Some new Wii impressions broke today. Some good. Some not so good.
- Monster Truck 4×4 and GT Pro
- Red Steel
- Rayman Raving Rabbids
- Splinter Cell Double Agent
- Hands-on multi games (“Wii is a party not true system”)
- Phoenix Wright II (DS)
I hope people realize not everygame is going to be a home run. The real question is, how many will and how scalable and in-depth will Wii be across several different platforms? That’s always been the biggest question in my mind.
Of course this is a new step in video games, it's not a new bible or something. think of this Wii things as "video games with updated technology that allows for new ways of playing" not as a revolutionary way to play the same old games. It more of a step in "virtual reality video games" rather than "more offspring of the Atari generation"
Whoah, that steering wheel thing will be AWESOME! Will excite truck come with something like that, or is that just with these games?
The guy at bit-tech confirmed some of my fears. I still have this small fear that the Wii will be, like he said, a novelty. Something that you only whip out to impress your friends (of which I have none) …
The Bit-tech buy's opinions dont confirm anything. Seriously, I'm not being a fanboy on this. Here's what I mean.There are TONS of people online who honestly say that Wii has been a fun and generally innovative experience. Now, all of a sudden, one British guy comes out and says he doesn't really think it's that great and suddenly people's "fears are confirmed."I dont know about you, but Iv'e noticed since I was young that not every video game console is for everyone. Sega people usually didn't want to play Nintendo, vice-versa. Wanna know why? They were two different experiences (albiet, pretty similar, but still different in execution). I think it'll be the same this time around.My point is, dont expect Wii to be a hit with everyone. Because some people wont like it. Period. That's just how new technology works.(Though I will add that he sounded like he had already made his mind up before he entered the room.)
