Wii still overrated?

Published by Christian at 5:56 pm

One blogger gives his opinion. Of course, I stopped taking the blog entry seriously by the first sentence, where the author talks about Wii’s October release date. So why am I posting this? I think in order to have a fair evaluation of anything (such as the Wii), it has to be looked at from different perspectives.

Yes, there was Zelda, touted as a more “mature” Zelda. This intrigued me, but after getting through a fair portion of the game, I was put off by the enormous amounts of immature aspects such as the annoying child-like creature that giggles and lectures you when it’s not making you its bitch. I don’t need child-like shadow creatures talking to me, or otherwise being in my games. For lack of a better word, this is a Japanesey factor that I prefer my games be without, but perhaps this is because I like mature titles with a more Euro-American flaire to them, as my love of anime begins and stops at Voltron.

Granted, I hope there are more perspectives taking an objective look at the Wii without getting the basic facts wrong. Hit the link if you want to read the rest of the article.

    yeah…. October release… ok, fine, type. But in no form of math in this plane of existence has the Wii been out for five months. It will be three months this coming Monday. Still upset at the lack of games “this far into the Wii’s lifetime”? It’s still a freakin’ infant. Yeah, you should wait until the 6 month mark before starting to expect something reasonably “awesome”. That won’t happen until MAY!!

    Jesus people need to learn patience. Be glad you have a Wii. I’m still waiting to find one myself.

    Hooy is absolutely right..
    It would be nice to have something more then Wii sports to enjoy with the family though.
