It's the franchise everyone loves to hate, even among Nintendo fanboys. But for every one of these games that gets made, how many must have been rejected? Let's see what we can come up with. Some of these are tasteless, but this is part of the point, given that the premise behind Imagine seems to be that all jobs are easy and consequence-free.

Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
