You echo my thoughts. Wii Music had user-generated content. Mario Paint back in the day was the same. Wario Ware DIY is coming soon. I'm sure there are a few others that I can't think of right now throughout the decades that also relied on it. But they are few and far between. Again, I'll have to read the article to see if he's said something new, but I suspect he's putting the blame almost exclusively on Wii Music, as it DID kill the system's momentum (according to no less an authority than Iwata).

If I recall correctly, both Iwata and Malestrom cited the "failure" of Animal Crossing City Folk and Wii Music for the Wii's current relative malaise.
It is ironic that the experimental game -- Wii Music -- is made the "whipping boy" because of its approach of having the user generate content and then decide if he/she is satisfied with the result. Meanwhile, the slightly better selling sequel to a GC title gets little criticism, even though its content is roughly the same of the previous GC and DS versions. It had almost no content.

I am Mario. I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
