If games will seem just as gimmicky when motion controls do hit the HD consoles this spring. Also, if developers and publishers will simply port Hi-Res scraps left from the Wii lineup instead of new experiences.

Good Editorial though.

Revolution is a name that sounds much more enticing than the Wii. Sounds like a french console. hehe

I wonder if I should buy a Wii. Its price has dropped, it's available in black (which would perfectly fit between my PS3 and my 360) and there are some games that can be very interesting (I'm not fond of Nintendo games such as Mario or Metroid, but recently I've played Muramasa which was really awesome).

But I have a 40" screen, I'm very aliasing-sensitive and there are rumors about a Wii HD. And of course, we don't know if it's true or not. Should I wait a confirmation next year for a Wii HD? Will this console have backward compatibility with previous Wii games? Or should I buy one now? I don't know and I hope I'll get enough with Modern Warfare 2 to forget about this idea.

3rd party developers cant keep making core games if they don't sell, no sale = no money and the time effort and advertising needed to make games its just to much of a risk when they dont meet expectations, like the articke said nintendo dosent care its already doing better than they could ask for so aslong as they can sell tons of casual games thats wat they will continue to do, the good thing is not to many 3rd partys develop casual games and i say thats good because they can get there core game on the PS3 and 360.

...POP...!!!

goes the Wii-zel

I was a huge Nintendo fanboy like 3 year ago before the Wii was releases and a big Sony hater. But then the Wii came out, I didn't like what I was seeing. It was a Gamecube for 250 dollars(a pretty high price for such a POS) with some fancy motion controller that didn't do anything I couldn't with a traditional controller. In fact for some games I found the controller to be harder to use and less fun.

Then I decide to give up on Nintendo and started looking for another console. Even thought I hated Sony I always had to buy their consoles because of the huge library of games they had on the PSX and PS2, plus, I'm a big jrpg fan and FFXIII was announced exclusively for the PS3. So I went and bought a PS3 and even though it cost me $600 it was a much better value than a $250 Wii. Specially for the free online that it's so much superior, blu-ray and all the exclusive games that cannot be found on other consoles(and all in HD not crappy 480p) that have been releasing since MGS4.

Right now I'm not going back to Nintendo anytime soon. Who would believe it? They'll need to release like 5 more Zeldas and Metroid in HD for me to consider going back. That means no Nintendo for me until next-gen.

a consistent release of "core" games, but Nintendo will have to lead the way. Once the world sees that Nintendo wants to focus more on the "core" gamer then 3rd party devs can get their bearing. But like I said, these games need to be consistent with one another, at least one game a month back to back.

i wish i played my wii more. but i have no reason to

Nintendo Qui

and that is daily. WTF is up with these nintendo death/ suck articles???
There are some addicting games on the Wii that you just cant get anywhere else (Mario Kart Wii/SSBB) and I still play daily because I have alot of people over my house gaming almost everyday.

A typical day goes from:
UFC-PS3
SSBB-Wii
SF3 3rd Strike-DC
TvC-Wii (imported a year ago)
BlazBlue-PS3
WWF/E No Mercy-64/DoR2-Wii
Madden-PS3
Mario Kart-Wii
KZ2-PS3

Those games get played daily at my crib. People just need to branch out and have fun instead of nitpicking now a days.

I want another Wii, I really do... I bought one when they were scarce and played Twilight Princess, a little of Mario Galaxy, Boom Blox, and Wii Sports with my parents. I'd really like to play New Super Mario Bros, the Wii Zelda Game, Galaxy 2, and the others, but I dunno if I want to shell out money for just a few games..... If Nintendo/other developers would release more quality titles instead of shovelware, maybe it would be worth purchasing again. After the quality game dryspell, I sold mine and put the money towards my PS3.

motion controller

well the wii is only 200 now, it isnt as hard or expensive as when they were scarce

yet another wii hate article, raptor Jesus.

i stopped reading at,"and wonder why titles like The Conduit, Madworld, and the more recent Dead Space: Extraction don’t sell as many copies as they should."

its quite clear really, why they don't sell, and thats because they suck for the most part. who would want to play a 5 hour long game and play $50 for it with no replay value or online, and for those longer than 5 hours, like The Conduit, The Conduit is just an average shooter, look at most of the reviews, most people just say its average at best.(that doesn''t mean there not fun though. i have most of those games, and they are fun, but have issues, like being short and repetitive)

when 3rd party devs take the wii seriously and STOP making cash-ins then maybe they would sell better. maybe DS:E would have sold better, if it wasn't a railshooter. do you know how many DS fans lost interest in this game, when they found out it was a railshooter? most of them. then people waited for the reviews and found out you can beat it in one sitting, with really no replay value. then they say, "i'm going to wait for a price drop". EA shouldn't blame wii owners for their half-assed game. granted its a really good game, graphics are nice on the wii, and the story telling is phenomenal, but you have to consider the rest too.

plus how many adds have you seen for DS:E on tv? now how many adds have you seen for dead space?!..
