Horrible? Don't be distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. This thing is CASH MONEY. Nintendo is going to make a fuck-load of money with it's shitty party games for distinguished mentally-challenged fellows, while Microsoft and Sony spend ELEVEN QUIZILLION DOLLARS EACH of Gears of Blood: The Deathening.

I'm glad there's a market for both, but this shit is just clean, smart business.

yes, but we are actual gamers, so how did you expect us to react

if we were elderly, or pre-teens, or autistic, we'd probably be jumping for joy right now

That's my point. They're making games for other people. If you drive a Camry, you don't get all flustered when Ferrari decides to make some wacko business decision. It's a different market- Nintendo is no longer in the "gaming" business

Good lord, the Wii is f*cking horrible. There hasn't been a single game shown that I would EVER consider buying. I'm obviously out of touch, though, as the masses eat that shit up.

Hey hey I hate shitty console graphics but there are 3 games that I absolutely HAVE TO HAVE at some point in my life:

- Zelda: TP (GCN port suffices of course!)
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Metroid Prime 3

Nothing else. There's nothing else on Wii that interests me.

You can't possibly be grouping Wii with the other consoles. How can you act like a resolution increase from 720p to 1080p is life changing while somehow lumping Wii with the 360 and PS3. THAT is a massive gap right there.

You know, I've simply been too busy in the past few months to really play video games at all, so I've almost entirely lost interest (outside, perhaps, of the MM9 announcement). Still, I can't help but feel slightly disappointed that Nintendo has been enthusiastically committed to producing shit in the past few years. Mario Galaxy was totally fab, but I think it was the Edge review that read something like "remember when every major Nintendo release felt like this?"

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #511 on:** July 15, 2008, 02:11:05 PM »

Doesn't this debacle basically prove that third party developers aren't interested in the Wii? What other explanation can you arrive at after watching Nintendo claim there are "too many" up-coming third party titles to show, therefore highlighting a Call of Duty title, another Rayman minigame title, and a Star Wars title that is going to all the consoles in some form or fashion

why not ? everyone else is!

I'm not a big Wii fan, but there's at least two games i can think of that are more than worth playing and they both have Galax in the title.

I'm talking about capabilities, not software.

I'm not a Wii fan either (obviously), but there WERE some truly great games released for it during the last 12 months. I'm not denying that. Borys seemed to be grouping all consoles together with his "console graphics" reference. The PC is tops, but the 360 and PS3 are reasonably close to it in terms of what they can do while the Wii is of an entirely different (previous) generation.

"It’s easy to play improv jams. Musicians in your band jam by simply playing their
instruments to the beat of a song or by improvising to their heart’s content. Play
faster. Play slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. No matter what you do, Wii
Music automatically transforms your improv stylings into great music. There are
no mistakes—just playing for the pure joy of playing."

Interest in video games reconfirmed! It sounds like they took the invisible crowd and occasional commentary in God Hand and made it a big gameplay feature in MadWorld -- I can't help but think of the MXC commentators when I hear this guy.

No doubt it's also connected to some sort of scoring system.

Oh, and how about El Gigante at the end? Man I love Clover. EDIT: I just realized too that, aside from El Gigante, the enemies did almost nothing. Hopefully they're less like DMC's puppets and more like God Hand's Tiger Joes.

Yup. Nintendo is saving the business. For those who are pissed, don't worry - gaming needs to be destroyed and rebuilt. I think that happened sometime around Microsoft got into the business and brought along all the PC fegs with them, and their official Halo urinal containers so they wouldn't have to get their ass off the couch to do things like piss.

You guys should be thanking Nintendo for bringing some respect for your God forsaken hobby, and actually having females (*gasp*!) get involved in it. They're saving you, yet you don't even know it. Tsk tsk .. $:-\$

Honestly, I'm all for more females gaming, and PC fegs annoy me more than Xbots/Nfags/Sbots combined, but I can't even support what Nintendo did at this conference... Come on, CarrotTop Snowboarding? Rayman and GTA DS? It's like they were purposely trying to make this bad.

You hate me ? :'(

No, Borys, you're actually really cool... since you like and enjoy Japanese made games, like RPGs and classic games. And you're Polish too, which is awesome.
