So true. Unlike WiiSports, Madden as one of the best stories in gaming.

The story of a company's quest to make loads of money by rereleasing the same game year after year resonates with people of all races and creeds.

the Madden series has a better story than the FF series.

Most definitely. It is called the "Neverending Story".

1988, 1989, 1990, 1991,......2000,.......2008....

I'm more than a little upset by the news of Wii Sports taking the top sales spot from Super Mario Bros. Suffice it to say that in my mind, regardless of sales, Wii Sports will never compare to any fine franchise and to compare it as such is an insult to those titles. 

Wii Sports?
Wii Play??
Wii Music???
Wii Sports Resort????

I blame Wii Fit!!!!!



I Blame Wii Fit!

It seems like he's arguing that it's not the best game ever made even though no one claimed that it is. It only sold the best.

But being sold the best somewhat means that is a good game for most of the people. You can say the best game ever is Zelda OoT, but to me it wasn't that good. Is very subjective. But is very objective to state that most of the gamers of the world bought the Wii along with Wii Sports because the game doesn't suck! It actually rocks!

I want to know what the call this year's Madden. Madden 10? Makes it sound like the tenth one. Madden 010? That looks like binary. =P

Wait, has this guy never owned a console prior to the NES? Almost none of them had stories, and if they did, they'd fit the entire story onto one page of a booklet

The thing that gets me is the progression argument. Of course you progress, competitors get more difficult (baseball is near impossible), bonus games, beating times and scores too.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Checkers has a great storyline
