Where the Wii Fits In

AGFlamey writes "On Angry Gamer is an interesting and lengthy article about the new direction Nintendo are taking with the Wii and in particular "non-games" like Wii Fit and Big Brain Academy. From the article: "Hardcore folks don't like to admit it, but Mario and Zelda are relics of the past. It's become quite clear that Nintendo is losing interest in remaking the same old games over and over. They want to pull us into something new, if only we can give them the chance." Is it such a bad thing that Nintendo are neglecting their roots?"

Correction...

LOOSING interest.

This is /. after all.

Not neglecting their roots

[Anonymous Coward]

They are simply growing branches.

Because this is slashdot, I guess "the new direction Nintendo are taking" is also deemed to be correct.

"The Wii is great in social conditions, but just for sitting around by yourself, the 360 and PS3 shine far brighter."

That's true. The 360 shines really brightly when it spontaneously catches on fire.

That is bumper sticker material.

Maybe that explains why the title of the article is "Where the Wii fits in".

"I want the long, deep storylines. I want the high-definition graphics."

You want books and movies.
