Here's some more Ben Fritz snippets...
About "Mario Party 8":
Graphics are a big improvement over "Mario Party 7," but won't impress anybody who has had a glimpse of a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360.
About "Super Paper Mario":
Players will miss the ergonomic feel of modern controllers for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

This guy is obvouisly a retard. How the hell am I going to miss playing a Nintendo game with 360 or PS3 controllers? |
I don't see what is so wrong about those criticisms. MP8 doesn't have very good graphics and the Wiimote could definitely use a little ergonomic work. It's a poorly designed controller and Nintendo definitely could have done better. I love the idea behind the Wii and it's a boatload of fun but in 2007, having difficulty reaching all the buttons easily or having a controller dig into your hand after a long gaming session in unacceptable.
With that said, I don't see why he constantly compares the Wii to the 360 or PS3. Pointing out flaws is okay; constantly comparing vastly different systems is not. |
The point is that he has to mention the 360 and PS3 on a lot of his reviews. Everyone knows that Wii's graphics will never be on the level of the 360 or the PS3. So why the name dropping? Does he say this every damn time he reviews a Wii game? Does he always mention the PSP whenever he reviews a DS game? It's stupid.
Ergonomics is for women. Do you lift the pink weights at the gym or something? "This hundred pound weight doesn't feel comfortable in my hands" Just kidding :)
Seriously, no matter how far people have come along with ergonomic design... it's going to hurt if you do something for too long. I've played every controller out there for many hours... they all hurt after 5+ straight hours. Oh, I have no trouble reaching all the buttons on the Wii controller with my man hands. You must be playing the Wii with a lot of girls or little kids
