The Vagabond speaks the truth. This is a little insulting to the Wii and Wii owners. Also, there WERE scary game before HD systems. It's like everyone forgot that there were good games last gen too. A new generation of systems does not automatically render the previous generation's games obsolete. I mean, we all saw the alleged clip of Dead Space on the original Xbox, right?
But I digress, this is an annoyingly complex chicken/egg situation. Publishers are afraid to put traditional adventure games on the Wii, and a it seems like a lot of traditional gamers have abandoned/don't support the Wii.
I think this generation of consoles is a big transitional phase. The apparent expansion of the market has caused a fallacious hardcore-vs.-casual rift. The Wii doesn't get enough games that do justice to the control possibilities. The HD systems don't get enough controls that do justice to their games.
My hope is that next gen, this rift will be less apparent. I wish game systems were more like dvd players. I might buy artsy-fartsy indie movies, and you might buy an action movie, but we're both enjoying movies, and there are movies for everyone.
