I just got done with my frustration at Nintendo. Dear...god...
Alright, Nintendo has pretty much shot themself in the face. Not even the foot this time. The face. Why?
1) Half the Wii games announced (probably more towards 2/3rds) require the wii fit pad. The new snowboarding game requires the ability to stand on it and move while balancing yourself. Good luck to any gamer that's not great with balance or is out of shape.
2) The Wii MotionPlus, or the Wii "What the controller should have been from the start"...yeah, it makes the Wii controller more responsive to motion, etc etc...great, where was this two years ago?
3) Wii Music. Or, "How to play air (fill in the blank) while your Mii's and your Wii do the work for you". Yes, the object of the game is just to move around like you're playing, while the game ACTUALLY plays it for you. You don't have to play in rythym. You don't play specific notes. If you want to know how this works, turn on a music video, grab your Wiimote and Nunchuck, and play air guitar while holding it. You've effectively beta tested Wii Music.
4) The first 30 minutes was all about how well the Wii and DS were doing. Great. Noone gives a pomegranate. Move it along, tell us why the Wii and DS WONT tank in the next year.
5) I should have known that after Reggie called Animal Crossing a "Hardcore Game" that he was delusional. He promised alot of surprises for hardcore gamers, and delivered a whopping total of none. GTA for DS? Animal Crossing? Wii Sports Resort? Howsabout Zelda? Kid Icarus? EARTHBOUND?
Every single site that was blogging on it shows how disappointed they are. I got to see the event live and I was heavily disappointed. What the hell? And I think they need to check their facts...stating the Wii has a bigger library than the PS3 and the XBox 360...right. Lies. All lies. I'm actually, for the first time ever, not disappointed in myself for selling my Wii.
