Forums - Nintendo - Am I the only one....?

Joelcool7 on 13 July 2009

Alright, right now everyone is hyping up WiiSportsResort or hyping up WiiSports (For example the thread about WiiSports outselling the Wii itself). Everyone saying WSR will sell as well as WiiFit and MarioKart. It's radiculous the hype that WSR is getting among the Nintendo elite who usually save their support for bigger first party titles!

Am I the only one who see's the WiiSports series as glorified tech demo's?

Am I the only one who doesn't even have his copy of WiiSports anymore? (Probubly went into the garbage ages ago)

Am I the only one who thinks if WSR outsells MarioKart/Brawl and WiiFit that game quality as we know it will diminish?

Am I alone in wanting to see titles like the Conduit outsell games like WiiSportsResort?

Am I the only one buying RedSteel 2 for the WM+ and not getting WSR for it?

 

Am I the only Nintendo fan who thinks Nintendo is diluting their quality by making games like WiiPlay/WSR/WiiMusic?

 

Or am I just the crazy fanboy wishing for a new Pikmin , Donkey Kong or StarFox over yet another glorified tech demo?

You're not alone, I also think Wii sports is a tech demo.

I still do have my copy.

Yeah I wish Core games, even bad ones like the Conduit sell more than Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit, Wii Music, and anything Wii.

I'm probably Buyin the Red Steel bundle too if i ever have the need for WM+.

Yeah, i think those those games are garbage, but nintendo is makin money off them, so they might as well keep making money.

I want a new F-Zero, Donkey Kong game. Thank god we're also getting a new metroid game, and 2 mario games for wii.

It is. Not many can debate that. It was only there to illustrate the strengths of the console.

Am I the only one who doesn't even have his copy of WiiSports anymore? (Probubly went into the garbage ages ago)

I got my Wii used, so I never had a copy of Wii Sports, still don't.

Am I the only one who thinks if WSR outsells MarioKart/Brawl and WiiFit that game quality as we know it will diminish?

 

Well, Wii Fit outselling almost every other game this generation hasn't changed much, so I doubt WSR would either. The presence of WSR in the market is too well known to inspre change. What it is supposed to do has already been done, but WSR is just an upgrade of that.

Am I alone in wanting to see titles like the Conduit outsell games like WiiSportsResort?

The Conduit has nor the budget nor the appeal that WSR has (or the talent). The game was OK, not great, but OK. However, The Conduit is doing well and has sold 155k after 2 weeks in America. It should sell 700k+ in America alone and do fairly well in Europe, eventually bringing it over 1 million. The sales so far already ensure a much better sequel and HVS' hard work has paid off.

Am I the only one buying RedSteel 2 for the WM+ and not getting WSR for it?

I may get RedSteel 2 as well, but because it is the premiere action game that utilizes WiiMotionPlus. WSR isn't exactly my type of thing.

Am I the only Nintendo fan who thinks Nintendo is diluting their quality by making games like WiiPlay/WSR/WiiMusic?

The dilution in quality is really just the result of further branching out to reach a wider audience. The games are easier so it seems like the quality is lessened, but there really is genious within it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sold so much. Carnival Games may be an exception, but lets not get into that.

Or am I just the crazy fanboy wishing for a new Pikmin , Donkey Kong or StarFox over yet another glorified tech demo?

I'm dying for a new Star Fox after reliving the awesome experience of the one-liner legend known as Star Fox 64. We do have more new Mario games than I would like, but Nintendo needs these Mario games to revitalize the Wii and stuff. It really is for our benefit in the long run, but I wish other Ninty franchises would appear sooner.

There ya go!

Am I the only one who doesn't even have his copy of WiiSports anymore? (Probubly went into the garbage ages ago) Yes

Am I the only one who thinks if WSR outsells MarioKart/Brawl and WiiFit that game quality as we know it will diminish? Yes,Wiisports Resort is an AAA game and those games are good too.

Am I alone in wanting to see titles like the Conduit outsell games like WiiSportsResort? I would want Conduit to sell alot but going again a Nintendo game no.

Am I the only one buying RedSteel 2 for the WM+ and not getting WSR for it? Actually I was going to get Red Steel 2 with Wiimotion plus instead of WSR because I don't want WSR.

 

Am I the only Nintendo fan who thinks Nintendo is diluting their quality by making games like WiiPlay/WSR/WiiMusic? No, those awesome games.

Am I the only one who see's the WiiSports series as glorified tech demo's?
- It was a tech demo that was fine tuned to be a fantastic inhouse multiplayer game.

Am I the only one who doesn't even have his copy of WiiSports anymore? (Probubly went into the garbage ages ago)
- I have mine and it still gets played occasionally by my kids or a few friend gatherings when we argue over who's better at bowling.

Am I the only one who thinks if WSR outsells MarioKart/Brawl and WiiFit that game quality as we know it will diminish?
- Yes, you might be alone here. At least for level headed people.

Am I alone in wanting to see titles like the Conduit outsell games like WiiSportsResort?
- No, not at all. I want Conduit to sell millions so bigger devs will bring solid AAA 3rd party efforts. Better shooters, fantastic sandbox, etc.

Am I the only one buying RedSteel 2 for the WM+ and not getting WSR for it?
- probably not, but I am buying both so I can get 2 WM+ at a discount and I want both games at this moment.

Am I the only Nintendo fan who thinks Nintendo is diluting their quality by making games like WiiPlay/WSR/WiiMusic?
- Probably. These games hit a specific target and have some quality experiences. Tanks is absolutlely worth the $10 WP cost, plenty of people love WM even though I skipped it, and I'm sure WSR will be a gem in some of the games.

Or am I just the crazy fanboy wishing for a new Pikmin , Donkey Kong or StarFox over yet another glorified tech demo?
- idk, I know I'd love a new Pikmin and a quality StarFox like N64's. Though I could care less about DK.

actually the 3rd one...I disagree with(read it wrong)...everything else is agreed
