A lot of mags and newspapers are going under. It isn't Nintendo's fault. The economy is slowing down so ad revenue is down. Of course, the main reason is because less people read mags and newspapers now.

Nintendo, if you want my money, you need to make a high-quality, first-party (not any of your crud satellite developers like Ambrella/NST; I mean EAD, Retro, IS or similar) title for the Wii or DS that is aimed at an experienced gamer in a traditional genre. If you don't feel my cash is worth your investment, that's fine. But at least come out and say so. Don't leave this market in a state of perpetual waiting. |
Readership dropped because videogame magazines are about as modern as horse drawn buggys at this point.

No, I'm pretty sure Game Informer called dibs on blaming Wii Music if they went under.

But the Wii doesn't have downlodable demos.
(Does it?)
Love how trestres wants to post an article that blames Nintendo's new direction instead of blaming the real source of the issue, people don't buy magazines anymore, it's all on IGN a month ahead of those out of date magazines. Nintendo Power has stayed around for a reason though and it's not about the games it's about the community it's built that reads it and has always been its idea its the only way a gaming magazine will ever survive now they have to give a reason to read that websites don't give.

Got me. Just sayin... they could maybe get some demos going? I don't know.
I wonder how much lack of demo's is hurting Wii softare sales anyway.

lol, i was singing that in my head since the OP!
...if you're going to report on modern tech type item, you might want to try a modern tech type median. kind of goes hand in hand don't you think?
That's got to be the most blatant obvious false excuse ever haha. I mean seriously who are they trying to fool.
| Wiped said: ^ No, Metacritic averages are just bogus. You cant possibly agree with both the 92 at the top and the 58 at the bottom. Perhaps you buy the game, and you lean towards one or the other. If you find one publication that you have trusted and has steered you towards many good games, then screw the metacritic average. It's made up of lots of reviews you wont agree with, but you will never know because they put you off the game. |
Sorry, but you didn't understand my post at all.
You said reviewers that you trust are better than the Metacritic averages. But that average isn't based on random numbers, but full reviews. People looking at reviews online don't just look for the average of every one, you can click and read a full review online you know. How is a published review different in that matter? If they get added to Metacritic it means they are somehow invalid and lacking substance in your opinion?
