controllers and KBM for most games, Miss out on multiplats, 3rd party support is bad, filled with shovelware, and their core titles aren't as plentiful as the Gamecube and N64.

I love your sarcasm. Yes, when the Wii doesn't have enough games with blood and/or guns, it's hated here. Don't care about blood or guns, just a large amount of quality core titles which the wii is lacking.

Yes, but the majority of posters can't find that many "hardcore" games on the Wii, you know what I mean.

What are you going on about? People review movies on their blogs too, that doesn't mean movie reviewers serve no function. The credibility of a gaming journalist follows the same line of criteria of a movie reviewer: a large amount of exposure and time spent with the medium and (hopefully) some sort of literary education.

well us system warriors are hardly the target audience of the Wii.
I suppose the could spawn some heft amounts of hate.
I for one always get turned off when I look at the store shelves and find that the most interesting games are SMG and a bunch of ports from last gen.
Edit: SMG does however look awesome.

:lol: @ ''Warriors'' I don't like the Wii itself because of it's lack of power, it feels stuck in the past. But the Wiimote and Nunchuck are a completely different story, it's one of my favourite controller of all time. If the Wii was up-to-date by today's standards then I wouldn't have a thing to complain about the console itself. But dated hardware keeps the Wii 8 years in the past.LOL with 2002 specs it costs 300$ and if Wii had ps3 or 360 specs it would be 600-700$ :lol:
i dont hate nintendo i have a ds but the wii is not even close to what i tought it would be capable of in term of motion sensing technology and wii motion plus comfort my idea , wiimote is a bad dezign !
The hate is real TC. For the most part. Lots of people don't like the Wii. Its a shame to see games like Madworld and Metroid get overshadowed by games like Babiez and Carnival Games. At least the GC got a good amount of third party games unlike the Wii because of how unique it is. Thats why the GC was better.
Everyone's upset by the lack of true hardcore games on the Wii, and the lack of Nintendo showing any improvement in the online department. Your on a gaming forum so you better believe your gonna see a lot of hate toward Nintendo and the Wii.

Most of the games on Wii look very uninteresting and it's basically a last gen system. There isn't anything to look foward to for the Wii, unless you're a new gamer.

How has been Metroid Prime 3 "overshadowed" by Carnival Games and Babiez?
Maybe I used the wrong example but you know what I mean. The mass majority of Wii owners are buying the crappy shovelware games which gives Ninty very little incentive for third party devs or Ninty to make super special awesome games anymore. In their eyes they've hit the jackpot because they figured out how to make money without even trying.
I don't hate nintendo, I dislike the wii because it feels like it's lakcing soemthing when compared to previous nintendo consoles. I love my DS though.
[QUOTE="longprocess"]They have developed more AAA games than any other company in history. The DS is awesome and the Wii offers something different. Do we really need another console like 360 and PS3? 98.5 % of the games on those two consoles are exactly the same multiplats. I thinks its partially that people are upset that the Wii is much more successful than their favorite consoles. Has nothing to do with its success its NOT HD which equals Epic Fail for a current Gen console. I own a Wii so by no means do i hate it. Lack of games that i like and the graphics are god awfull.
