No, with so many games being released and being just terrific, a game needs to more than just " running, stoming and jumping, ect" to win GOTY, still a good game though.


  Except NSMB Wii is better than those other games, its gameplay is more refined, more engaging, and more fun, not to mention far more accessible.

 

All the other games like U2 have, is more cinematics, so what you're arguing, is that cinematics are more important than gameplay



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I'M sure NSMB wii is better than the games you've never played.

You know what is great in 2009 : You can have a game with great gameplay, amazing cenematics all in one game.

Actually, those games have been available for years.

  See the whole concept of cinematic games doesn't appeal to me, one of the things that makes NSMB Wii so awesome, is it is arcade like, it doesn't try to be cinematic in the slightest, no cutscenes, no intricate plot, no excessive dialogue, just running, stoming, jumping, etc.

 

I agree with malstrom, games shouldn't try to be serious

Thus the reason it's not GOTY material.

Super Mario Galaxy?

I don't understand why people should be against NSMB Wii taking GOTY, especially if one can admit it's a great game. I mean, if SMG can qualify, NSMB Wii should, too. I'm sure more than enough of us prefer NSMB Wii to Galaxy (which I find overrated anyway).

Games do not need a story or cinematics to be amazing. The majority seem to agree with me, seeing how the top selling games nowadays focus on multiplayer.

Still fighting, I'm goimg to sleep and let you kill each other

No, I had a half hour with it and it felt too similar to the DS version and didn't keep my attention for too long. Instead I tried inFamous and could finally find out how to start the train in the demo so it turned out to be alot more fun.

what if leave this fight and leave the games as equals ?


1. everyone hates ties... they do this so they can win this arguement.

2. you're getting ignored.

3. you made me itchy.

4. what you said would just make mw2 goty since its too hard to pick for nsmbwii or Uncharted 2... so they shall choose mw2 as an easier choice...

By that logic, a person needs to play every game to know whether it is good or not, so when was the last time you played the latest spongebob game or how about happy feet?  I don't need to play every game to know that NSMB Wii is the best.

I actually consider cinematic to detract from the game experience, I don't game to play movies I game to game.  Dialogue, cutscenes, and other cinematic stuff just pull a player away from the actual game.
