You know when i was playing my Wii the other day and for awhile actually i asked myself a question. Where is this all going? What i mean is the Wii has taken over the casual market and has made millions for nintendo. But this has cost a lot of the hardcore nintendo fans grief. So what i am asking is since the wii has made millions for nintendo with winning the casuals do you think they will stay this way next gen, or do you think they will try to push casuals (wii sports, wii play, wii music) into more hardcore games? (mp3, zelda, pikmin)

I think Nintendo will still roll out games for it's core franchises but you will have to wait longer for them than in previous generations because Nintendo is more casual focused this gen.

Their core games still sell very, very well. They will continue to make them. As for third parties, companies like Sega, EA, Activision and Capcom have their core games sell alot on the Wii.

So...i dont get this thread!!

I believe some Wii owners are losing faith in the Wii's ability to put out games that aren't meant for 5 year olds. Just because a few companies put out good games doesn't change that many more companies put out crap games on the Wii.

Wii..I was gonna buy it before i got the PS3, But since i noticed it wasent for hardcore gamers, i lost faith in it.. you see, the wii as a secondary console is good, but not as a primary console. I'd say people are going to ignore motion-sense and head to next generation of sound and graphics..at least, thats what my family did. i really think wii will be heading downhill if they dont make hardcore games in the next 6 months, PS3 has been gaining momentum ever since.

You basically where brainwashed by the SW's trolls then?

More System Wars BS

I'd say people are going to ignore motion-sense and head to next generation of sound and graphics..at least, thats what my family did.mazin-95

Every system will have motion sensing next gen. Hell, sony shoe-horned in the last minute a badly gimped motion function on their controllers this gen and MS is looking into it too.

i really think wii will be heading downhill if they dont make hardcore games in the next 6 months, PS3 has been gaining momentum ever since.mazin-95

You must be delusional if you think the PS3 will outsell the Wii, EVER. In fact Wii's sales will increase alot in the next months, and as for more hardcore games, do some research, there are plenty being made

Pushing the casuals into hardcore is what happens with the wii. And they are going to be at that for quite some time.
I think the copycats will finally understand what nintendo is doing in a couple of years and when that competition becomes serious enough i think they will release another console, but that won't be the same thing by then obviously.

I believe some Wii owners should act less like overreacting and overemotional girls exagerating all the time and put more effort in actually looking to the games that are coming to the system.

Its funny how those who are informed dont say it "has games for 5 year olds", or that "nintendo abandoned us" or other BS. Do some research, ignore the fanboy trash talk and you'l actually see that the Wii has the best upcoming exclusive line-up of all home consoles.

Thanks for the lols. that was by far the funniest post on SW I read today.

When was Nintendo EVER hardcore? The nes, snes?

I'm still seeing the same mario/zelda games that were about back then, just now they have a new type of controller.

Wii controller is much better with a dreamcast pad and the core 360 is ****

Its called the arcade and it is a great bit of kit for the price.

I am not against the Wiimote at all - but it just doesn't have the games to back up the control method. Wii sports is still the best example of the technology being implemented correctly.

Only if you're a racist nine year old american boy who isn't smart enoughor rich enough to game on a PC and wants to play shooters and dumbed down PC games on adreamcast pad

Wiimote is the most popular console in the world with the best selling hardware and software in the world. It obviously has something

PC's have conceded their forerunner status to the consoles. And this may shock you, but there are quite a few people that don't like to game on PC.

Wiimote is not a console.

Yeah, it's called the 360 Arcade. :lol:

As for Wii, it's not going anywhere, and Nintendo wouldn't want it to. It's done it's job for them and they're not gonna make any radical changes.

I don't have to , you can find them on gamespot, the Wii's upcoming lineup is extremely weak, there's no way to deny that nomatter how much of a nintendo fanboy you are.

Little Big Planet- Oct. 21 08
Motorstorm Pacific Rift- Oct 28 08
Singstar Vol 2- Oct 28 08
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm- Fall 08 (some sites say Nov 4)

Valkryia Chronicles- Nov 11 08
Killzone 2- Feb 1st 09
White Knight Chronicles- Q1 09
inFamous

God of War 3

Heavy Rain

The two dudes above me already covered the 360 and PS3 lineups for end of '08, it's pretty clear the Wii's pales in comparison. Just in the next few months Gears, Fable, and the new Banjo drop on the 360.

Second, multiplats matter as well, without a doubt. If you have a PS3 and no 360 you are not going to care that Fallout 3 is also on the 360 when it releases. How is it being on another console going to affect how well it plays for you? Many of the greatest games of all time are multiplatform games, it doesn't make them any "worse." People should stop making excuses for Wii's horrendous multiplat support, that's one of the reasons (one of them, not the only one) the Wii has such an overall weaker library.

Do you realize how many games on that list are actually terrible games? if you're lucky there'll be one AAA on that list.
