Forums - Nintendo - My Top Spin 3 impressions, Wii music and misinformed wii core gamers...

Anyway, before I begin this are the posts I made in a thread awhile ago:

1) Dont believe on reviews, Top Spin 3 deserve to have a score of 8.4 atleast and yet reviewers give it lower than that.

2) Buy games what YOU WANT or the MAJORITY wants. Wii play, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Mario and Sonic, game Party, Sonic and the secret rings, carnival games, Wii Ski, etc... YEAH, most of those are casual games and reviewers didnt give those games higher than 8.6 but top Spin 3 have lower score than 8.0. Just trust on your instinct dont get to the hype and dont let anyone dictate you which games are good and which games arent. Its your money after all, if you're not sure atleast rent it or buy a game if it is in a budget price.

3) Try a game which is different genre, not all games are JRPGS, FPS, plaatformers, action adventure games and survival horror. I could recommend you Dewy's Advenure, Boom Blox or Zack and Wiki, dont let the cutesy graphics and lack of blood fool you, its as core as it can be. Atleast just rent it if youre not sure...

Anyway, I will made this thread even before "the lack of mature title thread" this thread is no way countering the last thread. I will made this thread because most of indoctrinations made by gaming sites about a game or genre of games on the Wii  JUST ISNT TRUE... And because I bought Top Spin 3 and enjoyed it, the critics of this game ARE LYING...

Now to the impressions, wether wih added motion plus or not, Top Spin 3 was simply the best representation of Tennis game should look like on the Wii. The controls are inituitive, the controls responds well and the wiimote motion control is like really controlling a tennis racket. The graphics are OK, not that great but not bad either, but like Ninty says, WHO CARES ABOUT THE GRAPHICS. The graphics wasnt an eyesore like what reviewers what you to believe, yeah it can do in PS2 but thats not the game isnt all about. Just play the game, look at the graphics and tell everyone if its bad or not, no it isnt. The graphics was good the reviewers are just exaggeratinjg about the graphics.

So why the harsh criticism about the game? Because like everyone else here in this site, reviewers are biased towards the games on the Wii and theyre hardcore gamers. The reviewers are just afraid like us that casual gamers will take over the gaming community so they review games and score it lower as it should be that have a hint of casual in it. Gaming sites just dont admit it that the industry change along them with it, well guess what the industry will change sooner or later. Im afraid of it too till now but when I bought Top Spin 3 even with harsh criticism about it the change isnt really that bad after all. The swinging was really swing and not waggle just like in Wii Sports and you gesture shots just as like in real tennis game.

I'll make a review of this game when I play more of it.

P.S. I'll comment about Wii music, but I'll post about it later because it will be long post I want everyone to read my post.

Well as for the Wii Music, I dunno its not for core gamer but we dont even know about it yet and we bash about it. Same goes with other casual games 3rd party and Ninty themselves make but according to vgchartz so far:

Big Beach Sports----> 510,000
Deca Sports-----> 720,000

These 2 games are reviewed, and give a low score and yet it sells well same goes for Carnival games, Mario and Sonic and Game Party. This is what Im thinking so far, IF Ninty caters more to casual gamers and not upstreaming them just like Malstrom says what can we do about it? Do we have to whine about it? OK I know, I know Ninty still advertising and making games for the hardcore same goes for other 3rd parties but believe it or not core games are niche right now. Thats why 3rd party themselves highly advertised their games even it cost them millions of dollars because in the long run their games have no legs to run on unlike Mario kart Wii and Wii fit. MGS4 and Devil May cry 4 was one of them, I didnt include GTA IV and Madden NFL because theyre casual games.

we core gamers dont dictate what will happen in videogame industry or what games arent good and what games arent. Even a gamer or a kid/parent buy Ninjabread Man which make DDI a success we dont have a power to stop it. The industry is changing, what Wii core gamers just do was to enjoy the core games that Wii have and dont whine about it and hope that Nintendo will make us a new Zelda, F-Zero and a new Starfox or 3rd parties gives us a new SFIV, KH3 or RE5. it'll not happen, and if it'll happen it will not do them any good in the long run, most core games are niche titles and frontloaded what 3rd parties must do was introduce a new game that could appeal to the casual and the core and not established titles that only a sector of gaming community could buy like what namco did so far...

Bravo. I was hoping I wouldn't have to be the first to say this.

There is just so much wrong with both the OP and the reply about Wii Music, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

You could say that about Wii Music you can debunk that easily, but Top Spin 3? Do you mean reviews were more in matter of opinion than anything? WTF?!!

And yeah, if you've played the game then I could agree with you but if not, then why am I still arguing with you? Im not bashing you BTW if thats what you think.

@onyx---> Have you played the game? I've seen the members here owned the game, only three have it. Atleast the Wii one.

No I haven't played it. However, I don't need to play the game to understand you have an elitist attitude. I'm pretty sure that is what Lafiel saw wrong with your topic and that is also what I see wrong. One of my favorite games is Gungrave. It has a horrible review average. I do not agree at all with the scores given, but I understand not everybody is going to like the game. Do I demand that my opinion is the correct opinion and theirs is wrong, like you are doing now? Not at all. Get off your high horse, because hidden deep within your topic, there actually are some valid arguments and things for discussing.

And yet when someone posts game reviews and hands on here and making it a gospel? Thats what Im discussing here, one game was the Force unleashed, Im even hype for this game, Im the one who posts threads here about the game, and then the review. After the positive remarks about the game they gave it lower than 8, the ironic part is its that review that gamer give basis on "if they buy the game or not"...

And even what had done, and the samba de amigo review, some gamer still posts threads about the hand on and reviews here and someone posts on that review making that article a gospel.

P.S. sorry for the posts so far, and sorry for editing multiple times i just dont know what to post. Im in emotion state right now my hand was shaking right now. BUT... like the Okami review Im angered about reviewers not me have the chance to play a good game because of their reviews.

If this is putting you into the kind of emotional state that would make your hands shake, you may want to reevaluate how seriously you're taking this and gaming in general. Seriously.

Also my response to your new reply is the same as my response to your OP. Drop the elitism, and learn to live with differing opinions.
