The only things I need to live are air, food, and water. There is not another thing on this planet that if it was taken away I couldn't try to find a way to survive. Wouldn't want to have them taken away, one being a Wii, but in the end, nothing as is or ever will be as important as the first three, and only a foolish person would say otherwise.
There is a very famous quote "Statistics will inevitably used in a lie." I never pay attention to poll numbers, or surveys. Just hard facts. Who knows how this survey was conducted. If someone were to ask me and say, do I use my Wii every day, I say no, they could easily turn around and assume I don't play it that much at all. The fact is, if it were a fad, and anyone who purchased one didn't play it anymore, it would have burned out half a year ago. They only have more games now and more applications for their browsers and so forth. The advertising isn't what has boosted Wii sells, it is people going to their friend's house and "PLAYING" the Wii with their friend and then buying it themselves. It's fun, people are playing it. And who knows when it comes to 67% of Wii owners not using it REALLY means.
Something isn't adding up. You didn't like it at all and it was frustrating, yet you played it for 2 hours. I have played poorly designed games myself, no longer for 15 minutes at the most. I have played the game as well. Maybe we didn't play the same game, but I thought it was great. Too hard for casual gamers huh? No one ever said Mario was aimed at the casual audience.
Actually, every Mario game looks stupid and silly, but they all play like a dream. And they are set in a cartoon fantasy world. You know, nothing wrong with that at all.
You know, a lot can be said about renting games. The fact is that games are an investment. If you put upwards of 40 dollars on something, you intend to get good use out of it. Unless the reviews are really poor, I always try all games at least once. Never trust a critic 100%. Everyone has tastes and prejudices. We can't get rid of them since we are human, as much as we try to deny that we don't carrie bias. Having said that, Illbleed for the Dreamcast didn't get the best reviews. It wasn't the most graphically stunning game ever made. It's controls weren't a defining moment in video-game history. Yet. I love haunted houses and Illbleed for the Dreamcast was and is still one of the best video games I have ever played because of it. If I simply would have listened to critics or people not as interested in haunted houses as myself, I would have missed it. If you enjoyed Red Steel then you are right to enjoy it. A person's enjoyment of something is personal, and can't be decided by a critic. A critic can only tell you if you are likely to like it or not.
The question shouldn't be what's next, the question will be does Nintendo have a special device to keep us from not playing anything else besides brawl? :lol:
My only concern is that Mario isn't wearing a space helmet. I mean, there is no oxygen in space... Silliness aside the only concern I have for the game is that there seems to be no sight of a tanookie suit. I would love to see that gem again. If it doesn't appear though, I think I will be okay with it. As a matter of fact, I sam SURE I will be okay with it.
I bet a lot of people are dissatisfied with the fact that they payed 1,500 dollars for a PS3 on Ebay when it came out only to have it not even a month after Christmas see them sitting everywhere on store shelves. I bet a lot of X360 owners are dissatisfied with their machines burning out on them and having to send them back to be repaired. You can't please everyone. Other then that, the reason the WII has been doing so well is because it delivers a lot more then it's simple package promises, unlike the X360 and PS3 who have to come out with a new version every 6 months just to stay in the race.
This is the last entry in the Prime series, there is no evidence of Metroid being discontinued as a series for Retro or Nintendo. Who knows what game will be next, but I think a lot of people are confused when Retro says they will not be doing anymore Prime games.
