I sort of disagree. I find that the internet offers more nuanced positions than in real life. In real life people are more afraid to voice their true opinion on something. Even something as trivial as video games. But that's neither here nor there.
Wii Music does not play itself, that is a fact. It cannot be argued. It's not an opinion, I'm sorry.
I'll give you Sin and Punishment, but how is Monolith not Nintendo? They own them. Why are they seen as being separate? It's like saying "Nintendo didn't make Mario Galaxy, EAD Tokyo did." Nintendo provides the money to the developers, how is that a different relationship than the one the company has with NST?
Again, I and lots of other Nintendo fans have no problem if someone criticizes Nintendo and what they do. I do think that Wii Music failed at achieving it's full potential and I do blame Nintendo for that. But what I don't stand for is Matt Cassa-marasmatas-ssina telling me that I'm wrong for thinking that NSMBWii is good enough for me.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."
IGN is full of shit. Spent 6 months bitching and trashing Nintendo with drivel pulled from the deepest pits of GameFAQs and presented as "editorials" and now that they actually have to act professional again to talk about the upcoming lineup they're trying to "wash away" the torrent of shit coming out of their asses they called articles.
I'm sure the day after Other M comes out, we will be treated once again to random, moronic "nintendo sucks" articles and watch various meltdown editorials in response to the Vitality Sensor. This will continue right up to around the release month of Zelda Wii in which IGN will once again for a 180 in tone and content.
You can't spell malignant without IGN.
Never trust a troll.

They're just not hardcore enough to appreciate this game anyway especially since it's hard to play this game casually. 
In any case, I'm quite annoyed that I'll be spending less this when all of these titles appeared! Hopefully, I'll get a better job and be able to buy all of them.

I couldn't get past the first paragraph without rolling my eyes. Casual sluts? Nintendo needs to get a job?
There's gotta be a paid journo in the enthusiast press worth reading besides Stephen Totilo. He can't[/] be the only one. Why havent I seen anything from N'gai Croal lately?

I still feel bad for visiting IGN that one time not too long ago.
It is simply unforgivable.

I stopped visiting IGN after their annoying rants, and I won't come back to them now that they act surprised.
For a long time I've felt like IGN and I, we don't share the same view on games. Their Nintendo team basically seems to consist of xbox and playstation gamers that are frustrated to be on the wrong platform. The rant posts were just the final straw.

The question is, "Is Nintendo crapping in a box?" And for me and many other people the answer is no. So your point loses all validation here. |
Great point. And then IGN goes on to tell us we have no idea what a good game is and were morons for liking the Wii and its games. Well that basicly what they said. So can you not understand why us Wii owners are a little insulted here?
sc94597: This was a great point and theres no answer against it so im sure it will be ignored. Just wanted you to know I agree.
Stopped reading at the first sentence when I realised that IGN content writers were being about as mature as ever... If this is meant to be a peace offering to Nintendo or to Nintendo fans, jog on!
Constructive criticism of anything is fine, but it simply cannot be ignored that all the big games in this list have been known about since last years E3 at the most recent (you know, the biggest media event in gaming), so the excuse of 'these games are only known to people on forums so IGN can't be blamed for their earlier articles' doesn't really wash. Hell, S&P2 was unveiled at the last Nintendo Media Summit in October 2008.
The fact is, IGN have been one of the big 'woe is me Nintendo have deserted me' websites lately, as such conveniently ignoring all those announced games for months to make a point is at best poor journalism, and at worst deliberately causing controversy, which is normally reserved for tabloid newspapers.
If these games had all been unveiled for the first time at the summit, then I'd say IGN deserve some slack, but that's just not how it is no matter how anyone tries to spin it...
