The biggest problem with the Wii according to Nintendo is a misconception You Really Care
   March 1st, 2010 clock image 8:30 am

HardcoreWii

The most common complaint about the Wii is that it doesn’t have any real hardcore games and cannot rally satisfy that true gaming desire.

Nintendo however thinks this is a misconception and points to the fact that you will be able to get a AAA title next month to satisfy any hardcore gaming desires.

Honestly I disagree, the Wii doesn’t fulfil that hardcore gaming segment and really shouldn’t even try.

You are never going to get the awesome experience of Mass Effect 2 or Killzone on a Wii but at the same time you won’t Super Mario Bros or real party games on the PS3 or 360, they compliment each other and if you have a Wii you will need a hardcore console.

And if you don’t have a Wii yet you are missing out on some stellar titles.

      look out for Red Steel 2!

  • eXp

    There’s tonnes of party games on the other consoles.
    Fight Night, FIFA, Castle Crashers, Guitar Hero 4/5.

    • http://www.lazygamer.co.za LazySAGamer

      Those are not what I would call party games to be honest… Maybe Castle Crashers…

      • http://www.gamerlobby.net koldFU5iON

        what about Scene it, Guitar Hero, Lips

          • http://www.lazygamer.co.za LazySAGamer

            Lips and Guitar Hero I would agree with.

            The rest well I am not sold personally… people love the interactiveness of the Wii

            But everyone’s got their own opinions on party games I guess

  • Kale

    I personally am looking forward to Red Steel 2 but if their argument is they have one coming next month then what am I to do this month!?!?

    There are “hardcore” games for the wii buy why buy the conduit when you can by Modern Warfare 2 or deadly creatures when you can play Gears 2 and kill some locusts. The gimmick has worn off – with natal and the wand coming Nintendo better have a gold plated rabbit that makes coffee in the morning and can get you a date with Megan Fox to pull out their hat cause they definitely won’t get my support again.
