This is likely to infuriate the self proclaimed hardcore.....i like it!

how about, confloccinaucinihilipilificated games?

OT: er, i dunno. Wii has time on its side.

cliffhanger said: c03n3nj0 said: To me it has. So I put yes. Most of the big games I play on it have improved from the GameCube. Brawl > Melee Galaxy >>>>> Sunshine (hated sunshine) TP = WW (can't decide >_>) Although, the 3rd party is not comparable to the GameCube, and that wasn't so good either.... Anyhoo, it won't probably do it if it's measured by metacritic. But I only care for what I think of the games oh yes, to me the wii already has many better games than the gamecube. But like you said if AAA is to be measured by metacritic it won't pass GC. My tastes just don't agree with reviewers.

I thought the exact same thing

Wii has already brought me many many more games upto now than the GC did in all it's lifespan. I'll never forget SMG, MarioKartWii, NSMBWii, DeBlob, NMH, Brawl Zelda:TP... etc, I LOVE the Wii games I have right now more than any of my old gamecube games (and any other console for that matter). doesn't matter what any "journalist" has to say.

 this is my BEST gen ever :D

EDIT: btw, i voted "NO", Wii won't catch up to the Gamecube in terms of "AAA" 90+ titles. possible reasons : jackass reviewers, lack of good 3rd party support ..etc

The title of this thread should be changed.

It's about 90+ on metacritic...

I also hate 'AAA' as a term. It makes me think of petrol. It really diminishes games as an artform to me, it makes them sound like some sleazy corporate cashcow. I whince every time I see the word used to describe a game.

"Official" AAA games probably not, but for my tastes, I think it already has. For example, I consider Zack and Wiki, Little King's Story, Mario Kart Wii, and NSMB Wii to be AAA games, but the "official" sites like Metacritic and gamerankings oddly do not.

Yeah, i thought it was about budget?

I found this interesting explanation on another site when googling "where does the term AAA come from"

"“AAA” probably comes from credit ratings – the reliability of a good return from a certain company.
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/03/102203.asp

Thus a AAA-game is a game that has a high rate of return on your investment."

I also found this explanation:
"
Taking a historic point of view, the first conclusion I draw is that it is a timed reference to an era of magazine reviews. Typical standard for a review used to be a 3-man review, using former EGM as an loose example (they used 4 for a while). If a game received perfect or near perfect scores from all reviewers, could it be said it was a triple A title? Possibly, and for the time it would make sense. Though, carrying the term into modern times, where 3-man reviews are a rarity, it looses it's context and meaning. Does that mean "triple A" is a relic of the past and that doesn't know when to die? Possibly."

from this site with other possibilities:

Nope. Reviewers are less lenient these days. Back in the cube days people were still impressed with sports games... hence the nba nfl tiger woods in the 90+ range. People have higher standards these days.

probably not.. nintendo focus mainly games like wii sport 2 that are not going to get it.

last 2 games i seen for next year are zelda and maybe galaxy 2
