Forums - Nintendo - The Wii is Nintendo's b*st*rd child...

I find it amusing that you use "statistical data" to back up your argument.  According to statistical data GTA IV is nearly perfect and we all know that isn't true.  Get an opinion for yourself and don't trust the collective of reviews.  What are you the Borg?

 

No game is perfect. I claimed that Nintendo's Wii games did not suffer a drop in quality in the latter half of the Wii's life, and backed that statement up with average critical opinions. You claimed that said games were inferior and offered no evidence at all to support your claim, merely dismissing most of Nintendo's releases in that time period, often for petty or ridiculous reasons. It doesn't matter what your opinion is of those games, because critically they were generally better-received than their earlier counterparts. You say the games were inferior, and that may be your opinion, but you are as factually incorrect as it is possible to be in such a matter.

 

If you want my opinion, I could just as easily make up some nonsense opinion that most of Nintendo's pre-2009 Wii games were awful, and their later games were amazing, and I'd be just as wrong as you are now.

 

You did your own argument more harm than good in your last post. Previously you claimed that the Wii's dramatic decline was due to a decline in the quality of Nintendo's first-party software. However, now you even dismiss early-Wii-life games, including Mario Party 8, Wii Fit, Endless Ocean, and Wii Play. How does Endless Ocean 2 represent a decline in software quality if its predecessor was just as bad, if not worse? And you still have criticisms to make of Xenoblade, despite admitting earlier that you only played a little bit of it; I wonder whether you haven't played some of the other games you criticized here?

 

By the way, Galaxy came out in 2007. Galaxy 2 came out in 2010. There WERE "a few years" between them.

this, upon looking at all the years. the last few are not that different from the first.  08 was the only year really where the Wii really has alot coming out. Maybe people just lost interest in the damn thing.

Its nothing new, Nintendo was always known to abandon support on a system when the successor comes out. Expect Wii games to go fully digital on the Wii-U eventually.

This is true, but they definited started putting out less quality stuff earlier in this system's lifetime than the NES or SNES.  I thought that they did this with the N64 and GC since they didn't sell the way that Nintendo intended.  Maybe it's just the way that they do things now.  

I just find it odd since the Wii was a sales beast when they turned their backs on it.

Yep completely agree with you, compared to the SNES and N64, the Wii had less number of stellar titles. But what the wii lacked in software, its hype and gimmick saved it since it attracted a huge number of people who usually didnt play video games.

...and it's even weirder to me that Nintendo looks as though they want to turn their backs on this group that they attracted.  They're acting as though the Wii was a failure and that they desperately have to change their strategy.
