| PorkChopTD said: I sorry you just proved me right! A classic game is like the hall of fame for sports. My idea of GOTY is based on pure fun and replay value. That is what the Wii gives. Super Mario Bros games are like. Jack Nicholas is to Golf - Joe Montana is to Football - Pele is to Soccer - Micheal Jordan is to Basketball need I go on? NSMB Wii is plain and simple a better game to more people live with it! |
Replay value and fun are extremely subjective as well. I replayed Uncharted 1 last week for the umpteenth time even though I've played the 2nd. I sold Metroid Prime 3 after going through it once, but I like replaying the original Metroid Prime. I clocked in much more hours in KZ2 than in Zelda:TP, and so on.
Plus, this may come as a shock, but not everybody has a fetish for Mario platforming or many other supposedly timeless classics, especially if they didn't grow up with them. I didn't as I was a computer gamer back in the '80s and while I loved SMG and Mario 64 I find 2d Mario games good, but not so incredibly fun and captivating. I recently tried Punch Out on the Wii and it left me utterly cold.
That's my personal taste and behaviour, and I don't even try to think that it mirrors any absolute truth. What about you?
Btw, you got entangled in your own similitudes: when was the last time Micheal Jordan won a "player of the year" award?
