Montana, thank you for understanding the point. You're dealing with irrational people here. Shit, someone even said they liked Independence Day.

I'll stand by my 8 year old niece's opinion in favor of my own. She loved Rock Band. She played Wii Music for half an hour and called it crap (not her words, that little girl has a mouth on her). After a brief time of Wii Music, she went back to Rock Band and continued to play it for three days until I left (I assume she kept playing it after I left).

Wii Music sucks. It's horrible. I played it for about six hours trying to see if there was a redeeming point in that game. There wasn't.

Myamoto, shark, jumping.

I understand your point, but I think it's unnecessary how you keep bringing up your 8yr old niece. I'm willing to bet most 8yr olds show more interest in the Wii as opposed to HD consoles, so... I'll stand by their opinion? Wii Music is very different than Rock Band, anyway.


I was going to make another point directed to the OP, but it seems rocketpig's first post opened the floodgates to another anti-Wii shitstorm. Any chance this will get back on topic? I thought the thread was focused on games' accessibility.

theres nothing anti-wii here, rocketpig is just stating his opinion, wii boys are just attackin him because he believes in something else.

I get attacked by everyone. At this point, it's actually quite funny. I sit here and author a post while listening to Chopin and get blasted for my little opinions.

I have no deep-seeded links to any manufacturer, I just call it like I see it. Unfortunately, I seem to piss off one fanboy faction or another while doing so.

Rocketpig your opinion is dumb.

Not saying you're dumb, I just want to say that your opinion is dumb. In its face.



rocketpig on 12 January 2009

Well thank you.

It's cool I don't want to take up a ton of your time.

I would be more serious with you, but I find your debating style entirely too confrontational to attempt a serious two-sided conversation. That's not an affront to you, either, I just wanted to offer an explanation.

Rocketpig, opinion, repeating.

Cute. Maybe someday you'll get your own schtick and become wildly successful at it and then, you'll finally embrace your life. What we proletarians call that is LOVE.

Personally i think you don't believe your own perspective (deep down) as much as you claim. Your just fighting for the sake of it and forgetting that Miyamoto is trying to do something different. Its fine if you, like alot of gamers, don't see the value in his approach, but it is hypocritical for you to use one game as the litmus test for the shark analogy. WM is a game that has followed SMG after all, the best game of 2008. btw alot of nintendo fans who like WS and WF don't like WM either but its no reason to forget that only 6 months before this he produced what some claim to be his best game in 10 years.

Your welcome to call people who don't share your views irrational, but it is you who is more irrational for not embracing different perspectives on different games. As a moderator you should be able to know when to quit and in addition know when you are derailing a thread with your views on Miyamoto.

Oh and i bet you a million dollars more Independance day fans have shooters in their consoles rather than Wii Music. That says much more about the core market than you would dare admit.

 



“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.

At least he has one.

Hahah, brilliant. By deciding to not confront me with an opposing opinion, you just decided to call me dumb. I like it. Seriously, that's not insulting you. By avoiding my given confrontation issues, you made your point with a few single insulting words.

I'm all hopped up on cold meds but I seriously loving this. It gives me all this abstract thought that I never considered before this point.

I apologize if I was unclear, but I don't think I was. I said:

There is no part of it that was directed at you. I thought that the "in its face" was nonsensical enough to communicate that the jab was meant light-heartedly. If we are having a communication problem here, I apologize, and I will reiterate one more time:

I meant to suggest, in a humorous fashion, that I disagree with you, but your general style (and especially your current mood) are not conducive to an actual debate.
