[QUOTE=m0zart]I feel like you're mincing words with me here -- I am speaking of a market for these games -- and a market requires that demand be there for the purchase. "Demand" in that context includes those people who are just interested enough to buy it.[/QUOTE]
I know. I understand the workings of the market, and I know what supply and demand are. But until these were announced, I heard only a few people interested in the concept. Most of the people I know agree with me that it seems like some cheap marketing scheme rather than people actually wanting it -- not that they won't buy it.
[QUOTE]I'd be willing to pay full price. Widescreen would be nice, but I don't need an improvement on the original game. I want to play the game with motion controls and I am willing to pay for it. If it were possible to just map the Wiimote and attachments to a game like that, I'd be willing to go into that too, but it isn't just a direct mapping. It requires some work, and it's work I am willing to help fund for the experience. That's pretty much the long and short of it.
The disdain I read here makes me think you are getting a headache. The Advil is in the cabinet.[/QUOTE]
No, the problem is that you're asking for motion sensor -- and ONLY motion sensor -- on the game. I can't understand why someone would want to pay $50 for motion controls on a game they already have. Isn't that a complete waste of money? I can sort of understand wanting motion sensor, maybe only wanting motion sensor, but full price for JUST motion sensor...you're not doing yourself any favors there, in my opinion.
[QUOTE]Aww, up to now you were doing so well -- sounding like a reasonable poster who just disagrees with someone's opinion on a matter rather than trying to make them sound like the source of your problems and a bane to the industry. Now you sound more like steer. Maybe you two clash for a reason.[/QUOTE]
You misunderstand me. I'm saying that, by only demanding motion controls on these "Wiimakes", that's causing Nintendo to ONLY put motion controls on games, because they know people will buy it. Which is largely why I mostly gave up on them, because their quality decreased so.
[QUOTE]If I'm a bane to the industry for paying for what I want, then so be it. I am not in this for altruistic reasons. I buy and play what I want, whenever I want, and I do it without feeling guilt or the need to apologize. Your judgement may not be inescapable, but it's easily ignored.[/QUOTE]
You are definitely allowed to buy what you want, but if you give Nintendo your money for nothing, the rest of us who maybe can't afford to blow $50 on a game we already have are being hurt, and given crap to buy. My problem is that you're not asking for enough from Nintendo.
I buy what I want too. I am just also careful about spending my money since there are other, more important things that I have to spend it on and I don't have unlimited money.
I know I came off harsh, and I didn't mean to come off that way. I just find it shocking that you're asking for so little -- and that is a very small amount that you're asking for. If you want Nintendo to make quality products you can't be willing to spend $50 on them doing something which requires a relatively small amount of work.
I'm just angry at you for giving in to Nintendo for so little. They're only going to give you as much as they have to give to make enough money.
[QUOTE=steer]See Mig, you are part of the problem here - obviously you are an enabler.[/QUOTE]
No, once again, you misunderstand. The problem isn't that you buy it, the problem is that you ask for no more than motion sensor.
But thanks for putting words in my mouth, steer. Always there for me.
[QUOTE]Its amazing some ppl have such low opinions of a console, and yet they keep it, and keep buying GAMES for it, when they could have made a VERY pretty penny selling it today...[/QUOTE]
Yeah, because the Wii does have certain advantages. I could likely sell my Wii for full price on eBay, and my games for a good enough amount, but I wouldn't get rid of it all the same. It's not costing me anything to keep it nor is it costing you anything to keep it so why is it of any concern to you? I worked to find a Wii and spent money on it, and I don't really want to blow it all. If Nintendo can come out with a promising title, then I can actually get my money's worth.
Then again, you sell games when you get bored of them and buy them back off of eBay so I don't expect you to understand.
[QUOTE]By your own logic Mig - if you must buy games you consider so low tier - I can only come to the conclusion you cant find anyhting for your PS3, 360, and etc as well - if you had a full tummy there, you would not have to eat at the 'goody two shoes' table!

Or maybe he can't afford to buy a whole new console? Or maybe he was making a joke?
This section of your post is so presumptuous and stupid that I'm not even entirely sure what to say.
