Personally, I think the video game industry is stagnating due to the vast majority of publishers insistence of producing an endless barrage of sequels. I wish creativity and originality would become common-place once again.

 

Ahem… did you hear about something called the Wii… DS then?

 

Out of the top 10 Wii games on Gamerankings there are 6 sequels and 2 ports, that's exactly what I was complaining about. The DS isn't much better but I will be buying one for the fine adventure games. Overall this console generation is still pretty weak in terms of new IPs.

You're right. I don't know how anyone got the impression that the Wii was swimming in original titles.

 

Well talking about how you play games the Wii has the most original way of the three. Mario galaxy is old but the concept is new and refreshing. Not like anything I have ever played before. Have you tried it?  the same thing can be said about other games including the DS. but mario is the most

 

Nice way to save face, but that has nothing to do with what the OP is talking about. He said sequels. Mario Galaxy is a sequel. It doesn't matter how you play it, it's still a sequel. So are most of the other well reviewed and most beloved Wii games. Also Mario Galaxy barely use the Wii remote and is probably not the best shining example to use there. The main actions of running and jumping are still mapped to a button and analog stick and most of what makes the game fresh are the gravity laws and how they affect Mario and the surroundings, which have nothing to do with the remote.

 

Sure you got me there.
