"Well, I disagree that they are few companies that CAN make a "AAA" title on the Wii. It's more that few CHOOSE to put forth the same effort to make a "AAA" game on the Wii. I mean, come on, Nintendo practically carried the system themselves. I'm against always thinking the Wii is always a victim, but that's still unacceptable."

STOP STEALING MY THOUGHTS!

May not be my favorite system, but I do see why it hasn't taken off on 3rd party titles like it could have.

Why do you think? I think its because of a graphics whore approach some developers take.

Honestly, I hate that, not because of the Wii neglect (which I hate separately), but because it's the wrong priority. How detailed the graphics are never make a game great, as such games become dated the next gen. It's how great a time you have playing a game, regardless of the content or genre. That's what makes the greats.

Yes, this is off topic, but it shows what matters in gaming. Many games from previous generations got touted as deep art like Heavy Rain, and most are forgotten, with only a few being remembered due to also being great to play (like System Shock).

If Cage focused on a game that was hella great to play first and foremost, any art and graphics added onto it would just be gravy.
