this is kinda bad , the only wii game im looking forward to just a lil bit right now is Zelda Skyward Sword , no other upcoming wii game is even grabbing my attention
Its seems as though every Japanese made game I have played is plagued with archaic gameplay and technology. Here just a few of the annoyances
The camera angles for the majority of their games are simply awful. Either their are no camera controls or horrendously placed cameras.
Their storytelling tends to be stale and predictable. And what makes it worse is the emotionless voice acting and unbelievable dialogue.
The main character is cut from the same cloth as every other Japanese game. The are overly badass and nothing bothers them or blindly passionate about saving the world.
Because of their inability to tell a story; and the strong belief that their story is very interesting, they bombard gamers with constant and meaningless cutscenes which frequently interrupts the game.
Horrendous loading times. It seems to me that very very few Japanese games have acceptable loading times. Its almost as if the game was not tested because the loading times for some their games are so long its hard to believe that it was tested. To make matters worse is the lack of re-instancing of a level when you die or fail the mission. Because the level is not being re-instanced, it is reloaded as if the data is not in memory, further lengthening the loading times.
It has gotten so bad that I avoid Japanese made games for these reasons and this has been my experience over the last ten years or more years of playing their games. Am I the only one that has this grievance with their games?

I still think the problem is company-dependant rather than just generalized to japanese made games as a whole - a lot of japanese made games have decent camera management ( Nintendo games in particular ) - for that one I agree because of final fantasy , that story telling is all about having a story being as twisted as possible , at least when it comes to RPGs -yea the MC is most of time the same in terms of personality , really tight about morals , having a lot of courage , but this time again 3'm thinking of RPGs only - the cutscenes and QTEs are actually depending on the games you play , some of the japanese made games dont have that many cutscenes -I disagree about the loading times , only some games have that
I'm not worried about graphics , I just want a console that has a online service that is as decent as PSN at least , a proper hard drive that allows more games to have bigger patches and bigger DLC so that when developpers consider making games multiplatform , they consider the wii more so if the Wii isnt able to do that , then yes I want a Wii 2 I can hold my breath about graphics or else I wouldnt have gotten a Wii in first place , but gosh by getting a PS3 I realize how limited this console is in many other aspects other than graphics and please get rid of friend codes
