Comment Re:Wiiiii! needs more casual games. (Score 1) 284

It's Ironic that Nintendo captured the casual market and yet there are very few games for them
exactly! Well said, the Wii is a "casual gaming" multiplayer console, that's how they marketed it, in every PR stunt you see the multiplayer hotseat action, but after 1 year we only have VERY FEW games worth their money if you bought the Wii for casual gaming crowd. Rayman Raving Rabbits is a good success, Wii Sports a little less but still okay. Haven't found any other game to add to the list, single player games ala Mario and Metriod are not interesting at all for multiplay, and even for Single play, there are much better games out on other platforms that you shouldn't waste money for the Wii. Ordered Guitar Hero III now for the Wii, hope this will be multiplayable and enjoyable (even with Mono sound :/) but it's a multiplatform game and not really unique for the Wii. So far i'm pretty disappoint by the lack of party games released since last year; and even after 1 year, the current party games are becoming quickly too repetitive and boring, even for the none gaming crowd. Wario Smooth Moves was quite a mistake to buy, it lasted 10min before it was removed and never look at again, ugly graphics, lame games, dumb multiplayer, a disappointment...
