Hahahahaha this cracks me up. So the Wii is bad because it is trying to change everything up and doing the same old year after year is now garbage? Isn't the Wii bashing mantra usually that Nintendo just takes the previous game, add's a new title and ships it out year after year? Everybody rags on Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc... for being retreads. People bash so many Wii games for being the same old graphics and gameplay with "waggle" thrown on. And yet you're upset that the Wii is abandoning the staples of gaming and focusing only on doing new stuff? |
I don't think he's bashing the Wii at all. He's just saying that what the Wii is doing is making traditional games get a bad rap, even though they're still fun. The Wii is breeding mindsets that screw over what regular gamers are used to. Because Haze is not "innovative" it's crap now. Because Wii Fit is completely new, it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. You see the conundrum? This mindset screws up the entire industry, because if only "innovative" games do well (meaning that the kind of games we're used to do badly), then, as I've said before, "we'll have so many ridiculous genres of games that it won't even be gaming anymore". At the current pace, we'll have a game out of changing he channel.
No one's saying that innovation is bad, but it shouldn't be the standard
