I love it when someone says something perfectly rational, yet slightly critical of Nintendo in G&T. The screams of "TROOOOOOOOLLLLL" can be heard for miles.
I love my Wii, but it would be nice if there were more than one game out that I felt was worth purchasing.

the wii right now is just "play games you played last year! now with 100% more awful control scheme!"
or "we just heard the Wii is actually selling and we made a game based off the first idea we thought of! plus: travel back in time with our 2001 graphics!"

I fully expect the majority of excellent Wii games to be Nintendo titles for the first year or so. After that maybe we'll start to see some results from games that started development post-E3, i.e. when the Wii started to look pretty awesome.

look, i get that "graphics aren't everything"
but they do make a game more fun if they look good
and just because they're not the selling point doesn't mean you ignore them completely

basically, every system in the first few launch months
not that I disagree. lot of shit coming out for the system. but oh well. Trauma Center and Zelda are basically the best games on the system. there's a bunch of mediocre stuff, and maybe one or two of those will really appeal to someone .. like, I liked Elebits pretty well .. but yeah. super paper mario is the only must-have since Wario Ware or Zelda & Trauma Center back at launch.
I honestly just don't have a problem with wii graphics. I mean, most of the stuff I want to play on it realy doesn't rely on graphics anyway, or at least nothing beyond the already great cartoony 3d look. Games like Trauma Center and Warioware really don't call for the most intense of graphic capabilities.

look
i love cartoony styles
but not when that's the only style that doesn't look like microwaved shit
and yeah, it's all "it doesn't have to look pretty!" and then you look at 360/PS3 games and think "oh wow, wii games look awful"

Yeah, I mean, I know its just me, but I just personally only have a wii for the games I can't get anywhere else, which are pretty much just the cartoony ones.

It's like "Oh hey, the Wii version of that could have fun controls! Nope, it doesn't! Might as well get it for 360."

I"ll buy it. I played the crap out of the first one. I loved sega saturn, even though I didn't buy it until the price dropped to like $20 and the games were going for $5 a piece. But played the crap out of Nights, Virtual On and Last Bronx, those were some bitchin' games.
Keith, I will buy you sushi or give you hugs or something.
I saw this thread (at three pages! how did it get that big without me seeing it?) and I was like "hmm, I wonder if the novelty/fad has worn off enough yet that I won't be the only one pointing out the glaring flaws" and then I come in here and you are saying some hilarious stuff. :^: duder!

I'm really bad at saying when graphics are good.
Like I can't really tell the difference between Gears of War and Halo 2.
Unless it's 64 graphics it all looks the same to me.

Mortal Kombat is supposed to be out in May I think.
It looks really cool. You pull off all the special attacks with the Wiimote or you could even vouch to use the GameCube or Classic Controller if you want to.

I did beat ultimate alliance though
can't wait until April 9th. been kinda disappointed with Wii .. not playing it much, but Super Paper Mario will make it all better
It's actually quite intuitive if unless you have someone else fighting you for an angle.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I haven't even bought Zelda yet

I'm gonna do the combo jumping forever and ever just to see the shy guys cheer me on.
the problem is you often forget that it does that and relax your hand, so it starts spinning
Man what
UA had awesome camera control

Graphics don't matter unless the Gamecube version of a game has superior graphics.

I remember when someone made a thread specifically calling them on that point.
Will you be getting Battalion Wars when it comes out?

maybe
maybe not
I never played the first one
Killer 7 was fucking terrible but would be all right on the Wii
I enjoyed Geist a lot but it looked like shit, so maybe have Retro make Geist 2
It's pretty good
I'm playing it on my Wii

I get scared when EA does good things.

all of G&T going "OMG NIGHTS FOR WII IT'S GOING TO BE SO AWESOME OMGGGGG"
maybe like 5 people actually played the first one

because Nintendo apparently learned to advertise effectively
