I sort of disagree. I find that the internet offers more nuanced positions than in real life. In real life people are more afraid to voice their true opinion on something. Even something as trivial as video games. But that's neither here nor there.
Wii Music does not play itself, that is a fact. It cannot be argued. It's not an opinion, I'm sorry.
I'll give you Sin and Punishment, but how is Monolith not Nintendo? They own them. Why are they seen as being separate? It's like saying "Nintendo didn't make Mario Galaxy, EAD Tokyo did." Nintendo provides the money to the developers, how is that a different relationship than the one the company has with NST?
Again, I and lots of other Nintendo fans have no problem if someone criticizes Nintendo and what they do. I do think that Wii Music failed at achieving it's full potential and I do blame Nintendo for that. But what I don't stand for is Matt Cassa-marasmatas-ssina telling me that I'm wrong for thinking that NSMBWii is good enough for me.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
