I love how everyone was all OMG WII IS SO INNOVATIVE AND TEH BESTEST and now you all are ITS GIMMICKY WITH NO GOOD GAMES. Nintendo was preparing to move to the casual gamer market from the get-go on the Wii (thanks in part to dropping popularity with the N64 and Gamecube). I mean, honestly, what is it with you guys? Don't get me wrong -- I think with the relative success of the Wii, they should do everything in their power to capitalize on what it can offer instead of "the same old mini-games" most people seem to complain about (nevermind the fact that it's only been out here in the U.S. for just a little over a YEAR -- do you expect these people to publish a game on the Wii from concept to finished product that quickly?) WE WANT QUALITY GAMES THAT MAKE THE VIDEO GAME MEDIUM RESPECTABLE and WE WANT INSTANT GRATIFICATION just can't happen at the same time.
With that said, I've been playing Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 since Christmas, though admittedly not as much as I'd like because I moved the Wii to the basement where it's freakin' COLD (but on a very nice 52" widescreen high-def. TV). I'm biased, though, because I could never quite get used to the Xbox 360 controller with stuff like Gears of War or Halo.
