RedTigrr Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 So far, the only Wii game that I've enjoyed (and kept for that matter) was No More Heroes. So far Nintendo has left a bad taste in my mouth with what's been released... and yes that does include SSBM. I'm hoping that all changes this fall.... but from the sounds of things, it's looking like I'm gonna continue to be disappointed so far.

PlastikBag Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 This year would have been a lot better if they didn't announce shit like Prince of Persia and Beyond Good and Evil 2 until e3. Or maybe even Megaman 9, or Chrono Trigger. I guess that most of the good games this year are third party multi-console games though, and it really wouldn't be appropriate to announce that stuff there. Anyway, shame on Nintendo. I'm starting to get fed up with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm so disapointed with nintendo. my wii hasn't been plugged up since the week after brawl came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 If Brawl isn't enough to satisfy you guys, you should probably just sell your Wii now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm seriously wondering how much longer the Wii is going to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTigrr Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 If Brawl isn't enough to satisfy you guys, you should probably just sell your Wii now. Well here's the thing: I never liked the SSB series to begin with. It was just meh to me. It's cute for about 15-30 minutes. After that, time to find something else to play.

Dhsu Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Well then you bought the wrong system. I'm seriously wondering how much longer the Wii is going to last. You'll be wondering a long time if sales are any indication! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericDerrick Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 It's actually kind of funny, I was more psyched when I watched the MS Conference than when I watched the Nintendo one. I don't even have a freakin' 360 either. I'm contemplating buying one now though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCvgluvr Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 If Brawl isn't enough to satisfy you guys, you should probably just sell your Wii now. Don't be absurd. It takes more than one good game to maintain a game console! GenericDerrick, it'll be the best gaming decision you've ever made. Xbox Wii60 is the way to go!

Dhsu Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Don't be absurd. It takes more than one good game to maintain a game console! But when you don't even like the best game a console has to offer so far, it's a good sign you won't like anything else down the line either.

I-n-j-i-n Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 halo gears of war halo halo mii ripoff ffxiii Add Prince of Persia, Saints Row 2, Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge, and just about every relevant 3rd party games out there. I want Nintendo and Microsoft to merge already. Nintendo stuff and casual stuff + the 3rd parties and hardcore stuff. I think it's pretty obvious that the two sides are really missing the other piece of the puzzle. Oh and btw, Wii Music does sound pretty good as long as it can properly utilize the 1:1 controls. That would've been impossible with the older, clunkier scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Well then you bought the wrong system.You'll be wondering a long time if sales are any indication! That's why I'm wondering. It's selling, but how long is it going to please people? You already hear the constant gripe of gamers saying that there's hardly any appealing games for the Wii, and all that's coming out is lame party games. When I see things like Wii Fit, Wii Sports and Wii Music, I see those games are something you can just easily pick up and play. That's it. They'll entertain you for maybe 20 mins, and then you're done until the next time you're bored or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 As someone eloquently put it: Nintendo may be using E3 time to appeal to the casual game crowd because it has such large press coverage. Casual gamers are more likely to hear about things at E3 than anywhere else, and that's the demographic that is making Nintendo money right now. This doesn't mean that Nintendo isn't doing things for the core gamer too, but that they trust that they can announce those games any old time and those of us who are interested will find the news through our usual online sources, rather than having to hear about it during a massive mediafest. Makes sense. I hope it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because the unhappy gamers are the ones making all the noise. Nintendo is still and will continue doing well with its casual demographic.

Hale-Bopp Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The thing that concerns me is how overly casual some of Nintendo's games are getting on the Wii. For instance, Wii Music is looking much more like a showcase demo of what the system can do, as opposed to being a game that will engage players for hours and hours. The impression I get is that games like this and Wii Sports Resort are more like Electroplankton in that they're a neat little toy that distracts you for a few moments, but that's about it.

Avatar of Justice Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Well then you bought the wrong system. I find it funny that the game that defines the Wii or whatever doesn't use the motion control factor. The innovation everyone thought would save gaming.

XZero Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was watching a recent Angry VG Nerd episode this morning (Star Trek) where he tried everything to get the one Star Trek NES game to properly respond to his controller input (including verbally calling it a Piece of Shit and flipping it off). Perhaps Wii Speak will recognize when I swear at the unfairness that is Mario Kart Wii's item distribution and give me something good. When a game responds to verbal swears positively, then I'll be impressed. I loved how the Sony rep at one point argued that they aren't trying to saturate the store shelves with games no one wants to play; it's an ironic statement given the PS2 and PS1 histories of really bad games (though the Wii is getting pretty close to that point now).

Worrisome if you're a hardcore gamer only. I think that's why so many gamers are saying 'nothing' really came out of Nintendo's E3 this year. I guess the casual gamers would be alright with it. Some addons are nice, but that's it. Not quite the march of games Microsoft has shown, or the software system overhauls both MS and Sony is promising.

Hale-Bopp Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Well, my thoughts are that they've already ensnared the casual audience. Those people are sold. They bought their Wiis or are already planning on getting one. So with that in mind, why not take it up a notch and give those people and the rest of us who do in fact enjoy casual and hardcore games and have already had their fill of Wii Sports, something with a bit more meat? Maybe Resort will surprise us, but I'm not holding my breathe, considering that what I saw at their conference was kind of underwhelming. I am however really excited about the possibilities of 1:1 motion control with games. I wish they had taken their time demonstrating that with the sword fighting, instead of flailing their arms everywhere. It's hard to tell just how accurate the 1:1 motion was. I also would like to see head tracking integrated into games within the next year, hopefully sooner than later. While this holiday season may not be everything I would personally hope for, I'm gonna try my best and practice patience and maybe even have a little faith that some developers out there, including Nintendo themselves, will fully deliver the goods on the things I mentioned above during this generation of gaming, instead of holding out for the next one.

I-n-j-i-n Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I still wonder why Nintendo should give a damn about the 3rd party. Because they were always Nintendo centric in their strategy and their whole "We are developing Mario/Zelda" was their 'big news', because they never develop those games. /sarcasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilhead Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I find it funny that whenever I go to someone's house and play the wii, the best game is still the shooting gallery game from wiiware. What a joke of a system... Just goes to show that when you lower the bar to appeal to mom's and grandma's you get crap games or no games at all.
