Nobody criticized Wii Music? Now that's a new one! Are you keen on rewriting history no matter what? FYI, Wii Music was one of the main reason "hardcore" criticized Nintendo's E3. Seems like it's also one of the main reason why you and the hardcore still have a strong belief that E3 was an embarassment for Nintendo. IIRC, E3 of 2007 was also thought as an embarassment for Nintendo by the same kind of people. Wii Music or Wii Fit are not an embarassment at all actually, to normal people that is. 3rd parties didn't save Nintendo of anything. Soon, you'll start telling us that the Wii had big success at start thanks to 3rd party. There are already people saying that for the DS. The DS, like the Wii, was made a success by Nintendo alone. Yes it's sad and is even more amazing, but alas it's the truth.
If anything, 3rd parties have started saving themselves from their war of attrition on Nintendo, which instead of killing Nintendo, was killing themselves. I think it's already too late for some of them, but who knows? |
This.
Wii Music is just the Wii Fit of 2008. The reaction is almost exactly the same - everyone hated it, bashed it to hell, claimed Nintendo was abandoning so and so, destroying the industry, etc. Most people came around and/or stopped bashing, although there is a small, pathetic bunch of dedicated people that still declare Wii Fit to be their mortal enemy and still spend hours writing up articles just to discredit it.
Wii Music is pretty much in the same boat, except that music games are much more accepted and this isn't quite as radical an approach to a game as Wii Fit. I've already seen the dedicated anti-Wii Music group say their peace (which suspiciously sounds like all the anti-Guitar Hero arguments), and their arguments are practically non-existent. The majority of them complain that the game 'looks stupid' (where have we heard that before) and mostly criticizes what I find to be the most intriguing thing about the game - there are no music peripherals, it's all done with the Wiimote. Ironically the most vocal haters are the same people that would be bawling their eyes out if the game was packed with peripherals...
That said I'm pretty sure yushire is a concern troll now, his replies have gone into downright delusional territory. He's gone from slamming all 3rd parties to now claiming that they 'saved' the Wii. No one in their right mind would base this on the fact that one Ubisoft petzzzzz game doesn't look like complete ass. I have no doubt in my mind that his posts are meant to get a rise out of the Nintendo crowd, he just pulls his resources from bandwagons. A lot of fools feel "betrayed" by Nintendo from E3, they have little to no presence at Leipzig and the same will apply to TGS, so he's using the backlash to now put some of the most shameless Wii 3rd party developers up on a ridiculous pedestal.
It's getting pretty transparent now
Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"
