It NEVER meant shit, there was shit shovelware on the NES. People forget this.
I'm going to comment on the shovelware argument, because it's something that annoys the crap out of me. Folks, if the Wii has a lot of shovelware it's because the system IS POPULAR. I mean, look at the original Playstation for example. It has good games, right? It also had tons of crap though. Any time there's a popular system it tends to accumulate companies out looking for money.

I wouldn't blame this on Nintendo, they aren't the thought police. I think it'd be more distressing if they started denying people from publishing games on the system. Just because it's out there it does not mean you have to buy it.

360 has the larger selection of RPG's, there aren't many on PS3, which is surprising considering both the PS1 & 2 were RPG heaven. Still, I'm not going to recommend you buy a 360, unless you want a faulty product, which is what is being sold to the masses. It makes me sick.

If you want a next gen console, buy a ps3. And before any flames, I'm not a fanboy of anything, I have all three consoles and enjoy games on all 3 consoles.

Why is it everyone who makes a fanboyish-statement backs it up with "I have all three consoles and I enjoy them all equally"?

Mind-boggling really..why even say anything at all..?

Also with this generation they are hugely improving 3rd party support.
I mean with the N64 they had their secrets codes to program the video processor, and only gave some basic developing codes to other games companies ( Rare did actually custom program the video processor for their games hence the superior quality ) and generally speaking, they didn't give shit about 3rd parties, secrecy was their motto and very strict standards and expensive cartridges and censorship scared a lot of companies away.
They tried to make it good with the NGC, more developer friendly and letting more serious games be made ( like Capcom's excellent RE games on the cube ), but still 3rd party support was sort of lackluster for the system.
Today they are super supportive of developers, the collaborate when they can, and also are a lot more " forgiving " when it comes to games approval because they realized they need 3rd part support ( every once in a while extremely good 3rd party games are made , like Dead Space ) and promote Wiiware projects to give even the smallest developers get their games out there with minimal effort and expenses, but you know what, in that big flood of shovelware you occasionally get a little gem like World of Goo of Lost winds.
So you can't really blame them for that, they are just trying to be more approachable.
Also, regarding first party games: They are few and far in between for a reason.
Most 3rd party developers know very well of the Wii mass appeal, but are also scared to invest money in their projects because they know that then can't compete to the Big N, they know that when a AAA first party games comes around it'll sell millions and will easily over shadow any competition.
Nintendo is simply giving 3rd party developers more space to publish their games, giving the chance to make money to everybody, not because they are lazy.
It's only fear .
They are doing everything right I think, surely I would love to see an HD Wii and a DS 2, but give time its time....................

P.S Re-reading my post I think I should work for Nintendo lol.................

(warning: parody coming up. don't take anything seriously)

I hate nintendo. I fiddled with some things I wasn't supposed to do fiddle with according to the EULA, jammed it up with some illegal software that I didn't bother to verify and put some supposedly warezedhackzored imago from a game (I guess it was a wii one) on something that may have once been a blank DVD. The result...IT DIDN'T WORK!!!

But it got worse: I tried getting some help, but not only does this community require you to be some kind of Sherlock Einstein (cMIOS? HBC? Firmware? Isn't anyone speaking ENGLISH here?), they also want to know what I DID to my wii to make it explode. I mean...WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS THAT!?!1?

Not that the wii is worth hacking, by the way. It has all these pansy "wii love you"-hippy kind of games. Fun for everyone? Everyone can play? A family console? WTF...do I LOOK like I'm letting anyone come within 5 square miles of my console or something?
But noo....nintendo sure doesn't get the message: games aren't made for diehard gamers without a social life anymore. Games that introduce ponyrides, crayon painting, cheer leading, IQ tests, cooking or *GASP* SPORTS GAMES!!! And no...not the kewl button bashing games, but games where you actually have to MOVE YOUR A**! I mean...WTF? Since when does a True Gamer? get out of his couch anyway?
And what is nintendo thinking with all that? Oh, sure, they can't really be blamed 'cause most of the shovelware is produced by third parties. And nobody is forcing anyone to buy those games. But we all know these are flawed arguments. What's going on is that those games ruin our reputation. The standard gaming geek used to be fat, lazy, dressed in black and had a pair of glasses so thick it was bulletproof. But with games like that...what will become of our reputation!? Before you know it, the general public will see gamers as trim, intelligent or even SEXY persons. And we can't have THAT, can we? We must stop nintendo before they totally ruin our reputation!!!1!!!*internet drama icon*


...and that's not even the worst. No...the worst part of having all those bad games actually existing on this planet is that it somehow diminishes the amount of GOOD games that are going to be made (how I know? Intuïtion...y'all take my word for it). And am I so far wrong? There's about 4'203'450'978 games aimed for kids out there (give or take a couple) and nearly NONE for real men. I mean...why is NMH so dimmed down on the PAL version? Why can't I find decent pornography games on this thing? Where is "Playboy mansiion manager"? There's no "Leisure suit Larry in the land of Sodom and Gomorra" either! And don't get me started on the abscence of "Wii whip" (the wiimote would be AWESOME for some hot, steamy BDSM-games)!

...and YES, I know about the wiibrator. Nice going there, nintendo.

Young adult boys used to be your cornerstone of your market appeal. Yet I still have to do all my yanking myself, where girls get all the satisfaction they want from their precious console.


In conclusion: I hate nintendo. And I know what I'm talking about, 'cause I've bought 6 consoles, 17 wiimotes, 9 motion-plus'es, 13 nunchuks, 7 brands of wii guitars, enough games to fill a gaming store, 3 classic controllers, 13 other joysticks, 12 dance mats and a trampoliine.
BUT NINTENDO ISN'T GOING TO STEAL MY FUN ANYMORE!!!

That's because I do have a three consoles and enjoy them equally

The term 'fanboy' is a bit dumb, anyway. Fact is, I am a fan of the wii and PS3, and I think there's some great software available for the 360, I just hate the hardware. That's just my opinion, and I was sharing it, I'm not trying to get all 'fanboy'-ish on you and start some kind of flame war, so chill out!

Dude. I want a trampoline.

Me too. This is gonna be the next thing they make for the wii, Wii Trampoline! Then I will be able to do my trampolining virtually, and I won't have to get up and go outside anymore. I will be able to do my walking, excercising, sports and trampolining all in front of my tv

I have mixed feeling on nintendo - I feel ALOT of games don't tale full advantage of their wiimotes. Alot of graphics are pretty shoddy too. But the few games that are out their that tick these boxes are amazing! Like Okami for instance.
When I first hacked my wii, I also got into alot of trouble for not understanding their lingo. Well strike me down for being a noob! I eventually got their in the end, but hardly understand alot. Seems like they don't speak in english!
