How come journals don't hype or mention good Wii games.

How come journalist don't hype games...simple, the majority of games on wii are either crap shovelware or average at best, not worth hyping at all, the few games that are worth hyping do get hyped by the media...the problem is that there just so few and there spread apart.

The question should really be, why is there a disproportion of crap games to good games?

Again the answer is simple, in general 3rd parties simply don't support the wii on the same level and quality as they do with the PS3/360/PC, so a majority of AAA games that gamers like end up on the PS3/360/PC, while the Wii simply gets the left overs, which is usually cheaper to produce shovelware from 3rd parties.

Also, the games journalist mainly hype the games that we as gamers like, the games we as core owners would visit their websites to read reviews, in essence they them selvs are targeting the audience which brings them business, and the casuals are not the ones to visit their websites since they have no interest in general.

so what would be the use of creating hype for a casual games that 1) that casual gamers wont take notice of since they don't follow these game sites and, 2) don't appeal to core gamers in general?

my answer is none, the casual games if good will sell regardless of the hype or lack their of, while core games actually benefit from the hype in regards to sales, and that's because we as core gamers go to these sites to find out info, we go to forums to post our opinions on games and such, and we start to get excited about the games coming out...the casuals do not do the same as the core, they won't go out to learn about a game before it's released, for them they'll get a game when they see it advertised on tv or at a game shop or through word of mouth, so the hype of a game would simply not have any affect on them.
