"Well, the Wii is mostly for the family and girls. They target those customers because the games that are for the Wii isn't very graphical for guys to play with."
Whoa whoa whoa, hold the phone there! Wii is NOT mostly for the family and girls. Wii is for everyone. And games aren't all about the graphics, it's about how fun of a game it is. Sell the sizzle, not the steak. And by the way Stephanie, I'm not attacking you; I'm just presenting my view.
Case in point. Bomberman is a super old game. Check out the graphics above. Very crappy by today's standards, right? But it is still one hell of a fun game and makes it to the top of my list. Get your manly friends over for 4 player action and you all try to explode each other with bombs and trick them into a trap. The trash talk that comes out of our Bomberman sessions is just hilarious. It's like espionage and explodification put into one, I'm lovin' it!
And let me tell you, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Punch-Out, and Super Smash Bros. are a few Nintendo franchises that aren't JUST for family and girls. Mmmm.... sword fighting, gun blasting, and beat-em-ups. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. And of course you've got the regulars that appear on all the systems such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band to name a few.
Besides, Cartman wanted it. CARTMAN, for crying out loud. And you know he doesn't do anything JUST family or girly. Except for Mr. Kitty. And the thing with the pony. But that's another story. [Haven't seen that episode? Watch the full video here] Yes, I will admit that the Wii does attract more families and females than the competing systems do, but I think that the Wii does the best job of putting out games not just for a particular group, but for everyone. Girls. Guys. Families. Midgits. Clowns. Michael Jackson. Now let's all sit down around the campfire to sing some Kumbaya and get to playing Wii where it counts.
