Quality being debatable, I won't deign to touch it (although if you honestly believe Metroid Prime 1+2 play like Corruption does, or that Sunshine and Galaxy are the same game, well..... Quantity, though, is an area you could not be more wrong about. It's been just over eighteen months since the Wii launched. Since then Nintendo has published roughly thirty games for they system. If you do the math, you'll realize that's about two per month. Does that sound like the Gamecube's release schedule to you (hint: there's only one right answer, and it is not "yes.")? Even better for Nintendo fans, many of its biggest titles are amongst those thirty (Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Kart, Smash Bros., etc.). At this point, I sincerely doubt that you actually owned a Gamecube, at least during those first two years, because I can assure you the hits did not keep coming out that quickly (or have you failed to notice that Nintendo detractors are now falsely chanting that Nintendo's already run out of franchises?). On a slightly unrelated note, calling Wii Sports and Wii Fit just "tech demos" leaves me incredulous. "It's not targeted towards me, so I'll belittle it" is a very common attitude this generation, but it doesn't make it right. Although I'll freely grant you that high sales do not mean a game is different or new. Grand Theft Auto IV is all the proof you need of that. As for your final coment, I won't be purchasing either of those titles. Instead, I'll be spending my money on a bunch of other quality Wii games. But I appreciate your encouragment, and hope the further delays on your games aren't too numerous this year. Oh, and I suppose since you're done with Nintendo, we won't be seeing you on the Nintendo forums anymore. Pity. |
).Actually Prime 1 is better than Prime 3- IMO (3 had the worse voice overs and was way too linear for a Metroid Game, but 3 is a little better than 2 IMO). And I'll agree that Galaxy is definatley more interesting than Sunshine (visually at least). But really, the overall quality is the same (these are all AAA good games, i.e. same quality as before)- i actually own and enjoyed all of them.
As for quantity, Nintendo may have released more games on the Wii in a shorter period of time (didn't count them so) but what is it they have actually released are similar to the things they released for Cube. Weren't Mario, Metroid, Luigi's Mansion, and Smash Bros all out by the second year? With Zelda they literally took a finished Cube game, made everyone wait an entire year so they could add waggle to it, and then tried to pass it off as a Wii game, (which is BS, the game was built for Cube and is way better on that system). And other than that all they've done is added a few Mini 'game' titles like wiisports and Wiifit (not even a game really, closer to a Workout video) to their library. What games are you seeing that I'm not??
Once again I'll ask you to take a look at the library of games comming for Wii and measure it against Sony and Microsoft's offerings. The software offered isn't even in the same league.
By the way, just because I won't have anything to play on my Wii doesn't mean I don't enjoy debating about all of the systems or the industry in general. Have a nice weekend.
