If major support goes to the Wii, you'll just end up having to deal with these same games you don't care for on your own console. Switching to Wii development isn't going to turn on the lightbulb for these developers where they suddenly have miraculous ideas. It will be more of the same on the Wii. If you don't care for online gaming then fine, but that is where the industry is going, and even Nintendo is making slow strides in that direction. Out of everything the HD consoles are getting you're only interested in RE5 and DMC4? So basically just Capcom games then huh? So how is it you like much of anything on the Wii? It shares the same genres that the HD consoles have, just provides a few less games at the moment. You couldn't possibly be excited about much of any of these third party games other than maybe MadWorld. You keep patiently waiting for your support to come, and then you can refill for hatred meter when you realize the games that got turned over to the Wii were the exact same games you didn't buy an HD console for. Take into account too, that my statement was also referring to the fact that the DS takes up a lot of possible Wii resources and probably screws it over worse than the HD consoles do. Crystal Chronicles took a long hiatus on the Wii, but the DS got their version in a timely matter. The Wii got a Castlevania fighting game and the DS got the next sidescroller. The Wii got a Dragon Quest Swords game while Square put Dragon Quest IX on the DS. Think about what the Wii is really losing support to and then think if that little machine is going away any time soon. Everything you said is a valid argument if it's your own personal opinion, but I commented that you were talking about all Wii owners being patient which many aren't and nothing you said in your follow up refers to them at all, just yourself. Oh and please rejoin the Madden topic Oni. I thought you were trying to make a point. |
I don't ask for you to find resolution with what I said, I'd simply ask you contribute more to discussion than simply hiding behind ownership of all three consoles as a fail safe for your opinions, lol.
The DS is more popular in Japan and was more popular when develop for these games began, its not hard to see that even in the second year of the Wii's life that it still is the more viable option. However, don't expect that to stay the same forever and even then the Ds wasn't much better off when it came out, third party support is something it's had to earn. The Problem is you're assuming the Wii would have gotten these games had the DS not been around, its so naive. Who is the DS really robbing games from? Why, look no further than the PSP.
As for me speaking of the Nintendo community here, I stand by my statement, the Nintendo community is patient, just simply look around you. Sure there are Wii owners not happy with the current situation, but simply discussing poor third party support or expressing dissapointment in third party support doesn't make Nintendo gamers impatient, just realistic. Unless people are selling their Wii's in mass out of disgusts or decreeing hatred of Nintendo, I don't see many in the Nintendo community as a whole lacking much patience.
Oh and the Madden topic, you really think that bothers me? I was stirring the pot in hopes of getting people to defend it and get me to like the idea of a Wii Version. I wanted someone to make me a believer in this game and in the end I had no choice but to give up out of disgust! Christ, I'll gladly be wrong anyday when it comes to the Wii getting a good game. Get over it, you're not rubbing any lemons in a wound I'm afraid. Oh, but you tried didn't you, lol. ;)
