Nintendo you finally did it

[Trent the Paladin]

Like everyone said, from a business standpoint the Wii isn't a failure. And to be honest, the fun factor varies. I enjoy playing my Wii sometimes. Sometimes, I wish I would just trade it in. For the most part, any third party games I've been interested in has made plans in some shape or form to hit 360/PS3 as Arcade or PSN titles, unless updated/whatever like No More Heroes. I mean, the only things I actually play on the Wii is first party titles, since they're obviously the best. WiiWare is usually Nintendo, except for the Phoenix Wright ports. Older titles if they weren't arcade titles they were Nintendo games.

So really, my relationship with the Wii is a love/hate. I mean it usually just takes up space when I'm done with the game I wanted, usually back to playing whatever it was I was playing on the PS3 since those last longer. Personally I find the DS to be superior to the Wii, it's got far better games than the Wii will ever have in this incarnation.

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.

your wall of perfect sense is astounding, and a breath of fresh air to me.
thank you.

sad that it will be drowned by "LOLBUTIFEELDISWAY"/ignoring the whole post to say something else, entirely.

david, you're hardly the oldest member here, (whether that's good or bad) and age really has nothing to do with it, since you can still play old games, providing they haven't crapped out/are still in working condition.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepany 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.

I'm not going just for Kinect, you know. And the only reason why I'm going is because the guy who owns the coffee shop at school is begging me to, lol. He wants to "convert" me. =P I told him it's no use, many have tried and all have failed, but he still insists. So I agreed to go to his Xbox 360 party when Kinect comes out if he would give Wii a chance. And just because there will be Kinect doesn't mean that there will be only Kinect. He's going to make me play Halo Reach for sure. I'm not going to like any of it, but I'm doing it to prove a point, lol.

You haven't even played, you don't know if you'll like it or not, but if you go there with such a negative attitude of course you'll hate it.

Because I've already played it before? Well, in the case of Halo at least. And I don't like the way Kinect controls. I'd prefer PlayStation Move over that.
