Promises, Promises: Nintendo Wii

Gamecyte writes: "As the kid-tested, mother-approved - hell, grandmother-approved - game console whose demand continues to outstrip supply over a year after release, the Nintendo Wii has certainly caused a stir - but not quite the all-out Revolution its creators originally hyped. Wii online sucks. There are few compelling hardcore games. For every critically acclaimed title that actually uses the Wii's motion-sensing controls to some effect, there's a steaming bucketful of shovelware with tacked-on functionality - and clip-on plastic attachments.

What can the 10.2 million American Wii owners do about it? Very little. They've bought into the Nintendo club, and now they're stuck with whatever the Wii has to offer. But what they can do is pay better attention next time, and - having had a look at some of Nintendo's track record here - decide whether they want to trust the words of Nintendo execs in future."

All of this is garbage. He can think that but Wii is not as bad as they say it is. The motion controls in the games are fun and make a more interesting experience, if they say it sucks then why does Sony and Microsoft want to steal the idea from Nintendo?. Yes the online play can be better (though Smash Bros online is fun, so is Mario Kart). I would like to see more games with wi-fi but for now I'm fine. The Wii may not live up to the standards of some people that attack Nintendo everytime they do something they don't like but then why is the top selling system and beating Xbox and Xbox had a year head start?, what does that tell you, Wii is more popular for every type of gamer out there.

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
