No love for House of the Dead? Revise and re-submit.
I used to be on the same side as the author as I was under the impression that third-party games, shooters, and games geared toward the more mature audience didn't seem to be doing well in terms of sales. But after the past few months of sales numbers and the like, I've come around. Games like the Conduit *can* sell well on the Wii, but in large part it depends on the quality of the advertising campaign. Hopefully Sega handles the marketing well.
When will Man learn that all weapons are equally inferior to the Cerebral bore?
Um, in what objective sense is the PS3 the lead platform?
"that game is great. it's a shame that Wii fans would much rather buy Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit, and Wii Music than Zack and Wiki.
3rd party games get NO LOVE on the Wii, and while most of them are mediocre, the few shining examples get ignored by the Nintendo faithful.
i've seen this happen with the N64, i've seen it happen with the Gamecube, and it's happening with the Wii. if it isn't a Mario, Zelda, or Metroid, or developed and published by Nintendo, ...
Curses, double post.
"Call of Duty 4 on the PS3 is just as fun as Call of Duty 4 on the Wii. big difference? the PS3 version looks better on my big screen HDTV, and the motion controls don't add much to the game."
Call of Duty 4 is not on the Wii.
"the point i'm trying to make, is that it was MY money, and the money of gamers like me, who paved the way for Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and Sega to do what they do, and Nintendo has decided to thank me by repackaging their ...
Ah, five disagrees for eight words -- a personal best.
Because apparently, things would be better if market diversity were stamped out and *all* systems dedicated themselves to churning out generic first person shooters with exorbitantly priced graphic engines being wasted in generating environments comprised almost entirely of dull browns, grays, and blacks.
"wouldn't it be awesome if Nintendo announced that the next nintendo console will return to the N64 concept? With good graphics and more mature-oriented games?"
If by "awesome", you mean "horrible", then... yes.
"People love to act as if they think No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki are great games, but they never actually bought them. The sales show it."
In all fairness, No More Heroes only really flopped in Japan. In other regions, it sold well enough. Well, at least enough to warrant a sequel.
That said, you're spot on about Zack and Wiki (unfortunately).
Maybe then we'll finally be able to get that sequel to Skies of Arcadia that they keep cruelly taunting us with.
"they have completely stabbed their hardcore gamers in the back."
Um, assuming that this is indeed the case (which I doubt; sorry, but two games out of a library of hundreds doesn't exactly constitute solid evidence, even around here), then why *shouldn't* Nintendo stab so-called "hardcore" gamers in the back?
I'm not sure I understand what this article's trying to say. Were there actually people who thought that Final Fantasy XIII would *not* be the most wanted game in Japan?
Well, I'll be looking forward to one heck of a title screen, then.
Different people have different definitions on how to quantify videogame quality.
For example, here's Gamespot's system.

A 6 is "Fair" and an 8 is "Great" with "Good" lying in between at 7.
Personally, I'm more interested in the words people have to say about games than I am in the s...
"1966 - SEGA Enterprises releases its own coin-op game called Periscope. A submarine simulator that gets the player to peer through a periscope and fire torpedoes, the game actually became something of a worldwide hit, and provided a massive incentive for SEGA to continue its new focus on internally-produced arcade games."
Hey, I used to play that game all the time down at the arcade. Never had any idea that it was that old, though.
"Does this mean no more casual and way more core titles?"
I sort of doubt that. The way I'm understanding it, the Wii Fit team was mostly made up of people who have and will work on "Casual" games with only a couple people from the more mainstream franchises. And that when Miyamoto say "they've all gone back", I think he's referring only to the couple of people from the mainstream franchises.
"Think about it if wiifit launched ...
"This article lies."
Do you even know what a lie *is*? It's a statement which is factually untrue.
"According to Metacritic the previously unheard of 'World of Goo' for Wiiware is ranked as the 2nd best Wii game to date."
Which is -- currently anyway -- the truth. According to the metacritic rating system, World of Goo is ranked second.
You can argue that basing something off of X number of reviews isn't quite so...
"they must of been drunk when they reviewed it"
You say that as if that's a bad thing.
Frankly, we need more games that are a blast to play while drunk.
Kirby Wii? Color me happy.
