Consoles today seem to be going through some sort of terrible game recession. There are plenty of great games still being released, but it seems like for every good game, at least two terrible ones take the shelf space next to it. The most violent offender?
The Nintendo Wii.
Much like it's predecessor, it suffers from the developers getting the green light to put inferior games on a system that is selling faster than can be produced. There are glittering gems in the library, Such as Twilight Princess and Super Mario galaxy, but for every great game on the console, you get at least 4 games that should never have existed in the first place. Just as a comparison. November 11, when Galaxy was released, There were also a slew of incredibly terrible titles to include Spy Games - Elevator Mission, Smackdown Vs. RAW 2008, 3 new PETZ games, Spongebob Atlantis Squarepants, and Cabela's Big Game Hunter.
Did the next week redeem it? It did deliver Geometry Wars Evolutions and Trauma Center: New Blood, but what else did it deliver? Offroad Extreme!, Soulcalibur Legends, AMF Bowling Pinbusters! and Star Trek: Conquest.
The Great games and age-bridging technology that has given birth to the Wii's monumental success is also what is making the console lose its basis. Some games, Like Wii Sports for one, use the control perfectly. Most, however, make it an abomination upon modern gaming.
So many gamers nowadays feel that Nintendo is letting the casual crowd take the once great gaming monolith away from the hardcore crowd, but I say it is not Nintendo's fault. The best games (in my own opinion, of course) are made by Nintendo, who apparently are attempting to do their best to uphold the honor that they once held. Games like Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Paper Mario, Not to mention the GOOD third party games like Zack & Wiki are matched by their incredibly horrible games such as Escape from bug island, Far Cry Vengeance, Pool Party, Chicken Shoot, Jenga World Tour, and (god help us) Anubis II and Ninja Breadman.
Don't think it's just the Wii that's guilty of it (I mean, just look at Vampire Rain.) Other consoles have their own multitude of terrible games, Such as Enchanted Arms and Sonic the Hedgehog (which actually are multiple offenders, since they appear on 360 and PS3), Bomberman Act Zero, and Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire, just to name a few of them (because there are plenty).
The point is that I'm tired of seeing these lackluster games filling the sea of a game console that has almost limitless possibilities come down to housing games that not even a 4-year-old would think acceptable.
The major problem is people are buying this shit, hence why the publishers of this gaming filth can keep making them. Back in the day, A Publisher made a couple bad games, but redeemed himself with a good one later, it was slightly acceptable. Yes, there were quite a few unforgettably bad games, but there were just as many legendary titles at the same time.
And citing this, Don't think I forgot about the horrid PS1 shooter Spec Ops series. Somehow, They kept making those things because they were incredibly cheap and people kept buying them despite being unfit for an untrained chimp to defecate upon; they apply to the same law, just 9 years beforehand. However, this was at the end era of the PS1 when the PS2 was gaining the foreground from its mighty predecessor. Not that it forgives it still, but horrible games are expected to be released at the death of a console's marketing, Not to be the mainstay in the middle of the huge success.
So, in closing, I am merely stating that I hope one day people will stop buying these terrible games.
