They just got a AA from ign for no more heroes 2 when last time they gave an A while gamespot gave a AAA (which is good news for them), and now tatsunoko vs capcom got a AAA which is something they rarely get to see, so why aren't they freaking out?

Too busy playing SH:SM to care.

But seriously, maybe cause there's already great games on the Wii. Shocking I know. Or maybe wii owners aren't as hell-bent proving their console is superior by posting many topics that a recent game got a review in the 90/100 scale. Maybe it's because they're waiting for the Gamespot review to claim ownage cause no one reads/cares about IGN anyway :P It's 2010, one of the best years for gamers by far. Can't we just enjoy all the quality titles comming out this year? I suppose we all could if we could afford them all >_>

People who own a wii don't play fighting games. Except for smash brothers of course, but its a very different form of the genre.

Even though the Wii's player base seems to portray nothing but kids and fat women playing Wii Fit/Jillian Michaels on their balance boards, I think they are more civil on message boards than lemmings and even cows. Maybe that's why they don't go around claiming OMFG WII IS CONSOLE KING for a few reasons. One, because many games were public failures (Conduit and RE:DC come to mind). Two, they figured people wern't gonna listen that they should play the game and not go based off reviews, which is why I used Conduit and RE:DC as examples to reason one. Very fun games when you actually sat down and played them. Can't forget Muramasa too, awesomesauce right there. Hell I found The Conduit a more quality title than MW2. (There goes any credibility I have in my opinions amirite?)

Do you really think Sheep would even bother? Think about it: Any game that comes out and scores well will simply be downplayed as, Wii has lower standards or would have been better on PS3/360. Why even bother gloating?

That's a Bold Statement my Friend. But honestly High Voltage did a GREAT Job on the Graphics on the Game.

But that goes to show you, Graphics don't always make the game.

That game was pretty aweful. The technical grapics were amazing...but thats it

On Topic. I doubt it will get AAA because everyone is saying this. Remember how the boards filled with Uncharted 2 will getGOTY threads.

Also, if it des get AAA, would that make the last wii AAA, No More Heros 1?

Seen plenty of threads on those scores already, but like most have said it's IGN. I'm sure if one of those games score AAA here they'll gladly rub it in Cows/Lemmings/Hermits faces.

I think most nintendo owners dont really come on message boards.I mean look at how many wiis are out there compared to the 360 and ps3.The wii has older people,younger people and a small margin of the hardcore market and when u put those groups togather thats a lot of people but the majority of them arent coming online to trash other consoles on some forum.I kindeve look at it like the jay leno ,conan battle.While conan is the younger hipper and in my opinion even funnier guy he couldnt get the ratings that leno got during that time slot.Conan has a large group of people coming out in force to defend him while leno has next to none,so why is that.Leno has a lot of fans that are probably older and middle aged that dont really get on the net or stand in the rain to protest for him,they just watch him.I know thats an odd comparison but at the same time its kindeve similar.My point is not everybody that owns a console comes online to talk about it,or defend it.Personally im not the biggest wii fan,in fact the first time ive played my wii in over a year was when super mario bros. wii came out.I guess if i had to say what my favorite console is id have to say the 360 even though i own all three and like all three.

Because, as we're on Gamespot forums, we mainly focus on Gamespot scores.

Scores from other sites are still important, but the main site is Gamespot on these forums.

The answer is rather simple:

We're too busy playing these great games to care about making a big deal about them to other people.

Meanwhile PS3 and 360 fanboys constantly feel the need to justify their purchase to anyone and everyone because they are constantly insecure about themselves and their console.

So in short, Nintendo fans play to have fun and don't care what others think. Sony and Microsoft fans are insecure and constantly seek the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves.

Yes, all of you were just owned.

Boosh.

They were freaking out. I read like 5 threads for Tatsunoko and 5 for No more Heroes 2. But IGN is a garbage site with garbae reviewers so its not like their word means anything anyway.

Yeah but so is GameSpot, at least it has good forums.

Because most "Sheep" don't care about scores.

I like more games that are rated 7.5's than the 10's from this generation...

There were a few threads before about how the Wii is on a roll,how it's shining,or something like that. In the System Wars Meta-game,IGN scores don't matter,though.
