The X Button - Fly With the High

The Wii menu isn't the problem. the outdated tech, over-reliance on gimmicks, uncomfortable and over-expensive control set ups, last gen game ports at full retail as selling points and massive amounts of shovelware are. But yes, because I don't think the same as you on the matter, obviously I'M the one that's wrong.

I'm done arguing this and won't be responding again, but I think Wii's ever declining game sales for the most part prove that the majority don't find the idea of swinging their arms around over the more convenient pressing of a button as much fun as you.

At least I have Suda on my side.

Because he said that he did borrow elements from other works? That's because every idea anywhere has already been used. What we see now in most media today is an attempt to give new ideas a fresh spin with made up words, good character development and good looking overall design.

But who cares, you never fully said whether or not you like the game. You made a statement to start riling up some lightly heated conversation, you're a troll. You're looking to make trouble where there isn't any. You've done it in this thread and others.

If you like the game, fine, if you don't, fine. Just... start contributing something other than what you've done so far.

And I don't see what was answered there either, you have have still yet to explain in what way I am a "fanboy", or is this just your knee jerk response to anyone who offers justified criticism of anything Nintendo related?

So you're calling No More Heroes 2, Shattered Memories, Tastunoko vs. Capcom, MadWorld, Fragile, Muramasa, and Sky Crawlers all shovelware, last-gen ports and nothing but gimmicks?

So while you may not be a fanboy to one console, you are obviously a troll and a Nintendo-hater.

Certainly the Wii has some notable titles but come on. Let's be honest with ourselves here. Those titles are few and far between. Especially when you discount all the stuff that is just a port of a last gen game, I think you'd be hard pressed to find even a dozen really good titles for it.

Is it weird for me to look foward to Ar Tonelico 3? I don't like the whole undressing thing, but I really enjoyed the first two games because of the gameplay, music and characters. Really, things can't get much better than charging Replakia and unleashing certain doom upon your enemy!

Why is it weird to look forward to a game franchise you like? Don't let others opinions keep you from anticipating and enjoying games you like. In fact, tell them to shove it!

I disagree, as I had no problem finding the titles I wanted during the holidays. Wii has some excellent yet very overlooked software out there.

Would you mind elaborating on what games exactly you're referring to? I'm curious whether we just disagree about a lot of games quality or if you're referring to titles I may have missed.

Mario Galaxy, Punch Out, MadWorld, Muramasa, A Boy and His Blob, Silent Hill:Shattered Memories, NMH/Red Steel bundle, NSMBWii, Final Fantasy CC: Crystal Bearers, Rune Factory Frontier, Little King's Story, Trauma Center, also some WiiWare titles like LostWinds, World of Goo, the ReBirth series, and that new GameArts game.

Well, we may just have different views on this one. I for one though Red Steel was awful. The controls really never worked right and never lived up to expectations. Madworld was okay (some pretty fun boss fights) but I can't help but think that it would be largely forgotten if not for it's distinctive style. It was otherwise a very dull and generic brawler which gained very little from the motion controls. Slogging through the pre-boss levels was painfully boring. The same can largely be said of NMH1. It's certainly distinctive enough but I found I was really only playing it for the boss fights. The other combat was not especially interesting and the driving/minigames were painful.

I'll admit I never played Muramasa or Punch Out although I mean to at some point so I'd certainly agree with those. I must say I'm skeptical about Crystal Bearers though in light of it's fairly brutal review scores. I'm not sure about the rest. My complaint though is that even if I were to give you the benefit of the doubt about all those others it's pretty poor when you consider that the Wii is over 3 years old. I mean, putting aside Wiiware games, that's only about a half dozen games that I wouldn't outright disagree are good. You do the math and that's only four games worth playing a year. Whereas you look at other systems and it seems like there's easily another game worth playing coming out every few weeks (on average anyway). The Wii looks to have a stronger lineup for 2010 so hopefully it will get better but so far I would have to describe it as far inferior.
