Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why do Wii owners buy crappy games???

Want more games?

Stranglehold, Fifa, Need for Speed : Prostreet, NBA Live, Two worlds..........



Around the Network

I'm a casual player, I generally play maybe 5-10 hours a month. Casual players like games that:

A) Are immediately easy to play, no time required to master the controls.

B) Do not require any time commitment

C) Do not have a story, or at least, not one you need to remember.

D) You can play with others(in the house), or alone. Online cool but optional.

Why? For me, most of my time playing is in 3-30 minute intervals, and I may not play the same game for weeks. So if I have to go back and relearn anything to enjoy it, it's not going to get played.

How do games like

M&s olympics, wii play, mario party 8, links crossbow training, pokemon battle revolution, and the Rayman games sell so much despite horrible reviews.

Also I can honestly say I have played all of those games besides he 2nd rayman game and think they all suck yet they sell so darn well. Nintendo has you guys hooked on something.


They can afford to buy crappy games because they didn't spend $400+ on a crappy console.



That sounds kinda harsh.  I'll add an emoticon for good measure.

I own a Wii... and i must say, i only have 2 games, SMG and Metroid... all the other games don't appeal to me... like Zack and Wiki... The game may be good, but it doesn't catch my attention... wii makes like "Happy" games... while im more interested in Shooters, racers and stuff like that.

 Your words ( of wisdom ) sometimes really hurt, you know!

I've played all those games except Link's Crossbow Training and Pokemon, and they are all fun to me....

Why do moviegoers keep watching the same rehashed romantic comedies, slasher flicks, and special effects blockbusters? They get crappy reviews, but people watch them anyway.

The cause is the same for both entertainment markets: Fun.

Hahahaha... this is silly. I have the games you've listed as well as many of the best games ever made. Do I think the games are garbage? No... why? Simple, the games offered a fun experience. I would not have purchased Wii play if it hadn't come with a remote. The rest of the games I bought without regret. Each is fun in their own way.

I doubt you could go through my games list and seriously question my tastes. My games list is well rounded and I had fun with each of the games I own in my own way. I enjoy a nice wine with a case of beer. Maybe you guys should try it sometime! You might find you like a bit of everything as well.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
