...when asked a pertinent question about the limited Wii system memory was raised, Laurent Fischer, managing director of marketing at NoE, easily slipped into talking about how "geeks and otaku" were the only people who want this issue addressed.

Suddenly I don't want to give Nintendo any more money.

Saying they don't want to cater to the demands of geeks and otakus makes no sense, as their support of downloadable services containing obscure retro and independent games is already an acknowledgement of that audience.

It's like selling pocket protectors and then saying you don't want any nerds in your store.

It's Europe. Who gives a fuck what they say about anything?

It's Nintendo. Who gives a fuck what they say about anything?

Fixed.

Fixed.

Unfortunately, too many people.

And ditto. What the hell, huh?

So with the Twilight Hack very abundant now, and being used to install "Homebrew Channel" whats to stop them from finding a way to circumvent allowing a USB flashdrive from being used to save/transfer things or even allowing for over 2 gig SD cards (No real reason other than running ISO's from the card) to run on the Wii? Or have they just not found a way around the Nintendo lock on those yet?

Those are some rather rose-tinted glasses you're waering - in actuality bad games can sell in droves everywhere. Wrestling games were all the rage for PS2 and 50 Cent: Bulletproof was one of the biggest selling games around. And if you really want to get anal, even the must-haves on current-gen stuff have their very obvious flaws. Yet the hardcore crowd laps it up and begs for more of the same ol song and dance.

I totally forgot two systems on my list too, The GBA and the the king of having nothing but trash the DS. The DS alone proves my point, there is maybe five, maybe five games on the DS not made by nintendo that aren't total crap. If developers don't have to try, they wont.
Also wrestling games really aren't bad at all, if you're into that sorta stuff. And as far as fity cen is concerned horrible bugy games aren't the entire ps2's library save a handful of titles. The DS, wii and GBA can not make that claim.

DS games worth owning, and who really gives a flying fuck who publishes them?-

Meteos
Zookeeper
Phoenix Wright
Feel the Magic and Rub Rabbits
Picross
Yoshi Touch & Go
Elite Beat Agents and both Ouendan games
Trauma Center
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Chibi Robo: Park Patrol

DS games either on the way or haven't had time for yet-

Rondo of Swords
Trauma Center 2
Space Invaders

There's a lot of good stuff there, you just have to like video games and not be so focused on the negative that you're incapable of enjoying anything to access it.

Three of those are nintendo made. My list pretty much went like this, Castlevania, trauma center, and phoenix wright. And I'm very tired of all of them now. I added two more open slots in case I could remember another title I enjoyed, didn't happen.

you just have to like video games

I love video games, I just don't like puzzle games, and obnoxious mini game collections. Those genre's aren't the problem anyway. It's the dozens, literally dozens of shovel ware games that come out month after month. Any third rate publisher can shovel out shit, and it will sell. Why should they try when they know garbage will sell? There is no quality control at all, and that's a problem.
