It seems that the only hardcore games for 2009 are The Conduit and Madworld.
these seem to be those little blow up floats that little kids wrap around their arms to stay afloat in the water.
Those 2 games are the floats I will be wearing... hopefully there will be some announcment soon about a new zelda, or metroid game, hell i'll take anything at this point.
its a good thing I have a 360, PS3, and decent PC as well. But I still feel like it was a waste of $250.
why does every 360 I've had have some type of problem?

What?Irridium said:
As previously discussed (although you might not be following it), No More Heroes 2, Punch-out, Sin and Punishment 2 and the upcomming 'Wii sports resort' (might have something in there with the sparring, if they make it deeper than Wii Sports, although there's no chance of online...)
And there's the ton of 'Let's play with Wii' gamecube ports comming out, which may be pleasurable for many. (£6 V £30 for the sake of using a Wii Mote? No Thanks!)
really? I never heard about those games, except the Wii sports resort but I already have Wii sports and Wii play and I don't feel like spending $50 on another Wii sports game.Jonatron said:
And why would I want to rebuy gamecube games ported onto the Wii? My Gamecube games work fine and they are about the only things I play on the Wii anymore.
I just want a good Wii title that will entertain me for a while. Brawl gets boring after a while.
Well Pikmin better be good or I'm through with the Wii. See, Nintendo is focusing on making money, and since they've been doing that and still releasing utter CRAP means they fail as a company. They are trying to go "Hardcore" with Madworld and House of the Dead, but I think that they should have some good swordfighting games or an FPS horror game.
I could think of a winning idea for a game that involes both of these aspects.. well with a little alteration of the concept of "fitness"...Consistence said:
(I went there and now, i feel dirty)
It's not like the casual gamers have it much better, my mums the only person in my house who owns one and she's only got one game if you exclude the two she got free with the console and the extra wiimote... oh and fitness, but we all do that together, very rarely...
(I'm ok though i'm skinny enough as it is without losing my precious pounds...)
Yes, god forbid we get our fat asses out of the couch while we stare into the low watt lightbulb for a few hours on end... or even better, our obese children subsisting on ho-hos, quik and funyuns.pimppeter2 said:
I was talking about ethics and its relation to economics.Eggo said:It's important when you're attempting to talk about economicstheultimateend said:
So perhaps you would have been better at suggesting I take "Economics and Ethics" which I bet isn't even a class given how businesses overall act these days.
But that 11% layoff EA is gonna be doing is a good example of how ignoring Ethics is good for long term gains...or...no wait...it's not >_>
All this pillow talk is getting me excited.Optimystic said:
In the sort term yeah but these are casual gamers where talking about study's have shown that they tend to buy maybe 5 games in a given year (or something along those lines) plus there not as devoted to games and that's not going to cut it in the long term. Whereas hardcore gamers are extremely devoted to games buy dozens of games in a single year on a constant basis thus sustaining the industry in the long term. Always remember their CASUAL gamers they might play games every now and then or during a party but for the most part it's not a big part of their life like it is for hardcore gamers so there not going to want to fork out tons of money for games there barely ever going to play.Axolotl said:
3rd party games is what the Wii needs. But it doesn't absolve Nintendo of shifting away from the demographic that kept the company afloat through the Gamecube era.blindey said:[Kyle voice] Really? REAALLY? [/Kyle voice]Consistence said:
You can't honestly tell me that none of the 2009 games interest you?
A few I'm looking forward to that aren't staples of a previous series (aka sequels with an increasingly high number)
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
The Conduit

Same with Little King's Story

Punch-out? Hell yeah!

Then there's the slew of stable additions to series
Fatal Frame IV, Monster Hunter, Tenchu, Houst of the Dead
We need to face facts, the Wii is a casual platform in Nintendo's eyes. While games like Mario, Metroid and Zelda will always be around, releases will be few and far between. We're not the money makers any more. We are now the small piece in the pie (chart) and the casual market is now the apple of their eye.
We are the first born child who was showered with love and attention for years and the casual market is the miracle child they received after years of trying (and failing) to conceive.
The 360 and PS3 are weetabix and shredded wheat... they are tried and tested and don't have any gimmicks to sell them but the general substinance is of a high quality.
The Wii is Coco Pops... sugary sweet and gives you a quick sugar rush but eat it every day and you'll get sick of it very quickly.
