The Wii is the second coming of the Famicon.

Wii owners will agree , 360/PS3 owners will disagree.

Good day sir.

Much like 'old school' gamers didn't initially like the NES approach (as noted in the initial post).  History repeats itself, except this time the 'old school' gamers of today still have viable systems.   

Antithesis.  It's a rhetorical device.

Fixed.

Nice read, I hope more people read this with an open mind...

Standing up and waving your hand at a TV screen to play a game. That does not sounds like much fun to me. I much rather play a shooter game on a HD console or PC.
But to other people including once non gamers (soccer mums, girls, grandmas and grandpas) and casuals the Wii is a breath of fresh air. It brings people to play games who like the idea of the motion control.
Each to their own opinion and tastes. A boring world it would be if we all had the same interests.

yeah that's admitting that nintendo did anything new here, which I strongly disagree with.... they used concepts more than 10 years old and packed it up in a super game cube basically.... and you have to enjoy the game library... getting the casual scene and being number one in sale, doesn't make you a good product... a top of mind brand a number one in market share maybe but that's about it.....

nintendo is good at implementing concepts, and to adapt their old IPs to it...

He put ruined in quotation marks. Its a good title, with a good post. Nothing more to it. Also it gets people to click it.

Nice read.
