You make it sound as though GS is in the minority in thinking that.
It's not just GS that thinks Wii has the overrall lowest quality library. It's IGN, it's 1up, it's EVERY review site.
Just like the GC. Some great 1st party games (some of them GOTY's even) but an overrall weak library.
Can you plz elaborateEPaul
Sure. If you want to claim ownage to the "Wii haters" that you won GOTY, then you must accept ownage if they say you have the weakest library.
What's hard to understand. To me the Wii's current library feels much like previous Nintendo console libraries. Strong gems in a sea of drought and mediocrity.-RPGamer-Every console in history has "strong gems in a sea of mediocrity". (Notice I left out drought)

Ok....
...and the response to that will be we also have the strongest one as well.
Balance in the force.
The thing is anyone should accept that already cuz thoses are facts that thoses are GS opinions.
Galaxy is GOTY on GS. Fact.
Wii has the least AA-AAA titles on GS. Fact.
I don't see can anyone don't accept thoses, It is what it is. Fact is fact. We can't deny that.

I see most will accept the good things that is said, but won't accept the negative.
Full of sour grapes in system wars from the lemmings. But I do undserstand them, after X360 was outsold by Wii worldwide within 10 months, did not get GOTY, and the PS3 is slowly catching up (base on release). Lemmings are so piss off that they started blaming Japan. LOL

What do lemmings have to do with this?
What you say is correct but it's the exact same situation the PS2 was in last gen, it had the best games and also had the most shovelware. That is to be expected for any platform with the largest user base. Bigboi500
No, it's in the opposite situation.
THe PS2 had by far the MOST AAA's and AA's, so the crap on the system doesn't matter.
The Wii has all the crapthat comes with popularity (like the PS2 had,) but it has the LEAST AA's and AAA's.
The PS2 had an excellent first year and a fantastic second year. THe Wii's second year is looking to be even worse than the 1st.
Seriously, awful job grasping at straws.
The best selling console has the most shovelware.
Going on your logic the NES, SNES, Playstation, and PS2 has weak libraries also.
So you want to make a rule that Mario rules all this year if the Wii also has Escape from Bug Island?
Ok, I'm cool with that.

True but Nintendo consoles are notorious for the extremes of this. Their first party content marking some of the finest gaming moments ever. In the same breath these gems were surrounded by mediocrity and more importantly for Nintendo's sake droughts. You can't leave out the droughts part, b/c thats a one of the defining things of Nintendo's two previous consoles.

Actually IMO the Wiis 2nd Year is 100 times better then its first Year it has so many 3rd Party games that look fantastic so far, and it also has a few 1st and 2nd Party gems.Full of sour grapes in system wars from the lemmings.

ain't it obvious! Cows will not diss Wii for it's shovelware because they have some few games too. It is only the lemmings who keep barraging with "we have the most AA-AAA", or games >sales. What does Sony and Nintendo have that XBox does not have, both won a console war.

The Wii is going to be missing on on the blockbuster 3rd party titles (GTA, DMC4, RE, etc.)
And without Zelda, Mario, and Metroid out of the picture for next year.... yeesh.

This isn't about grasping straws. My logic is if you going to support Gamespot on their opinion on GOTY, then you should follow their opinion on Wii's library. Now if you feel that SMG is GOTY not because GS say so, then it's totally different. Also, I have you know I think the Wii library is the best this current gen has to offer.
[QUOTE="TheTerribleFish"]That is why the wii is the cheapest console. It works as a secondary console for me. :)Jaysonguy
Could you please explain how the Wii being the cheapest means that Mario Galaxy won game of the year?
Was more directing it to the discussion about having the weakest library of them all.

We got our GOTY last year. sheep were crying about how biased GS was and wanted to leave. I think lemmings stay the same (because the game library is always solid, nothing to worry them) Sheep can be all over the place, because the game library is also all over the place :lol:

I love it when fanboys mostly from lemmings consider Wii as a secondary console. Maybe to you but majority does not. Some perhaps most consider Wii as a hood gaming compliment to PC. and PC =/= Console. Also, since when is a secondary console considered secondary if it outsold you're so called primary.

Gotcha but the Wii gives it's owners the option of either buying the game of the year or not buying some of the rubbish games that are out. No other console can say that.
How is that not a win/win?

Nope.
Galaxy was voted GOTY here.
According the the ratings here, the Wii has the least number of AAA's and AA's.

That's a matter of opinion about the Wii's second year. The PS2 had garbage the first year as well. Face it, SMG is the GOTY here and is the best game of the year period.[QUOTE="King_of_Sorrow"][QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]Seriously, awful job grasping at straws.

I own a wii, its a fun system, but Super Mario never deserves any awards. The whole series is horrible exept maybe melee and brawl. Platformers are games for little 8 year olds, Crysis should have won.Starcraft012694
And you expect people to take your opinion seriously?

You got your GOTY as there is no competition from the two as it was just released. The fact the X360 brought out their powerhouses and still loses tells u something. In case of shovelware, it is a case of rushed games. It takes more than 1 year to create a new game all due to planning not graphics. You're library is solid, true, but the fact that it is still outsold by the Wii in less than 10 months piss a lot of lemmings of to the point that Casey created a Games>Sales vote thread. Gamespot can give the lower scores to Wii, but that does not stop the Wii for overselling the X360.And youblamed Japan for it LOL

Nintendo is notorious for their terrible third party support, but known for their amazing first party titles. It would be nice if they could get some better third party games... Let's be honest though, the best games on the Wii will be Nintendo made games, and they will be few and far between.
If you didn't catch that, there will be some droughts for the Wii. There will be some good games from third party devs of coarse, but overall it will be much weaker than the other two and the majority of the games will be shovelware. Yes the PS2 did have a TON of crappy shovelware games, but they also had an amazing amount of third party games.
The problem with the Wii if you are comparing it to the PS2 is that they will not only have tons of shovelware, but they won't have as many amazing third party games that the PS2 had. They have always relied on their first party games... That Nintendo quality seal isn't for nothing after all.
This is in no way bashing the system, it's just always been this way with Nintendo consoles. Hopefully since they have a huge install base this time around there will be better third party support, but it's doubtful.

I recall being 15, not 8. And platformers can be enjoyed by anybody.

woah 15!!! don't go buying beer on me making me look bad :D lol only joking. Platformers can be enjoyed from anyone, from children to pedophiles doing research to people who remember the good ol' days of SNESomania and the 16 bit era and the like.

I don't understand why you bring up no AAAE, PS3 owners and Wii owners have been getting the crappy end of the stick up until now when it comes to reviews. TP, MP3, Resistance, Uncharted, UT3, and a few others should have been rated AAA at the least... Don't discredit Sigma either...

I understand what you're going for, you're going for taking the good with the bad
The only problem is that you don't have to buy the bad games. People who own a 360 or a PS3 can't buy the game of the year.
All consoles have awful games, if the Wii has more so be it. It's not like anyone is really going to start a thread here that Jenga beats any other games.
