This thread is some funny shit =D and I have to speak for Daemon for a sec here, there are people who don't like the Wii, and I can fully understand it, Daemon Hatfield is one of them, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like the good games on that system, good games will be good games. I don't always like what I see on the Wii myself, but that doesn't take my enjoyment away from good games on the system. it is only a problem when people think all Wii games are garbage simply because they don't like the system and ignore the good games on that particular console altogether. Haters are worse than Fanboys and are even lesser a real gamer, keep that in mind =P.

You are right that he has a right to his opinion.

But and does like good games.

But his opinion is that are no good games.

Which basically would seem to invalidate this argument.

go read his blog, I've never really felt his reviews were biased when he was on the Nintendo team, he does have some fav games on Wii.

I read his response. His defense sounds a lot like when someone says ... "I am not against X, I have friends who are X."  His posted game collection shows only three Wii games -- Zelda TP, Metal Slug Anthology, and Wii Sports.

 

But honestly, this statement I think is the clincher: "And the IGN Nintendo team is constantly calling the Wii and Nintendo out on everything that is wrong with the platform."

This leads to two questions.

1. Do they do this for the other platforms? I don't know, I am asking seriously for point of fact.  My feeling is they don't do it as much but I cannot say for any certainty since I don't own the other two platforms and don't follow the traffic surrounding them nearly as seriously.

2. Do they realize that it is selling the most because it is not the other two platforms. That what they do not like may be what the general public likes?

I think he's just a lucky bastard because he doesn't have to buy a lot of the Wii games if he can play them at the IGN office building lol, a lot of them are single player after all or party games, which means he really does love Zelda TP hahaha. I can also tell you that the IGN 360 team is constantly bitching about the 360 as well, it's positive critisism and the PS3 team is a little more defensive because PS3 is dead last but they still mention the need for price drops and say the GO @ 250 is a little meh(the only team on IGN that's a little meh imo, and their podcasts are too loud and annoying lately with all the screaming.) These guys are gamers, they might have preferences on systems or games, but they don't ignore good games on any platform. oh and Greg Miller sucks at the Wiimote, what a little bitch.
