Forums - Gaming - Why does EGM hate the wii?

Every single story they have is related to PS3/360. Ninja gaiden, skate 2, soul caliber IV, Final Fantasy, Bayonetta. Come on! They have a Bayonetta preview but not a Madworld or Conduit one? Even for multiplats, they don't bother mentioning it. for the madden 09 review, they don't mention the wii anywhere, for the callofduty 5(domestic object section) they only mention PS360 LIKE ALWAYS. I mean, unless there is a PS2 version, they fail to make a simple "also on wii) note. But on the other hand, when the wii is the lead platform, such as for sega superstars tennis, they are quick to mention "also on the PS3". What's wrong with this magazine!? There is never anything positive about the wii. If it weren't free, i wouldn't have ordered it.

Didn't you hear? There's nothing coming out for the Wii anymore.



They chose the Wii over the PS3 in their next gen issue. They chose Twilight Princess as game of the year in 06. They dont hate the wii its just a platform agonostic publication if you dont like it get Nintendo Power instead.



If it weren't free, i wouldn't have ordered it.

wait... it's free?

They are trying to kill print. Cater to only a small portion of gamers (ignore Wii and DS) and sell even less copies.

If it starts selling then they can't collect unemployment and do even less work.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

The funny thing about being the most popular gaming magazine is that everyone is going to accuse you of bias, one way or another. For the longest time, I was sure that the entire staff outside of Shane hated the PS3. They trashed it at every opportunity, and in nearly every article, they reminded you that it wasn't selling well (even if it was outselling the 360). And the issues at the end of 2006 has to be the biggest love-fest for Nintendo that I've ever seen in any publication outside of Nintendo Power itself.

EGM isn't biased even if you yourself think so.



 

 

yeah, but i don't understand the absents of previews for games like tenchu, fatal frame, deadly creatures, etc. I mean, they don't even mention there is a wii version of madden 09.



EGM has never really tried to keep up with Nintendo consoles, I believe their magazine was the one I was reading when I saw this article about how PS2 is more powerful then Gamecube and I of course made fun of it. EGM never really covered GC very well and the sames happening with Wii so whatever.

Even GameInformer is a bit bias like that, the last issue I got in 90% of their articles were about 360/PS3 games, not to say those weren't news worthy cause they were but the thing that irritated me is they had an article on The Conduit that was a single paragraph and had three pictures... seriously they were at E3 they could have gotten way more pictures for a full article.
