What is this "new way of gaming" anyway? Is it related to the controller which is so awkward with many of the Wii's biggest titles that after Smash Bros and Mario Kart came out two Gamestops near me were both sold out of old gamecube controllers people had bought to play those games? Is it related to not having voice chat or any kind of matchmaking so children are 100% safe? Is it related to playing slightly updated versions of the same games that were big in the mid 80s and calling them new? I really fail to see where any part of the Wii is new. There were minigame collections, strange control methods (Eye Toy for instance) and childish adventure games long before the Wii came along, I can't think of a single thing that is really new or evolved other then the marketing. |
1. Your 80's comment - Hmm lets do the typical PS3 game hype. MGS4, GTA4, GT5, Devil May Cry 4, GOW 3, gonna stop and not continue. well not all are from 80 or anything like that. But hmm I will leave this thinking up to you to see where i'm going. Would help some of you to think for a second.
2. Did you ever think that all the poeple buying the old controlers were people like you who never give the control scheme even a chance. Pretty sure any new people to gaming don't even know you can use an old controler and prefer the new one. I'm sure majority of the gamecube controllers being bought were bought with the game or before the person had it. Then they played th egame only with the controler without giving the wii scheme a chance.
3. For your last point. Yes pretty much any idea has been thought up before. This however was a gamble to base your system entirely off the control method. Others were add ons that didn't really catch on.
- but beyond that, name what the others did. Nothing. Just bigger hardware so you could make graphics and more enemies and physics and ai. All that was always improved upon in every gen. Even the wii did so compared to last gen.
