Which is sad because in Japan alone the only 3rd parties that supports HD consoles are SEGA, Squeenix, Namco Bandai and Konami. Most of the middle tier 3rd parties jump ship already like Hudson and Marvelous Entertainment. Same thing that will happen in NA...

In year 2009 as I predicted there'll be big jump ship with middle tier 3rd parties what SONY and MS afraids the most.

 You're right, but at E3 it was a bit different when Miyamoto was on stage, and was playing alone pressing buttons randomly and creating music. I'm sure that option will be in the game  toy, if not....

too bad even how we bash the wii and its games waggle is where we're heading. Like just the article of malstrom says many will drowned in tidal wave of casuals and its already happening.

If Wii Music become succesful then I must accept that core gaming was dying. Yeah, you just flail with your wiimote and your nunchuck. Sure, the game makes the song for you but what can we do if it become succesful? What can we do if it become another instant multi million seller?

We might just admit that we in the internetz wasnt the consumer of this new generation. Our generation was over, I fully realized it on E3 its sad but its the truth. Even The Conduit and Madworld cant stop it. There are many people playing Wii Sports, wii play, Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii than playing Call of Duty 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, halo 3 and Devil May Cry 4. Its over...

 Are you being sarcastic?

I think Im being overboard there but thats what I feel. Im just posting my opinion...

Well then you are everreacting, I have been playing since 1980 and I welcome the change whoheartedly cause I know there will be a hell of an gaming experience through this course o way that Nintendo choose.

I enjoy all the traditional games just as the next person but we have done this for over the past 10 years.

The way of gaming as we know it today will die out if it continues to be the main focus of all gamers and developers, we will all get bored with time if we continue to play the same games over and over again for anothr 10+ games. The time has come for focus to shift to alternate gaming experience and it will run it´s cycle when it has focus will shift again and we will get back to the way of gaming you are used too and this time it will be reinvented and improved compared to todays standard.

In order for this reinvention to happen it needs to get out of the gaming focus a while, this doesn´t mean that the games you are afraid wil die out actually will die out whey will just not be the main focus for a while just to return better and more entertaining.

We are in the gaming age where not graphics is the main focus of gaming evolution but the much needed controll scheme is instead the focus of gamng evolution and it needs to have it´s course run untill we get the best possible evolution out of it.

So don´t worry and enjoy all the different strokes of gaming you will experience, this is the first generation that will experience this divrse gaming in the whole gaming history and you really need to enjoy it cause it isn´t coming back but it also means that you have to tolerate that not all of this evolution will be to your liking but I am sure you can afford other gamers different then you to have a great gaming experience even if it´s different from your personal preference.

The problem was the transitional stage though, its like when pinball wasnt popular anymore and replaced with Pong. Its good as a novelty before then the repitition and the novelty wears off. It takes awhile before someone create a new genre and space invaders, breakdown, pac man and defender were born. But the first stage of Pong was JUST PONG yeah, it replaced the pinball and its a disruptive product, many creative  minds inspired by pong and create video games behind it but it  started because of Pong. And before space invaders, everyone  JUST PLAYS PONG.

Now fast forward today, everyone just plays mini game collections and party games. I know there'll be a good thing come out of this but when? The transitional stage was really hard waiting what will come out in all of this.

 A better and more diverse gaming experience for all gamers not just us in the traditional way of gaming.

Thats what im thinking in a long time, even when I born and lived when pinballs are replaced with pong, even myself cant think on what genre can be generate on a game that 2 planes moving up and down and  a bouncing block what more in this generation. It seem we have all the possible genre we have what genre can be emrged on the Wii?

But then, thats what happened when NES came around and when 3-d gaming came around. Cant really believe that Super Mario 64 revolutionized the 3-d genre of games...

not for the wii sadly.

one of the promises nintendo make was to get third parties make more mature games.

the thing is third party choose HD over the wii (quite understandable after e3 i feel embarassed of owning a wii and telling people more mature games would come).

this christmas i say suck it and bought a ps3, since brawl hype was over i havent turned on my wii and won't play with it much for a while.

if wii music its their big title for christmas they can stick it where it fit, i am going to play resistance 2 in co op.
