[QUOTE="FlashMan2006"]Nintendo did not publish Cooking Mama did they? And why aren't you complaining about the $60 price tags on the 360 and PS3 games? Only hardcore gamers are willing to spend so much on a freaken game. If you want to keep the industry alive you must offer consumer priced games. Even at $50 I consider that too much, but it's better than $60 and Nintendo is doing the right thing by offering a more affordable option to the consumer. GundamGuy0

so 10$ is that much of a difference?

Cooking Mama $50

Halo 3 $60

Um...

If you want story then go pick up a book, games are for gameplay, son, and THAT is what makes a game epic.MaTT2011

So Pac-Man is epic to you guys?.... >_>;

It's Epic enough to have it's own Championships...

So is Pong Epic Then?

In all seriousness... you just called Pac-Man an epic game....

I'm ashamed to be associated with you as a gamer.

[QUOTE="thedarkomen"] I AM SICK AND TIRED OF NINTENDO MAKING EXCUSES OF NOT SPENDING MORE MONEY ON THEIR GAMES AND INSTEAD CASHING IN ON SIMPLE GAMES THAT TOOK THE EQUIVALENT OF 1 HOUR TO MAKE.kittykatz5k

It takes me at least 15 hours of work to make a decent map, it takes far longer than1 hour to make a game.

It was an exageration by the way. And a very close one.

But I doubt that Dog Island took a lot of effort compared to Gears or the equivalent.

compared to ALL the epic games the PS3 has...... you know, both of themhamstergeddon

Assassin's Creed

Devil May Cry 4

FFXIII

Halo 3

Gears of War

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits

Killzone 2 (20 million dollars being put into it)

And tons and tons of other big budget epic games.

I love my Wii, its a great system, but these games aren't even targeting me.... a GAMER!

This will end all of these arguments.

I own a Wii and there is a huge shortage of epic games. What is epic you ask? Well usually is a game that has a deep and immersive story. Some of them include 6-7 hour type games or 50 hour games.

These are not simple games that someone just made with only a couple bucks and a ducktaped dev kit. Cooking Mama is bad, really bad. That is the opposite of epic.

Epic is a MAIN series of a game, it is mostly always exclusive.

Epic games include Halo, God of War, Legend of Zelda, Gears of War, All Main Final Fantasies.

What people mean by EPIC games is games that developers ACTUALLY PUT EFFORT INTO. The only real epic game on the Wii is the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. All that we have left is Metroid 3 and Mario Galaxy. Everything else is lax and moot. Epic was never Nintendo system's strong point.

I did not buy a wii to play PSP ports, or Cooking Dogs with Playing Waggle. I bought it for the immersive gameplay that IS possible. But all I see is developers cashing in and not even trying to make an epic or game of effort. Where's that big budget third party game?

That's why casuals are ruining the market, because there's less games that are actually GOOD according to our standards. And us as gamers have very low standards. Our standards are even lower thanks to the Wii's 1 hour Wiiplay $50 games.

So Nintendo, STFU about this casual business and get exclusive deals on some EPIC GAMES, games that will last me more than 10 hours, or a small playthrough.

B-but there must be a box shortage!!

XD 

Nintendo no longer has a 3rd party problem....Get over itHarlockJC

RE4 remakes.....? Soul Calibur Spin-offs?.... >_>;; Ubisoft?????? Ugh... The only third party my wii likes is rayman... and that ain't saying much buddy. 

The Ps3 is losing exclusives while thw Wii is gaining exclusives.blizzvalve

Yes because Cooking Mama and half-baked franchise spin-offs really hit the heart of gaming.
