Nintendo: "They just don't get us!"

[sappo]

It's a little bit arrogant from Nintendo, but they're right.

I like Counterstrike, but I don't like GTA. And playing Super Paper Mario is a lot of fun

They're just making fun games, and games are MEANT to be that. No uber-visuals will ever make a game a good game, if it has only that.

That is maybe the best post i have ever seen on this forum.

That is so true, i am a ps3 user/fan and my favorite games i have still played is earthworm jim and wonderboy III.

So true, but this is untrue for wii (i.e. crappy wiimote)

Yeap, Wiimotes and fun are clearly incompatible.

Yeap, Wiimotes and fun

true

but only digital buttons and no second anolog stick is very outdated.

a second anolog really is needed, i didnt like zelda partly because of no camera control, and prince of persia having you twist the remote to turn the camera is just plain stupid.

As for rpg on WII,


PS1 took brillantly the lead where snes left. Then Ps2 went also that way since few years.. I believe that it would be great if actualy, the wii could take the torch too.

A popular system, easy to work with, not too expensive to devellope on.. Visualy limited, It sound like the perfect choice!


rpgs = great story, well develloped characters & good musical scores.. That the essential.

All shorts of things that the wii can do.

go for it.

right!

Mostly their point is "we are trying to reach casual gamers too." Unfortunately they forgot about the hardcore gamers altogether, but....

Well, MS seems to be trying to take they advice. the whole deal about releasing more family classics, blah blah blah. Really, the XBLA has many family friendly games. Seen it, naruto...they're reaching both worlds.

C'mon Nintendo, come through for the hardcore gamers too!

When it comes to the Wii, FPS games simply just don't work. Parallel analog sticks is a little better, but they still feel like corn.

I really disagree with the statement that they've forgotten the hardcore gamers. SSBB, Mario Galaxy, Metroid.. I guess it all depends on what hardcore means to you.. I dont think hardcore means rated m. Hardcore is a game that someone who spends a lot of time gaming will love.

Ninty isnt necessarily after that twenty-something "all i wanna do is blow crap up" audience. They're after people who just want to play games. Whether you're casual about it or you want a 6 hour metroid session games are coming for you! The good thing is with so many devs moving over we might just start to see those "blow crap up" games too..

EDIT: OMG i didnt see you say FPS dont work on Wii.. Are you nuts or have you just never played metroid? Wii IR works MUCH better than IR on Metroid!!!! After playing it for 10 minutes I never wanted to touch analog ever again!

3 games doesn't make a system hardcore. Upwards 50, do. hecks, its more hardcore then PS....wait......nvm.

I played Metroid Prime 3. While its decent with controls, games like Red steel, Far Cry and CoD3 were positively horrible.

i agree with you though on the games--- games where its all about drugs, murder and guts make me sick. You kill policemen, how in he** is that fun? Anyone explain to me how killing law enforcement brings enjoyment. I can almost guarantee your answer will be crap.

You have to understand one thing though. Ninty is JUST NOW gaining 3rd party support. Gamecube had literally none and this does take time. I wont lie and say that Wii's library is good now. However I will tell you that going from dead last in 3rd part support to having 50 hardcore games is a stretch. Ninty cant do this alone ya know?

Just be patient and give them the time they need. Wii is a FIRST gen console people. This is a whole new way to play and solid games will take time. Just wait until you play the upcoming games and I think people outlook for the Wii might change
