NES, SNES, N64, GC, and Wii --- This is the truth about each system

Games found most often on each system   

NES -- Home of side-scrolling action games

SNES -- Home of RPGs

N64  -- Home of RARE's games

GC -- Home of Zelda (Wind Waker, TP, 4 Swords, Bonus Disc with 4 Zelda games) 

Wii -- Home of Mini-games

Not counting Virtual Console, Wii seems set to be the home of minigames.  Compare that to NES, SNES, N64, GC and I can't help but :lol: at how weak that really is.  Do you really want Wii's main attraction (other than wiimote) to be minigames?

heres something official

your A JOKE :)

I don't want to say that this is a bit too early, but...

How many "minigame compilations" are out on the Wii right now? Is it six? The last time I heard it was six... and the Wii's library is quite varied already...foxhound_fox

6 minigames IN 5 MONTHS!  That is a lot already...

You're just generalizing because the reality is that on all those systems (excluding the NES) the other type of games heavily outweigh the minority. The only reason that I'd agree with you on the NES is because that system was out when platform games were really popular but the majority of SNES games are not RPGs, the majority of N64 games are not made by Rare, the majority of GCN titles have nothing to do with Zelda and the majority of Wii titles have a story and purpose.

OF COURSE! because we all know metroid 3, smash bros brawl, mario galaxy, no more heroes, disaster, and project hammer are mini games

To me, Wii is a secondary console.  It's something I play when I'm bored for 30 minutes.

The minigames are fun but not long-lasting.  Hopefully Nintendo will get some solid titles out before 2008.

I was talking strictly about Nintendo consoles.  But I do agree 360 is home of shooters.  I'd much rather play shooters than a bunch of mini-games.

Technically the most prevalent genre is movie-based platformers... not very impressive but it still proves you wrong

Back to the topic, other than Mario Party 8, what minigame comps are coming in the future? not a lot actually :P

Varied with what?

Most of the VC games are in their cartridge format stored safely in my storage room. What else?

yeah, i'm worried that we'll get too many minigames

hopefully nintendo will release a lot of traditional games for the hardcore gamers

Games of A or better.

Racing games: Need for Speed Carbon

Action games: Trauma Center, Elebits.

Sports games: Wii Sports, Madden 07, SSX Blur, Tiger Woods

Action Adventure games: Twilight Princess, Prince of Persia, Godfather

Platformers: Sonic and the Secret Rings, Super Paper Mario

FPS games: Call of Duty

Party games: Super Monkey Ball, Warioware, Rayman RR

Fighting games: Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (Not A, but the only fighting game so far, so I included it)

So if you call it the home of minigames, you might as well call it the home of sports and action adventure as well.

NES -- Home of side-scrolling action games

 I have to disagree with you.

your flamebait always seems to border right on the line between crap and good.

 this one went south of the border though.

RedLobsterpwns

he never siad that every title to come out for the was going to be a mini game game

hes talking about the ratio of party games to normal games

i dont want 25-30 percent of the library of games to be minigames 

That's funny, last time I checked the Wii only has 4 mini games released and the same amount of Action/Adventure titles!!! This is why research is important in our daily lives!!!

I see no links to those statements.

Sorry, your argument is an empty one without actual proof.

Your assumptions get progressively worse:

NES- I agree with you completely

snes- sure, a bit of a stretch but theres args for that

n64- your right, but ocarina, majora, and sm64 were the juggernauts.  Goldeneye was too, but those are the top 4.  The n64 was the console of the juggernaut games of that gen. n64 versus ps1 was king kong versus fighter planes

GC- n64 was the zelda console.  The gc was about more cooky games like smash brothers and pikmin

wii- first of all its early in the consoles life.  And yes, there are a lot of minigames.  It really looks to me like the reason there are so many of them is because they are tech demos.  Rayman, wiisports, and warioware especially. those are games that tell you to use the wiimote in interesting ways.  Some minigames are great, others are much worse.  Those lessons will show the limitations of the wiimote.  Those lessons will be used to make deeper games.  I still believe that the wii will eventually become the console for shooters for obvious reasons, shooters of all types.  At the very least, its too early to judge
