Did it ever occur to you that HD games may be better then their Wii competitors and that is why Wii games don't take GOTY? (Besides, last year, the Wii got nothing worthy of the title).

A simple as it is to respond to your post.  Let me start with this.  Will you ever play MW2, Uncharted 2 (blah blee freaking blah) again after MW3, Uncharted 3 come out?  The answer to that is NOPE!

This^^^ is why games like Punch Out, Super Mario Brothers, Metroid, Zelda ect are better games.  The replay value is unlimited and will never go away.  I still like to play NES game from 1985.  Will you ever freaking play the original Gran Tourismo again? NOPE! once again.  HD Games are in no shape or form better than games like Little King Story or NSMB Wii. 

Wow the game looks great!  Oh, but it is the same as every other freaking game with a different story line.  This is where XBOX360 and PS3 are making mistakes.  They need more games like Little Big Planet to compete.  Guess what they don't want to, they want to focus on graphics.  I don't care how good it looks, if I can't figure out the 70 buttons to push

 

 

ROFL very stupid comment. I go back and still play the old GOW's, went back to play UC1 again and had some fun. I have gone back to play Resistance 1 again and have had fun. Hell this week I went back and played RE1!!!! Horrible voice acting but I still had some fun with it as well as RE2. They all have the same replay value any game does. As a matter of fact you still find LOTS of people on MW1 online, as well as RE1, Halo3, even Gears of War 1. Metroid I could play twice at most and I struggled playing it a second time although the old metroids are my favorites and disliked Prime. Old Zelda games I can't stand. The only Zelda games I could play are Ocarina of Time (best in series) and Majora's Mask, everything else points to that series being overrated. You being a DIEHARD Nintendo fan should go play The Magic of Scheherazade, it was a FAAAR superior game to any NES Zelda but went overlooked and underrated thanks to not having the title "Zelda". And that is also another ninty game I could go back and play (yes the music was very good). Xexyz was another great ninty game. 

I am not blinded by the ninty magic tricks of releasing mediocre games and then all of a sudden "OH A PICTURE OF LINK ON E3 OMFG *cries". I sit down and look at NMH and Muramasa (those 2 should have sold more than they did), even the brilliant use of motion controls with RE4 (Wii got the best version hands down because of controls). RE4 is the only game that ALMOST pushed me to make the mistake of buying the Wii (mistake in my eyes but not in the eyes of 65million of course). You make baseless assumptions because you want your beloved Mario, Metroid and Zelda to get all their awards and get tributes left and right but don't recognize greatness in other systems outside a Nintendo system.

Hell I admit ME is a very good game and would deserve its awards even though it's not my cup of tea, but something I can't take away is the fact that it has some great storyline and solid gameplay (music is actually better than I expected it to be). I dislike all things Halo, but I recognize what that franchise did for console FPS's and it's a good series in its own right. 

If you want to look at a fairly reliable and unbiased site, you should check the current Gamespot. They gave good praise to games like SMG and whatnot and they gave the GOTY to a game many didn't expect: Demon's Souls, and yes the game was also better than anything Wii (well not for the casuals as it would be too hard even for some regular gamers).

As for controllers? Last I checked there were quite a few buttons to press for Golden Eye on N64 and that didn't stop it from being a great game. Demon's Souls doesn't go crazy on the button mapping either. I assume you would also complain that "OMG SFIV uses ....6 buttons!!!!"



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
