Wait, let me get this right... there are people in this thread who only care about new characters and settings, but not new controllers that create new ways to play games and lead to new types of game design? And they bought a Wii?
So when Star Fox came out, instead of going "Wow, a new type of chip that allows SNES games to have 3D polygons in an on-rail shooter!" we were going "Fuck yeah, a new talking fox!!!"
When Super Mario Bros. first came out, nobody was going "Wow, a scrolling platformer with amazingly precise controls, great music, and tons of invisible secrets!" Instead, people were going "Hey, that mushroom thing has feet and that turtle has wings, these new characters are soooo awesome!"
When Super Mario Galaxy came out, nobody went "Wow, look at all these amazing new level designs and power-ups! This game has everything!" Instead we all went "Oh no, more stupid Mario. Not again."
And every time a new FPS comes out, you all go "Hell yeah, a new type of Nazi!"
What's next? If somebody tells me that Sports Champions is more innovative than Wii Sports because it has new characters instead of Miis, my head's going to explode.
