ok



but why not just "teleport" the player

or freeze enemies



atleast the freezing still gives some gameplay

this is a new idea, im sure its been used.

the reason why its not conventional

is because its a ***** idea, end of



anyway i always remember the best gaming experiences as those which took me years to complete as a child but now could do in seconds



games are meant to stimulate the brain, and to some degree they do improve the person, sometimes intuition is needed to find away around something, and theres also the study which says gaming enhances sight



so whaat nintendo is doing is, going the opposite of big brain traning and taking the fun out of games at the same time



atleast sony isnt the only one on the fools train (btw i only own sony products, would usually vouche for them, but you have to admit they can ***** their customers over)

ill turn it off. but i do like the idea, i think with this feature, nintendo can get the casual players to try hardcore titles.

@dd409



In what way is the Wii the best system? The WiiMote? The Sony Wand and Project Natal are coming... then what?

are you seriously calling the wii the best system? lmfao

conceptwise, very true. looks like sony and micro$oft are aiming at random casual not smashing buttons softcore players, following the cash cow wii. you cant deny that. for all that thought that wii was for kiddie games, get ready to see ps3 and x360 having some family friendly stuff.



now cry, fanbois... the company of your preference is a sell-out indeed.

@Matt-N



You just proved his point. It's all about the MONEY. MS and Sony are following the MONEY. Nintendo knew where the MONEY was from the begining and scored big on it.



Nintendo did it right from the begining and now everyone else is rushing to catch up. You can only CATCH UP to a LEADER.

@ ISOHaven



Ooooooooooh... I agree with you, my dear friend.



My original question was in what OTHER way is the Wii better than the other two systems (assuming dd409 was refereeing to the WiiMote in the first place... and let's be honest, what else could it have been... memory space?).



It was also a question from an end user's point of view.



As you were.

It's better in many ways. The point of a console is to PLAY IT. The Wii has gotten people who would NEVER play a console to play a console.



More users + more play



If this is a hardware discusion then you can all knock yourselves out until the cows come home.



Power + Nothing



Playing + Everything



The best car doesn't have to be the one with the most HP.

i mean come on what ever happened to the varying difficulty scale where if a player is having a problem getting past a section or keeps dying then hint come on screen or the difficulty is lowered instead nintendo decides lets patend this idea of having the game play itself i mean games should start out easy with simple levels but get harder and harder isnt that better for a casual player than watching someone else play and did this really need to be patended i dont think sony and microsoft really want to steal this idea it's not like they have been looking for ways to make games less fun



i think nintendo is really losing touch even with casual gamers

"The amount of units Nintendo shift does not concern me at all."

Ignoring data is half your problem.



"It could be argued that more unit sales would result in more 3rd party support, but this is clearly not happening, as the hardware is too limited for the skills and aspirations of today's true game developers."

This entire comment is flawed in so many ways. 1. Why would you argue that? 2. That argument means nothing. 3. True game dev is YOUR definition. It's not a real definition or a standard. You're making up information.



"So again, how popular the system is, has not benefitted me as a Wii owner at all."

Again, this is worthless information because we are NOT talking about you. We are talking about the general population. You are trying to form this conversation into an aspect of how you have benefited from the console. Sorry, but I doubt anyone cares other then yourself. The topic was how Nintendo added to the industry. NOT how you have benefited. YOU alone are NOT the human race.



"If the Wii has, or is the definition of, EVERYTHING, why is the net smeared with Wii owners (and I mean gamers, not fat women trying to lose weight on WiiFit and grannies who bought it for when their grandchildren come to visit) complaining about the lack of hardcore games and general support from Nintendo? I've read more negative press than positive from Wii owners, myself being one. Doesn't bode well in my book."



My comments where in SCOPE of the conversation. Maybe you just missed it or maybe it's the fact that QJ doesn't know an equal sign from their a$$. My comment on everything was that PLAYING a console EQUALS EVERYTHING. I didn't say Nintendo was everything. How in the hell did you interpret that?



As for your negative reviews comment....are you SERIOUS? How about you COUNT all those negative reviews then pit them against the number "50.65 million". You will quickly see just how small your little world is on the internet.



"The lack of memory, along with the online play, certainly does not fall into the EVERYTHING category either. And please don't make me laugh with the mention of SD cards."

Why the hell would I mention SD cards? Out of scope in this discussion of GAME PLAY.



"Now on to NOTHING."

You obviously completely missed it dude. Power EQUALS nothing. I didn't say MS and Sony are nothing. Gees!!!!!!!



"So while your "car with the most HP" analogy maybe a valid point for another discussion (possibly about cars!), it clearly does not apply here."

Wrong. It applies 100%. Your earlier comment was clearly along the lines of hardware. That was my take on your use of the term memory space. You know? Hardware.

did you even read my comment Younger Kids and Disabled People they play a game get stuck then what the game just keeps getting harder and harder it's no fun having to constantly watch this thing play itself disabled people should be able to input their own custom controls to counter their disabilities (one hand) and young kids should have a super easy mode

"Watching a game play itself is, by definiton, not actually playing it."

It does not suprise me at all that a jackass like yourself CANT GET IT. WTF, does a game playing itself have to do with ALL THE CURRENT USERS?



GET A BRAIN DOUCHE BAG!!!





"The Wii itself has proven that wrong. The Wii's reputation of catering to ages 4-90 (and nobody between 13-60)"

This right here prove you are prick. All you do is make shlt up.



Seriously, no one cares about your BS childish crap.

Perhaps the greatest feature I ever heard. Thank you Nintendo for understanding that, a person who just payed $50-$60 for a new game should be able to actually get through it, even if the game is hard. There's a lot of hard games out there, and most of them with no cheats. Well guess what, not everyone is great at every game. It's nice to know some companies understand that and try to help. Now if only Sony can get this in their games.
