metroid prime 3, metroid prime trilogy, punch out, the conduit, madworld, muramasa, no more heros, okami, ect and so forth. plenty of good "hardcore" games and none of them were particularly successful sales wise.

maybe, just maybe, the reason wii fit can blow past 20M with ease and great game like metroid struggled to make 1.5 is that the audience just isn't there. you can make a game for the wii as "bigger" and "badder" as you want but my mother (a wii owner) is still unlikely to buy it.

Either this is extreme sarcasm making fun of things such as surveys saying the Wii audience is made up of kids, girls, and soccer moms.......or it's the complete opposite and is a realization of the status of the what "hardcore" games generally sell like on the Wii without cherrypicking

Cherrypicking ex. "What about Resident Evil 4?"

All those games made money and sold in line with or better than anything really comparable in their series or from their developers on other platforms.   You think NMH is really going to sell any better on PS3 or 360?

what's wrong with rail shooters? While I mostly agree with you rail shooters are awesome


I like rail shooters aswell but i'd like some other genre's not currently represented on the wii explored, like a wrpg or a rts.

I wish the Wii was given just one chance to see if it can sell the "big" 3rd party titles as well as the PS2 did in the West...the PS2 had almost everything and could sell many many copies of those "big" 3rd party titles with ease.

I wonder if the Wii could do the same.

i agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but lets not forget about super mario galaxy no more heroes tatsunoko and sin&punishment 2. a superb on rails shoot em up that can kick all the ps3-360 action games.

wii sports sold well i wonder why?? *cough*bundles*cough*

people only but nintendo products for some reason... if you want big budget games get a ps3 or 360

I already own a 360, but I still see that comment as an insult to me as a custoumer. Why can't I have a console that has everything like the Super Nintendo had? Why do I have to buy two consoles to get a comlete experience? I have a certain console, just like 57 million other people. Why would you force all those people to get another console. It doesn't make sense. If I had good shooters on the N64 I deserve to have good shooters on the Wii, it's as simple as that.

   Many people can't afford two consoles. Ever since the 16-bit generation I have been forced to chose only one half of the console experience, it's not fair, and now that money or installed base isn't an excuse for third parties any more, I feel insulted by them. I want a complete console again with a complete experience. I don't want to have to spend money on two systems (3 if you count my PC)

because, unlike the previous generations, the wii was specifically designed and marketed to a different experience from the compitition.

I mostly agree.

Someone should start a mass petition of all things crappy.

I understand that the Wii was designed to do new things. But it's not like it can't handle old experiences as well. Every system deserves a complete library, it's a shame that no console after the SNES had one.

It's not the bad games. PS1 and PS2 had plenty of these games. It's the lack of the great games to offset them.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

PS1 & PS2? They had ridiculously large libraries with every type of game and genre you could possibly want. Finding the titles was at times complicated, but they were there. Anyway, I agree with the first section of your post, I shouldn't have had to buy a PS3 to get the experiences I wanted when I already had a Wii. Unfortuately, good 3rd party titles in traditional genres are seriously lacking. There just doesn't seem to be much interest from publishers to put those experience on Wii.

Honestly, I don't think we've ever had a "one's enough" console post-NES.  PS2 probably comes closest though (closer than SNES or PS1 imo).
