I think Example #7 is just an honest mistake. Joystiq doesn't seem to be anti-Wii judging from the majority of their blog posts/articles covering it.

another example would be 1up when they said Epic Mickey was not Wii-exclusive.

and I also remember them saying that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was coming to PS3 and 360.

I don't see what is wrong with that article.

fabricating false info shouldn't be overlooked.

The go after Game Informer. Stuff like this happens all the time. I remember when this first broke out. Game Informer announced that it was a Wii exclusive before they were allowed to. Then they went back and took it off. Thus making people think it was multi-platform. They even say it in that article

Many have noted that while the Game Informer teaser page once claimed the game was "coming exclusively" for the Wii, all references to that exclusivity have been removed.

So once again I say I don't see anything wrong with that article

And how can it be fabricating false info if they don''t know better?



Game Informer revealed the platform by accident and they removed it from their website so it could be a surprise in the printed issue.

1up made assumptions very quickly and used it as a poor excuse for an article.

it isn't very surprising seeing as they fired almost all the good people.



How exactly is that trolling the Wii?



I really approve of this thread. Game Journalism seems to have little to no integrity these days.

it's trolling because they wasted an article assuming something without any real proof.
