MKWii is good but massively disappointing because they ruined the battle mode from mk64. I must have spent days and days playing 4 player mk64 battle mode with friends. I hardly even played normal races.

You are definitely an American. I have yet to hear this complaint from an European.

I feel the same about the battle mode, though I claim that SNES battle mode is the be-all and end-all of multiplayer replayability in any game, ever, period.  The red shell intricacies in SNES battle mode are just insane.  And yep, I'm American.

I also kind of agree with the article in question.  Several of my friends have Wiis, and it's ok if we're all hanging out...but apart from Wiiware/VC games, I don't see why I would ever buy a Wii.

To be honest I TOTALLY agree with the article. I can see how anyone can honestly say they cant.

I was a HUGE Nintendo fanboy. I mean huge. I owned every Nintendo system up to the wii. The Snes is my all time fave console.

I'll be honest, even Nintendos core games like Mario and Mario Kart, MP etc have all got IMO worse this gen. MKwii is the WORST mario kart game ever made. There is no longer any skill in that game.

There is so much rubbish on the Wii and VERY little to cater at all for a hardcore Nintendo fan of old that it saddens me seeing the games lineup in stores everytime I go in. I would own 3 games on the Wii. Thats it. I would also dodge some first party titles they have totally dumbed down and ruined for the sake of casuals.

Great article.

I don't get this...
I think almost everything about the Wii is an improvement over the GameCube. 

 

I never owned a GC, so the backwards-compatibility of the Wii is a plus for me... but so far the only GC game I've purchased is Mario Sunshine, because most GC games have superior versions on the Wii. 
Mario Strikers Charged > Mario Strikers
Mario Galaxy > Mario Sunshine (although I own both)
MarioKart Wii > Doubledash
Brawl > Melee
Prime trilogy > Prime 1 and 2

etc etc.

I do want to pick up Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes for GC though.  One of these days...


Maybe I should be more clear. GC was the beginning of the downfall. Mario Strikers/Charged? The ? there is for not for me. Double Dash was a better game than MKWII, MK64 owneed both of them. Melee was better imo. Brawl is massively overated. I dont like any new MP. The Snes games were so much better. The N64 games were so damn good from, Nintendo that GC and Wii versions pale in comparison. When I said I was a hardcore fan I meant a long serving Nintendo owner. Since the Nes. Rareware's Snes and N64 games were better than anything on the Wii. Look at Starfox on GC, they completely ruined it. Lylat Wars ( Starfox 64 ) was amazing.

You're more than entitled to your opinion... but I think it's just you.

Brawl = Melee with some great new features. 

MKWii is missing battle mode, but otherwise is probably the best Mariokart yet... although the DS one might take that title.

 

You do realize that the only games Rare made on the SNES were basically just Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, and Battletoads?  Although I do love Battletoads...

If you think about it, other than the thing about the Wii being overpriced by $100, and the Wii having no games since 2007, he's actually right.

You are wrong, very wrong. Yes, the Wii had a horrible late 2008 game wise, but its still contained more games than the other consoles. If you look at this holiday season, the Wii actually have a better lineup than the PS3.

I think you misinterpreted what Kantor said.

So whats the big deal, this guy doesn't like playing some really good game, not really my problem.

Anywho, just thought I'd pop in to say that I'm really enjoying Muramasa: The Demon Blade right now. You guys should try it out.

'Except that the companies can't make those games for the other systems forever if the Wii keeps outselling them.'.

They can and will if they can sell software for them. Doesn't matter how many Wiis are sold.

Aren't you the one that always claims that user base does not matter? You contradict yourself so often that I'm starting to think it is a joke account.

Zelda 3 as NOT complex at all. Niether was the first one. OOT was much more complex. The 2nd one with it's 2d side segments was the only complex part of any of the first 3.

I guess my opinion is different to yours. I can see exactly what the IGN article means. I know MK has always had rewards for people in last place. But nowhere near the rediculousness that is MKWii.

And also you cannot have concrete evidence to opinion. Yours is opinion just as much as mine as is IGN's. So no I didnt waste time at all, I'm sorry my opinion is what you wanted, but it's how I feel about Ninty letting me down.

I can give concrete evidence for many of my opinions. I have cited new mechanics that make MKWii require skill to excell at. I can also cite examples of why SMG was more "casual" than Mario 64 and a good example of what you are talking about. I just wanted to see if you were going with the majority opinion for a real reason or not.

OoT is a 3D remake of Link to the Past. To call it much more complex is absurd. Many of the puzzles were far easier. Nothing has ever come close to being as hard as the NES Zeldas. They were the most hardcore of the hardcore games in the series, but also amongst the worst imo.

2 fallacies here.

1. Not giving me the change to explain the apparent discrepancy.

2. Even if it is a contradiction, that is one, not "so often".

Once you realize those two, I'll explain what I meant.
