Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

No need for 'I told you so's
Still waitin' for a rad game

really
I mean I'd have to charge you more than I paid for it
you know
so it didn't feel like a total waste of a year of my life
I do get bitched at by fifty people at a time when I say "I dunno, might just be a gimmicky fad," though. How many times have I been accused of "hating fun" in the name of the Wii specifically?
DOOD!
I still do, but I think it's gonna get pidgeonholed into this casual games bullshit for old people and myspace kids who think Sonic 1 is "too hard"
Yeah, alright, I suppose you do have a few 'I told you so's to dole out.

I thought that it had potential as well, but I said "hey, let's see where it actually goes, cause this could be anywhere from super-awesome to complete shitpile." Then I got bitched at for a full year. And now, oh hey, it's bullshit.
The reason it sold so many units wasn't because it was good, or had good games, it's because it was marketed well. That's kind of the reality for almost any console's first year. The marketing was aimed at non-gamers. It's not too hard to figure out that non-gamers don't buy games, and, of course, if you're making games for non-gamers, there's no benefit to making GOOD games because they don't know the difference. This sets up a scenario where shovelware is the best move, and where console owners aren't even going to buy very much anyway, so third-party devs get left in the cold. That's precisely the pidgeonholing you're describing, and it's the same marketing that got the huge install base that has created it. That and the fact that the system itself sucks, so it can't even play games like Bioshock or Uncharted or whatever.
my fiancee will fucking play the hell out of a game like this

That's how I felt after completing Galaxies, but then I picked up Fire Emblem yesterday. Good shit.
Also, they put in cooldowns of 2 turns for spells like stun, which is utter bullshit. Chaining stuns and such is what made late game puzzle quest fun against dudes with a billion hps.
Yeah, I'm waiting for smash, as I have been since like forever ago.
VC is a kinda fun, but as i don't know shit about sega/tg16 games, i've just picked up my snes favs and a couple nes games.
Meanwhile, i'd love to play dead rising, crackdown, ninja gaiden, gears, mass effect, bioshock, etc etc, but i can't afford another systems.
piss.
As for the comic, the art style is awesome, but it seems like they just kinda threw a bunch of words together for it.

wait..
"the sharks pose no threat"? wtf kind of pansy ass game is this.
we want sharks with fricken lasers and ableone that'll suck your face off and backstabbing ninja sea monkeys that steal your gold damn it.
So you swim around and look at fish right?
Sounds cool I guess.
I mean in FPSs you wander around pulling a trigger and in X game you wander around doing X right?
It's just a different thing to do on the Wii.

but I don't have a wii
oh well
Maybe its just me, but I've throughly enjoyed my Wii (well my Girl Friends Wii anyway) I played the shit out of Zelda, Mario, Metroid Prime 3, Resident Evil UC, Ghost Squad, and we have Mario Party and Wii Sports parties every few weeks. I think the Wii has some really great games on it. Plus I have SSBB and No More Heroes to look forward to.
Oh also I enjoy going to my buddies house and showing everyone my mad Bonk's Adventure skills.
How is Resident Evil UC?

I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
How edgy you are.
This will all change when Smash comes out and I can imagine playing it almost exclusively for months.

Also I thought it was "kidtendo," when did the kids who played Nintendo grow up and turn out to be faggots?
Oh shit wait. That's...that's me.
Also I'm lookin forward to the PA game.

but otherwise, yeah the wii is pretty lacking in the games department

i would be lying if i said i didn't want to play it
i really want to play it
i love the ocean
Yeah, that's kind of the problem. There are a few really good games, although lately they've been fairly rinse-and-repeat, which is not always bad. But there just aren't enough games.
Defender, I sung a song about you in the SE++ band thread (somebody else wrote it), nobody has commented on it yet so I guess it doesn't suck or rock too hard
While I will never own a Nintendo Wii, I sure do wish I had a friend who owned one so I can play the new Super Smash Bros. I loved Melee.
I love the games I have for it and don't consider any part of it a disappointment
Except
I distinctly remember Nintendo saying they were going to try to have better relations with third party developers this go around
Meanwhile they still seem to act as if they have an actual hatred for them
They want be loved
But it has to be on their terms
Actually I wouldn't even mind that if it didn't mean I can't find any decent games for less than $50

Good games.
There aren't enough good games.
Because you should certainly take what I said seriously.
