You said it buddy. But like socks and remotes I'm sure we'll find them again eventually. I'm just not sure if we have to wait till the next generation of consoles or not.Xiado said:

You find them again? I've got about 15 socks in my draw with no matching pairs.ArcadianTrance said:
First Paragraph: you mean the third-party games not actually made by Nintendo? Or do you mean the likes of Wii Sports and Wii Play? Those two are hardly horrible, unless you're actually looking for a challenge or something.RaRaLoco said:
Second Paragraph: They're only reaching out to the nongamers? What about Galaxy, Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Twilight Princess, Fire Emblem? What about the Virtual Console, you think they're allowing us to play Ninja Gaiden again for those who don't game? They may be the same franchises over and over again, but this is Nintendo, how could you have been a Nintendo fan long enough to blame the Wii for Nintendo's "decline" and not realise that this is what Nintendo have always done?
I bet after all those games you just listed you could not say another good game that is out for the wii? Virtual console is a waste of time it has hardly any games on it compared with what Ps3 store has or XBL store has too. Virtual console is only good if you have the homebrew channel hack.Graustein said:
Nintendo had such great games on gamecube and N64 for gods sake it had Resi 4 before PS2! Do you think Resi 5 will be coming out for wii? I didnt think so. Yes Galaxy and Brawl were fantastic. But compared to other consoles and PC the wii just cannot match up and it is because of Nintendos obsessive focus with party games and aiming at new people playing games!
I did no care for the Mario DS games either, even the minigames on Super Mario 64 DSJokerGrin said:Remember Mario is Missing?pyromcr said:
Technically it's a Luigi game I guess but should be forgotten either way.

There, I just named five.
Virtual Console has A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Ocarina, Mario 64, Lylat Wars, Harvest Moon, Ninja Gaiden, Yoshi's Story, Mario RPG, Kid Icarus, several Kirby games, Castlevania, Mega Man, Secret of Mana, Paper Mario...
I could go on. That's plenty of quality games.
"Compared to other consoles and PC the Wii just cannot match up"
Well nothing can match up to the PC in my opinion. Compared to the other consoles, that is purely a matter of taste. I don't want Halo, Resident Evil, GTA, Mass Effect, Bioshock and all those. I have said before and I will say again that the Wii has more games that I would want to buy than the PS3 and 360 combined. That's only talking about games exclusive to the Wii or not available on PC, as the case may be. So even if the PS3 and 360 had their libraries combined, I would prefer a Wii for the games. So don't talk to me about the Wii "not being able to match up", that is an entirely subjective point.
That's all I have to say. I shall say nothing more on this subject because, like it or not, there are plenty of quality games on the Wii if you would bother to look past the crap. You can insist all you want that the Wii has no decent games, but "I don't like" does not equal "it is shit", no matter how hard you wish that to be so. And if you can't accept that people like different things, then I have nothing more to say to you.
When did i ever seem to say that i wanted to change peoples opinions about the Nintendo Wii or it's games? I do not care whatsoever if you enjoy the wii and it's games i am clearly stating and complaing about Nintendo and the fact that believe it or not. Nintendo has changed it's attitude about gaming and what the future of Nintendo is. This clearly changes the path of what games are going to be developed. Fair enough you do not want to play games such as "Halo, Resident Evil, GTA, Mass Effect, Bioshock and all those"Graustein said:
Well really then you dont have much choice at the end of the day. I don't want to change your opinion i am just clearly stating mine.
Well there's some potentially awesome games in the pipeline, but I guess all games are potentially awesome.
HEY, don't undermine my shallow attempts at optimism it makes me feel all frowny face inside, and I may have... Possibly... ACCIDENTlY... sold your socks on the black market... sorry?SomeBritishDude said:
I am glad i never bought a wii, my friends who did have bith told me that their wiis are collecting dust, you can only play mario galaxy and metroid prime 3 so many times, the system doesn't have any good rpgs either
There is a large list of games I have been meaning to get around to, but haven't found the time (Okami, any of the trauma centres, paper mario, list goes on). My faith in Nintendo goes as far as this year. If Conduit and Madworld don't tide me over until news of a new Zelda, Mario or even a Star Fox, I will be very dissapointed. 2008 seemed lackluster, and thats why I picked up a 360, but that system makes games that are not my favorite (FPS is alright in moderation, and I absolutely hate gears of War), but still fills the void nintendo has left behind. So, here is hoping that 2009 is the resurrection of nintendos catering to more core gamers.
The biggest problem with Nintendo isn't that they lack the capacity to produce (or host) good games, but rather the simple fact that franchises (otherwise known as beating a dead horse) are almost guarnteed money makers. The Wii has several excellent games, but unfortunately none of them really suit my tastes. That being said, I have on many occasions considered purchasing a Wii to play smash brothers, but since the game is mostly a party game and it's rare that I have several of my friends around at the same time these days it's a luxury I can live without.
