I feel I need to add a different perspective to this increasing Wii ***** fest.
Without doubt every single console has a slow first year when it comes to releasing games and content bar none. When I bought the PS2 at launch they had SSX and Timesplitters as launch games and after that? Nothing......for ages! I got so desperate for a new game I ended up buying Smuggler's Run and that was an awful game.
Granted this is true but theres no logical reason for it happening to every console.
What I am saying is it's still early days, yes it's been 6 months but in console terms that's not a lot and these past couple of months are notoriously slow in the games industry...FACT
Yup thats a fact for sure but its a changing the 360 has had some hitters in this season and the PS3 was launched
Okay, so Metroid has been put back and so has Mario Galaxy but what do you want? For it to be rushed and half arsed? No, of course not because some of the Wii's launch games were exactly like that and what happened? People b**ched about it! Sometimes I feel Nintendo can't win.
A happy medium, finish the game then release it, im pretty sure for Nintendo to talk about Mario galaxy as 'should hit launch game' and now were talking TBC Q4 2007, I think Nintendo are taking the profitable ****. Its not that the content isn't ready Nintendo are just making us wait for a big spending season. We were promised these games would be here by now and they arn't. We won't see them till Autumn. If im wrong and they arn't finished Nintendo have still broke many a promise in convincing me to buy and keep a wii.
So the friend code system for online play isn't perfect and I would prefer to not have this system but to be honest, I think when Metroid comes out and I'm running around online blasting people to kingdom come I don't think I'll care that I had to type in some codes.
Metroids not confirmed online, would make sense but then again so would not using wii codes for every game.
Surely nobody really cares that the Wii can't play CD's do they??? The Wiimote's can only hold info on about 12 Mii's, how the hell can they fit music onto it?? Also, I'm sure the "chat" stuff you're referring to will happen eventually as will the DS connectivity but WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST WAIT?
Xbox live began more organised and better implimented than this, that was 5 years ago as for music on the wiimote that was a bit foolish of me, sorry
Oh and by the way, Wii IS a gimmick? DS is "revolutionary"? Since when has touch screen been revolutionary?? I do like the DS but the majority of DS games use touch screen mainly to select a menu WOOOOW!!
The DS and the Wii have a lot in common but the way many games use the DS is so much more intresting and clever than a few sword swinging animations ectra. (tho the godfather really does excell here)
Just remember.....patience is a virtue
