I have seen little to no hype on NSMBW, Wii's biggest game this year. Little Kings Story which is IMO one of the best games on the system isn't talked about on doesn't get disscussed on podcats. You get the idea, right? Is it just me or is it just the fact that there's not a lot of good games coming out for it right now?

It's not that there hasn't been good games coming out for the Wii, but none of them are the truly mass-market games like Halo, GTA, CoD, etc.

If a website wants hits they're going to cover the most popular games. Not games like Little King's Story.

I mean just look at Gamespot. Halo 3: ODST got it's review posted the day of release, and lots of us are still wondering where our Mario and Luigi 3 review is.

People wouldn't overlook it if they had more reasons to look at it in the first place.

Think about the type of games the Wii excels in.
Now think about the type of people post on game forums.
Now think about the type of games reviewers like.
Put it together, its not a hard concept.

It certainly deserves a bit more attention than it's getting.

Actually, I am thinking of getting a Wii now that they have some cool looking horror games coming out for it. I'm a sucker for Survival Horror.

Yes it's frequently overlooked or flatout ignored by GameSpot.

I wouldn't say it's a big Wii game at all, though, and Crossbow Training, just no.

It's okay, but saying it's an important Wii title is messed up.

Three great games, four decent ones and Link's Crossbow training?! You'll have to give people more reasons than that.

That question should be turned into a statement. The Wii is one of the most over-looked consoles in history. As far as major consoles go. Quite a shame really.

The hate was more for the poorly designed peripheral it was attached too. I agree, Crossbow Training is fun, and I'm glad I picked it up for $3 US. Well worth it. :)

Wii gets overlooked on SW, surely, but not in other places.
