First off this guy sux all he does is state facts wii already know second the n64 was way better than the ps1 and saturn 3rd the i had more fun and games on my gcn than my xbox and ps2 combinded. 4th if nintendo markets this right (not just a game system but a family computer ( hey famicom)

then they will do Damn well)

5th First post!!

i really agree with you and this happens way too often

#1) Why did you write



"First off, the system is pretty much weaker than its bigger and beefier opponents"



If you said previously

"Let's face it, Wii was the big winner that came out of E3"



Then it wouldn't really matter if it was "weaker"



#2) "Nintendo only has two first party games available at launch"



Wow thats too bad. I guess the millions of poeple hoping to play mario can't now because its not gonna come out in launch.....retard.



#3) You go on saying that the Devs say its easy to program on the Wii, and then say that it'll be hard taking full advantage of the Wii. If the Devs say its easy, its easy. Why would you question that.



#4) "Lastly, Nintendo just has to get online gaming right"



Ok.....how the F***** is that a problem. You can't say anything until you actually TRIED the online on the Wii to judge something like that. Your questioning death, in other words your questioning something that hasn't happened to you, and you classified it as a problem (death could be a problem though dont get me wrong there).



Why is there an article like this? It pisses people off, not inform them.

If you're missing the Mario games for launch, blame Miyamoto. "A delayed game is eventually good, but a bad game is bad forever."



Shiggy isn't gonna let his games go into production until he's 200% satisfied with their quality. I can understand that completely, and he can take as long as he wants, because as soon as he lets the game out, I'm gonna be losing sleep from playing it too much anyway. ^_^



Miyamoto's love and care for his games is nothing to scorn, Nintendo's been in this a long time, and I fully trust their judgements.

dumb.... i dont need mario at launch... specially a bad mario game.... i mean...zelda its.. 36754 times better than mario... a lauch console with zelda on it, only in my wildest dreams...







btw... about graphics.... its 250! c'mon people...

Nintendo's go to stop pumping out games for little kids, i mean we all grow up, we can't all play pokemon; we'll just get beat up lol; anyways they need to cater to the older audience, we need more serious games, and zelda is in the right step, i just hope they don't make the mistake with the games they churned out on the n64 and gamecube with 12 and under oriented games

We all know that Miyamoto is a god among game designers/directors. I don't think there's a gamer on the planet that could argue against that. If the delay is because of a few tweaks and tightening up of it, then I say bring it on. I'm gonna have Zelda and Red Steel to keep me busy anyway.



That said, I can also see they delaying it to not put everyone in one basket at once. The Wii is cheaper to cater to people with less money, and if they have less money, they aren't going to go and buy a Wii and 10 games. Maybe 1 or 2 at most. So release a few more later on.. Hopefully though, it's in a small window, so tha tmomentum isn't lost.

I think I've seen this article before...Oh wait, like once a week some stupid jacka.ss comes out of the woodwork to bash/support either the ps3/wii. Funny how they no so much since they do not code games for either system, nor have they played either system. SHUT THE F*CK UP YOU STUPID F.AGGOT!

learn to read becuase hes saying at the initial release of the ps2 people were at awe because of the graphics.... ok dumbass were the xbox or gamecube out yet? ok so go suck a d!ck :)

22. Your right there were some valid points, but this was pretty obviously an attempt at bashing the Wii.



The online play, yeah that applies to the PS3 as well.



A beefed up gamecube, yeah in the same way the PS3 is a beefed up PS2 and the 360 is a beefed up XBox. Except it's not, the Wii has had more than performance upgrades.



The launch line up, some people are never happy. At the GC launch I bet he was one of those complaining that it was all 1st party games, and then there were no games released for ages. Make you mind up idiot.



His "third problem" contradicted himself as everyone pointed out so that can just be ignored.



Oh, and 15, go back and actually look at those "kiddy games". They weren't kiddy at all, they just didn't have huge amounts of blood or mindless killing spree. That doesn't mea they're kiddy, and a game having those things doesn't make them "mature" as everyone seems to think.



But yeah these opinionated anti PS3/Wii things are starting to get really annoying now.

wii is gay and I'm gay for it

23: The author's tone reveals that he is not making an attack on the console, but merely raising concerns.



Regarding the point on online play, he's simply saying that IF Nintendo botches it up, it would be terrible for the Wii. He's not saying that it'd suck out loud, nor is he prematurely comparing it to other consoles and dictating whether it is good or bad. That's why he didn't raise the PS3, because this isn't an attack or attempt to bash the Wii, simply raising it as a concern and a disadvantage when compared to another competitor.



And on the launch list, is his point not valid? Once again, I would like to say that he is merely raising concerns that the Wii does not have a strong launch list. Does he say that the Wii or Nintendo suck because the launch list is in his opinion lacking? No, simply points out that if Nintendo were to have a stronger launch list, the Wii would undoubtedly perform much better in sales.



To clarify his third point, it isn't that the Wii is outright hard to develop for. It is that it is *different* because of the wiimote, and requires a special team to develop for, unlike the other two next-gen consoles which have pretty much the same structure as the consoles before. Of course, other consoles will have their own share of problems, like the PS3 with its OMGCELL complex development structure to maximise its potential, but nonetheless, it is a valid point made.



To conclude, the article is simply trying to say that the Wii, even with all the positive media, is not perfect, and there are still some concerns amidst all the praise for it.

4 Little Potential prob shut the ***** up lol

Umm to bad that the Wii's line up has more diversity than any other launch plus that of 360 and ps3. The reason they only have 2 1st party games is because they have been getting such a lash out from people saying that Nintendo is the only one who makes good games for Nintendo and that 3rd parties worst enemy is Nintendo themself when they make games for there console. So in turn they decided they should back off from the line up and in turn everyone turns back on there words and wants more 1st person titles??? huh?



Online okay okay they never where one up on the online thing but they are trying a medium not for the online games but more for the news/weather/chat because that's what the casual gamer wants (so they think).



Beefed up gamecube. Like it was said in other coments so is the ps3 a beefed up ps2 and the 360 is a beefed up xbox... wow you pinned the tail on the donkey.



Yes dev like the easy ability to make games for the wii but oh wait they have this controller thing to use. So yes that takes another team to implement that feature so in doesn't take long to make the game but it does take awhile to make use of the controller.



Kiddie games.... Okay every system makes kid games yes even xbox, playstation, and psp it's just that Nintendo makes them better and are know for making great kid games. Why sue them for that. Nintendo has all the other adult games (ports remember) multiplatform games and even some that are only for. Granted they don't have GTA but seriously don't we have enough of it? Eh stupid question people love sequals but always balk at them too.... intesting huh
