Is it just me, or does it seem like this review is a bit too kind to this "game"?

Why buy crap like this when you can download better games from the Xbox Live Dashboard?
Because to do that you would have to buy Microsoft's crap first. Not everyone were that stupid, and we don't have XBox Live. Oh, and because the XBox 360 doesn't have a motion controller and so does not even enter the same ballpark. |

"Launching the Wii with just one big first party title is something of a calculated gamble for Nintendo"
I'd hardly say it was a calculated gamble... if they had more games ready, you better believe they'd get them out for launch day. They had to release the Wii for Xmas 2006 though, and they had to release whatever old shit they could cobble together quickly. |

No, they want to spread the games releases over next year, and not have a big gap in decent releases like the DS, it'll also help people to STOP MOANING.
Excite Truck in January, Smash Bros in February. And then MP3, Galaxy & Pokemon Battle Rev after them. Hopefully they'll also be some more third party support than the usual Sonic Wildfire & Call of Duty 3 (the only other non-Nintendo games I'm looking forward too)

"...but showing them off in a social context. Cunning stunts."
Is this one of those - I dont know the correct english term for it, maybe someone can fill me in - things where you're swapped the letters of the beginning of each word around? What I'm trying to ask is, is Cunning stunts actually Stunning Cunts? You Meeky Chunky you! |

Hmmm... I'm not convinced of this, you know. I'm fairly certain we'll have the same droughts as we usually have. |

£45 for an extra controller... Wow. So a Wii and four controlers (how it's meant to be played) will set you back £315 notes. A bit much IMHO

" Over on 1up they speculated that this was in fact a delibrate attempt to smooch up to the third parties. One of the most common 3rd party complaints is supposedly that Nintendo 1rst party games eat too much of the market for their games. |

"I hope you don't think I'm judging the Wii based on the launch? I was making the point that you shouldn't judge it at launch citing the example of the DS..."
Ah, sorry. I should have read your post more carefully. |

Also is the Wii home of the mini game?
I'm afraid so. I expect a deluge of party-shite to flood the console - everyone will have had enough by February and be gagging for something different. Trouble is, I don't think there's enough 'different' stuff lined up, as publishers probably assumed that the Wii would be a Gamecube-style commercial stinker and so sunk their resources into PS/360. It'll take a while to catch up now. I reckon Nintendo have deliberately stretched out their first-part release schedule because of this. I understood Mario and Metroid to be ready for release by now, but we'll have to wait in order for Nintendo to fill the gaps in the schedule. imo. |

Console in some launch games only average shocker! BAN THIS SICK FILTH!
Honestly, with something as innovative as the Wii I kind of expected some stuff to fall short at launch while developers get to grips (oo-er) with the thing. More so than more normal consoles. Wii'll see how things develop in the mid to long term. Sorry. I'll get me coat. |

smelly: Come on. Microsoft bet on a new title and so did Sony. Don't attack them for that.
Microsoft did both Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero. Sony did Resistance Fall of Man and Untold Legends. Nintendo had one big first party title ready and some other great games to introduce gamers to the new toy. |

>Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero.
Neither of which were great games were they? Not really first party either, 2nd party rare games.. But okay i'll stand corrected. >Resistance Fall of Man and Untold Legends. Obviously i havent had chance to play ps3 to know if they're any good myself.. but I'll give them resistance as it's got some good review scores (hadnt heard of it until you just posted that though - embarrasingly). But yeah, if you look at average wii review scores (and I hate looking at scores), the wii launch line up is VERY good in comparision with others |

"Nintendo has managed to come up with a way of not only seamlessly demonstrating the console's accessibility, but showing them off in a social context. Cunning stunts."
Right as that may be, 'cunning stunts' is a slippy phrase to be used for casual readers like me. I misread that as, uh, well... I swapped the initial sounds. Or was that a Freudian slip? |
