I think you'd be crazy to argue that the DS's library is "ass," with or without Hotel Dusk.

That's fine. You like SotC and ZOE2, so start throwing rocks from your glass house. The DS should be thankful the PS3 and Wii were released it. They rescued it from having the worst lineup of any current system.
I don't think there's any room for reasonable debate if you not only dislike Zone of the Enders and Shadow of the Colossus, but think they're so awful that my liking them is a discredit to my taste.
Hotel Dusk is a phenomenal game. I just hit Chapter 2 about 4 hours into the game and it's just been damn good so far. People need to play this game, this is the kind of game that makes the weird shit they did with the DS totally worth it. It knows the system cant do crazy 3D and plays up what it can do well. I'm really looking forward to when that happens for the Wii, when developers stop taking these PS2 and Xbox ports and just adding in Wii controls and build a game from the ground up that plays to the Wii's advantages and what it can do well.
Stop being crazy.Quote:

Aside from the controller, what does it do that's arguably better? I say arguably because I'd rather have a regular conroller for 98% of these games. I see no plans for an online mini golf game with a course editor.
Obviously the controller is the only notable strength the Wii has that the other consoles can't match (not that Wii Remote is better or worse than standard controllers--it's just different in a way you can't find elsewhere). It's really up to creative development to show off the strengths of gaming on Wii. Just like most games on DS don't do shit with the uniqueness of the sytem, most games on Wii will be shovelware crap. Honestly, same for all systems everywhere.Quote:

Of those, only Meteos and Elite Beat are not Nintendo-developed, though they are Nintendo published (and probably funded by Nintendo).
I expect Wii will be mostly the same. Though it is nice to see a lot of high profile developers outside of Nintendo expressing interest in the hardware. Hopefully the bigger budgets usually associated with console titles (versus handhelds) means these guys will get the go ahead from publishers to do what they want. Unfortunately, we haven't seen many games yet come from this interest.
