Casual games = Soulless games. Wii is not for me.

I see what you are saying, I too been impacted from games like FF 8, first game that struck me kinda emotionally because of the story and stuff.

But I played since NES and just because FF 8 affected me emotionally first those past systems gave me lots of fun, different fun. The main thing I see wrong with your post is the limited view, your definition of soul can be different compared to other people but I felt soul playing let's say the new Zelda you mentioned. I just put myself into Link's shoes and get into the world.

Also the main thing I don't like that everyone does is that they disgrace casual games. Yes, there is bad and good casual games like Wii music compared to Pac-Man, I play pac-man on my phone for hours, its' fun, a big story is not needed for a game to be fun.

Pac-man is pretty "soulless" in that it has the same map mostly, simple controls, no story, etc... but the effort I put into it, is the soul. You getting affected about Meryl in MGS didn't affect me at all, you put the soul into the game, the game doesn't have the soul; it didn't change me one bit. I agree in your opinion but all casual game don't equal soulless games and story heavy games don't equal soulful games either.
