Nintendo Announces Healthy Holiday Sales Figures
As everyone looks ahead to the possibilities in store for 2010, Nintendo of America is looking to extend the glow of the holidays with some fresh December sales information. The following items were announced by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata in Japan:
* Although official U.S. sales data for December and all of 2009 will be announced by the NPD Group on Jan. 14, it appears that U.S. consumers responded enthusiastically to Nintendo’s Wii™ home console in December. Nintendo estimates that December sales in the United States will exceed 3 million units.
* Nintendo estimates that the portable Nintendo DS™ lineup, including the Nintendo DSi™ video game system, set a new all-time calendar-year U.S. sales record for any console or hand-held system.
* Nintendo software also continued to perform well. Although the NPD Group will provide the full sales numbers for each game, Nintendo estimates that lifetime U.S. sales of New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii are approaching 4 million. The game, which is the first Super Mario Bros. game to include simultaneous four-player action, launched in the United States on Nov. 15.
“The millions of people who bought Nintendo hardware during the holidays can look forward to enjoying great games on those systems now and in the future,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for Nintendo DS, and Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. Wii are all currently providing Nintendo fans with amazing experiences and fun adventures for the whole family.”

Damn, those console numbers beat Sony's best month and best year record, doesn't it? Interesting. But of course, sales this generation don't matter. :lol

Lame, nerdy groupthink bullshit. ::)

Malek

Those aren't NPD numbers, idiot.

Sales numbers only matter when they're in the demographic that you are in.
Nursing homes and soccer moms buying shit don't mean a bit of shit to me at all.

Observe. This is how the butthurt HD fanboys on this forum react to the cold backhand of reality. Even Administrators in this community do no hesitate to resort to starting shitty threads (i.e., this one) with no legitimate content whatsoever for the exception of a single image to represent his growing fanboy frustration. Now, I might be an unapologetic Nintendo fan and I'll play the sales game from time to time to help offset the other trivial rhetoric that continues to be spewed here by members like TFS, but even I have the decency and respect to back up my argument with SOME work. :lol

Nintendosbooger, whose nose do you come from? I'm guessing you're Miyamoto's snot, am I right?

I like when they have to compete. Token titles, sure, but I was really disappointed with every Animal Crossing after the GameCube one I obsessed over because they all took steps backwards and didn't challenge themselves. (Harvest Moon fell into that same problem. Weak ass ports.)
I kept getting excited for big releases, holding out hope. Hell, I waited in line at midnight to get Brawl. But then the shit just falls after that, like Excitebots being at $5 already. (I freaked when I saw the trailer for it. Not in a good way.)
They had the strongest launch ever and then nothing really matched up with it. Kinda like the Dreamcast, but kept on life support by puppy games. I'd probably have more respect for the Wii if it failed and died out, rather than continually seeing new releases I don't give a shit about.
Thankfully I've learned to adapt, as many people have. I don't feel like I'm losing out. Hell, the Steam sale will keep me busy until summer.
The one-IP-per-console rule just seems to ruin it for me. It pretty much means we won't see a new Animal Crossing or fixed SSBM. It also seems we're stuck with the one Mario Party game which we're all tired of.

