That doesn't make the game better than what it really is. The Conduit is a big fish in a small pond, nothing more. It happens to benefit from coming out after Wii Speak releases, but shouldn't be given credit for utilising it. If Nintendo had made the good decision to have Wii Speak available at launch, I'm sure many games would have implemented it by now. High Voltage is taking advantage of the bad decisions Nintendo has made and playing up the emotions of disheartened Wii owners like yourself. As an example, here's the difference between The Conduit and the other most anticipated 3rd party release of 2009, MadWorld. High Voltage talks up how Wii owners aren't getting a fair shake, talks about why their games have sucked in the past, talks about graphics, and talks and talks to sell their game. Platinum Games doesn't talk nearly as much, they just show us MadWorld and it speaks for itself. It's the difference between a developer having to hype their game and the game hyping itself. MadWorld is unique and stylish, and would be welcome on any console or PC's gaming library with open arms. Why? Because it looks amazing. The Conduit would get pushed under the rug if it were on any other console or the PC. Why? Because what it offers isn't unique or spectacular at all. Everything it offers takes advantage of the Wii's weaknesses. Poor graphics. Poor online. No voice chat. No third party support. The things it doesn't take advantage of are the things that would make it stand out from other first person shooters. Unique setup. Fresh gameplay. Great story. Robust online. Like I said in the beginning, The Conduit is simply the big fish in a small pond, and as soon as more of those fish enter the waters, The Conduit will quickly begin to show it's age. Bottom line is, if you're going to tell people to buy a game to prove a point, then at least tell them to buy MadWorld. That is the team that is really trying here for something special and irreplaceable in a gamer's library.

1) Nobody says the game is better than it is. We are just saying it is much more than what we are offered. Unlike thee other consoles, third party developers are NOT lining up to create games for Wii. Why is that? Main reason given is they do not believe the games will sell. That alone makes me want to buy this game. Rebellion. And you cannot say anything about how well a feature would be used if it came out on release day. Online has been there since the beginning but look at the multiplatform games that DO NOT use it only with Wii. There is no showing success for WiiSpeak and the fact that this game is giving those, "core" games all they want, why would they not be hyped to buy it? GTA IV was not exactly special, but hey, hype gets you places. Nobody should complain about hype or wanting to buy a game blindly because we have all done those things. Even you!
2) I cannot believe you are taking something away from the game for having good marketing. Zack and Wiki could have used this kind of marketing. Sure I bought it, and a few others as well, but hey, it did not get hyped at all and that is because NOBODY really spoke about it. THAT IS A TRAVESTY! To say, hey, one game will get hype without the marketing while thee other has a benefit of marketing, is stupid, lazy, and crazy. Both games are getting hype because they are both shaping up to be awesome games. Although, MadWorld recently lost points with me, I can see why people are excited by the game.
3) To compare MadWorld, a unique game to a FPS is a little loose and takes from your integrity. In your case, I could say, Call of Duty 4 would not be as welcome as MadWorld would be on any console. That does not make Call of Duty 4 a bad game does it? Well, not at all; rather, it makes it a great game in a crowded medium. How can a FPS be unique in this day? MadWorld has yet to show off the story that makes it, "unique." What it has shown is a game that looks like it is influenced by a certain Rockstar game and Sin City. Not that this is a bad thing. That is all that can be said about that.
4) Your last paragraph is foolish. Why not try to convince people to buy BOTH games? Because then you would have nothing to argue about? Lose, fail, ect.
