nintendo has gone to the dogs

[MyNutsYourChin]

When the NES came out, it showed the world that gaming wasn't limited to the computer literate among other things like improved graphics, gameplay, and market appeal. In effect, it expanded the gaming demographic to include more and different gamers.

Additionally, peripherals ran rampant with the NES. It had a light gun, robot, power pad, power glove, arcade stick, multiple gamepad attachments, and other third party attempts as well. Nintendo has always tried to make gameplay more interactive and immersive. Unfortunately, failures were bound to happen, like the robot.

The Wii is in the process of repeating the NES's success by following a similar market strategy (increasing the gaming demographic once again) and releasing a few peripherals that will appeal to selections of that new demographic.

My point is, if you view Nintendo as being "gone to the dogs" then you should have always viewed them that way because their concept of what gaming should be, has not changed since the 1980's. Personally, I think they know what they're doing and they do it better than any other gaming company.

A fps where you had to bring out the wii riffle to use big guns rifles/shot guns etc, and for 45s, 9s etc you use the zapper. Or not...

[BigFART]

Another piece of plastic that I'm not going to buy.

[Dogswithguns]

@Honeal2G.... Hey, did you say my name "Dogs"? - that's me. Be naice. j/k

[okcomputer]

Seriously.. why buys all this crap for their wii? With all the attachments the wii ends up being more expensive than both the ps3 and 360

[Adamalicious]

Yeah I really don't want a dozen pieces of plastic that I have to put my controller in. I just want to pick it up and start playing.

[MACHone]

This peripheral will surely teach children to shoot each other. Let's slap an AO rating on it! (Hopefully, you all can detect my sarcasm.)

Oh, and keep this away from Richard Cheney.

[DiLeCtioN]

buy it

[Pharmaecopia]

You don't have to buy it if you don't like it, that's the beauty of free will. Now, maybe someone will see one of these guy accessories and just love it. Having more than one option and choice of style is never a bad thing.
