But WHY does something HAVE to be new to be good?! I don't get it, you guys who bash the "hard core" and the throw innovation out there make me sick. How the hell is Mario Kart Wii any more innovative than Mario Kart DS or Mario Kart DD? Forget it I don't want to reopen that can of worms again. I just hate that word.
It's like if something has been done once some people think it can't be done again. Yet the same people who bash all these genre safe sequels who try and keep doing what they always do, forget that even Nintendo's own sequels do the same thing.
To someone who has lost interest in fighting games fine don't play them, but to someone who still cares very much about them and feels starved for good options it can be a problem. Now releasing old Neo Geo and SNES fighting games for VC is nice and all, but that is not satisfying enough. So Pro, Easycure and some others don't like fighting games, fine ok but STOP insulting those who do by talking trash on the genre. Hypocrits the lot of you. When I say how I don't like F-Zero or Pokemon or Wind Waker, I get chastized and provoked to no end with stupid lame fanboy comments like those in some of the more recent posts.
But it's ok for you guys to trash talk a genre others may like just because it's not what interests you? I hate it when people do that. I don't like every FPS that comes out, but I do like the genre and I would like some more variety to chose from instead of having to spend $400 on a second console, which I will address that not so simple and not as feasible issue in a bit.
Never in this thread did I agree or being to think Wii doesn't have enough good games, notice also that the games that don't interest me I did not make fun of, call names, or belittle one bit. But the games I would like to see on Wii that aren't very likely to be on Wii, everyone trash talks on, insults, makes generalizations about the audience, like that insulting post about the "hard core crowd"
Ian nailed it head on with most of his last post. I threw those three genres out there because like it or not there are some good games within each and there are people who like those games and they should be better represented on Wii considering the massive sales and all.
Also note nowhere in any of my posts did I say anything negative about the casual games either yet most responses since have been putting down the hard core crowd/games, and pointing out the lack of casual games on the other systems, but what relevance does that have? We already KNOW the Wii is the system for casual games, nobody was saying PS3 or 360 was better by any means because of their selections, or at least I wasn't, but that some, SOME, *some* genres get better attention on those consoles than Wii and as market leader that is crap.
Now I do maintain that I *hope* and still believe that RPG's and FPSes will get better on Wii and I can live with the lack of good fighting games because let's face it it is a dieing genere and VC is going to have to do. But I will not run out and buy a 360 to play a handful of games that should have been on Wii and that I could get on my PC anyways.
The whole, "if you don't like it buy the second console" argument doesn't really work this time like it usually has in the past, because before ALL of the main consoles started out below $300 and only went down as time went on, this time around ONLY the Wii started below that fair and reasonable price point and therefore was the only budget friendly console to chose from. Last gen if I wasn't satisfied with GC variety it wasn't that expensive to pick up the other two consoles and grab the games I wanted, which I did BTW. But this gen just to buy all three consoles not 1 single game is over a grand, money not everyone has. Then throw in how expensive the controllers, games, and other accessories are and it gets ridiculous.
By this time last gen all three consoles were all under $250 and GC was already around $150 so for the price of just a Ps3 and a couple of games, you could get all three consoles and at least 1 game each. For those who got a Wii and can't afford to buy very many games for it, sure as hell don't have the money to pick up a 360, let alone a PS3. So please don't list that as an option when it isn't as realistic as it has historically been. Hell back in the 16 Bit days when you could survive owning one or the other, it wasn't that expensive to pick up the other console after a while and games dropped in price a lot more rapidly than they do now, for the most part.