Weren't you one of the three assholes that claimed sales didn't matter during the N64 AND GameCube era? Congratulations, you've finally got a win after two generations by pandering to the lowest common denominator (idiots) and then casual gamers. Now we wait to see if you can smash the PS2's sales record WITHOUT releasing a hardware revision that has additional features.
I surely don't give a shit about sales but I do give a shit about games and during my time with the wii, only one game out of the many that I bought was any good (Super Mario Galaxy, and it was great). On the other hand, with the 360, EVERY game I bought or played was great.
Quite a tall order there, Mr. Green! You mean it isn't enough that Wii is selling at this pace without the benefit of a DVD movie player to pad its sales (like the PS2) or a "Slim" hardware revision (again, like the PS2, which you've failed to mention) OR the benefit of a year's head start from its two main business and sales competitors??? Wow, guess the Wii sales do look pretty underwhelming considering the disadvantages the PS2 had to suffer in comparison!
-
Wait, are you retconning the PS2's historic industry dominance to be a bunch of people looking for a cheap DVD player?
-
I like when they have to compete. Token titles, sure, but I was really disappointed with every Animal Crossing after the GameCube one I obsessed over because they all took steps backwards and didn't challenge themselves. (Harvest Moon fell into that same problem. Weak ass ports.)
My thoughts exactly! AC was awesome on the GC (fuck the haters) but every version afterwards has sucked balls. Must have been the NES games.
I kept getting excited for big releases, holding out hope. Hell, I waited in line at midnight to get Brawl. But then the shit just falls after that, like Excitebots being at $5 already. (I freaked when I saw the trailer for it. Not in a good way.)
From what little I played of Excitebots, it's definitely worth $5 (I would've paid full retail for it!)
They had the strongest launch ever and then nothing really matched up with it. Kinda like the Dreamcast, but kept on life support by puppy games. I'd probably have more respect for the Wii if it failed and died out, rather than continually seeing new releases I don't give a shit about.
Yeah but that's the thing: sure, these new releases may not offer much as far as you're concerned, but there are people who usually wouldn't give a shit about gaming that ARE excited about what the Wii has to offer. I'm sure that's why fanbois are so upset about Wii's success; somehow, in their misguided manchild brains, they think that the Wii's popularity means that they won't get their yearly sports sim / racing / FPS fix.
Thankfully I've learned to adapt, as many people have. I don't feel like I'm losing out. Hell, the Steam sale will keep me busy until summer.
I would NOT want to have just a Wii this generation. It's best when paired with a 360 or even an (ugh) PS3.
The one-IP-per-console rule just seems to ruin it for me. It pretty much means we won't see a new Animal Crossing or fixed SSBM. It also seems we're stuck with the one Mario Party game which we're all tired of.
Man, fuck Mario Party. Have you tried Boom Blox?

Corny, I think you need to take a look around and see who's on your team before you continue down the dark, waggly path you're on

Seriously Patel, if you think I'm concerned about being on a "team" of asshurt fanbois I'll never meet...
-
My thoughts exactly! AC was awesome on the GC (fuck the haters) but every version afterwards has sucked balls. Must have been the NES games.
It wasn't that. It was the paring down of the series to be simpler and easier to digest. To make online viable for all regions, they took out all real holidays and just made generic crap, because they were lazy. They got rid of the Igloos in January, the Halloween Jack, Reindeer Xmas and the stealing shit from the Thanksgiving dinner. They also took out that big tree entirely and made each world smaller. Instead of 4 houses, there was just 1, got rid of storage boxes for the mail (I think), and even the ability to sell or display items in front of your house. The lost and found police station got severely neutered. I could go on, but nearly every change ruined the game on the DS, outside of friends being able to visit you while you were playing. Hell, THEY TOOK OUT THE ISLAND.
Then the Wii version just stuck all the new DS stuff in a little city, added voice chat and called it a day. Least inspired sequel ever. (Yes, I know the GameCube version was an up-port of the n64 one. The American was even an improvement over Japan's. Japan later got a second release on the GameCube with America's updates)
From what little I played of Excitebots, it's definitely worth $5 (I would've paid full retail for it!)
Yeah. I'll buy it soon enough, but for a sequel it looks underwhelming and sounds like just more of the same.
Man, fuck Mario Party. Have you tried Boom Blox?
Mario Party is a very consistent laid back game. Boom Blox is good, but it's more active. (I went for an interview at EA to be on that team.) Mario Party is great when you have friends over and want to eat pizza while you play games.

Oh no, random internet posters are giving shit to a multi-billion dollar corporation. Won't somebody please think of the children PR douches?!
And I honestly don't see what's wrong with this thread's allegation that Nintendo's upcoming lineup sucks balls because, well, it does.

Oh the "group think" complaint. Yeah, sure, nice try. If group think was really occuring here then you wouldn't be here objecting, now would you? Just because people agree doesn't mean its group think and suggesting such is just an attempt to deevaluate the people's opinions. The only place I've seen true group think occur on EB really has been regarding GAF, but that's understandable. Seriously, try something else to defend your opinions other than sad allegations of group think and fallacies ::)
And this thread was never about sales until Nintendosbooger brought it up in a sad appeal to popularity since he couldn't bother (manage?) arguing in favor of Nintendo otherwise.
-
Corny is right, of course. We get together in our secret Icon lair and plan out all of this in advance, because we're EVIL or something. It couldn't genuinely be that none of us are impressed by Nintendo's offerings for the Wii. No, a far reaching malevolent conspiracy to make fun of probable bedwetters is more likely.
-
Nintendosbooger must be St. Cornelius's little brother or cousin. Only way to explain it.

