2008 was actually a GOOD year for Nintendo. BUT, only financially, plus E3 sucked. Here's 3 simple reasons summing up why 2008 was a bad year for Nintendo.

• Too many casual games. Nintendo had no attempt to please the hardcore gamers.
• E3 sucked. They wasted it on kiddy shit. They seriously didn't show any hardcore games.
• WAY TOO MANY REMAKES. Plus half of the remakes sucked. They mainly introduced motion controls, and then not much more, if any more. Seriously, the only major new things in, lets see, Animal Crossing City Folk, was the motion controls and the city. The motion controls didn't add much and the city is too small.

They did have some good games in the beggining of the year, such as Super Smash Bros Brawl, but everything after E3 was horrible. No matter how excited you got about some of the games, they weren't good games. The only thing holding them up much now is third-party support.

From that list on the front page, I bought 10 games. From this year, I have bought zero.

I don't know, but the quality of games this year so far have gone up, compared to last year. And there's more of them. But last year had some good titles I was really interested in.

...

That, and I have less time to play games now. :P

Lots of multiplatform where the game was done better on the 360 or the fact that none of those except Super Smash Bros is an amazing groundbreaking title.  Even then Super smash is not exactly ground breaking.  The wii needs more AAA titles like super Mario Galaxy but this shit aint gonna happen.

Because of all the shovelware, and few first party games released.

Blah blah blah, poeple in this thread are destined to hit the fans with the shit.

I like my wii even though it is lacking good mainstream multiplatform games, it also lacks good online multiplayer. But it do have a considerably amount of great and original exclusive games, both first party and third party games. They may not appeal to everybody, but does to me. Most people write stuff like "Ive bought the wii and played it once" or something like that, but its your problem that the games it have (many good), dont appeal to you..

//Off-topic rant

The 2008 was one of the best years for Wii ever. I can't believe people didn't like it.

great job just listing all the games that came out for the wii last year, but what does that mean. For example, rock band, great game but it is multiplatform so it means nothing. a good example on the list is no more heroes, stuff like that. If you honestly think that final fantasy crystal chronicles: my life as a king was a good game, well I guess you can not be helped

This has pretty much said already but I'm just going say it again.

I'll give the OP points for his strong "devotion" by listing all the Wii, PS3, and 360 games he did but persistence doesn't always make you right.  And the points that you have tried to prove don't make the Wii shine by any stretch of the imagination.

well now honestly tell me how many of of those games were good maybe like 4 or 5 of them 

 Im saying starting a discussion about all the games on the wii is just pointless. You are trying to get into an argument. You could have said there were some great games last year for the wii and then listed a few but instead you listed all of them and now you act surprised when people disagree. and I think everyone can agree FFCC: my life as a king was a terrible game

2008? Because everyone who bought a Wii, stopped playing it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't know which is sadder: console bashing threads or console defense threads. The desperation in this one seems to point to the latter.

You know why?  Because to you, these two games are equally worth playing:

Conduit


COD4


--- Get a 360 or Ps3, you'll be amazed.  It's not a game being enjoyable that denotes it being able to be called a high quality game, no, it's exceeding that. 

Considering i didn't like the first call of duty 4, i think you hit the nail on the head Smug

Smug: Nice story, bro. But most of us own other consoles. My 360 is collecting dust at the moment.

Also, I'm not hyping The Conduit in any way. And I don't think anything think that it's equally worth playing than CoD4, because it's not released yet. I think both games are equally worth trying, yes. But I am very sure that CoD4 is the better experience.

The Conduit is the Wii game I'm least interested it. I wish people would start noticing the real games.
