Hold on, I'll link http://kotaku.com/351840/2007-european-hardware-sales-as-guessed-by-ea 4. Well, I think some of them could be interesting, like the goggles for headtracking, perhaps. There is no excuse for them to be so heavily criticized in the title for the article, imo. 5. Yes, but last week Kotaku started the "Nintendo you've gone to far" and unfairly classified the Japanese based meditation minigame as "Wiifit is a game where you set still and don't move...how fun." paraphrased 6. 2 seperate stories and a segway. However, it was the "final word" type sum up of the online that got my panties in a bunch, as if it had already failed to have an online mode. 7. It's from a story that says Patcher says the Wii will lose in worldwide sales by 2010. Out of the 5 page article, the only quote that could be considered pro nintendo is the one that was purposefully quoted and replied too, by Kotaku. Its in response to the very first sentence in this topic. 8. It certainly doesn't put them on board with most industry reviewers or Nintendo fans, who actually kinda like those games. It proves nothing, but..ya know. "Mario and Zelda again, Boo!" is number 2 out of the fanboy playbook alltime countdown. 9. The online community is so anti-wii because of the nature of the site, and not the other way around. The same way this sites community is pro Wii due to the nature of videogame sales atm. imho. The thing is, I looked for anti 360 and PS3 articles over the 4 backpages I checked to find those about Nintendo, and I found: A. A lamentation about how the 360 could have gotten NMH. B. A rumor about the PS3 getting slimmed down. C. A RRoD article that isn't critical of the RRoD. D. This comment about the Wii, which I missed initially: What the hell, Xbox Live Arcade? I was playing Sudoku on my PlayStation 3 within weeks of the console's release, and of course the Wii isn't powerful enough to handle Sudoku (kidding - don't kill me), so what's your excuse? E. An article about how head tracking should come to the PS3. F......... ............ Wait man. You know what. Kotaku is biased against the Wii. I can't find one damn article saying anything negative about the PS3 or 360, or anything really positive about the Wii. I mean, I never realized how anti Wii this site was until I made this list and then looked back over it for digs against other system. It's downright depressing. I've changed my stance. This isn't an opinion anymore. This site is terribly biased against the Wii and Nintendo, and makes no attempt to hide it. |
- Just because you like Jaffe doesn't mean you hate Nintendo, it just means you acknowledge Jaffe is a character and people like him for whatever reason. He speaks his mouth and when he speaks funny stuff comes out. I think Jaffe is a funny guy, does that mean I hate Nintendo?
- So they are critical of everybody?
- Oh, so since they're reporting on gaming news they're biased? I'd be more worried if they pick and choose their stories rather than report on everything.
- I'm sorry, but if you can't see how ridiculous those patents are, then you're crazy. I'm sure they could be made into something cool, but that doesn't change the fact they're funny and deserve to laughed at.
- So since someone doesn't like Wii Fit they hate Nintendo? I don't like Halo, does that mean I hate the 360?
- I think you took that story too seriously. Are you telling me that you wouldn't be annoyed when you have a game you've been waiting for a long time that had the promise of true online play and you couldn't take advantage of it? If you actually look through the site, you'll notice they actually do a lot of praising of SSBB too, how can that be if they're anti Nintendo?
- Once again, link please. I would love to see the context rather than you explaining it.
- Um, as far as I remember they loved Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess. Also, it's a good thing when a news source doesn't just go with the flow and actually say what they think.
- No, that's just their community. Is VGChartz pro Wii or is its community pro Wii?
I think your biggest problem is that you take any attack on Nintendo way too personally. For some odd reason you think that since they like Jaffe or because they mock funny patents that they are for some reason biased. Furthermore, you think that since they comment on gaming news, they're even more biased.
Please let me just set this straight: all that doesn't mean they're biased.
If they chose to just highlight negative Wii stories and then positive, say, PS3 stories. That would be biased.
Oh, and nice research. According to you Kotaku would be the following:
Pro Wii Biased:
Right Now Bashcraft Doesn't Hate Wii Fit
Rock Band confirmed for Wii and European Launch (it focuses more on the Wii than the EU launch date, OMG Wii bias!)
Club Nintendo Zelda Statue is a False Idol (talks about the awesome statue and the insane amount of points it takes to get).
Does Super Smash Bros Brawl Actually Deliver? Yes, according to the article.
Super Smash Bros in the House Not much of an article but sure seems like he's excited. Why would he be excited for something he hates?
No More Heroes Could Have Rocked the 360's World Sure, it talks about how NMH could have went to the 360 but also goes on to compliment NMH.
Jaffe: Here's My Godddamn Wii Controller Bitches
Kotaku Nintendo bias confirmed.