Totally. It's all an evil conspiracy. Clearly we hate the Wii -even though a number of us own it/have owned it/will own it again- and hate its games -even though there's plenty of praise/discussion for games like Super Mario Galaxy, NSMB Wii, Muramasa, HoTD Overkill, Castlevania ReBirth, Trauma Center, etc.-

I'm just a gamer - one that's been doing this shit since the Fairchild Channel F - who isn't threatened by the Wii's success. It's so nerdy, dorky, and cliquish - not to mention hivemindesque - the way EB gets off on attacking Nintendo and anyone who likes the company.

I'm just a gamer too -one that's been doing this shit since the Atari 5200- who owns all of the current consoles and doesn't give a shit one way or the other. It's Nintendosbooger's ridiculous posts and attacks on members that's getting him ridiculed. There's no hivemind going on here. Why are you so butthurt?
-
I'm not the one dogpiling on the guy with the silly handle, dude.
And ooooh, 5200? I was neglecting that shit for the Colecovision.
Finally, if you don't give a shit one way or another, then why post in the thread?
-
EB isn't the only place that dislikes the Wii. All gaming forums across the world hate on it. Even GAF hates on it, but you can't say anything bad about it because Dragona will ban your ass.
The Wii just fails as a gaming console. It's just a very successful glorified toy and a nice device to lure kids to your home.
-
Fuck being threatened, I just hate the system for what it is. I liked the Gamecube, and I want Mario and Zelda in glorious awesome power HD. Instead I'm being asked to overlook the shitness of the system and just appreciate the waggle gameplay, and for some reason I'm also supposed to be dazzled by the ability for shit to appeal to a new audience. That's grand for Nintendo, but it's doing jack shit for the games I'd possibly give a shit about.
Also, it's fun to harass Nintendo fans. They finally got what they wanted, sales dominance. But it came by way of shitty hardware, grandma appeal and goofy peripherals. Good one.
-
Also, it's fun to harass Nintendo fans.
I think this is just the crux of everything. God (and Prole) help me, I love my Wii for what it is (a console for retro/quirky stuff + that occasional "okay" Nintendo title) but Nintendo fans across the board come off as the most defensive and childish of the console fanboys, only rivaled by most of the Sony babies over at GAF. It's just so fun to fuck with them.
-
ok being serious here,i like the wii,i think people exagerate when they express their disdain for the wii but it's not like it's totaly unjustified,i mean the thing is so full of shovelware or game that are just disappointing
i do feel a bit annoyed at some people stance but ehy if bore is okay with me throwing fit at random games i guess i should be okay if bore throws a fit at the wii,besides as someone said most people here own a wii and do enjoy the good games it has so i'm not really sure who's serious here (insert joker gif) especialy since this thread was done in parody
cheers :)

Ironic.

The reason why these jilted women feel threatened is because they fear that Sony and Microsoft will follow Nintendo's successful business pattern, with the upcoming Natal and Gem. While both will make a sorry attempt to copy Nintendo's model (at which point, these transparent idiots will discover a newfound interest in the concept altogether, no doubt), they can rest assured that neither will be successful in this regard and both will reassume their respected roles as mere afterthoughts this generation.
One thing I can agree with is that the HD twins have some interesting games that are not readily available on the Wii at the moment, and I will reiterate my earlier promise to get one of the two machines once they shave $75-$100 from their current price tags.
-
I'm a fucking Nintendo fan, stupid. Of course I'm going to be in their threads! ::)

You're more like Nintendo's Chris Crocker.
All your replies have been replies to replies.

I love it when Corny lectures us on making things personal.
-

Sure, why not? While an underpowered shit system based on curious controls and little other value is of course a piece of shit, there's nothing wrong with add-on devices to excellent systems; power and waggle, that could be alright. And even if it isn't, the systems are still awesome, as opposed to the critically shitty Wii platform. Hell, maybe we can finally get that elusive first person shooter enhanced by 3d pointer tech.

