Even if they were OK to good games is it a reason to celebrate games that clearly had little investment made into them sell so incredibly. Again I left out the good games not to imply the Wii doesnt have any good games that sell. Fact of the matter of those top 10 games 6 of them are mediocre at best and yes that includes Wii Sports. No I havent played all of those, but how many bad games on the 360, PS3, or previous generations have you played? Just because for some stupid reason or another a mediocre or bad game sells incredibly well on a platform are we obliged to play it so we can say it is indeed a mediocre or bad game. I didnt play Too Human on the 360 and willing to say it is mediocre. |
I can absolutely guarantee that Nintendo spent tons of money on Wii Sports and Wii Play. Nintendo makes really weird and freaky-deaky decisions all the time, and while some are huge successes and others are huge failures, none of them are mistakes. They wanted Wii Sports to be the game people would see in the corner of their eye in a mall kiosk and go "Holy shit it's real bowling and golf and baseball I have to have it!" and they wanted Wii Play to be practically an edutainment game that teaches you how to use the remote.
The reason Wii Play was the "how to play with IR pointing and motion sensing and buttons together" game was because it designed from the beginning to be the game that comes with the 2nd controller. The nerd in the family with the Wii already knows how to play games, but if they want to play a 2 player game they need 2 things: another controller, and an opponent who knows how to play. Wii Play will teach their non-gaming friends how to play, so they don't go "this turd has 30 buttons on it, I'd rather play Snood." It's a brilliant gaming strategy, marketing strategy, and market-expanding strategy. I really wish it came out earlier, because by the time it hit America I already had 4 controllers, and I think it's really fun.

And here you're dead wrong. Best originaly screenplay is in the bag.
