The Wii dosen't like you, Get used to it

The Wii dosen't like me either, let me explain.

I am a 16-30 year old male self professed nerd with a soild grounding in gaming scince the days the Amigia. Im guessing you are something similar seing as how you are on a gaming forum. We are the traditional Gamer and the nintendo wii seems to be geared to upset us.

The nature of the wii is such that we are not its target audince anymore. The most striking thing about this christmas is how many people ive heard are getting a Wii, even more puzzling is the people who are getting one. Most of the people who have said "i want i wii" are "ive got a wii" were girls, non gaming girls of ages roughly 10-15 or non gaming adults who bought them for their families. This explains a great deal, these are the people the wii is meant for. These are the legandary 'casual gamer'.

The wii has become a gadget, an expensive thing to played at christmas and then forgotten about most of the rest of the year, like bop-it or a singing fish.

The Games

This new audience, fankly, wouldn't know a great game if it pimp-slaped them square in the face. They are the gaming illitarate, black maluable sacks of money to nintendo. Think back to the days when you started gaming, i know i bought a painful amount of trerrible games that i thought were awesome at the sime simply because i didn't know any thing else exsisted.

Nintendo have been able to get away with some pretty staggering things due to this, they have been able top get away with Animal Crossing city folk, a shameful cash-in on the original which bears more resembelance to a port. They have done this becuase many of the people this new version is aimed at never played the original so making a totally new and oroginal game game wound't really make much sense.They no longer NEED to make good games, they have a captive new audince and have statred to work on such things as Wii music or wii sports resort.

As of next year Nintendo will start re-releasing GameCube games for the wii with tacked on waggle at nearly full price. This in my veiw is almost unforgiveable, nevermid the fact that the Wii is BC, it just shows their compleat abandonment of those who supported them last genration. insted of making new games they will churn out the same game again for those who weren't there the first time. Well i was there! and i bet that you were too.

The On-Line

As a console that touts its 'innovartion' the wii has make some pretty big staggering steps sideways. Firstly in the on-line department, the gamecube had no online. people laught at the poor gamecube. And rightly so, online multoplayer is one of the biggest steps the original x-box took. The wii is almost no better, having an amount of online game i can count on one hand and those infernal freind codes! *grrr* Compare this to an intergrated online community like LIVE for instance and you can see why, as a gamer, i am mad.

For nintendo to ignore this trend and not be punised it needed to chuck the gamer out of the window, and replace him with joe the casual. Nintendos new audince are not are serious about their games as we are, they are not particularly tech-savy so online would just be a confusing indulgence on nintendos part. I know im ranting like a nintendo jilted me but they kind of did. I liked the gamecube, despite its flaws it showed promise and nintendo could have bulit a great online comunity with its successor. insted they cellotaped on some waggle and called it a wii.

Graphics

they matter, no matter what anyone says they do. The best thing about this gen in terms of the PC/360 and PS3 has been cinematic gaming. Games that are complelling, beautyful looking, have immersive sound and stories. Games that are almost equivelant to movies in their tone, polish, production values and Visual prowess. In my veiw this all stared back in 2004 when HL2 gave us a taste of this new and exiting development that the wi has yet to show any hint of.

This may be to due with the fact that the wii is, as stated above, not meant to do this. The wii is a gadget, it makes noised and spews out bright colours, the adverage wii gamer dosen't want to care about all of that, they don't care if all of their games have the depth of a spoon.

We all got left behind...

Nintendo was right to do this. It was losing last gen, it needed a new audience. A appluad their sucess but don't expect me to like their console. I know too much about games and have been gaming for to long for my own good to enjoy the wii, its not meant for you and its not meant for me but don't expect me not to be mad about that.

which really makes me mad is that nintendo have the zelda franchise, and i want to play twilight princess so bad but im not willing to buy a wii just for one game.

as for the gamecube it was a ball of disappointment. i want a realistic zelda but got wind waker. i wanted a sequal to wwf no mercy but thq gave us some other smackdown **** i wanted perfect dark and banjo koozie but then rare got bought out. i was a kid at the time, so yeah i wanted a 3d pokemon adventure game and got that stadium crap again.

The Wii likes me. :oops:

Bu...Bu... I THOUGHT MY WII LOVED ME :cry:

I thought Wind Waker was the best Zelda game ever made.Willy105

That would be because it is.

Yeah I can understand why you might not like Wii but I know I still have a hefty backlog of Wii games I still have to play through.RABicle

Your opinion is duly noted, and you make some good points, but I consider myself a gamer and I love my Wii. Plenty of good games to play and if I'm looking for something different, I'll get out my PSP.jimkabrhel

I didn't read it, but I completely agree. Nintendo shot themselves in the foot, and completely screwed their hardcore fans. It's not even in the same demographic as PS3, 360, and PC.FalcoLX

[QUOTE="thegoldenpoo"][QUOTE="Willy105"] But here's the problem. AA for Wii was not a re-hash, and Wii Music wasn't shallow (it was simple, but kinda deep). Just because it's a sequel, it's not a re-hash. And they aren't bad games. Bad games are stuff like Bobo's Circus, which I saw at Wal*Mart yesterday, which nobody wanted.SpruceCaboose

YSE!! well said, my sentiments exactly.

The reason why the wii is still selling even tho those points above are 100% true, is becuase its a virus aimed at a completely diffrent market. Family/casual/nongamers and it 'looks' fun, it would be the perfect choice for parents...just look at it, it looks nice a family friendly..not to mention quite cheap compared to the competion.

i am sorry but an item cannot love you :| nor can it hate you and no your just another person complaing about not looking up games. you dont lik the wii fine go buy something else littery.fbigent34

thegoldenpoo

where yuo proof only girls certin age and non-gamers are buying it? please tell me... there is no way no way you can travel to all stores that have a wii in stock and watch people buy a wii :roll: this is base on assumption thats it.

So why are you even talking about it now? there goes your theory :roll:

than why haven't all the crappy games sell? :roll: again this is only assuming things please used fact you sound like system wars.

:lol: how much do you believe yourself do you even on a wii hack did you even try to animal crossing? :| though tis ok for other system to have reash and ports but not Nintnedo? cause there not trying? :lol: give me a break.

false Nintendo had online with the gamecube and xbox and ps2 didn't start out with online either :roll: xbox is the one who got online startred for consoles.

Last time i check not all games support friends code and your forgetting that xbox cost money so it cost nintendo twice as much to make a good service like that.

:|

All your doing is assuming this you havce no edvince to back up any of these claims this is opioion base and bias one as well :|

it needed a new adueince? it needed to win games and system sell really why does it have to be so much about grapchis online and powerufl system to people enjoy?

this is an bias opioion and seem you don t even on a wii :| another person complaing about something he has no edvince about....

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="fbigent34"]i am sorry but an item cannot love you :| nor can it hate you and no your just another person complaing about not looking up games. you dont lik the wii fine go buy something else littery.thegoldenpoo

[QUOTE="fbigent34"] and i really care what he thinks? :roll: SpruceCaboose

i am tired of people with bias opioion with no edvince saying things... i just sold my 360 cause i didn't play it that much. haven't sold my wiifbigent34
