Topic: Good Games You Might Not Be Aware Of (Look at Post #1)

Well if people on this site could have a thread without needlessly bashing the other companies, I wouldn't have to defend them constantly.

I realize asking for impartial opinions on a site is a bit of a stretch, but seeing as how I have no brand loyalty, I'll always jump in and defend whoever is getting attacked for no reason.

People easily could have avoided dismissing the other consoles in this thread.

Backing something up doesn't mean people have to use your rules. Sometimes games receive a completely different reception from gamers than they do from the critics. Take the Tales of series for example. The user score on metacritic for games in this series is (almost) always higher than the the metascore as critics rarely give the series the appreciation it deserves. Even so, I'll answer your question, platformers.

My rules? The rules of using an impartial third party rather than falling back on the Nintendo fanboy motto, "But, but everything is opinion!" that's great and all, but also horribly convenient when there are no numbers in your favor. Lol

Thank you for actually answering the question though. It did come after the apparently mandatory speech on my posting style, but we have an answer nonetheless. I feel as if this is a big step for all of us.

Now once I rest up and am on a more convenient platform for list creating, we will take a detailed look at your answer. So I hope you are looking forward to it.

For everyone else, more genres would be greatly beneficial to your point here. After all, if the Wii only has more games in one genre, that would mean it has fewer in all the rest. Ie. not very diverse. So I'm expecting a list of genres to refute when I get back. As well as the usual comments on how my posting style does not fit the typical stereotype for this site, which I am fine with I promise.. lol

Yes, the Wii has good games. I would say that the majority of the critically "Good" games on the Wii are masterpieces. However, people say that the Wii "has no good games" because of a select few reasons. One of them is that there was no consistency in quality game releases. About every two months there was some big-profile game being released for the Xbox 360 or PS3. With the Wii, most people had to wait 3-7 months before we got something well worth playing. There's also the fact that the Wii didn't have a wide range of titles from each genre. I'm sure there is at least one good game in every genre for the Wii, but the problem is that those games usually remained the only competitors on the console. And finally, I think the last reason is that the Wii just did not have many FPS/War games. Whether you like it or not, the market is basically saying that they want games with guns and going against market trends usually means alienating the majority of audiences.

I know they don't just have shooters lol (I own a PS3). But usually when I go into a talk about either system, all I here is talk of shooters... and if you go to look up top games for either system (not downloadable like 3 of those 4 are) the lists usually contain about 70% shooters, 10% OK Rpgs, and 20% other.
and those shooters and Rpgs (at least the american variety) usually include Generic Tough Main character... but everyone has their own reasons to like/dislike a system.

and you forgot this.

Like he was trying to put together a definitive list of colorful, non-shootery games.

Last I checked, multi-million dollar corporations don't need to be defended from the blatherings of blatant fanboys, least of all from you, a random nonaffiliate. Not to say there's anything wrong with pointing out the fact that someone is clearly misinformed, but you really don't need to make it out like it's your job or something. You're not their bodygaurds, and it's not like anyone here is suddenly gonna change thanks to your 'advice'.

Can someone please explain to me the point of this thread? Because I don't see anything going on in here aside from nitpicking, complaining, bickering, and fingerpointing. No one outside of this site is going to bother with this thread (and if they do they'll just shake their head at it), and the people who visit the site regularly probably don't need to be convinced that there are fun games to play on Wii.

@pixelman, they'll be deciding that for themselves, anyways.

If bias PS3 and X-box 360 fans visit this site with the intentions to troll the threads with their bigoted perspective's, they already know what type of reactions they will likely incite. NLife has designated threads specifically dedicated to the discussion of PS3 and X-box 360. This type of discussion shouldn't really even be occurring in the first place.

The ultimate intention of this topic was to explain to people who underestimated the Wii's ability to have great games aside from just first-party titles.

This is all that needs to be said. It's like people's opinions are theories to some of you, and it's your duty to disprove them at every given moment.

Just let it be.

Thank you for this logic in a world of insanity.

Both of you. Kudos.

There are so many people I know who think that the Wii is horrible or has bad games and that gets me mad because they never even played the Wii. I dont get why everyone hates the Wii its a good console.

Well, even though the Wii has sold the most units, just for the sake of comparison, but without any arguments, what are the most popular games on Xbox and on PlayStation...

It is because people don't know the games that are on. Some of them hardly even had reviews. Heavy gamers who already played all the previous consoles and the VC needed a more steady flow of games so they wandered to other consoles and paid less attention to the wii. Relatively Casual or lack of time gamers just assumed that the Wii had only motion sport party games and bought the big name games on other consoles. So people who had the good fortune to play games on the Wii (other than the more super casuals) are either Nintendo fans or drawn to innovation, the VC, the unique charm and so on.

since when has this thread turned from talking about the most underrated wii games into a 'let's attack nintendo' thread? SMH

this is why i don't post on the forums that often here, because there are a few trolls that spring up on the nintendo-related posts and threads.

but back to the topic, yes there are some good wii games that not many people know- it's just that you need to do a bit more soul searching for them on the web.

It won't continue on as long as people don't continue to talk about that subject.

But just look at it like this. What are trolls doing on a site called NINTENDOlife in the first place anyway?

Didn't know you had to worship Nintendo all your life to be part of this site.

Also, we are discussing the topic. If as you posted on the page before this you wanted to show people that the Wii had good games you're in the wrong place. Pretty sure everyone here knows the Wii had some good games, but other consoles also do.

Why you want to completely ignore that I have no idea.

This. smh

What's the point of a discussion if everyone agrees with one another?

Aaargh! I hate confrontation! I just want to stand around with other people and pat each other on the back for saying things we all agree with!

Or something...
