Are you tired of the mini game fest Nintendo is giving us? Scared to criticize Nintendo because they may push harder to the left of gaming instead of going right. Well don’t be alarmed you are amongst many of core gamers who feel the exact same way you do.

Its not that I don’t like Wii Play or Wii Sports but that’s not gaming to me.  Gaming is an experience not just a pass time. Games like Zelda Twilight Princess was outstanding and Mario Galaxy was decent but did fulfill my gaming needs. Then Nintendo hit me with game after miserable game and killed any hope I had left with the release of Wii Fit. Huh!  That’s not a game at all.  Has Nintendo forsaken us and if so how can they win us back?

What does Nintendo need to do to win us back?

1. Nintendo needs a gamer controller. Lets face it the Wii-mote is not a gaming controller, it’s trendy, it’s hokey and maybe fun but it is not a game controller. Nintendo should keep the Wii-mote for the casual gamers and build another controller just for us. I like the Game Cube controller but it should only be the alternative controller.
2. Redesign the Nintendo Wii along with the new controller. The Nintendo Wii needs a new design and color for the core gamer. Black is bad ass but it’s severely over done.  I would make it RED.  Red is a serious color you know.
3. Drop the “Wii like to Play” gimmic.  That campaign where families are all playing together is nice but us core gamers don’t care that.  I don’t care about senior citizens playing in the retirement home or the lovable couple playing on the couch.  The new campaign should be with adults from 25 to 42 playing games and loving it.
4. Games! Games! Games!  Even Miyamoto is tired of the casual games and would like start developing for the traditional gamers.  Sony and Microsoft compete for games and so should Nintendo. Having to rely on 1st party developers is what got Nintendo in trouble with the Game Cube, they cannot repeat the same mistake.  So Nintendo go after the  “Bioshock” and the “Final Fantasy’s” it will only help your product.
5. The virtual console is nice but classics are on every console. Nintendo should give us new games on the virtual console. I would love to play “Super Mario Legend of the Seven Stars” but giving me a game like “Carcassonne” or “Texas Hold’em” gives Nintendo an edge.

These are my suggestion for Nintendo. Whether they take these suggestions or not is beyond me but something needs to be done because I am feeling like the Nintendo Wii is not for me.

ok wii doesnt need a redesign and a new controller

Nothing against you, but do we really need to discuss this kind of ignorant stuff? It's the same article every week.

^i think it should die,i wonder why they keep on making em,and from now i wont post these kind of articles anymore,you are right

I disagree with #1 and #2, agree with #3 and #4, and #5 is just stupid since they can just use WiiWare.

"Whether they take these suggestions or not is beyond me but something needs to be done because I am feeling like the Nintendo Wii is not for me."

That's very funny indeed. I really don't think anything needs to be done at all. Don't like it? Don't let the door hit you on the way out. It's as simple as that.

 yeah 3 and 4 i also agree with,they need a different ad campagn and they need to buy 3rd party games

Those 5 points he gave are very interesting... going against all of them is almost exactly what turned the Wii into the success it is. The only thing missing is the complaint about its graphics.

Nah, I think it needs game series like Fatal Frame, Tenchu, Tales of, Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Monster Hunter, Mega Man, etc.


Until we see some of those Wii will continue to be seen as a casual console.

Most of those are pretty much stupid. The only one that isn't is 3. But instead of dropping that, just make ads that target core gamers aswell.

 when they release i think wii will lose some of its casual name,and be caleld for both hardcore and casual
