skyjedi2005 said:Yeah but the last real nintendo console in terms of a library of games worth owning first and third party was the snes. Ever since then they have had a weak library of games if you take Mario, Zelda and Metroid out of the equation. The wii only has about 3 games worth owning imho and they are easily beaten and then the system is as good as a paperweight, The console is a gimmick even miyamato knows it is and still does not care.
They only wanted to do something different than their competition, but there is nothing revoltionary about the wii, not graphics not gameplay zero, nothing zilch...
Because the PS3 and X-Box 360 are so innovative doing the same thing last generation did, only bigger.
The DS has a better catalog of games at least to me being an avid Rpg fan and gamer another reason why the wii is such a failure. Perhaps final fantasy crystal bearers will fix that if it does ever get finished,lol. Or if they put out a real dragonquest game on the wii.
They are making a Dragon Quest game for Wii.
The whole point of the Wii was to attract new customers into gaming. Nintendo can't compete for the 'core' gamer. The Gamecube proved that. It had some of the finest damn games of the generation, and still came in third place. It's a sad fact that the market goes for the violence and the gore, and Nintendo doesn't do that. They needed a pardigm shift. That was Nintendo's stated business model from well before the system was released. They really had no choice. Nintendo is a company that makes things for one industry: video games. They don't have money to burn like Sony and Microsoft. They don't have other divisions to keep them afloat if the games division isn't doing so hot.
Nintendo knows full well that HD will be standard sooner or later. They never intended an 'either/or' choice for the Wii. The Wii does something different; the other two do something proven. They've never been shooting for the same market. Nintendo isn't putting a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to buy the Wii, and there's absolutely no reason aside from finances that you have to choose the 'hardcore' X-Box/PS3 or the casual Wii. Theres no reason that World of Goo (which could not be done on the other two consoles) and Metal Gear Solid 4 (which also could not be done on the other two consoles) should be somehow mutually exclusive.
I understand why you'd be frustrated with Nintendo, and even have legtimate reasons to dislike the Wii, but acting like it's somehow a failure on Nintendo's part is fanboy entitlement at its worst.
