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. |
Hmm, I'm not sure how to respond to your first paragraph, because I'm not certain how to read it. Are you saying that despite their being AAA games that you enjoyed, you don't like them because they're "more of the same", so to speak? That's the only reading I've got that makes the two posts fit together, but it's also contradictory, so...
Anyways, moving on. True, those games all came out within the same timeframe, but you're still missing quite a bit. I'll include Zelda, Gamecube game or not, because it's a quality title nonetheless. Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, Batallion Wars, Wario Ware, Mario Strikers, Mario Baseball, and smaller titles like Endless Ocean and Koripina. There are a few more extra games the Wii has that the Cube lacked at this point, but I think eight titles in eighteen months alone is pretty indicative of quantity when you consider that they're coming from a single publisher.
And I still don't understand your beef with the Wii ___ series. Wii Play and Wii Sports remain some of the most played titles according to Nintendo's user data, and I don't doubt that Wii Fit isn't too far behind. Again, just because it doesn't appeal to you, it doesn't mean it doesn't count. The rest of us have spoken, and while I'm sorry you don't agree, the rest of us are none too fussed.
As to the library of games, do you really want to trot out the same tired argument again? "My subjective tastes favor X, so not-X automatically sucks" just about sums up your argument there. Unfortunately for you, my honest answer to your question is that I greatly prefer the Wii's lineup to those of the HD consoles. Greatly. So it seems our arguments cancel out there. Although we can both agree that the software offered aren't in the same league...
Feel free to keep dropping by the Nintendo forums (it's not like I can stop you). As a favor to us all, though, I ask that in the future you educate yourself before making a claim, and that you not make the error of thinking that your opinion somehow stands in for anyone else's, let alone everyone else's. Enjoy your weekend!
