the game cube shined every once in a while(starfox:assault(those grapics were pretty good!)LoZ:MM(duh) and so on.) sideheat

I thought Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask was on the n64...

2) "inovative" gimicks. just plain have to stop. it's just anoter advertising ploy. a cheap shot for a few extra bucks. rummble features are ok but TGC scaning, motion detection, etc. NEEDS TO STOP! it's NEVER going to catch on.

You know nothing at all about the history of gaming do you..... Nintendo idea for you arrows has a control was a gimick....Gaming in it self was belived to be a gimick....so much of what you injoy was called a gimick....Heck when Nintendo made the first Rumble game I thought it was a gimick.....how wrong was I and how wrong are you

ok. this has to stop. the wii is a good attempt at ading functionality and imersiveness to gaming but it was exicuted poorly. read: bad graphics. now i have played all of the consoles, the ps3,xbox360,wii,xbox,gc,ps2, etc. the xbox and ps2 are pretty evenly matched. where one fails or lacks, the other excels or masters. one is good in catigory A but not B but the other is good in B , mediocre in A and exelent in C while the first is improving in C and so on. the game cube shined every once in a while(starfox:assault(those grapics were pretty good!)LoZ:MM(duh) and so on.) the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are also evenly matched. but the wii is the inferor console. bad graphics,bad line up, no online play, clunky controls, I can go on if you like. also, if the wii follows the GC tendency to lincence big name trademarks to sell (awfull) games for big profit only(movie games, toy games, etc.) then the other two consoles are very, VERY screwed.
what needs to happen is as follows

1) brand names need to stay out of the gaming scene. no movie games,toy games etc. to sell mercandise. it's killing good game developers(i.e.original,creative) profits resulting in less capital for there next game so we get progresivly worse games. worse case senario: I have two letters for you : E.T. (yeah, I went there.)

2) "inovative" gimicks. just plain have to stop. it's just anoter advertising ploy. a cheap shot for a few extra bucks. rummble features are ok but TGC scaning, motion detection, etc. NEEDS TO STOP! it's NEVER going to catch on.

3)the whole PS3/Xbox 360 hating stuff needs to stop. we both have a common enemy and as the saying goes: the enemy of my enemy, is my friend. nintendo has lost it's mind and we need to band together and put that rabid dog out of it's misery. we are BOTH geting owed by that thing. it is inferor yet it is selling out like crazy. IT MUST BE STOPED. or well both feel the cosequences. (two words: Dreamcast's fate)

the desision is yours.

TC, you are either a mad man or a genius. Unfortunately, the majority here will call you the former.

But, I know excatly where you're coming from. You actually do make some good points. I worry about the same thing, as Nintendo has seemingly found the way to allow for the repackaging and reselling of an old product. I'm not talking about the hardware, there's just enough new in the box to make it next gen, I'm talking about the games.

Developers are not going to make ports of xbox 360 and ps3 games for the Wii. There's simply too much of a delta in hardware to make that happen. So what will occur is one of two things. They will either A) make games from last gen game engines or B) not support the Wii.

Right now sales are good, so developers are lined up, but they are also creating too many titles that fall under the "A" category. If sales taper off, the worst thing that happens is Nintendo loses 3rd party support and the system ends up like the GC. Personally, I see "B" more likely but I  am worried about what happens if sales remain strong.

If the Wii crushes the 360 and PS3 in sales, it's going to send a clear message to companies like EA, Ubisoft and 2K, that people will gladly pay for old games and hardware as long as it's marketed under the guise of innovation. While some games are fun, the vast majority of titles gain almost nothing from the Wii mote. LoZTP was just as enjoyable, maybe even a little less frustrating, with traditional controls. FPSs at this point suck, and most likely always will as the wii mote does not allow for the precision needed in the genre. Even Wii Sports can be mastered with flicks of the wrist instead of full swings of your arm. Sure, they'll get better, but no one seems to have exacts on how limited the sensors are.

Why would any company sell a cuttin g edge console at a loss, if can cut back the tech and sell it at a profit? Also why would developers bother creating new game engines if the old ones still produce top sellers on said console? Sure, Wii games will eventaully look better and advance from PS2 and GC ports, but ultimately they will never even come close to PS3 and 360 launch titles.

I'm not even going to go into the liscened games for kids shows and movies that make up the vast majority of the Wiis lineup. These have always been rush jobs to cash in on a limited window of popularity and continue to be sub par because enough people buy them.

I really wish Nintendo went 3rd party, I've always like Nintendo games, the hardware has never mattered. The Wii has no hardware in it that is used in motion sensing. It's all in the remote, they could have released it as a periphreal that could be used in all of their games and others, they just decided they could make more money this way.

Even absolutely mediocre games have been getting respectable scores, because everyone has acknowledged it has it's limitations. Yet every review for PS3 and 360 games compares to other games available even cross platform. It

If there's one thing I learned in college, it's that when people realize they're graded on a curve, the don't try as hard.

Aha, but they do have one. Looks like that.
