Gamecube: Failure or Not?

Hopefully they start catering to the "mature" crowd soon. THEY need more games like Red Steel except good.

They already have mature games out...this is a step up considering it took the gamecube a long time to get a single M rated game (Eternal Darkness).  Plus they have The Godfather coming which will be a mature title and they just announced Scarface.  Sure they may just be ports, but you can bet your bottom dollar ALOT of companies are watching to see how those two title sell...if they sell well, expect more mature content.  So if people want to see more mature content they had better buy what is available, otherwise companies deem it too risky to put out mature content on the Wii.  Its that simple.  Besides, hacking people with a chainsaw in Scarface has to be fun right?

Let me say that I meant "good mature" games. Forget ports with Wii controls. I want revolutionary FPS games that make you want to buy a Wii. I don't have a Wii, Scarface and Godfather aren't good enough. That's crap in my eyes. I want a next gen experience. Since Nintendo has decided that controls is where innovation is at then I want to see what they can do with a new ip not some old game. ANd Gosh darnit when are they going to announce a Star Wars Game using the light saber.

Well the console has only been out for a couple of months and if you don't want to buy it now...don't.  Stop looking to the Wii owners on here to try and convince you otherwise.  Nintendo is never going to cater to the mature crowd that Microsoft does.  The Wii might have more mature content than the Cube...but it will never match Microsoft in "mature" content.  If you like FPS stick with the PS3 and Xbox.

Ugh... stories in video games... 99% of games have terrible stories... the other 1% are mediocre at best.  Well that may be a little unfair... more specifically video games do not present stories well. Some of the ideas are good but the way that the story is delivered is awful.

The majority of it is all talking... if you don't believe me... the next time you play a game with 'story' go ahead and record all of the cut scenes and story sequences... watch them, they'll probably be about as visually interesting as a radio talk show. There are other things that I could go off on.. but yeah...

The Wii for the most part seems like a system that will stay away from story heavy games and with the exception of only a few games so far the library is composed mostly of arcade pick up and play style games.

Didn't Nintendo say that they were going to innovate on the FPS. If that's the case I shouldn't have to go to another company to get my FPS fix. I'm not looking at Wii owners to try to convince me to buy it I'm just complaining thats all. Complaining is sometimes good for the soul. You shouldn't always keep stuff bottled in.

Fair enough...but complaining about not having a revolutionary FPS after a couple of months seems like you were expecting too much. 

 

The FPS games available at launch were mostly ports and probably rushed.  Red Steel wasn't getting very good press before launch and it's critical failures didn't surprise anyone.

 

If Nintendo is looking to create a revolutionary FPS it might be a few years away.

 

Yes you are correct though...its good to complain and not keep things inside.
