Malenko, don't take this the wrong way, but most of the games on that list are crappy independent titles that you can breeze through in an hour or are so underwhelming they could be ported to a cell phone. I meant AAA titles.
I mean when you are listing the typing part of typing of the dead OK, you are grasping at straws.
Like I said, the PC hasn't had a major exclusive title in over 10 years.
Most triple A titles aren't developed for just 1 system, unless its first party like Nintendo. Typing of the dead is great, beyond just good. Not only do I have a fun way to try and improve my typing, I have a "light gun" game to play too (yes, I use a mouse, its still fun) and it cost me $10. I had a blast playing the original typing of the dead on dreamcast. I for one have found a lot more fun per dollar in "crappy independent" games than big budget titles. Example, Assassins Creed III sucked and I dropped $60 on it. Retro City Rampage is an ode to all the games I played growing up as a kid and it cost me like $5. I even made a effort to not list FPS games, you make me sad.
Ok, your turn, name a good WiiU exclusive not made by Nintendo (or any of its studios) that's awesome. Go ahead, I'll wait.
I know youre a nintendo fanboi, and thats cool but....
Nintendo can't go the route of Sega, it's impossible. Sega always copied what Nintendo did... Nintendo, on the other hand, designs their consoles based around games they want to make. You can't make Nintendo games on anything else but Nintendo hardware.
Rly? I had no problem playing any NES game, SNES game and most N64 games on my xbox1.
Wii was waggle shovelware.
And for the record, I'm not a big FPS guy or a repeat sports game buyer. I typically pick up the latest NHL if it adds something new. I didnt pick up NHL 14 because I dont consider "leaky goalies" a feature.
You are seriously going to compare what are essentially mini games to REAL games? And seriously you are going to count typing of the dead when I played it YEARS ago on the wii, only with a superior gun controller? Hell it was released for the ps3 a couple of years ago as well. I bought typing of the dead... it was a great novelty... for an afternoon. On the other hand I went back to House on the Wii over and over again, because I could play with a gun. TOTDOK disappointingly doesn't even support multiplayer unless you do it online.
I don't know if you are trolling or what... but the system architecture of the NES/SNES ect is what made those games possible and great. Emulation doesn't fall into the equation because that game has already been built. Also if you enjoyed playing those games with an inferior d-pad then more power to you, I'll stick to a real one myself. An inferior d-pad, attached to a controller, I might add, that was a blatent rip-off of the snes controller. Seriously think before you type this stuff man, you aren't making any sense. The xbox, or the gamepad as we know it wouldn't even exist without Nintendo. Prior to the nes all game controllers looked like 2600 joysticks.
I think you guys are confused... I have played nearly every game on that list you gave... all of those games... they just aren't full-sized games. Have I played some of those games and even enjoyed them? Sure! Would I buy a PC just to play those games... hell no! On the other hand there are games on all of the major consoles I could see myself buying a system just to play (except the ps4 and xbone, but they are brand new... give them time). THAT is the difference. I can get a great deal of enjoyment out of throwback and indie games, but they weren't made 30 years ago so their length and lack of content/replay value becomes and issue.
Also to further the point along you can NOT compare a game that costs 5 dollars to one that costs 60. One is a AAA game and one is not. That was kind of my point. If you are going to go that route then we are all borked because the iOS/Android market is the most viable gaming platform... after all they sell millions upon millions of their crappy 1 dollar mini games.
Why would I need to name an exclusive for the Wii/Wii U not made by Nintendo? The whole point of getting a Nintendo console is to play Nintendo games on it and the fact that they ARE exclusive was my entire argument. I think I've hit a nerve here, but I'm not sure why... I'm just speaking the truth, namely the pc master race died around the time the 360 was released. I'm sad to see it go, I LIKED pc gaming... but it just isn't in the shape it used to be. All of these oddball genres that used to be pc only like fps/ rts, ect... they have slowly but surely all migrated to the consoles. Now they are developed for the consoles first and ported to the pc a year or more later.
The Wii was NOT shovelware... I think I've had this conversation with you a million times. Many of the best selling and highest rated games of last gen were on the Wii. You didn't like them, that's fine, but it does NOT invalidate the merits of the Wii. The fact that motion controls are now a standard on all three consoles even a generation later kind of shows that it wasn't a gimmick and it's here to stay.
Some of you obviously don't "get" Nintendo. They try these crazy over-the-top ideas, they always have. Sometimes they stick, sometimes, they flop and sometimes they just need to be brought down to earth a little, but they are pretty much the only company that does that. And they've popularized everything from the d-pad, to putting start/select buttons on the gamepad, hell the gamepad itself, to the standard arrangement of buttons, shoulder buttons, the analog stick, rumble feedback,ect.... Put yourself back in 1985. Arcades have joysticks, the Atari has a joystick, C64, all those guys... joysticks. Nintendo comes out with this flat square brick with a black plastic cross on it? Think of how big of a risk that was! They seem generic now but these were crazy ideas back in the day... time just makes them seem more sensible as they are accepted into the industry.
knave I didn't apply the logic to other genres because they aren't broken. When you are young you like immature stuff, and when you get older you put that aside and keep the good stuff. I didn't discount the whole genre as being for teenagers, you are putting words into my mouth. I discounted all the realistic war fps as being for teenagers, because quite frankly each sequel is exactly the same as the last, and they just weren't very good to begin with. The genre is degraded actually. Back in the Doom/Quake days you actually had more varied environments and weapons... you could carry more stuff at a time ect.... The few fps that are good actually vary from the formula so much I'm not sure if they are even fps. I mean stuff like Portal, and Metroid Prime and although I don't like it, Bioshock.
