Although it'd be impossible for me to prove otherwise, I'm a Wii and PS2 only user right now, and I got my Wii almost a year before PS2. I do have PS3 bought, but it's a Christams present, that'll have to wait for a month or so. The Wii we bough was for both me and my son, and until the early part of this year, it served purpose pretty well. Nintendo was releasing iupdates to their big franchises on a pretty regular basis. The morning of the E3 conference, I was all giddy and waiting for the big announcements to come. At the time I felt like there had not been a lack of news from Nintendo, and that had to be because they were holding everything back to drop some big bomnshells that day. And then E3 debacle happened, and I realized Nintendo had decided to only pursue the path of maximum profits. There were only two real 1st party games shown, and while Animal Crossing is one of my son's favorite games, but I was never a fan of the gamecube and DS games, so this one would not be for me. And Wii Music list of feasures felt all wrong, sounded worse, and looked poinless. The October conference you mentioned looked better, but those are the games for 2009. That's almost a year with nothing that I like except Wario Land, which is OK, but not quite innovative.
While I am frustrated an Nintendo, I am even more mad at the third party developers, who never seem to give the Wii projects to their A teams. Almost always, these are contracted out, and then botched. If you call me core biased, you bet I am. I don't necessarily want to see Fallout 3 or Cysis level graphics on the Wii (my PC will do just fine for those), but the original XBox ran Half Life 2, so it should be no sweat for the developers to make something like that for the Wii. Where are the efforts? Why does Square Enix not want to do a Kingdom Hearts 3 for the Wii? There are a handfull of projects that look ggood, but after seeing the ratio of games that look good in the preview, but not so good after release (e.g, FOrce Unleashed, Alone in the Dark, Red Steel), I know that not all of them will end up as good as hoped. Last generation the leading console got the shovelware and the good games both. This time around the Wii owners are only getting the crap, and not the good stuff. The whining will not stop until I actually have several AAA Wii games in my hand. |
Do you even not know that the Wii isnt barely 2 years old? and we knew even with any system that flood of AAA games comes out in its three years of console's lifetime. If you wait a year more then you have the games you want on the Wii but we knew that 2 years of console's lifetime the games are more experimental and 3rd parties just test the console if there games sells or not.
PS2 when released became popular not because of the launched games comes out on the system but because its a cheap DVD player, just watch videos of it on play value and youtube if you dont believe me. The PS2 became a game system after its three years since its released... you should just wait more
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
