Admittedly, we've seen a nice start to the tears but I want more.
I want to be able to sail a Wii Fit balance board down a great river of bitter tears from those that dislike Nintendo's success, and I'm confident by the end of this generation it's going to happen
EDIT:
Oh, and thanks for reminding me, I need to get my Wii Fit pre-order in asap!

Yeah, I see what your saying. I largely agree. I just don't think its mutually exclusive. Again, I own a 360 and a wii and think of ideas for games for each. I honestly think some games are better suited to the wii. Some people seem to discredit Wii Sports because its simple. I think Tetris is simple. I also think Tetris is the greatest game ever made.Pistolero said:What I tried to drive home is that the experience doesn't rely on some peripheral stuff to get deeper and richer. I don't need holographic images to get a bon** (Though some people bought that before the Wii hit
A CPU and a GPU come in handy to help achiver this. Of course, this is my perspective...
* to the other guy : I played two of the games you mentionned...
I was almost done with gaming. I would have never bought a 360 were it not for the Wii igniting my imagination for gaming. Portal, Mass effect and Bioshock are the only 360 games I've played that have really impressed me. Fable 2 and Too Human look promising.
I think it all comes down to how you look at games. I don't consider games art at all. Im a huge snob when it comes to movies, books or music, but when it comes to games I want to play something stupid and fun. Even the deepest gaming expeirience I've ever had was pretty shallow. I'm tired of Halo clones. I'm not interested in Carnival games.
I still want creative games, but for me its less about atorytelling. Its more about interaction. thats why I play games. The other shit is just a bonus.

If people want gaming to be taken seriously they need to stop making games about young heroes saving the princess and killing aliens.
Games are still largely for kids. Especially the bloody ones.
If you want to make games more accepted you have to broaden the appeal.
I've yet to play a game with the impact of No Country for Old Men or There Will be Blood and those aren't even classic films.
"real" games are too hard for some people. Sorry, not everyone shares your hobbies. Gaming isn't taken seriously because gamers don't take it seriously. Gamers have shitty taste.
Games need to stop trying to be books or movies and learn to be games again... IF you wanna make them mainstream.
No one likes movies that try to be books or albums that try to be movies.
Listen to him! he's right kids.Davidion said:
Honestly, I'm not sure they'd have done much better on 360 either. JP made games (and new IPs especially) tend not to these days, unless they're big budget Capcom action games. Look at something like Eternal Sonata, which frankly had a whole lot more going for it in terms of accessability, aesthetic and budget versus relatively niche efforts like NMH or Z&W. Did it even ship 300k?klee123 said:

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
This guy's comment is a testament to why the Wii is a failure. These so-called "hardcore" games were supposed to be on the Wii as well, as a matter of fact the Xbox 360 and PS3 were both meant to have been discontinued in 2007, but something changed the prophecy. Such a pity it failed, it was gonna be so much more interesting.
Its not even a fair discussion.jarrod said:
There are SHITLOADS of Wii games man. thats gonna dillute the sales of any niche game.
I'm sure if they were released for something with less selection they would have got more attention. again, Nintendo gamers are picky little liars who really do play favorites, but NMH and ZW are terrible examples of this phenomena.
P.s. I forgot about Eternal Sonata... I always meant to pick that up.... hmmm
it angers him. He needs everyone to be playing the same games as him.ElFly said:

Its okay. I'm that way with good albums.

Yeah and PS3 was supposed to sell 5 million in Europe by the first March.
Funny how things work out.
A pity, really.

Hey now that's mean. Games like Wii fit are helping to take gaming in a new and bright era!
Maybe not so bright...
Oh yeah, agreed... Wii's getting a deluge of interesting but niche JP 3rd party games in the first half of this year especially (NMH, DQ Swords, Baroque, Opoona, Monkey King, Shikigami 3, Heavenly Guardian, Octomania, HOTD2&3R, MiniCopter, Harvest Moon, Samurai Katana, One Piece UA, SS Anthology, KOF Collection, Sega Bass Fishing, etc ... even western conversions like Okami and Samba too really). The field is so loaded really (not to mention big league NCL releases like SmashBros, Mario Kart and Wii Fit) too I think most of these are inevitably going to tank.Staccat0 said:
To be fair though, I guess the same argument could be made for 360 now (which is absolutely bursting with quality software)... but overall that base does seem a bit less receptive to the "wacky-jappy" sensibility versus Wii.

Common Sense Training has never shown it's need for the "hardcore" in this world until the spawning of this discussion.

*high five*.
Wii Fit is not a videogame, is not even in the league of Brain Training and is not going to be the getaway for people getting into videogames (I accept this vision with games like Wii Sport or even Brain Training, but not Wii Fit).
If you extend that opinion to an attack to Wii or Nintendo is your problem.

I agree with him
*Nintendo Moves in the new neighbourhood*
*GAF starts staring at them through windows*
*Nintendo unpacks their furniture, including a balance board*
GAF: "Well, there goes the neighbourhood. Why do they need to move in here? Weren't they happy where they lived before? Ugh those people have no clue how the world works..."

He should just focus on making the best game he can make.
Just because Wiifit will be the top selling videogame doesn't mean that traditional games can't also sell. They will sell less than Wiifit of course but as long as they turn a nice profit then who cares?
and if they don't turn a profit, then not enough people wanted your game and it had nothing to do with Wii fit.

Even splitting the risk by going PS360 multi would've been better honestly. Yakuza's a big enough brand to survive the generational PS3 software shrink and still move appreciable units... Valkyria though, I'm not so sure looking at the team's previous efforts (Sakura Taisen was on a downward spiral before DC died even and Eternal Arcadia failed to really take hold twice).
