Sony cry: Wii is Just "Impulse Purchase"

[Kwaad]

superchunk said: Kwaad, you mention only two games of intrest to you in Nintendo's lineup. I am assuming you just don't like the classic Nintendo titles like Zelda or Mario? What about SM Galaxy. Every editor I have read said it is on par with SM64, you mention it was the last one you liked. What about red steel, wii sports or play, battalion wars, Dragon Quest, Project Hammer, Sadness just to name a few of interestingly fun games. Plus the many multi console ports that I think will play better on the wii, though not look as good. I prefer great gameplay and good visuals over good gameplay and great visuals. I agree with you on the 360 and borrow the unit that I bought for my little brother every so ofter when a good games comes out like gears of war. However, on the PS3, all of there once great exclusives are jumping ship and becoming multi-platform items. There are only what a few exclusives left that aren't published by Sony? In terms of ports, Nintendo has the best situation. Xbox has only 2 geat IP's that are MS published, Gears of War and Halo. Sony has about 4, and Nintendo has 10 or so. All of the 3rd party devs are starting to put ports of their best items on all machines because building games is just too expensive to keep it exclusive, plus porting to Nintendo is the least expensive option. As Wii's base build to nearly match that of 360 by years end you will see 3rd parties have ports of all of their best titles to 360 and Wii and Sony will have no more 3rd part exclusives. Sony will be in 3rd due to it not having a much greater hardware tech than 360 and those that want visuals will buy the less expensive maching that has all of the same games. The 1st/2nd place will be between 360/Wii. 360 for hard core, who will also pu probably all machines anyways, and Wii for casuals and families. That might put Wii in the same boat as DS, which is a great arguement to show that Wii could very well blow them both out of the water. My personal prediction.

Zelda is multiplatform, so it does not count. Watching the video, The new mario is just as much about controlling mario, as controlling his new little fairy friend, he stole from zelda. Since when did mario have fairy friends? Since when did mario fly in space? SSBB and Metroid Prime3 are the only 2 games that are on my must buy list for the Wii. I was hopeing for a more traditional mario. That's what I want. Mario rideing yoshi through a level eating mushrooms, getting big, spitting fire, jumping down sewer pipes, and flying with his yellow cape. Possibly even allow you to get diffrent color yoshi's that have diffrent attributes... kinda like SMW. Watching what I have seen it looks like it might be the most fun mario since Mario64, but it's another 'mario sunshine' to me. Mario sunshine was fun. But mario was never a fireman. Red Steel is horrible. 2nd worst game I've played in along time. Only beaten by NFSwii. Wii sports is fun, but it's too small, and not enough... meat... for me to consider it very imporant. The theory is there. but that's it. Dragon Quest is a big one, but on that point I like Tales, and FF the most. Your multiconsole ports are questionable. Check this. http://wii.ign.com/index/release.html the PS3 has almost that many exclusives. I dont think it will get too many ports, becuase the graphics are so far down, they will actually have to build it a second graphcis engine/texture set. wich makes it the MOST expensive to make a port to. Not to mention trying to figure out how to implement the controlls for the Wii. And Batallion Wars. would be great with online play.(really great) If it does not have online play, or it uses Nintendos online service. I wont buy it. (hah, nintendo is makeing it, so what is the chances it wont use their grabage. so I plan on not buying it) the x-box has more than 2 great IPs. And I dont consider GoW one of them. I have both Wii and PS3. I'm buying the good games for the Wii. I just plan on buying ALOT of PS3 stuff this year. The Wii has maybe 3 or 4.
