I became a Gamespot member in 2003 and i liked this site all the way until i got myself the Wii. That's when it started to become unbearable to read both reviews and comments because Gamespot started to become the place to be if your into trolling Nintendo stuff and Nintendo fans could never have a fun discussion about a game without somebody accusing them of being stupid fanboys for liking what they like. But the worst part was that there was also nobody working at Gamespot at that time that understood and liked the Wii for what it was.

My two major gripes with Gamespot during the Wii era.

1.Every review became a discussion of how that game would be if it was on a more powerful system, and i just did not care because i had and liked the Wii and just wanted to know if the game was doing a good job at utilizing the Wii's hardware and not the fantasy hardware of the future or another brands hardware.

2.When motion controls were in its infancy and developers had a hard time learning what worked and what did not, many gamers gave up and did not have the patience to take part in this and just decided they would just call it stupid and ride that train to the end, and i did not care until they started effecting Gamespot staff. And nowhere is that as clear as in the Skyward sword review were the reviewer gave the game a lower score because he did not "understand" the controls. This was a huge issue on the web and Gamespot got a lot of flak for that. But people only noticed because it was Zelda. I had been witnessing this with many other games before and Zelda was just the last straw for me.

This is the first time i open Gamespot since 2011 and i would like to know from Nintendo gamers. Is the Wii U getting the respect it deserves as the awesome console it is from Gamespot or are they again stuck in a "what if Nintendo was more like the others" type of thinking?

I don´t know how big of a % of Wii owners are like me but i didn´t even consider the other consoles because of their lakk of non violent adventure games.

Tenchu and HOTD are just +´s but not my favorite genre.

Whats wrong with Nancy drew? Gamespot gave it a 5.5 but thats the lowest score i have seen for it. IGN: 7.5

Anyway there is more then just games for gorefans for 2009. Punch out! hello..Another code R, Broken sword:shadow of the templars(directors cut)I say best point & click adventure ever! Overlord for the Wii is looking awesome aswell.