I think the discrepancy here is how much you need new content or multiple entries in a single genre. I'm usually okay with one solid genre entry with good replay value. I'm assuming those who hate the wii feel that because everyone isn't releasing videogame staples every month its not doing its job. I guess what is missing is an original fps, quality hack and slash action game, and rpgs.
... and shmups
... and fighting games
hmmmm, maybe I haven't thought about this enough.
-
at which point, these transparent idiots will discover a newfound interest in the concept altogether, no doubt
Sure, why not? While an underpowered shit system based on curious controls and little other value is of course a piece of shit, there's nothing wrong with add-on devices to excellent systems; power and waggle, that could be alright. And even if it isn't, the systems are still awesome, as opposed to the critically shitty Wii platform. Hell, maybe we can finally get that elusive first person shooter enhanced by 3d pointer tech. Good looks and wacky controls, maybe that's fun.
Yes, they could copy the Big N to help rejuvenate their godawful hardware and software sales (relative to those of Nintendo), but even if a few latent mongrels such as yourself learn to covet the newly retrofitted Nintendo-born concept, it'll fail horribly and both machines will be perceived as jokes by the populace (again). I mean, say what you want about the two HD consoles but the people have already spoken, and if I could rephrase an old adage, "Garbage perceived is garbage achieved."

I'm a little confused by the other two fanboys. Why are you guys reacting like its a personal attack? Did you install your ego into the wii the day you got it? I get a big boner for Nintendo too but I don't see why people not liking it isn't allowed. Seriously, try some xbox live at someone elses place. Go to a store and see how bad the wii looks on demo station lcds. Its completely understandable that if audiovisuals and a streamlined online experience are your preference the Wii wasn't designed for those affinities.

EmCeeGrammar, I own a Wii and a 360. I don't need to do any comparison browsing. When I have friends over, we play the Wii... and we play the 360.
Thanks for your input though.

Because the groupthink is embarrassing and sickening. I'm pretty sure Third has never even picked up a Wiimote in his life (I'll need photographic evidence for confirmation) but he's in every fucking Ninty thread making sure everyone knows how much the Wii sucks. Is there anyone even left whose mind isn't already made up regarding the Wii?

Capcom: Less Wii After Darkside Chronicles Sells Only 16k
French Director General says the audience for hardcore games has left the building.
Looks like everyone's New Year Resolution is to avoid the Wii. The Director General of Capcom France, Antoine Seux, has suggested that the opportunity for 'hardcore' games has dried up following disappointing sales of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. This comes as Seux announces that the company will be focusing more on PS3 and Xbox 360 development.
In a lengthy and revealing interview with French website Gamekult (via our wonky translator), Seux states that development on “the Wii was very difficult, with an oversupply [of games] and a gamer market that has radically changed. [So-called “gamer's games”] are selling less and less on the console, [be it] MadWorld or Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop or House of the Dead: Overkill.”
Capcom's recent on-rails shooter, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, sold a total of only 16,000 units after three weeks on sale by 23rd December 2009. In contrast Seux notes that Resident Evil 4 sold 140,000 units back at its release in June 2007. The problem, he suggests, is the change in audience. “One feels that there is a problem very clear on this style of game on the Wii, where gamers have obviously moved on. Resident Evil 4 on Wii worked well, but [it was released] when the market had nothing!”
“The customer of [the Wii] has turned into something [of a] much broader audience. It is a disappointment,” says Seux, who feels that the only chance to get a game noticed on the platform is to support it with “massive advertising campaigns” such as Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
It's a surprising statement from one of the most loyal supporters of the Wii. Just a few years ago Capcom had gone so far as to switch development of its long-awaited Monster Hunter Tri from PlayStation 3 to Nintendo's platform, while titles such as Zack and Wiki and the Okami remake failed to grab as many gamers as the company would have hoped. Darkside Chronicles' lack of sales is a stark contrast to the success of its predecessor, The Umbrella Chronicles.
“This is the year of the emergence of so-called 'new console generation',” Seux concludes, referring to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. “The Wii is still an important part of sales, but growth is on both [Sony and Microsoft's] platforms. The Wii console is very much a family commitment... for us, Capcom, the future is the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.”
Seux's interview follows comments from Sega America's Constantine Hantzopoulos on a price cut for Nintendo's console, whilst in the same podcast declaring an end to developing 'hardcore games' like MadWorld and House of the Dead on the platform. Michael Pachter today went on record to predict a sales slump for the Wii in 2010.

NintendosBooger, you're rants are filled with plenty of inflammatory remarks directed at posters. I think you just need to cool it and accept people have different standards.
Lol what?
I don't go into Xbox/PS3 threads, trolling how shitty those games sell or how boring those games look, even though I might sincerely feel that way. In fact, I haven't participated in any Xbox/PS3 thread, much less troll in them. Every Nintendo thread I've created has been subjected to trolling. And when I respond, they cry to have someone leper me or whatever the hell.
I'll keep making threads, bringing up sales, and pumping the Wii. Don't like it? Ignore me!

