Topic: IMPRESSIONS: Wii Music

Great post; great read.

I think this can all boil down to this:

Miyamoto > NWR's opinion

Miyamoto doesn't have to say one word and we'll still trust in him more than NWR's opinion of his game. I'm sorry, but it's true.

Miyamoto is a proven genius creator of games and NWR is just a gaming website full of Nintendo fans. So while you all scream "HORRIBLE," (and you might end up being right) nothing will ever dissuade us from at least trying the game and giving it its fair chance.

Besides, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be a Nintendo fan; so the least I can do is give him the benefit of the doubt.

After skimming through everyone's posts, all I can say is people are getting a bit more metaphysical than me. I didn't enjoy what I played, and reported as such. You can not trust/agree with my opinion. You can decide to check it out for yourself. But please don't suggest I'm being disingenuous or otherwise am trying to stir the pot for sensationalism, because I'm just not that kind of person. This was the most pitiful E3 hands-on experience I can remember, and I'm not about to sugar-coat that.

Go ahead and try it out when it is released. I hope I'm wrong about the lack of value in this title, because it would be great if *anyone* could *enjoy* playing this title as part of a group.

So if they make a porn game, is it a sex toy?

If you really want an eye-opener, you should check out the PS1's launch library.  The best game was Rayman, and that was a port.  It took a year and a half before Resident Evil came out and actually made the PS1 worth buying... and that was even a SATURN port.

Sorry to nitpick but Resident Evil was made for the Playstation first and then ported to the Saturn.  And Rayman was the only decent PSX launch game?  What about Tekken or Ridge Racer?  The PS2 however did have a horrible launch so you can always use that as an example and, well, the PS3 sure seems to as well... and the PSP.

Anyone questioning how trustworthy TYP's opinion is... it just seems like if this wasn't a Nintendo game no one would have any issue.  If some third party, and let's say one with a good track record as well, was working on Wii Music and there was some hype for it but then TYP played it, was disappointed, and gave the same impressions it wouldn't be that big of a deal.  It seems because it's almighty Nintendo that TYP's opinion must not be trustworthy.  Be a fan but don't be a fanatic.  This is a company trying to make money off of you.  Why would you trust their opinion over anyone else's?  Would Miyamoto EVER give a Nintendo game that had not been released yet a bad review?  Of course not.

If this was revealed at Microsoft's or Sony's conferences everyone would be making fun of them.

Nintendo has earned trust by consistently putting out good games. The same can't be said for other companies.

Except you are missing the fact that Miyamoto has alot to do with the game and I would give ANY talented and respected game designer the benefit of the doubt. Also is it just me that finds it odd that Ian is calling others fanatical?

No personal attacks please. Everyone that posts here is fanatical.
