By the way, my earlier post was not meant to flame. Many reviewers said the same things you said about MK Wii as well. I read them, watched some great trailers, and decided that the game simply looked fun. It is! If I was going to worry too much about it being not innovative enough I may have read those reviews differently.

I was talking about specific games with my comparison, not the actual systems themselves. N64 had games that are considered Legendary, and the leap from 2-d to 3-d was really something.

Wii has a chance to be remembered in the same light in terms of being a revolutionary advancement in gaming. In many ways it has already achieved this (playing Prime 3 with the Wii-mote solidified my confidence in this revolution) Even Wii sports, that game has already become what super mario bros was during the 80's.

Some games I feel were better on the 64, some of that could be the nostalgia of seeing Mario in 3-d for the first time, or Hyrule in 3-d. But some of it can be because those games were very special. OoT is the better than TP (imo), Mario 64 is better than Galaxy (imo). But both of those games expand upon the formula that was there and are great games on their own merit. But more importantly than that, the Wii is changing the way we play the game. Motion Controls is the new direction, much like how the d-pad was 'replaced' by the analogue stick.

But, hey, I remember when I was getting hyped for the new Zelda, after watching that tech demo at spaceworld, and then all of a sudden we got "cel-da" and I was VERY pist, but WW ended up being a wonderful game. I was glad TP went back to that art style (and hope it stays there) but my point is Nintendo has always moved to the beat of a different drummer, sometimes they give you what you want, sometimes they give you what they think is best. As frustrating as it can be at times, the bottomline is Nintendo is going to give you something, and 9/10 times they deliver. Of their big guns this gen? Brawl, Kart, Galaxy, Prime, and TP? That's 5/5 so far this gen.

Well.... bye then!!

I can't wait.

Did you not read a single review or something? Pretty much everyone said that AC Wii is entirely recycled material and there's nothing new or worth buying for series veterans. Next time do a little bit of research. :p

I was considering getting this game until I read a few sources saying the game hasn't moved forward at all. I haven't read the replies to the opening post but I am certain there would be a number of people attacking him and defending Nintendo (always happens in any thread which attacks Nintendo in anyway). I am the biggest Nintendo fan ever but I am able to be honest and have an open mind and recognise when they have messed up. There is no excuse for this game to be basically the same as what has been there for several years. This game should have been absolutely huge and amazing but instead Nintendo chose to be just completely lazy. Shame on Nintendo.

If you can't read a review or two then I have no sympathy for you since it was said over and over the game was a rehash. Also, why does everybody feel like they need to complain for no reason? Nobody cares; not us and definitely not Nintendo with their sacks o cash so why do it? Just enjoy the games you have and LIKE to play and try to find out more BEFORE you buy your next game.

Thanks DKII, my point exactly. Every single review of AC highlighted that it was basically a slightly upgraded version of the DS and Cube games, surely if you are going to shell out $50 for a game you do some research first.
