Well, while you're being "forced" to play "casual" games, the rest of us are playing Twilight Princess, Galaxy, Corruption, Brawl, No More Heroes, Mario Kart, Heroes 2 etc.

 

Most of those are first parties though... Anyway, lets admit, our Wiis are gathering dust right now waiting for AAA titles coming at it instead of shovel/casual/port crap, but Im still clinging to the Wii since I KNOW there'll be a good coming out in all of this, I believe Ninty that something good will happen in all of this.

 

speak for yourself, I have more games than I have time to play on my Wii. The only reason dust is gathering on my Wii is because I don't have time to clean it.

 

 

Like what? give me some examples, and why I react this way because Im just commenting about Cal4mity's post, if you read his post Im just agreeing with him.

 


I'm currently halfway through playing SSBB, Mario Kart Wii, Boom Blox, haven't refinished MP3 on Hyper difficulty, wii fit (yes its hard to find time to even exercise with my games).. and beside those wii games i've still got to complete Ocarina of Time Master Quest (which i still haven't finished after 6months of putting it on hold due to a new wii release).. i'm not saying that this collection is enough for everybody, but with my current uni timetable.. i'm really struggling to keep up with the release of games.. maybe that'll settle down a bit for now while there are no new releases, but i expect more to be added by the end of the year


I still have to finish Zelda, EO, MP3, Z&W, MK:Wii and waiting to get NMH, SSBB etc.

But yushire, lets admit, our PS3s are still unbought because of the undesirable combination of "technology leader" and "toaster". I mean eventually the toaster will be doing great cause of all the meat coming to it. or so I sincerely believe and hope. But we have to face reality right now and just admit that we all know that the PS3 is currently the biggest disappointment in video gaming.

Speak for your self :) In the beginning ps3 didnt had the games and wii did, but i am thinking its the other way around lately. Nintendo has blown all there first party exclusives in the first 2 years of there console. I dont know but i dont know any AAAA title coming up for the wii? And im serious with that.

 A quick question: how is it a bad thing that nintendo has in only a year and a half released all of their (regular) AAA titles? Doesn't that just show how good it is to have a wii right now, rather than still be waiting for those AAA titles to come in TBA 2009?

Im not talking about the PS3 though, Im talking about both the HD consoles, and multiplats and 3rd party AAA titles that each are having, though I admit I knew the Wii have more aces on its sleeve and we will see it at E3, but as for now, Wii fans might aswell be happy on the success of the Wii with Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit and prove the press that there negative feedback about the Wii was a moot, and NPD numbers proves it.

Even though deep inside we core gamers longing for AAA titles to come out in the Wii which isnt first party, dont take my word on it ask Sean Malstrom in his birdmen and the casual falacy, he despise casual/shovelware crap on the Wii, comparing it to flash games on steroids proof that theres a problem in Wii's library quality. But he said that this will happen for SONY and Micrsoft to not know what Ninty is doing with these casual expand audience. We will see it at E3.



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Actually, my 360, which I bought only a month ago, is gathering dust. Because I am busy playing AAA Mario Kart online after being very disappointed by GTA 4.

The Wii has had two AAA exclusives so far this year.  The PS3 has had zero.  But, don't worry.  The big PS3 releases are just around the corner and PS3 domination is going to begin then.

I never said ps3 was gonna dominate? I am just saying nintendo blew all there franchises verry fast this gen, Mario kart, smash bros,mario, mario party and paper mario all released way faster then with last generations. Point i have is i dont know of any game thats coming up and is AAA for nintendo, and by your answer not giving any examples i guess you dont have em either. Also ps3 has had quite some good games this year :)  GT5 P , Devil may cry, GTA4,

Me, after playing almost all the great 1st party titles, I still have to bought NMH, PES2008, Blom Blox and still we have to wait for the Conduit, Mad World, We Love Golf [made by Camelot is almost sure it will be a great Golf game] and Blastworks
I'm happy with my PC/wii combo, but lately my pc gaming life is almost none
And finally, i've bought more games that i had on the entire lifetime of any other console i owned, and still i know i have a lot more to play

Games journalists are working their way through the five stages of grief:

* Denial (Wii can't compete with the HD consoles! Nintendo is a laughing stock!)
* Anger (Why do all these idiots keeps buying the Wii!?!)
* Bargaining (Wii is competeing in a diffrent market! We can all live happily together!)
* Depression (Nintendo has ruined gaming! I blame WiiFit! I don't care anymore!)
* Acceptance (Where can I buy a Wii?)

Maybe most were in stage three but with the release of the latest figures now are in stage four.....? :)

haha that was soo funny and true.

 Yep, he just hit the nail.... LOL
