"Non-game" and "non-gamer" are two of the most ridiculous terms I have ever heard. They were definitely created as derogatory terms, there's no way they aren't...

Unfortunately they've seeped into the vocabulary, and it's going to take awhile to enact the cultural change to replace them with more positive concepts.

Non-game and non-gamer are pretty silly, but there is a need to specify those games from other games, just like any other genre.

Any suggestions?

Personally, games like WiiFit are actually apps in that they are supposed to be appllied in order to reach a goal. Brain Age and others fit into this app group. However, there are games like Animal Crossing that don't really fit anywhere. It's like a virtual world where there is no goal but to entertian yourself. Those games are more like toys, in that they take extra creativity from the user to make them more entertaining.

I don't think that what are currently labeled as "non-games" really need to have a label.

Wii Sports is a sports game.
Wii Play is a minigame collection.
Wii Fit is a physical fitness game.
Wii Music is a music/rhythm game.

There's really no need for distinction beyond that.

Do I really REALLY want a new Mario, Zelda or more core franchise? Definately but I can also get excited for casual oriented games as well if they are good. I think I'm the first step in gamer evolution, a gamer/non-gamer hybrid!

But while Chess and hungry hungry hippos are both board games, they are still very different games.

Mop it up · « **Reply #381 on:** June 02, 2009, 03:51:47 AM »

Yeah, one is a strategy game and the other is a button-masher. But they are both still games.

Chess on Wii, BLOWS THE MIND.

Well, on the bright side at least hardly anyone uses the "kiddie" slur anymore. It would be kinda hard for them to use that when a large number of "gamers" who play these "games" are middle-aged and over.

But are they really "games" or are they just exercises and activities for the elderly?

x-rayd version of images from IGN

you can clearly see a fire flower

You can easily make out Super at the top

Those look so Photoshopped it ain't even funny.

stevey · « **Reply #388 on:** June 02, 2009, 11:31:51 AM »

So, where is everyone watching it?

Looks like I can't use the computer today.Someone direct me to a live blog.
Someone else is going to have to post everything.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #391 on:** June 02, 2009, 11:52:02 AM »

Watching LIVE on G4 commercial free.

The thing about the xrayd pics, is that if you look at the original pics (on IGN) you can already see same object through the cover.
The xrayd pics are actually filtered in photoshop to make the things you could see stand out a little bit more.

believe it or not. all will be revealed within the next 2.5 hrs.

Any relation to NAMBLA from South Park?
