indeed it is... :thumbsup

What the deuce?!

Actually, I'd give the title of most innovative to Nintendo...but not for the Wii. The Nintendo DS is my favorite gaming platform at the moment. If I'm not mistaken, it's also the biggest selling.

Name one title aside from Super Smash Brothers that might make a mark in 2008, My Horse and Me? Nintendo has 3 first party titles slated for release this year...2 of which are "rehashes" like you mentioned the others doing (Super Smash and MarioKart). No More Heroes was supposed to be some sort of saving grace for hardcore gamers who own a Wii, but again...while innovative, it was a TOTAL let down. Even the developer has said he feels he's been let down by Nintendo and the Wii. Check the game review sites and see how the game scores hold up...they don't.

I'm not dismissing it at all. It is what it is. A console that's geared to get people who don't play video games into games. I bought one for my parents for Christmas and they love it. We have one and it sits collecting dust, because games worth playing have been few and far between. Zelda, Mario...that's about it. It's been a success, and with success comes a flood of garbage games...and that much no one can deny.

IMO
1. 360 - Graphics, Games, LIVE, GoW, Halo
2. Wii - Fun gameplay, innovative controls, great multiplayer, MARIO!
3. PS3 - ? Metal Gear Solid ?

I like Ps3 :winkwink:

You named one yourself ... lol ... MarioKart is going to sell a shit load ...

also ... what... because the developer has a shit game, he's blaming Nintendo?

You know ... I started Twisted Illustration up two years ago ... before that, I spent 8 years in the games industry (I still do development work for some studios now) ... I worked for Konami, EA etc ... worked on Fifa, Madden, Need for Speed Carbon etc ...

and you know ... Nintendo did noththing to hinder our performance development wise. The publisher was always the problem.

So actually, blaming the console company is a very bad excuse ... and more often than not, a really lame way of offloading the blame because you simply fucked up your development :)

I know what I'm talking about :)

Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, all have guidelines and rules ... but most of the ones I encountered from Nintendo were "You're using the controller in the wrong place and you've taken the logo off" or "You're using the Nintendo brand where you shouldn't be" etc ..

The Wii isn't the best selling console out there for no reason =)

I see a wii in my future. They're just so darned fun to play with friends. For my serious gaming, I have a powerful enough pc to keep me occupied. I have been informed by my boyfriend, though, that we're going to get a PS3 the day the next GranTourismo game comes out.

I really like new Metriod and Zelda for wii. I also like the ability to download old NES, SNES, N64 games for the wii.

Why do you have to pick only 1 gaming system? Buy them all, their pretty cheap.

Well besides the fact that the 360 fanboys are as about as snobbish and annoying as Mac fanboys and FireFox fanboys. Maybe it's the 16% failure rate of the 360. that's right 1 out of every 6 XBOX 360 will get teh Red Ring Of Death. PS3 fail rate 3%

51 consoles

Um... wow much good feedback... I guess I will start with the 360... go from there! Lets see how that goes...
