Re: The Wii

I think that's kind of what gaming has come to. Sure people still enjoy the super involved RPGs, but some people just want to put a game in and play it without any type of learning curve.

I think that is an ignorant statement TMC, because not all games on the Wii are that simple. The only reason Wii Sports is a simple games is because it is more of a intro on how to get use to motion based controller. It gets you use to the system.

Like I said I have played Madden and seen Zelda played, they are not easy games.

Just try it out TMC, and other games beside Wii Sports. Believe me, Nintendo is getting such a hard rap, but the Wii really is a good system. This is coming from a solid PS guy.

Listen, I think you misunderstood TMC.

What he was trying to say was that the Wii is a console designed for simpletons, and anyone with an IQ higher than a pet rock would not have much fun.

TMC does have a point though. Nintendo is going after a different demographic. They're not concerned about the hardcore gamers, those people will go for the PS3 or 360. Nintendo is trying to branch out to those who don't play typically play video games and from the sounds of it they are succeeding.

sure they are with their basic games such as Wii Sports, but just because some games involvement movement does not automatically mean they are easier.

Zelda and even Madden, are not easy just because you have to move your arms.
