Lightsaber combat for the Wii

[M@RS]

I love to play the Wii it's fun, I like to play baseball and stuff, it's great fun

[RoxStar]

I don't know why everyone complains. I have fun, usually end up dizzy but I have fun.

 

And anyone that tells me Mario Kart on the Wii isn't fun is a soulless devil who is hereby dead to me.

 

QFT. The new Mario Kart is great :V

[BongoBob]

Pfft. It's ok. But the removal of manaully controlling the power slide mini boosts in single player made me sad in the pants D:

[Lightsaberboy]

i manually control the power boosts in single player all the time.

Hiya folks. I just thought I'd drop by to say '**** Wii'. That's it for this year. Supposing anyone's still talking about the Wii this time next year, I'll see you then.

You can just select manual mode instead of automatic, can't you?

Wii is good for one thing. Buying in September and selling in December at a massively inflated price.

[Prime]

The Wii doesn't fail, the game developers do.

Unfortunately the end result is the same.

Speaking as a gamer who owns a Wii and is also a father of young children, I think the Wii is an extremely sucessful system. It engages the kids unlike any other system. The most of the games are designed to be interactive, vibrant, unique and/or very fun(in a silly, unadulterated, unmitigated, childlike fun).

 

But speaking as a Gamer who sometimes just wants a mature, graphically intense, actioneer or adventure game, or would just plain like to see a much more advanced step forward in the use of the hardware the Wii has available, (i.e. freeform Sword/lightsaber control) and quite frankly much of those advances just seem logical given the capabilitiies of the system hardware.) I think the Wii fails miserably. The Wii is pandering to the young kids and their parents, which is a viable market. However, that market grows up and matures and will just move on to the other systems if you don't give them a reason to stay with you. Nintendo, just doesn't grasp that. They make the games and system just engaging enough to keep a 3-10 year olds happy, and quit at that.

 

But overall, the father in me, as well as the little kid in me, loves the Wii and feels it delivers more than it fails, but it certainly isn't without it's shortcomings. Sadly, all of which are easily addressed, but no one at Nintendo seems to care about that.
