Daemon Hatfield used to work on IGN's Nintendo Channel. There were quite a few people that had issues with the way he approached/discussed/reviewed games on the Wii. Mr. Hatfield no longer works on the Nintendo Channel, but is still a part of IGN.

Now that he's off the Channel and onto something different, he let's loose with some opinions concerning the Wii. This conversation from the GameScoop podcast includes Hilary Goldstein and Levi Buchanan. You can download the show here and have a listen for yourself.

@42:50

Levi: But if you're a Nintendo fan, how could you have been unhappy that morning.

Daemon: Because the Wii is stupid, Levi. No, because any games that are coming out for the Wii are going to be dumb.

Hilary: The truth comes out now that he's not on Nintendo.

Daemon: Yeah, the Wii is stupid. Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be another great game that should be controlled with dual analog sticks.

@ 43:25

Hilary: The problem with me for Nintendo Conference is that no matter how awesome the game is that they announce, the fact of the matter is that I don't even really care to hook up my Wii anymore. It's been unhooked since Mario Galaxy came out, and I don't really find anything that interests me in playing it anymore.

Daemon: I know. Like even when they make a great game like Mario Galaxy I don't want to hold the Wii remote. It's stupid.

Hmmm someone has some anger issues...

Caring for other people opinions (specially if they're so vague like this one) looks like a new sport in the Internet.

ugh......... getting old

another person who was probably pissed after watching PS360 conferences... Natal and Purple wand to save the day.

He's off their Nintendo team? Great! He was absolutely the worst thing that team had going. I hope they find a non-douchebag to replace him.

And so yet another reviewer comes out about their anti-Wii bias.

By now, people should have gotten the picture: the entire review industry has abused the trust gamers have put in it, and the lot of them deserve to be fired for gross unprofessionalism. Raze the whole industry to the ground and start it anew, with actual gamers rather than these fratboys.

I'm starting to see that to be the only way to save it...if it's saveable...

"Because the Wii is STUPID, Levi. No, because any games that are coming out for the Wii are going to be DUMB."

"Yeah, the Wii is STUPID."

"Like even when they make a great game like Mario Galaxy I don't want to hold the Wii remote. It's STUPID."

Maybe he should try expanding his vocabulary a bit.

Hmmm, so you think somebody who gets paid to write should have a broad and varied understanding of the English language.

How novel.

Wow. I don't know what to say. It's been a bad week with all the Wii hate and Gamepro's Conduit review.
