Well, it is a Nintendo game. What did everyone expect?

Now that's not fair, Nintendo still makes a lot of great games.

WTF? You're joking, right?

They've made the best game this gen.

Funny how the thread reviews for Punchout! didn't get NEARLY the attention...

Because Punch Out!! got good reviews. Fanboys ignore good reviews because it damages their theory that the whole world is biased against the Wii.

It makes perfect sense.



I don't have patience to read the whole review, but the part about the swordfighting is just weird.

Three quotes from that part:

The problem is that you can move your sword so fast

...

Honestly, Nintendo really should have given us proper 1:1 control and slowed the gameplay down.

...

We want epic swordfights where split second reactions count


Am I the only one who sees a hilarious contradiction or two here?

Obviously he's joking.  Nintendo hasn't made a good game since the SNES.  I have a huge pile of Nintendo games that I've bought since then that suck.  I'm a masochist.  I'd buy the better Sony and Microsoft games, but I don't deserve them.

I just hate this wii bias. Every game Nintendo releases gets bad score lately. I mean, come on, how can a tech demo not get at least a 9.

I didn't know reviews were only written for people interested in the game.

So who are they written for?

A videogame review is not an academically styled critical evaluation of the artistic merits and themes within a videogame, it is a very technical evaluation of the game in a similar style to a car, movie, music or book review in order to inform potential buyers about the quality of a product to help guide their purchase. If you're not considering the target market you're (basically) an idiot who doesn't know what their job is.

 

Alienating half their potential reader base is only half their problem.

Suppose you're an advertiser, and you see a game which gets 6's go on to sell ten million copies. You might infer that the review had absolutely no impact on the sales potential of that game. So why the hell would you advertise your game in that magazine? If customers ignored the review before making their purchase decision, they're going to ignore the ad, too.

That hits the media right in their real revenue stream. It's like these guys are desperate to prove their own irrelevance.

Oh, those angry Aussies. I remember when I lived there. So biased, a lot of them. Hell, I had one actually try and insult me just n the spec that I was American - and this was before the Iraq war and 9/11. I think the heat makes them crazy. No telling what was up the reviewr's butt, since its winter down there.

@maykissthebride - I see you're somewhat new here. It's usually for the best to ignore Okey's posts when it's a Wii related topic, he's a cheerleader for any negative Wii news. I recommend WordsofWisdom's ignore script.

Don't be so harsh. He's only standing up for his fellow Austrians

And those guys are also from Austria. Anything above a 7/10 would have surprised me.

LOL what? Austria != Australia.
