The decision to target casual gamers... altho that may apply to both the Wii and the DS
Who really needs a low-res camera on a gaming platform?

WTF Nintendo, what happened to THAT meaning something. ya know as in, we wont allow so many shitty games on our console. I know all consoles has craptacular games, but at least in the past it seemed a whole lot more regulated when THIS meant something to both you and us Nintendo fans. I don't hate nintendo or the wii, but there has been so much squandered potential and Nintendo just looks as if they are standing idly by. There is a reason why most of the seemingly good games are first party, as third party devs seems to use the wii as a quick cash in or something.

This one feels a tad awkward when you first try it since the trigger is at the front and not that back. overall it's not bad and it works, but I prefer classic gun orientation.
I prefer this one more, it's what I meant by classic orientation, feels a lot more "right". Just don't let your parents or Jack Thompson see you playing with it...or else they might think your training on a "murder" simulator lol
The NES had an insane amount of crappy games too. All the seal of quality means is that the software/hardware has been licensed by Nintendo, and won't damage your console due to shoddy assembly or lousy programming.-Seraph- said:This and:Barky13 said:

But the 8-bit days sure were the good days, right? Especially for the developers, who were forced to sign exclusivity agreements and basically hand over all their rights into Nintendo's hands just so they could release their games on the NES.
Neither Nintendo nor Sony or Microsoft will refuse a bad game the right to be released as long as the license is paid. It's not their place. As consumers it's our responsibility not to buy the crap.
They tried quality control on the N64 and what happened was that most devs were put off by having to conform to Nintendo's rigid standards. But hey those worked and kept crap off the console. When they relaxed them, we got Superman 64. Nuff said.-Seraph- said:This and:Barky13 said:

No More Heroes is an intense game, get that right now!! Madworld is okay, and House of the Dead looks intresting, though I dont have it. If you don't have RE4, you could get that, too. Also, you can consider getting older games on the Wii Shop channel, and Wii Ware games, too.
Also, you could try giving casual gaming a try. I'm not much of a casual gamer, but I like the Rayman Raving Rabbids games.

That may be but it is fifteen quid for 2000 wii points, which is nothing really, and besides the rewards speak for them selves, and sure the games can sometimes be crap, and the fights on SSBB can be boring, but it is well worth the wait for some one who has played the game for more that five minutes to come along, i mean come on, is it that hard to play through the whole game? I used to have it, within a week I had everything. The only problem with the browser is that you can't open multiple tabs, but who gives a damn about that, really.
