Re: YAY FOR NINTENDO
The only fathers of the video game industry are the two dudes that made Pong and some battleship game, then followed by Atari.
It was obvious that Wii would win this little "war" for 2008, as it did in 2007, and likely will again in 2009. However, majority of it's games are complete shovelware that would make your grandmother & 3 year old child go gaga over. As was to be expected, now that Nintendo know where all the money is.. don't expect them to let it up anytime soon, more shovelware of junk will keep pouring in, with fewer excellent titles to pop-up through the piles each year.
I wanted a Wii last year, but the only games that interested me were SMG & SSB. Brawl, that's it.. in the end i couldn't get it anyway, as it was sold out. And now that 2008 is over, I'm glad I didn't get to buy it, seeing as SSBB & SMG would have remained the only two games that I'd have for it. All my other friends who own a Wii, have gotten bored to death with it.. and either threw it out, gave it away, or sold it for a 360/PS3.
