Wii Sports Resort is the new WiiPlay.
(People will complain sales should not count as well) |
And they'll be right, but it just shows Nintendo's genius this generation. They can sell any game they want as long as they bundle it with some controller "upgrade." First, Wii Sports and the Wii just to get the new controller. Then Mario Kart (useless wheel), Wii Fit, and now Wii Sports 2.
Why would anyone own a Wii and not get the game that makes the controller better, or the way it was advertized.

Ok I get what you are saying but come on. Do you mean to say that people buy Mario Kart WII because of the wheel? Sure it´s a nice feature and clever way to market the game but it would be useless if Mario Kart weren´t such a great game.
As for Wii Sports Resort, Wii motion+ sure looks great in my opinon and I would definately get it in itself if good games were to follow it, but I´m gonna get Sports Resort with or without it and I´m sure many besides myself would too.

Yeah, I'd say Mario Kart is more getting people to waste money on plastic to accompany the game, but I know there are a lot of people that bought it just because of the wheel. It worked both ways and I agree with you that it was good marketing. I thought it lacked features that the previous games had, so I didn't like the new Mario Kart as much. In fact, it had 2 fatal flaws: no co-op Grand Prix and no FFA battle mode. Anyway, I digress...

Ok I think we have to agree on disagreeing . Maybe I´m wrong and people buy it because of a "piece of plastic" but I´m sure it would have been multimilion seller even without it. Anyway what makes the game soar to the heaven of gaming for me is the BRILLIANT onlinefeature which the previous games in the series lacks. I can sit for hours racing online, it never get boring, so to me it´s my favorite Mario Kart so far (haven´t played Super Mario Kart on SNES though even though I had SNES , I´m still wating for it on VC).

I was agreeing with you that Mario Kart, out of the examples I gave, was probably leaning more towards getting people to buy the plastic rather than getting people to buy the game.
Yeah, the online is nice, but Mario Party was always a party game to me, and they completely ruined battle mode despite all the awesome maps they included. They also ruined unlocking or me because racing alone is boring, again, despite all the awesome maps. I'm still waiting for a similar Mario Party compilation...
