I'm pleased to see that you didn't disappoint! Actually, you did a bit (I was looking forward to "Wii ___ games are all the same series!", but you can't win 'em all). I liked the part about the DS (it counts because I like it!); it goes exactly with what I thought you would say. The part about a game not counting as a new IP because I didn't play it was a bit...odd...though.

Anyhow, glad to see that even after your edits I've met your completely meaningless, wholly arbitrary, and thoroughly subjective criteria. Am I to take it, then, that you will retract your original statement, and return to the old (but admittedly completely valid) "I don't like the Wii because it doesn't appeal to me" standard?

Well considering the fact that what I mentioned is true, you got off lucky. And so, I will begin my list war, to make your crappy attempts at winning arbitrary Hell, I'll even add another catagory

Ten Original IP's Published By microsoft on their next gen. platform that are good and are games (see what I did there?)

i c wut u did thar

 

Am I bored enough to get into a list warz, especially when I've already disproven your statement, and you're trying to engage me in a purely subjective area? Nope! But I will make snarky comments!

*list of 360 games*

Don't you agree this just makes your list... I don't know...  you can think of it.

Like something that appeals to people in addition to adolescent males? I guess.

This wholelly supports my point that nintendo rely's solely of sequels.

Hey Mr. Apple! Meet Mr. Orange!

Once again, recall your original statement: "(Nintendo) only keep making installments in games they made 20 years ago" What other developers do has zero to do with that. And, again, this ignores the DS.

Strategyking92 said:

Hell, sony even stepped it up this gen! There is no comparison!

If it's any consolation, the public agrees with the last part.

Strategyking92 said:

I mean, you struggled to name 10 valid ones, where I can name 10 just like that!

*Games>Wii>Published by Nintendo*

A heroic effort on my part, I'll agree (?)

I got these without even trying

I sincerely hope so.

(hell, I even didn't name something you haven't not heard of).

Refresh my memory: what's "Folklore" again?

I dislike the wii because of nintendo's nonexistant 'seal of quality'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Seal_of_Quality

"When the Official Nintendo Seal of Quality was used, the meaning of the seal was explained as follows:

"This official seal is your assurance that Nintendo has approved the quality of this product. Always look for this seal when buying games and accessories to ensure complete compatibility with your [name of Nintendo system]."

This meant the cartridge worked in the named hardware; it had nothing to do with the quality of the software."

and nintendo rarely lets you see anything you haven't seen before on it.

I struggle with how to respond here. Do I point out the obvious fact that the Wii has far and away the more innovative games this generation, an opinion echoed by Valve's Gabe Newell and the legendary Will Wright (amongst many other notables)? Or do I point out that nothing in either of your lists is particularly new, and that they're just shinier versions of what we've had before?

Meh. I'm getting bored with you already, so you choose.

The HD consoles on the other hand, spawn great first  party series. With more to come (Heavy rain, alan wake, so on and so forth)

Heavy Rain's promising, even though I fear it'll fail to follow through on its promise. Apart from that, you'd be surprised by how little interest I have in those lineups.

Hey! Maybe I can take my valid, subjective opinion, and make it say "HD consoles suck lol!!1!" You seem to be enjoying something similar, so there's gotta be some fun in it, right?

Strategyking92 said:

It's not only that the wii doesn't appeal to me.. Back in the ps2 days, you got many great news series. And the wii, although outpacing the ps2, will not spawn 1/2 of what it did.

Despite there being zero indications that it'll actually happen I, too, expect this Wii fad to die any day now.

Strategyking92 said:

Quote me on it, if you wish.

Bookmarked!

Strategyking92 said:

All of this is completely valid. You almost failed to name 10 original IP's nintendo has created, while I easily named 10 published on both HD consoles. I think this speaks volumes.

So it does, my friend, so it does.

But I don't think it's anything you want to hear...
