every system ever has had droughts

The DS, Wii and GBA did not have droughts.Willy105

^ This. Only the N64 and GCN had droughts. The GCN had it worst.

Yes but since at the time I could only have one console (GCN was my pick), then I had to wait for months for a good game.

The N64 and GCN seemed pretty droughty if you ask me.

I would imagine a console under a gaming drought would not be seeing any good games at all. Since the wii's release it's recieved at least a couple good games each month. Even holiday 08, which has to be one of the worst periods in the wii's history, saw some awesome games over the course of it.

Pretty sure every console has some sort of drought at one point or another. It's pretty much a matter of taste. Summers used to be pretty bad for everyone though.

[QUOTE="Willy105"]The DS, Wii and GBA did not have droughts.Ratchet_Fan8

thats not a drought just a foolish SW debate that has little to no meaning to the other excellent games that come out constantly on the wii

every system has droughts long and short

The Super Nintendo was the last Nintendo home console to have strong third party support, so do the math.

SNES had a helluva drought on launch. We had Super Mario World, Pilotwings, and ummm....F-Zero, and not much else for quite a while. I remember Sega running commercials making fun of how few games the SNES had.

Every console has it's droughts.

PS3 at launch.

360 for about the past year and a half (if you don't include multiplats).

Wii about the same time as 360 but a little bit longer and more noticible due to weak multiplat support.

PC for a while now also.

[QUOTE="Willy105"][QUOTE="Ratchet_Fan8"] the wii is currently having one,2 years and still no AAAE,sure it has AAE'/AA's,but for SW-worthy,you need AAAE'sW1NGMAN-

the wii has some critically acclaimed exclusives as well, but just because a game isnt critically acclaimed doesnt mean it cant be good, this is what willy was implying theres a ton of A-AA games to keep you preoccupied on the wii which is consistent

[QUOTE="W1NGMAN-"][QUOTE="Willy105"] Droughts mean no worthwhile games, not games that get AAAE's. Heck, this year the Wii has been the one to continually have releases. and seems to own the Summer of 2010. But either way, it's not like this year is bad for any console, except maybe PSP.Silenthps

When Willy stated the Wii was "the one" to continually have releases, maybe if he worded it differently like "just as consistant" or something similar.

But by that logic most probably no system has experienced droughts ever making this thread pointless. We need certain high parameter, like only AAA games and monthly periods for example, to separate the real deal from blind fanboyism.

I don't know about you guys but in the N64 days I didn't experienced any droughts of gaming. It was The Legend of Zelda then 007 then Perfect Dark then Star Fox 64 then Quake, then Doom 64, then Diddy Kong Racing then etc etc.

There was always a game everytime I went to the N64.

Gamecube I regret hardly getting the games for that system but I didn't experience any sort of "droughts" from that age either. ONLY THIS GEN Have I experienced any sort of "Gaming Drought".

The Wii had a horrible second half of 08 imo. 09 was better but seriously, if you own an HD console, the amount of multiplats really make the year fill up. The Wii may have sold very well back then but honestly, anyone with an HD console would've passed on Animal Crossing, COD WAW & many of the cool niche titles like de Blob & Deadly Creatures simply because what the HD twins offered in Q3/Q4 of 08, was simply superior.

Critical reception of Wii games isn't exactly a reliable measure of Wii game quality, given that most reviewers are either unskilled at Wii gaming, or just flat out say things which are provably wrong.roxlimn

what?by your logic every system has droughts all the time besides the hd consoles this generation. every system has drought for a long period of time and sometimes its not that long if theirs quality games to play theirs no drought. also just because a wii game was not AAA here doesnt mean they werent elsewhere which makes this thread unfactual and just plain pointless.

the wii pumps out AA's out of thin air which is high enough quality to keep people preoccupied just because the hd consoles get multiplatform high quality games does not mean their was not a drought when the ps3 first released or for the 360 along the lines.

not everybody is going to like every AAA game and their is no point of playing scores but yes every system has droughts of not enough A-AAA games in their lifespan.
