"It seems to me that a 'true' hardcore gamer has a Wii to play Nintendo first party titles, and a 360 or PS3 to play everything else. Of course, some true hard core gamers can't afford multiple consoles, but my guess is that the majority of these own a 360 or PS3, since the number of third party and first party 'great' games available vastly exceeds the number of first party, great games on the Wii." - Michael Pachter
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Welcome to A Late Look, a series of article where I take a belated look at games from yesteryear that I missed out on the first time around. Not quite review and not quite rant, it’s more a casual assessment of what I – the gamer of the future – consider to be each game’s strengths and weaknesses in retrospect.
Just last month Nintendo released a remake of the cult-classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, so what better time could there possibly be to take a look not at that game, and not at its original, but at the Nintendo 64 game from 2000? None is what I say! This very first release in the Paper Mario series will also be my first entry point. So, let’s get to it."
Still remembered as one of the best Sonic games of all time, I believe it's time Sonic Unleashed gets its overdue remaster after Sonic x Shadow Generations.
I think it's best we leave these games we're they belong...in the past
Secret Rings, Unleashed, Black Knight etc, they weren't the best at least enough for a remaster
Generations is getting one because they had something easy to shove Shadow into before the Sonic 3 film and it's probably the better ones they've did over the past decade or so.
The Animal Crossing franchise may lean towards casual gaming, but it has laid the foundation for a future title to have a survival mode.
There is no market for those games on the console... end of story.
Wii gamers need to buy Muramasa
Didn't anyone mention that Call of Duty and Resident Evil games sell well on Wii? Conduit sold well, they're making a sequel.
MadWorld didn't sell well because it's black and white, short, repetitive, no replay value, and because there is a guy with a chainsaw on the cover (red box art would have helped it greatly). House of the Dead Overkill didn't sell, but House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return sold about 900,000, close ot 1 million.
... I stop caring after seeing the "Pachter Explains" bit.
What he should explain is how he got his job in the first place...
