While I could care less about his rant against the Wii itself, he's absolutely right. Nintendo doesn't give a fine fuck about games. Nintendo is about consumer whoredom. I don't have a problem with the Wii's specs. It's boring as fuck to play most games on it though.
I think this arguement can be divided into two opposing sides, there are those of us who grew up with NES and gameboys and have remained appreciative of the numerous Nintendo franchises that have maintained themselves to be fresh, innovative, if maybe a little associated with "kiddy" games. We have remained respectful of…
where in that article is it stated that this is about the graphics? and i think the guy is quite right. wii is an upgraded cube with a remote. quite weak for something that want~s to be the next gen nintendo box and has to have a shelf life of around half a decade. has there ever been a system that was so underpowered…
I got to agree with Uly about the "games as an art" comments. I really think that guy was bashing Nintendo way too hard.

Nintendo is not in the pissing match Sony and MS are in, they have made that pretty clear. They think they can make fun games with the hardware they have. I'm willing to see what they can do. They are also…
Forgive me if i made it appear that I my arguement was all that the innovation is about cheap hardware and lower dev/consumer price. Well, no it surely wouldnt hurt for the system to be powerful, and really my arguement was that implementation of IR and Motion sensing was Nintendos attempt to make a fresh new experience. I…
It may be a little harsh, but it's nice to see somebody say it. Frankly, while it's really hard to like Sony these days, it's even harder for me not to shake my head in disbelief whenever I see people bashing the PS3 for its hardware. Supposedly it's bad that the PS3 is less powerful than the 360, but the Wii? The Wii is…
