Nintendo you finally did it

[-Aaron]

I wonder if developers will still look at the wii now, considering theres a more powerful version of it available now for handheld.

Yeah, they still look at it.
It's a pretty unique machine, if I do say so myself.

Uh, how about it's a home console, not a handheld? You can't play a 3DS on a TV. And it doesn't have motion controllers. Sure, it may have an accelerometer and a gyroscope, but because you move the console itself instead of a separate controller, the experience is very different. Also, you don't see the 3DS having a Balance Board, do you? There are plenty of things that make the Wii stand out from the 3DS.

Everything you said was meh.

Wait, what the *censored.3.0*? The Wii is Nintendo's best-selling console. How is it a failure?

Developers don't give a *censored.2.0* about any of those things. The only thing that's relevant about the Wii at this point is, from a business perspective, its install base. Which doesn't mean much, anyway, considering that a lot of Wii owners only play Wii Sports. Wii third party support has been as dry as a bone for a while now, and that's definitely not changing considering that the 3DS packs more tech punch.

Third parties, especially those who release launch games, will be riding on the DS wave and won't have to worry about piracy, at least not to the same extent as the DS. Everything except the price point is looking pretty good for Nintendo right now...

I'm not even going to bother arguing with you anymore, because it's just impossible. Like many people say about me, you're like a brick wall. But whatever.

Haha, yeah right. Sounds like you just can't refute my points, so I'll take it.

No, that's certainly not the case. In fact, I had a semi-long rant already typed out that I was going to post, but I decided against it because, let's face it, it's not going to go anywhere with either of us.

I love debating, so it's a shame you didn't post your response. Mind retyping it again? :r

 

[[Nook]]

I don't think Nintendo watched the Wii fail when they sold 70 million of them.
The 3DS does look promising though.

I agree. Over 70 Million units, you call that failing?

 

[David]

In terms of sales, it was as far away from fail as you can get. As for actual fun, it did fail.

That's funny, because I've had more fun with Wii than any other video game system.

That's cause you won't touch another company's system with a 10 foot pole.

How many times do we have to go through this... I've played other consoles before. >_> Hell, I'm going to an Xbox 360 game party when Kinect comes out.

lol good for you. Only reason you're going is cause the games for kinect have minimal violence, matching the same casual style as nintendo garbage.

[Sporge27]

Here is the thing, between the DS and the Wii, Nintendo completely changed the landscape of the gaming industry. Many people say it is kiddy, I wouldn't use that word though. I'd say it was just less violent in general. This helped break down a stereotype many held about gamers. It helped get people to try games who only saw bad things about them in the news. It was a hit with some of the elderly for a while.

I am glad to see Nintendo return to more games like they used to have though for the 3DS, and honestly this will be the test, will Nintendo continue to hold the new groups of gamers they made?

I was referring to the new Nintendo, not the old. But you're probably not old enough to remember the real Nintendo, so don't worry about it.

 

[Sporge27]

Really if I laid out a timeline of when good Nintendo games came out they would probably be fairly evenly spaced. Tis a fallacy most make when thinking back to nostalgic times, generally since there is a lot more in what we call "the past" then what is actually current.

On a different note though, I love brawl, twilight princess was a really good Zelda, Metroid Prime 3 was a good game, Wii Sports for all its simplicity was good if only for the bowling, Super Mario Galaxy was interesting, not the story, but just the levels were all designed uniquely, the second one not as unique but still good. No More Heroes was awesome. Plenty of games I would consider alright on the Wii, but not quite as good as the other ones I have up here.

As much as some people claim there were no good games on the Wii are mistaken, though the amount of shovel ware on the Wii is greater. Why is it greater? Again Nintendo made a new market section, and they aren't quite as informed on games as some. So though Ninjabreadman may look awesome on the cover, well it didn't pan out that well.

Moreover a persons taste in games are as varied as flavors of ice cream. Just cause you think chocolate is best won't stop people from eating orange sorbert. You might argue that chocolate has more antioxidents and tastes better, but they can always say they like fruit better. Some things you honestly can't argue that well.

So what in the end makes a good game? Kinda hard to answer that as it is really in the eye of the beholder. I can tell you what is not a good game though. One that has clumsy controls, bad camera angles, lack of any challenge, or o lets say ninjabreadman. I would add on lack of story except that some games pull past that just fine.
