Topics with bashing against a system = A lot of posts and potential Flame warz

For every genre Wii has the best library, except Shooters and RPGs.

That being said, there are also some sub-Genres (most notably: Football) where Wii is lacking.

However, for Action, Adventure, Platformer, Puzzle, Strategy, Sports, Racing Wii is the best for acceptable quality and variety.

You are welcome to disagree, but I think the sales prove the interest people have in Wii games.

See, what you did there... is more-or-less the exact same thing the writer of the article did.

Had an opinion.

And console bashing+Top Ten lists bring in the most clicks for enthusiast sites...

I need a new hobby.

What he fails to realize and most of you agreeing is Nintendo sells both hardware and software. And Nintendo have do more with the Wii than the gamecube. The wii did not alienate their base, it added a new market to it. Its just that some people who think they are hardcore, feel nintendo gives more to the casual market. But look at the big core Wii games, they all outsold PS3 exclusives.
Nintendo's biggest problem for me this Gen is the fact unlike previous generation, they gave us a really weak system hardware wise.

They all outsold both PS3, and 360 exclusives, combined.

Top 3 on Wii:

Mario Kart Wii: 17.44 million

SSBB: 8.63 million

Mario Galaxy: 8.12 million

xbox 360:

Halo 3: 10.17 million

Gears of War: 5.91 million

Gears 2 : 5.21 million

PS3:

MGS4: 4.22 million

Resistance: 3.62 million

Motorstorm: 3.49 million

Heck, MKWii alone has outsold Sony's top 6.

How is this allowed?

seriously can/shouldn't they sack him?

Sack him for writing on his blog?

that's his opinion and he owns the Wii.

 

well can I say something, shockingly I actually agree with him right now

but change 2007 to 2008 & SSBB's release date & he's more accurate

but imo a proffessional videogame journalist shouldn't write such things.....yeah its on his blog, but does it give a good reputation to IGN?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

He's right actually. The only playable games on the wii have been casual games or casualized games; spin-offs from hardcore franchises that have sacrificed some of the high challenge levels for accessibility. There hasnt been any good hardcore game for the Wii that was incredibly challenging or provided a deep or meaningful narrative experience. Nintendo has been focusing on the fun factor alone and this is why the wii and its games are looked upon as nothing but toys, rather than a system for providing meaningful interactive experiences (as opposed to non interactive but artistically acclaimed `medium of films).`For those wanting nothing but mindless escapism that may be a good thing, but for those looking for meaningful experiences the wii is a bust.

I think you have the same problem that this guy has that you limit by what genre you play. Little King Story is one of the hardest games this gen and is harder than PS3/360 games just try to name one game that came out on the HD systems that even equals in the last two years.

 

Demon's Souls.

:)



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

I'm pretty sure IGN has a policy about openly bashing other consoles for no apparent reason other than the fact that you hate it in their articles. You can be critical, but not fanboyish liek this guy is being. But I think they have freedom to do whatever they want in their blogs.

There is no such thing as a "Proffessional videogame journalist" those are only a bunch of fanboys with paychecks.

I dunno, Matt Cassamassina, whether you love him or hate him, seems pretty professional.
