Star Fox doesn't have the greatest graphics, but then again I think a lot of people are ignoring that it's rendering two seperate frames at 60 fps in HD. 

The playable impressions from the show floor of the game have been positive, and the reason why I think it will be a good game is because it's the first Star Fox game in 20 years that has central involvement from Miyamoto and EAD. And the co-developer, Platinum Games isn't too shabby either. 

As for GTA ... look, the critical response to it, the franchise longevity as well. It's one thing to say "yeah but Twilight and Justin Bieber are popular too, lulz", but they won't be in 5 years because they're flash in the pan fads. GTA has been going strong for over 12+ years now. The scope of the game pretty much dwarfs any open world game too. 

If it's such a terrible game, why is it pretty much the one IP that Nintendo fans beg for most when asking for third party IP as well? 

Some of the repsonses to E3 are overblown, it's mainly Metroid/Zelda fans that are upset, this holiday season Yoshi's Wooly World, Fatal Frame V, Super Mario Maker, Xenoblade X, and Star Fox Zero are launching between September-end of December it looks like. Maybe Mario Tennis as well.

That's better than any of the Wii's holiday season release periods. 

Well, if those are your criteria, then the two Zelda games on the Wii shouldn't be "generous" picks like you said in response to curl. The same goes for any other longrunning IP that attained a good Metascore. So the Wii definitely had a good amount of great games.

Back to Star Fox, it's obvious that you make all possible excuses to play up the Wii U lineup and all possible excuses to play down the Wii lineup. But that was already clear with your first post in this thread. If somebody throws around terms like "real gamer", "true gamer" or "GAMER", then that's a foolproof indicator for irrational bias.


And I did include both Zelda games in my criteria. That still only comes to 6-7 games total for the Wii. 

The Wii and Wii U aren't that far other in actual quality games. 

Even curl admits this holiday season for the Wii U is as good as any the Wii had in its lifetime. Yet one system is getting crapped on. I'm just calling it how I see it. 

Line up the Nintendo releases for Wii through its first three years to the Wii U lineup in its first three years. The Wii U compares very favorably in terms of actual quality software.
