[QUOTE="hongkingkong"] to all: yes its pretty clear from Nintendo's conference at e3 that their main objective is to shove peripherals down casuals throats like they got a cookie for each one they sell. While their success grows allong with their wallets, Nintendo fail at delivering the games aimed at us, the "hardcore" market. Apparently Mario is hardcore now if he is on his own and not holding a tennis racket, inside a kart or accompanied by the other classic nintendo characters of yesteryear.
We are not their perogative anymore, they have sold out, the zelda/metroid/mario team are working on "wii music 2: casual sports fun" and other such titles that won't interest our market. But its time to move on and accept Nintendo doesn't need you, 3rd parties will not numb the pain, its over, the wii is now dead meat for the casual vultures to pick at. Move on.

No
The Wii is not dead meat for casuals, E3 is dead meat for casuals.
I could pick apart your arguement, but it would most definatly be a lost cause. I will just ask you to be more open minded and you will in turn become a more balanced,skilled, and happier gamer.
In short you have no arguement. I have played or owned every system this gen, i have only not owned a wii because of all the games i have played and seen nothing appeals to my refined taste as a hardcore gamer. It might be fine for you to accept a mediocre console with a gimmicky controller that wore off on me after an hour, with rehashed games and illogical controls that frustrate rather than innovat, games that last 5 minutes in the majority and end up collecting dust quicker than a vaccum cleaner- but all these things aren't ok for me.
It might be fine when you are drunk at a party and in the late hours of the night the wii in the corner of the room might be more interesting than sitting flat on your butt playing card games and cleaning up sick, but other than this i believe wii has had its 15 minutes and now its time to let it die along with it's last gen hardware.
