I agree that Wii has some really great games coming; they're "real" and "core" games, and those terms matter, and greatness is hard to achieve in any other games, and we all know it.  SMG2, Zelda Wii, Other M, the JRPGs, etc.  Sales are a completely separate matter; though great games often sell really well, sales can be much higher for games that merely catch on with a wide segment of the population through word of mouth at how much fun it is to waggle a remote in a certain way Just Dance.

But on the JRPG claim in the article, PS3 has more in the way of JRPGs in 2010 and beyond, and will be an absolute juggernaut in the JRPG department when its time is up.  Even after the next gen (WiiHD, PS4, 720) is fully underway, PS3 will continue to get a ton of JRPGs because its graphics will be plenty "good enough" for JRPGs, and it will have a fantastic install base -- and JRPG fanbase -- in Japan and worldwide.  As for PS3 RPG cost, you don't have to go the Square Enix route and try to make everything cost as much as possible to gee-wow everyone.   So anyway, I don't see how JRPGs on the Wii are really a big factor in why 2010 would be the Year of the Wii -- unless maybe they helped to lure JRPG fans to the Wii when they hadn't been there before, perhaps.

You might consider learning how to do that again, because BioShock is an incredibly immersive and atmospheric game. It's absolutely revolutionized storytelling in shooters. Seriously, it's a video game that draws its inspiration from the works of Ayn Rand, and it actually succeeds. That's an achievement for the ages.



Quality and popularity are only intermittently correlated. Is the best music in the world the shit that tops the Billboard Top 20? Hell no it isn't.

Sorry but since I played Metroid 3 for the first time, can't use the analog to aim anymore. By the away, more then 10 million (including me) prefer to play NSMBW instead of GoW3, how can it be a just good game? 100% Agree. Metroid Prime Trilogy/3 has a great gameplay with the wiiremote.

After Metroid 3, I've been having problems to play FPS even on the PC... Nintendo, how could you do that to me?

Is the best song in the world your best song in the world? If yes, you're an idiot. If no, then which is it? Can you name it?

Hey, they might be good. Everyone has different tastes.

But they're not great games. They're not the best games of the generation. All of those games (with the possible exception of SMG) are on PS3/360.

There are a lot more songs released per year than video games. It's harder to come up with a top ten.

But everyone with full command of their mental faculties knows that Bob Dylan is better than the Backstreet Boys. You may like your Wii, I won't begrudge you that. But to claim that any game on the Wii (above exceptions noted) is a truly great game is folly.

Oh. my. god. Then my so so xbox360 games you named before - oblivion, mass effect -  are now declared great??? Not so many hours of fun and a lot of hours of meh on actually great games??? Jesus, i feel so dumb for not having fun playing them!

I agree with you that there are few truly great games on the Wii (maybe not just 3, more like 6) but you're giving those games way too little credit and you're forcing your opinion on everyone here as if it's fact. Just stop.

(also, Prime 3 >>>>>>>>>>> Bioshock)

And Re4 has a great gameplay for a TPS. Of course Metroid Prime is gigantic. Waiting to play Other M.

You played Mass Effect 2 and you didn't think it was one of the greatest games of the generation? Really? Gonna have to call bullshit on that.

I'm forcing my opinion on everyone here? How the hell am I doing that? Have I got a mind control ray that I am spraying around the internet?

And hey, I agree with you that there are truly few great games on the Wii.
