Out of the three next gen consoles they cover, it seems like on a personal level they prefer the other systems more. Just based off of the amount of coverage they give to Wii compared to say 360/PS3 and their personal opinions in podcasts.
 
Does it bother you that possibly your favorite system is lower priority?

Not that they hate it but I believe it's a case of, it just doesn't release that many games that is of interest to them.

It bothers me that I have to go to other sites to be kept up to date and that even though there are plenty of users reporting on Nintendo news on the forums those posts get lost in general discussion and there is no way to filter them out.

I know WIi fans here notice it.

The sad fact is that the Wii has WAY less games coming out that are of interest. I mean so far for the 360 and PS3 we've seen Darksiders, MAG, Dante's Inferno, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain, White Knight Chronicles, Army of Two 2, and Bayonetta.
 
The Wii has had No More Heroes 2 and Tatsunoku Vs. Capcom and maybe Final Fantasy CC if you want to count that.

I want to buy a Wii as my next console so i dont just have my PS3. If that makes you feel any better

With Darksiders, Dante's Inferno, and White Chronicles all getting bad to meh reviews.

GB is a hardcore gaming site and the Wii is a decidedly more casual console. It isn't devoid of hardcore games, it's just that titles like Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain tend to dwarf whatever's coming out on the Wii.

No. "

I don't come here for their reviews, videos or other features. The giantbomb crew represents the average American gamer - for most people here, this is what makes them awesome. For me, it makes them annoying.

If there were more good games for Wii, this wouldn't be a problem.

Darksiders got great reviews... I didnt want to post in this topic because to each its own and all that, but if youre going to start attacking the ACTUAL current gen system games (thats right, I said it), I'm going to have to remind you that while the Wii has some amazing games, it also has a metric ton of shovelware, and thats why most people dont like it. And dont even give me the "so why does it sell so much" argument...you KNOW why it sells so much.
 
The above poster nailed it, all the big releases in 2 months this year were for ps3 and 360, the Wii had 2 games worth talking about, Tatsunoko and No More Heroes, both covered in giantbomb

Jeff Gerstman has some pretty refined tastes, more so than the average gamer....

What is wrong with my statements?  All those games are either alright or bad. As Barrok said, Darksiders being the best of the three disappointing games. "

Not sure what Darksiders reviews you've been reading, some people have disliked it, but generally it's been getting very good reviews.  It's sitting at 83% on Metacritic, that's hardly disappointing.  Aside from ME2, it's my favourite game released this year.  About time we saw more Zelda style games on the PS3/360.  And I think the upcoming demo that gives you the entire first dungeon to play through may dispell the stereotype of many people thinking it's simply a God of War clone. The other two, yes, but even they still have their fans.

As an owner of all three systems....the Wii sucks

You need to read what I said. I just said those three games were not what they were hyped to be. I know Mass Effect 2 is good, I know Heavy Rain looks interesting. I know there are releases that the Wii does not even get, but that does not change the fact that there is a large Wii crowd here that I find is being neglected by the people behind this site. Good Wii games are often late to coverage as well as news. Just because Wii has casuals more focused in on it than the other systems does not mean its devoid of big releases and quality titles. "

I haven't touched mine in over a year, but when I play Wii, I PLAY Wii. As in going to our other house with some friends and family and playing drunken Mario Kart and Smash Brawl for a whole week.
 
Still, I'm glad I own one since it has a number of excellent titles and I can't wait for future Metroid, Zelda and Mario Galaxy games.

Sorry, but this complaint rings hollow. Just a quick browse of Giant Bomb over the last few weeks yields coverage of No More Heroes 2, Tomena Sanner, Blaster Master Overdrive, Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Shiren The Wanderer. Giant Bomb's coverage of NMH2 even convinced me to purchase the game myself.
 
They did a great video for Let's Tap, subjected themselves to the embarrassing charms of Just Dance, and have done Quick Looks or Reviews for just about every notable Wii title released over the past year, along with many that are not.
 
There's no favoritism at play here. You cannot force coverage of a system just to create an equal split between platforms, and the output of notable releases on the Wii simply does not compare to that of the PC, 360 and PS3. If I am wrong, please let me know what Wii games have not been taken seriously here that should be. 
 
Edit: If the problem is more the fact that they don't play as many Wii games in their personal time as the other platforms, well, personally I do not know a single multiple console owner that does. If the WIi is your only console, you can have a great time with its library alone no question. But don't expect people with access to all that gaming has to offer to make the Wii their platform of choice when much of the industry's focus outside of Nintendo itself is not directed upon it.

They have better thing to do than play with childrens toys.

Never said it was favoritism....but it is something.

I mean Darksiders was a disappointment because it was hyped to be much better. The game has some qualities none of which are original. "

I don't think a game needs to be original to be good..  Look at something like Banjo-Kazooie, it's a straight up clone of Mario 64, yet is widely hailed as one of the best platform games of all time. What about the rest of Nintendos franchises?  They're pretty much all recycled over and over again..  Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver are about to be released, the long awaited remakes of Gold and Silver, and they bring nothing new to the table what so ever.  Will that stop them getting glowing reviews and selling millions in the first day?  The point was that Darksiders, aside from a few negative reviews, was very well recieved and sold very well. I also don't remember any hype about the game at all, I didn't even know it existed until shortly before it came out, and even then it was marketed as a God of War style hack and slash, rather than a huge Zelda style adventure game with challenging dungeons.  Original?  No.  But by no means "disappointing."

Yes, but have they reviewed most of those titles?    

I did a console survey here last year and the Wii isn't the least popular console, the PSP was. 
The Giant Giantbomb Console survey: the results.  
 
What it came down to was that the 360 was owned by 81%, the PS3 by 58% and the Wii at 52% of the users (600ish replied).  The DS had 56% and the PSP 41%.  If one in two here own a Wii, that is a fair number of users. 
 
For me, as a Nintendo user, I just get my news anywhere but here.  The community makes up for the complete lack of decent journalism. 

the majority of users of this site are outside the target audience of the wii. Hence less coverage.

" @Rallier:  No, I get what you mean, but then again, if such threads are posted and you are looking forward to the game, then you will find them. "

"I mean Darksiders was a disappointment because it was hyped to be much better. The game has some qualities none of which are original. "

1. Darksiders was not hyped. There were some people looking forward to it, but nobody -- at least not from what I saw -- expected it to be a masterpiece. If anything, it was underhyped; most people didn't expect it to be as good as it was.
2. Games don't have to be original to be good. Was Dead Space original? Was Uncharted 2 original? Were Shadow Complex or Street Fighter IV original? I think I've made my point.

It's the same with the PC really. Except the PC is actually good.

For the Bombcrew, perhaps, but in a reader poll recently it came out that the majority owned a Wii. Interesting...

" @oldschool: "complete lack of decent journalism." I suspect you know that's not a fair comment. GiantBomb covers the Wii, and they do a very good job of it. Maybe they don't cover it as much as you'd like, but that's hardly a lack of decent journalism. If GiantBomb's priorities don't suit you, go somewhere else (as you say you do). But your comment is qualitative, not quantitative. You're saying they're bad at what they do because they don't give you what you want. I think that's a bit silly. "

Theres no news to report?

The same reason I am I figure - the community.  I enjoy using the forums and use nothing else.  Just because I don't share any enthusiasm towards the staff doesn't conflict in any way to that enjoyment - I just don't read their stuff and therefore don't comment in the threads on their articles.  It really isn't a big deal.

I don't know how you could possibly cover more than they have without looking silly. 
 
What are they going to review? Game Party 3?
