and the 360 is the king of shallow shooters? Halo 3?

just cause you arent good at super smash doesnt mean its shallow. And i fail to see how halo 3 is any less shallow. its a great party game that has just as many "features" as Super smash. it has forge while super smash has the level editor. The online is better but that doesnt make the game any less shallow.

They are good games that casuals will like. There's something wrong with that? Trying too much? Damage control?

So Brawl is a shallow party game now? :lol:

There's definately better adjectives that can be used to factually describe Brawl.

Just play for fun, the majority of the Smash community doesn't give a crap if it isn't deep, heck I constantly see them impose their way of playing on competitive players.

Halo 3 is as much of a party game. Seriously, most of the time we'll go over to someone's house who has a big LCD, and play 4 player splitscreen. It's fun, also CoD4 and other shooters :D

People always have some excuse to ignore good titles on competing platforms whether it's a "nerdy PC RTS", "kiddy Wii game" or "generic 360 shooter".

Brawl shallow? Gamespot disagrees with you:

"But just because the game's mechanics are so simplified compared to traditional fighters doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of depth to be found for those willing to invest the time.

All of the characters have their own strengths and weaknesses, and learning how to protect yourself while taking advantage of your opponents' flaws goes a long way toward securing a victory. There can be a surprising amount of strategy involved, from knowing when and how to attack to ensuring that the terrain of the sometimes over-the-top levels works for you rather than against you.

Yeah, because when you're at a party you want to play the most overly complex games possible. The fact that people who aren't dorks or hardcore tech heads would even consider playing a video game system at a party is a testament to the Wii. Face it, the Wii is a fun video game system. If you think thats bad, then you're that oddball type of gamer who thinks fun games are a bad thing... which makes no sense at all.

I have a Wii. I am 36 and have been gaming since 1980. Am I "casual?"...I have 16 consoles and around 1400 games. Am I "casual?"...I have played and beaten more games then most people will ever dream of. Am I "casual?"...

Plus I still have time to work , take care of my kids, wife, and workout 5 days a week....Casual?....I think this term is thrown around far too often.........

Too bad Brawl isn't shallow. Plays great with friends, though. I suppose that means all split-screen FPS are party games, too. :roll:

this is system wars + sometimes a comparison helps prove the point better. if halo 3 is good and its a party game, then why are people sayng that only the wii has shallow party games... or at least good shallow party games.

MLG begs to differ.

And if Brawl is anything like melee than your looking at another hardcore hit.
