Forums - Nintendo - The Wii Isn't For Core Gamers?

mrkk said:

Not necessarily. By that logic, the DS wouldn't have a great number of good games. But it does, even though the crappy games for it probably vastly outnumber the good ones.
And that list is obviously very incomplete, it's just a few select upcoming titles.

 

(EDIT: @horriblebastard)

I'm not talking about averaging the review scores for the entire catalogue, because then the crap games drag the scores of the good games down. I'm talking about averaging all of the review scores for one particular game, and then doing the same for all games, like MetaCritic do. The Wii has much fewer 80+% rated games than the PS3 or 360. I haven't bought a game for the Wii since Mario Kart Wii came out and that was 4 months ago.

unless Capcom shows what's really NEW about it..I'm not interested...

So I can assume the only game in the list here you'll be interested in is Mad World? That's the only one that doesn't look like something we've seen plenty of times before.

hmmm....I have one word...Mirror's Edge is the only game that I really want...that's not Wii..

all the other games..including RE5...is just an RE4 port...wich looks nicer..and has co-op

unless Capcom shows what's really NEW about it..I'm not interested...I got into RE4 because of the DIFFERENCE between it and the others

 

 

lol your comment is not that good xD so you telling me that Brawl and melle are more different than RE5 and RE4??? plz you cant be such a huge nintendo fanboy to say that, its obvious that the RE4 formula will affect a lot on RE5 because it was a great formula, but from now all nintendo good games have been remakes and minor changes to the formula like BRAWL and mario kart and mario party... and a lot of games, no really big different so plz think before posting

the only game on the wii that changed a lot was super mario galaxy all of the rest same but with improvements



Hey, thanks for letting me know about Runaway. I hadn't heard of this game, and I'm always interested in getting my click on.

I see what you're trying to do Nirvana_Nut, and I applaud it, but you can't stop halfway with such a project! You'll need to add plenty more, like: EA Sports' line-up, Tecmo Bowl, Sam and Max/Strongbad, the two Star Wars games, Sim City, Spore, Call of Duty, Samba, Wario Land, Dokapon (keep on eye on that one!), de Blob, Ghostbusters, Facebreaker, the Bond game, Mushroom Men, Skate It, Castlevania, Rock Band, Deadly Creatures, Animales de la Muerte, Little King's Story(i.e. the second greatest game of the year!), World of Goo, Rune Factory, PES, I Am Alive, Cursed Mountain, and probably a crapload more that I've forgotten about, but which others will happily contribute.

Shoot, if you have the patience, just browse through my thread and see which ones you like (note that there's obviously a few missing, as they weren't announced before E3.

That's quite a pathetic list considering it's spread between 2008 and 2009 releases. This isn't to knock the Wii, but if you were trying to make a point by naming 10 core games over the next 9-12 months, you really didn't prove a damn thing. In fact if I were to go by your list and had no other knowledge of the Wii's lineup, I would say the Wii truly doesn't have much of any "core" games at all.

This post of yours is just a clever tactic to promote your "Xbox360 games in 2008/2009" threads.

All of my posts are just clever tactics to promote my Xbox 360 thread. That's why I keep it in my sig sweetheart, so it can remain a shameless plug for always.

By the way, when are you going to join the Gamerscore League Rol? We all know you stealthly play a 360 all day long. The cat is out of the bag. If you don't understand that phrase, let me show you a picture to help illustrate it.

You see? It's a picture of a cat(the figure on the right) walking out of a gray paper bag(the figure on the left).

animal crossing doesn't count?, it's the hardcorest game I ever played... trying to get a golden shovel or net is hard to get >_>

lol...well thats great. But for each of these titles there are 5 on ps360 that are for core gamers.

Out of the 3 systems Wii is least core thus far...but I don't think anyone is saying it doesn't do core gaming at all.

Isn't COD5 coming out on the Wii? May wanna add that...

 

True, but you can't deny that some of these games look really good. I wish they were all coming to the Xbox 360, my console-dejour of the moment.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Can you post the list of upcoming shovelware, cheap ports, games aimed at little kids, and mini-game collections? I can hazard a guess at which list will be longer.

 

What does it matter, if you don't have to buy them? It's like complaining that you hate sandflies on the Yantzee river, from your living room in Chicago.

WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE HERE?!!!

Sorry for my outburst, but these sorts of threads get really, really annoying.

 

 I could care less about convincing anyone, it's mainly for the people who own wii's who are getting dissapointed by the big N with the overflow of casual crap.



" Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God"

The Wii is by FAR the least "core" console on the market. Unfortunately, posting 6 unreleased games that have a target audience of 12+ doesn't change anything.



# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241     DS: 144

PS3: 152     PSP: 126

Wii: 85
