Today i logged onto my beloved Destructoid to see a review of metroid prime 3: corruption, one of the most looked forward to games to grace the wii. Personally i have a wii and don't get me wrong, i love it, it is a fun system (and a comparably priced one at that), but there just haven't been any big titles for the system. It seems like all the games for it have been almost noveltyesque in the effort to draw consumers to the systems biggest feature- the remote. Not that there's anything wrong with playing to the system's strong points, but when the focus seems to be on finding ideas to take advanage of the interactivity of the wii remote and not on finding just good solid games there is definatly something wrong with that in my book. Some of the titles have of course been entertaining and fun but it's about time the system got some real meaty games which can hold their own in a world where the in-depth game market is ruled by giants like the ps3 and the 360. metroid pime 3 is supposed to be the title to change that, which is a welcome change in my book. Personally im hoping hoping this will usher in a change and a new wave of game which will not only fully employ the wii remote well but captivate us with some real immersive gameplay. Hopefully the wii wont always be just a kids toy designed with children in mind as sort of weening system, i look forward to the day when it is regarded as a top level system not only because of its control scheme but because of what developers have done with its capabilies. Here's to the future!
mmm boldalicious.

userbases on all systems need to be more discrematory in my opinion but you are partially right, develpers go where the money is, hopefully people will get tired of crap ports and force developers to put a little mroe time into game development on the Wii so that we cna get more Corruptions.

When Nintendo takes the Wii seriously.
When the userbase starts to discriminate a little more about what they buy for it. In stead of just buying ten of everything that says wii on it.

@KOOOSHEE
I think they're talking about the Wall of Text™.
a) At about the same time they started taking the N64 and Gamecube seriously. Oh, wait…
@ Backflip: I think that was a Sega game. And it sucked.
