Forums - Nintendo - #1 Wii Article of the Day: "Wii Sports isn't a game, it has no story"

Books and movies should have stories. Games should have fun gameplay.

Not to say a game can't have a story but that's not the essence of what a game is. Where would we be today without Pac-man and Space Invaders?

Haha, I agree, Mario Sunshine's story was so bad I was embarrassed to watch it - and I was the only one in the room.

One of my favorite things about Super Mario Galaxy is that its little prince ripoff storyline is entirely optional.



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)
PC: 10^9
Wii: 10^8

MLB 07 has the best story of all time.



4 ≈ One

all sport games,such as FIFA and NBA,got no story so that means all of them should not be called as games.

People who wrote this "article" are just really sad and bitter, i dont really know why they take this issue so Serious, Wii sports is a good game (and  good sports games do not need story, look at all the sports games like Madden or Fifa or even games like Gran Turismo)  they just trying to find another reason why wii is not "HARDCORE".

 

Its not like anyone forces the "HARDCORE" to play wii sports.



I would choose tetris over any other game today if I were alone in a island.

And guess what, no history at all. You don't even use a char. =P



Typical "professional" video-game journalism. In other words, worthless crap that falls on its face under even the slightest scrutiny. If you want anything remotely approaching fairness these days, you need to go to people who aren't paid to market games.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

omg, liek meteos has teh greatest story EVAR!!!

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 m$ lol /sarcasm