There is some truth to this yes. But I think prole summed it up pretty nicely when he said
"of COURSE no-one here likes nintendo, jesus fmodding christ, this is a forum loosely packed with virgins and weeaboos and internet ragers and wannabe hipsters and emofags and god-only-knows what kinda syndrome methodis has and GOOD GOD WILLCO. you can't pull the self-righteous YER ALL SELF-HATING FATS ANYWAY card in the forum equivalent of bumfuck, montana, unless you're so fucking clueless that you missed all the signs on the road into town"
So either just start making an alt for gaf or just ... I dunno, deal.
edit: I think the main problem is that the threads you've made aren't about specific games, but rather serve the function of validating Nintendo. That's just how I see it.

And after all this, I still kind of want a Wii.

copied this list of capcom wii games from wikipedia, might be missing some (?)
...
how much of that is actually worth a fuck?
Let me re-arrange and correct this list:
Ports-
-Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition- This is the best version of RE4 I've played overall (have not played it on PC with all the mods available). The Wiimote used a pointer for shooting works really well, although it does tend to make the game easier than before, since it's so easy to get headshots. The image quality is not as good as the GC version (expected), but you do get GC-quality visuals with the extra features/modes from the PS2 port, plus you can always play with a GC or classic controller if you don't want to use the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo.
-Ōkami- Have yet to play this on either system; I recently bought it on PS2. Why? Because the Wii port has downgraded visuals and that stupid waggle-wave crap for combat. No thanks.
-Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil- Haven't played this; read that it didn't look as good as the GC version (again due to IQ issues), so I never bothered since I have it on GC.
-Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop- What were they thinking? :lol :yuck
-Monster Hunter G- Ported from PS2 or PSP, I forget which. With Tri out in Japan, who cares? Doubtful this will ever come out in English anyway.
-Resident Evil Zero (Now out in the States)-Just like RE, it's the same game with worse image quality. You can play with the Wiimote/Nunchuk if that means anything.
-Sengoku Basara 2+Heroes (This game was released as a double-pack)- I love Basara 2/Heroes! It's Capcom's wacky version of Samurai Warriors, and it's done much, much better IMO. Very over the top and crazy for a musou title. Basara 2 is the full game; Heroes is an expansion pack with a few new characters. What's nice about the Wii version is that you can transfer save data back and forth between the two games (which you'd want to do for items/money earned), and all the characters are unlocked from the start in the original Basara 2. I own this game on both PS2 and Wii; I thought that the 2P split-screen play in Heroes was smoother on the Wii version, but the PS2 version looks sharper and has better graphics overall. At this point, I wouldn't bother with Basara 2, since Basara 3 is coming out in a few months...on Wii and PS3. The PS3 version not only will look much better, but will also offer online co-op. Easy choice as to which to get.
Original games-
-Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure- Never played it.
-Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles- Rail-shooter version of RE, featuring abridged/retconned scenarios from RE0, RE1, RE3, and one original scenario. Has frame rate and some control issues; hard to play but still kind of worth it if you are a big RE fan.
-Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles- Improves on UC's flaws and is more enjoyable, although it's not going to be the game of choice if you want a pure arcade-style light gun shooter (stick to Ghost Squad for that). Features scenarios from RE2 and Code: Veronica, plus an original scenario that is sort of like a "prequel" to RE4.
-We Love Golf!- It's a typical Minna No Golf clone. I remember most people here not liking it, but I thought it was fun.
-Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars- Fun Vs. game with a similar play style to Capcom's Marvel games. It's a two-on-two tag fighter. Has a somewhat small roster and balance issues, but some characters are just plain BORING to use (the two big guys, who also cannot partner with anyone). Has Dreamcast-level graphics, but great style and there's a few nice backgrounds and BGM tracks in there. This is all based on the original game, which is not coming out outside of Japan; Ultimate All-Stars, hitting later this month, is an upgraded version, addressing the balance/character flaws, adding additional characters, adding new music, and also adding in online play. I'm pretty pumped for it.
http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/tatsunokovscapcom/video/6244927/tatsunoko-vs-capcom-ultimate-all-stars--dropping-pelicans-gameplay-movie
-Spyborgs- Haven't played it.
-Monster Hunter Tri- It's more Monster Hunter. I will get this if the American version has free online play, otherwise forget it.

