I don't think they're incompetent, they just seem to sound so goofy when they defend the Wii, since they either don't take it seriously, or take it too seriously.
Huh. That's unexpected. When I posted this, I expected to take a lot of flak for being a Nintendo defender.
I have to disagree with one point, though. I think that a lot of the problem is that the mags focus too much on cheap shots at the Wii ad campaigns and the word "waggle" than actually paying attention to what the Wii is attempting. Nintendo wants to both expand the level of game interactivity for its hardcore fans, and start a new audience. I wish them luck, and just hope the rags can lay off for a little while.
That's not true. 95% is preposterous. It's closer to 80. Think about Zack & Wiki (Capcom), Bleach: Shattered Blade (TOMY?), and Sonic And The Secret Rings (Sega). Those are three excellent third party titles, in my opinion at least. I read GI because I like to keep up with the industry, and because it came with my GameStop card.
It seems like every time I hear Nintendo or the Wii mentioned in GI or GamePro, it's something negative. Like, they claim they favor originality over new Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc., but those are practically the only games that get good reviews! Why?
