Forums - Nintendo - The Wii is a remake of the NES

killeryoshis on 23 December 2009

Believe it or not. The wii acts like a NES. Just look at all the things it has in common with it

The Wii doesn't have a disc tray you put it in there. NES you open the door and but the cartilage in

Wii has the Balance board. NES has the power pad
Wii has a NES style controller
Wii has the wii zapper. NES has the NES zapper
Wii has casual games! NES has Duck Hunt and Donkey Kong Math and more
Wii as Virtual Console. Nes also has port of Arcade games which is older than the NES
Wii has tons of crazy controllers. NES is the same

The wii is battleing 2 rivals who are much more powerful and have more complicated games
NES had to fight computers that were much more powerful and complax(7800 and Master System were made
in response of the sucess of the NES also computers were told that they would be the main gaming platform before the NES)
Wii targets a new audiance. NES targets a new audiance(again computers)

Wow the Wii even is followed with a handheld. The NES was followed with one too.(Game and Watch)

What does ths tell you? Is nintendo sucessful because it followed what the NES did? hey we even got some remakes and sequals
of NES games.  Does anyone agree?  



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

I've been saying this forever, so yes I agree.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

The NES had better games than its rivals though.


Just because I know some Ninty fan will try and report that as trolling even though it isn't I'll use metacritic to validate the statement, which anyone is free to check.

Wrong.

The people who played computer games thought that the NES games were trash. However, the people who played the NES indeed had the opinion that the NES had better games.

So how is this any different than today's situation with the Wii and the HD consoles?

 

Metacritic is formed of opinions that play both HD consoles and Wii, so forms a (in theory) more unbiased view as a whole than computer user vs console user opinions clashing 'back in the day'.

Computer magazines had similar reviews of NES games alongside games like Ultima and such back then. The majority of people back then didn't give two shits about their reviews either just like today. Metacritic can tell someone all day that Mass Effect is a better game than Wii Sports but a regular person wont care/agree and at the end of the day it's what that regular person thinks that gets remembered.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Or try to convince people having fun with Mario Kart Wii that GTA IV is a better game.



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

And it's still mostly true (just a few things off).

The skyrocketing costs is notable. Look at how the developers don't mind spending around $50 million on an HD game, but give loads of excuses not to spend just $10-$15 million for a similar Wii game.
