Well what do you consider a 'legitamite' website.  I mean, compare the article I linked you to next to this article from IGN.  Where they elevate the opinion of a random blogger who claims to be someone and report it as 'news'.

http://wii.ign.com/articles/100/1009002p1.html

I mean, which is the more creditable?  The one claiming they talked to Nintendo but is a site devoted to Wiiware news or IGN who claimed they 'knew' the guy?

Do I really have to pick one?  Can't I just call them both garbage?

If you want to go that route, go ahead.  But while I agree that IGN is garbage, I think its pretty harsh to call the other site garbage just because it was providing a link to another sites supposed conversation with a 'nintendo rep'.  At least the site poinred to the fact that the source was not fact saying "While a customer service rep may not sound like the most reliable source, they're trained to follow company policy, and it's pretty apparent by the lack of VC releases in the US for the past two weeks, and its very spotty release schedule otherwise, that Nintendo may be slowing down the service."

If you were wondering why I was making the comparison to IGN.  Which stands in stark contrast to the conversation good ol' Matt at IGN 'overheard' badmouthing Wii.  Which may have either happened online or in his head.

You misunderstand.  I'm not saying those websites are poor, I'm saying those articles are.  I don't label an entire website by one article.

You didn't check your facts before writing off WiiWares first 6 months, admit it.


Why would anyone talk about what Wiiware provided when it didn't exist? That is just idiot.

You didn't read carefully and got caught.  Next time read what is written and don't make foolish assumptions.

My point was that it was well after the Wii launched before Wiiware appeared whereas DSiware is coming right alongside the DSi.  I think the DSiware catalog deserves some time to mature before making judgments.  Also, Mario vs Donkey Kong is pretty fun.

The first thing I thought of was a virutal console of some sort? But no, we have a shitty DSiWare shop with hardly any selection.

Oh stop whining.  The DSi shop was just introduced.  It's not like Wiiware had anything amazing the Wii's first 6 months.

Do you really need a list of big effort Wiiware games from that period?  FFCC: My Life as King was a Wiiware launch title wasn't it for one?

When Final Fantasy IV; The After Years doesn't even quality for DSIWare I wonder the sort of quality most titles will even be.   WiiWare has the Wii VC the fill in any weak gaps in download games, DSIWare does not.

FFCC released in 2008.  The Wii was launched in 2006.

Yes but we are talking about Wiiware and DSiWare and FFCC:MLAK is a Wiiware launch title.  The launch of the Wii doesn't come into it.

To use your logic the DS launched in 2004...

No, we're talking about what you quoted me as saying which was "the Wii's first 6 months."  I said that on purpose to trip up silly people who can't read.  And, no the DS's launch date doesn't matter since it's not capable of DSiware.

That's an incredibly foolish line of argument in this context, though. The Wii didn't HAVE Wiiware when it launched. The DSi, however, DID have DSiware right away. You're trying to compare apples to oranges. It makes no sense to make that argument, except maybe if you're purposefully trying to troll around, which is even more ridiculous.

It makes absolutely no sense in any given way.

However, you accidentally DO bring up a good point. The Wii didn't have Wiiware when it came out, but they integrated it later on and have since supported it fairly well. The same will likely happen, similarly, with the DSi.

That's the point though.  Wiiware was held back for quite a while whereas DSiware was pushed out with the platform with a few non-games from Nintendo and only two worthwhile-looking titles to be a selling point as soon as possible.  DSiware needs more time to mature.



Okay, you have a somewhat valid point with that. Still a pretty poor method of debate, but you DO have a point.