bah developer are dumb,they act like scorned womens "OH NOES MY CRAPPY SPINOFF ISN'T SELLING IT'S ALL THE WII FAULT!" of course i'm not saying that there have been many succesfull 3rd party game on the wii but it makes you wonder why nobody ever complains about their game not selling on the HD consoles
"OH NOES BIONIC COMMANDO ISN'T SELLING AND IT'S ALL UNCHARTED FAULTS!"
it's like they don't want anything to do with the wii but they need some sort of excuse,didn't capcom recently said they won't work with western developer anymore after bionic commando? it's like capcom can't do anything wrong,it's always somebody else fault

the fun thing is watching Ninthings point out that all 3rd parties have to do is "appeal to the casuals.... and the hardcore" , whilst pointing to Epic Mickey being superbig budget so everyone should just grab a massive franchise/icon, make a game about it , and sit and watch the "guaranteed" sales come rolling in.
Yeah, it's THAT simple. Just figure out how to appeal to two mindsets and bet the farm on your game.
Look the truth is neither camp really knows what's gonna sell or not. Only my camp should have any interest in the first place!

Actually, even funnier than the above : watching Wiimps go on about wanting a REAL dead Rising , a REAL FF game, a REAL Resident Evil, a REAL dead space...
... sounds like they want an X360 to me. Why did they buy a Wii if they wanted those games? ??? ??? ???
Because sales number dictate that they should be getting all those games?
I have no fucking clue.

I'm fine with the Wii trolling, personally but one issue have to inquire about: Why do the same people who complain about Wii being ancient, shitty tech simultaneously complain that there aren't enough games being made for it? I mean, isn't that a good thing? Hell, I wouldn't even want Mario and Zelda to appear on the Wii if it weren't for the annoying little fact that, well, you know...

So you're on a quest for reform of what is generally a pretty laid back, dedicated troll forum? Well, good luck on that. Cornelius has gone borderline Green Shinobi on the project, so it looks like you're down one disciple for The Uppity Cause.
Also worth noting here is that there is a reason as to why the Wii is shat on more than any other platform around here. It's not a well liked platform, and no amount of preaching about its grand general appeal and sales dominance is going to change that. That, and it enrages Nintendo fans into sulfurous preaching benders.

But why make this your home when your tastes don't align with the majority of posters. I'm only here because... well most people know. It's a secret. But the internet is a wide and vast place, find greener pastures.

Actually my game sounds awesome. I hope somebody makes it.

Let's hope Obama is a secret character in the new NBA Jam game for Wii.

So either just start making an alt for gaf or just ... I dunno, deal.
What? You mean either except the status quo here or re-register on GAF under a new nick and hide among the masses like a roach? I'm not down with either, man. My days posting on GAF are done and this is my new home. I doubt the creators of this community wanted this place to be nothing more than a hub for Nintendo-hating lemmings; I'm to assume that it was originally designed to be a loosely moderated forum for all sorts of boisterous fans.
So you're on a quest for reform of what is generally a pretty laid back, dedicated troll forum? Well, good luck on that. Cornelius has gone borderline Green Shinobi on the project, so it looks like you're down one disciple for The Uppity Cause.
Also worth noting here is that there is a reason as to why the Wii is shat on more than any other platform around here. It's not a well liked platform, and no amount of preaching about its grand general appeal and sales dominance is going to change that. That, and it enrages Nintendo fans into sulfurous preaching benders.
By the way, you don't actually know who the "creators" of EB are, do you?

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata confirmed to Japan's Asahi Shimbun daily today that the Wii Zelda sequel, first revealed at last year's E3, will be released this year.
EB fucking DESTROYED.

The future of Nintendo is making fat sacks of cash from selling games made in 2007 on hardware that would be acceptable tech in 2000.

The future of Nintendo is making fat sacks of cash from selling games made in 2007 on hardware that would be acceptable tech in 2000.
The Wii mote and Nchuck would have been ahead of their time in 2000, and many experts have stated that the Wii hardware is superior to last gen machines, so the Wii's specs fall in line with the natural progression of console hardware advancement.
It terms of raw horsepower, is it weaker than the PS3 and Xbox 360? Absolutely. However, as a video game console, that does not make it technically inferior to the other two when you pause to consider the fact that some Wii games cannot be executed on the HD consoles. So the playing field, in that regard, is even.
The deciding factor, as always, will be determined by the software. The Wii has the most successful software at this point, some of which will make it to the record books. That said, the Wii's hardware can be perceived as being STRONGER than those of the other two on the basis of its compatibility with great, successful software.
-
Yeah, the DS is also more powerful than the PSP. And the Ps3/X360 are more powerful than a PC.

