Our connection here is the weakness, I guess Youtube needs some time to process it

The real problem is will anyone accept anything on the wii that isn't a Miyamoto game? Can't say I'm really excited for much coming out...maybe if they announce a phoenix wright or advance wars game...but until then the Miyamoto games are likely going to be the most "acceptable" wii games.

OK we'll settle for Nieros moobs?

@ Pistolaero - because of sales pressure. Nintendo is just like any big business -- they need to create revenue. The top selling games were GTA, Halo, etc and they were able to offset that with some innovation with the Wii, but then we're here sitting on our hands until Q4 when Mario Galaxy comes out.

Red Steel is a perfect example of this -- clever concept but it looks awful and turned a lot of people off due to that. The Wii wasn't enough in that case.

"Many of us content that it is all about the games, but if the Wiimote was a bluetooth PS3 accessory and Nintendo became a games-only publisher like Sega I think consumers would be happier (although perhaps more likely to get shot at). Just my 2 cents."

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

oh there we go!

Forgiveness all round!

@Neiro

Not really defending Red Steel (I think it was half-assed in all the wrong places), but I think it was the gameplay that turned people off, not the visuals. Visually I think it's one of the more stunning titles to be released on the Wii, it's just the sword fighting and lack of visceral-ness that really ruined it for lots of people. I mean come on, there's a frickin' blood covered sword on the front of the box, yet I felt like a parapalegic when I finally got to swing my katana around.

Poor design, that's what we need less of.

videos working, the moobs job is done here.

Nintendo fanboys will accept every piece of crap that has 'Mario' or 'Zelda' written on it.So,Mr.Miyamoto doesn't have to worry about that.

I think the graphics problem with Red Steel was that the game was rushed for launch. Seeing what was being done with the Cube at the end of it's lifespan, Wii games can look MUCH better. But because publishers are doing a lot of PS2/PSP to Wii ports right now to make a quick buck, we may not see what the Wii can really do for a while from third parties. The people who are saying "OMG WII GAMES LOOK LIKE THE N64" are frankly just being idiots.

Even though the Wii is third place in the graphics race, plenty of people seem to be buying them, and I've heard dozens and dozens of anecdotes from people who've seen their non-gamer family members pick up a video game for the first time and have an absolute blast. I saw the same thing when I witnessed my mom and dad hiding the DS from each other so they could get dibs on playing Brain Age first. I still play classic arcade games through Gametap all the time. I still play shitty little flash games. Why? Because they're fun. I don't need 7.1 sound and 1080p to enjoy myself. Both those things are cool certainly. But it's like comparing a big budget Hollywood flick to a smaller independent movie. I might not get awesome CGI and rad explosions in the latter, but more often than not I enjoy myself more. Nintendo made a tiny, cheap, and quiet little console to appeal to those people who normally are intimidated by game systems. While that may not make the hardcore gamer happy, that's making non-gamers into new gamers. And if the Wii user base comes even close to DS numbers (which they seem to be on track to doing), we'll get the serious games we're looking for soon enough. Even if they aren't as shiny.

Horrifing picture.. the horrors..

Flow was pretty accurate with the sixaxis, I think one of the things he's trying to get across is: the PS3 can (almost) already do what the wii does now. Now; the games made by 1st-party-nintendo, Sony doesn't compete, but that software based, not hardware.

So this might be a glimps of a future nintendo's fate similar to Sega?
