New Game Informer Shows Wii Shovelware

Anyone else with the June issue of Game Informer check out the 2 page spread on pages 18-19 entitled

" Nintendo's Software Problem " documented written proof of all the shovelware being put out on the Wii and according to page 19's pie charts the Wii is way in the lead with it's amount of shovelware with a whopping 40% of it's games basically worthless.

Even ahead of Microsoft who's had their system on the market an entire year longer then the Wii but 360 only coming in with a mere 25% of shovelware and PS3 has the least with 17%.

Now granted this is accumulated by total game count which is 360 - 368 games to date, Wii - 182 games to date and PS3 150 games to date.

So taking into account that Microsoft has 186 more games then the Wii but only has 25% shovelware to the Wii's 40%, well c'mon you wii fanboys do the math , because that's pathetic.

I thought Nintendo only cared about quality not quantity...wheres the quality ?

You dont have to buy those games. Plus, those games dont sell, so who cares.

360's 368 games to PS3's 150.............just noticed that little figure.

Sony really cares about their customers......:roll:

What do you expect? Seriously, a year headstart and all :|

that prettu much sums it up. just buy good games and you'll be fine.

Not news, of course the Wii has the worst games of the systems. However, it's games like Zelda TP, an dSSBB, Mario Galaxy, virtual console, and playing with the family that makes me forget about all of those freakin bad games.

SSBB is one of the greatest games ever

So basically 360 has 90 something shovelware titles, and Wii has 72...

If anything this is just showing that Wii isn't the only console with shovelware, and considering it's the easiest to make games for, has sold the most, and has a larger majority of idiot game buying parents, it's obvious why it has "more"

You dont have to buy those games. Plus, those games dont sell, so who cares.

Oh no you don't get off the hook that easy, because Nintendo fanboys excuses last gen when Sony's PS2 dominated the gaming market with most and best games on the market aand gamecube was withering away with only Resident Evil 4 as their only non 1st party hit title, all Nintendo boys were doing was coming in here and preaching how Nintendo just cares about quality not quantity.

So now, here it is in black and white, you guy's are enjoying your Wii sales lead but have the most shovelware of any system on the market, so again i ask WHAT HAPPENED TO NINTENDO'S QUALITY INSTEAD OF QUANTITY THEORY ?

It's not a issue of not buying them or whether they don't sell.

The Point is: These Shovelware ARE ON the Wii. They FILL UP the Wii section at Retailers. And Developers are STILL MAKING them. Which gives Wii Core Owners a very very very very very very very very very very very very LIMITED option, if they were interested in AA-AAA-AAAE games.

How does it limit your options? Say there are 100 different Wii games on the shelf, and 40 of them are shovelware (40%).....there's still 60 quality games to choose from. You act as if the space taken by shovelware will always be taken up by shovelware. They do put other games on the shelf ya know. :?

Shovelware doesn't mean casual games.

Carnival Games was pretty good for a party game.

it changed. remember when people were complaining that Nintendo was too strict on 3rd party devs?

well, here you go. this is what people wanted, now they got it.

The problem isn't the most worst.

The problem is it has the LEAST best games.

Thats far more troubling.

Yeah, because developers got an extra year to build upon the X360 and could let games go faster :|

All? Ok so 360 had no games at all come out in '05-'06?

And why am I the only person whos noticed what I did, this thread actualls shows that "Teh shovelware is on teh Wii-Wii!!!" is a stupid argument for a Lemming to make when their console has more shovelware games, and as I said, that years difference shouldn't make much difference, since the Wii is a lot easier to develop for, and people are about ten times more likely to buy it on Wii than 360.

the most popular system gets the most shovelware

and still no one is forcing you to buy them. if you have such a problem with shovel ware, buy good games (and yes, there are some AAAE)

Honest question here:

Who cares?

Umm no, that wasn't the case with the PS2, the PS2 had much more AAA and hit titles than shovelware, gamecube on the other hand had more shovelware than hits, much like it's Wii successor only difference this time is people are actually buying the Wii console and being stuck with the worst game library of this gen, infact if they didn't have first party titles they'd have almost no hit titles at all.

48. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Wii Exclusive

90%
August/Shooter
Nintendo/Retro Studios
Brett Elston (GamesRadar): "This is the final Prime game, however, and it's easily the best, with a formula that's been tweaked and pruned to its most perfect point. Now please do something new before we all get tired of it."

the devs put shovelware on Wii to sell and make profit which is used to make games like Bioshock, rainbow six on nex gen systems.

SO QUIT YOUR WHINGING!!!

40% of 182 = 72.8
25% of 368 = 92

The 360 still has more shovelware :P

In any-case, other posters are right, the more popular the console, the more crazy bad shovelware titles are on it. The ps2 showed us that.