The Wii is on par with the PS2. It's a horrible nightmare to work with and a giant fucking kludge. It's one reason I'm glad at my new job. I don't have to work on it anymore. PS3/360 is so much nicer.

Yeah, I think most of us figured this out when every Wii game released looked worse than GC games and non-shovelware PS2 titles.

What is it that you do, or did on the Wii? Programmer?

nintendo's already hinting at trying to grab back some of the core gamer market they lost this time with their next stuff
they know the pet rock syndrome isn't going to last forever, and when it finally does crash it's going to crash pretty hard
they're really smart with iteration

I did gameplay programming for Pixar's Up. Not so bad for the Wii in that respect, aside from trying to put in a Wiimotion for cranking and that was a nightmare. (It was before MotionPlus)
On Spongebob's Truth or Square I added support for the Classic Controller and GameCube controller and... OH MY GOD, I wanted to kill myself. To add the TRCs for the menu and just have all the switching work and show the proper buttons and certain checks... *barf*
Mainly it was how on the GameCube controller ports we AREN'T allowed to detect controller disconnects because of how flaky the Wavebird can be. Shit like that. Also making sure the analog triggers felt right, disabling sound on the Wiimote when using the classic controller, and only let you control the Home Menu with those controllers if you actually called it up from that. The documentation was a nightmare. (And I had to deal with fixing In-game XMB issues on the PS3 for Up, so it wasn't new to me)
Seriously, if Nintendo wants to make their games better, they can start by making actual APIs and not requiring us to access low level shit and code around their apps to FAKE looking like it's all one cohesive system.

Well, Nintendo manages to make polished and successful games with the same hardware that had troubled you, so perhaps the real issue isn't with the machine?

I think they know that the grandmas and soccer moms might move on even within the timespan of the Wii itself, which is why we're getting Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid. That isn't a whole hell of a lot but it is a sign that Nintendo wants to bring some more of their alienated base back.

Oh no. He's right. Random stupid hardware ideas are totally polish.
-
nintendo rolls their own tools and apis and hides them from third-parties; microsoft and sony share them out. and you expect devs to flock to nintendo why?
-
Sounds like lazy developers go to systems to make shovelware, but real talented developers have to untap the true potential of the Wii :smug
-
Wasn't the GC the second easiest-to-program-for console after the original Xbox?
-
That was the big selling point from Nintendo anyway.
-
Isn't the Wii basically a Gamecube Turbo? Why should it be so hard to develop for the system? The devtools are almost 10 years old.
-
I think Nintendo gets a little too much flak for doing whats profitable. If you want to compare internal development between the big three, only Sony has made any effort on their part to make core games consistently. I think what it comes down to as that the few new things Nintendo did last gen like Pikmin or Drill Dozer where either slightly successful or downright bombs, so they decided to study the market. They concluded accessible controls and nongames were what it would take to be relevant. And with surgical precision they made games that sold astronomically well. The newest one being Tomadachi Collection. My only real beef with them is that they aren't marketing some of the gamer games. Excitebots received zero promotion. Captain Rainbow and Disaster (while both probably mediocre) also didn't receive adequate marketing. They all bombed.
-
Is Tomodachi Collection getting an English version? My students love that non-game.
-
Elefino!
I looke at a few trailer and it looked kinda Japanesy. So I guess NoA is considering how they would localise it.
-
Captain Rainbow?
...
:supergay ?
-
Yeah. GameCube was easier than PS2, but that's all relative. It doesn't help that the Wii is using the same old dev tools that the GameCube used, just heavily hacked, while the Sony and MS IDEs got heavily updated.
As far as I know, you can still only set ONE SINGLE Data breakpoint on the Wii at a time. I believe that may have finally been upgraded recently.

Disaster is awesome

Disaster is awesome
is that game ever coming to america?

You can fault them for stealing that and Monster Hunter. Imagine them in HD with REAL online and voice chat.

REAL online and HD and VOICE Chat and all that $$$$$$$ that would have been flushed down the drain because no one would have bought it given their shitty install base in Japan!
