Games Radar's latest feature talks about the seven biggest blunders the currently lovable Nintendo corporation has made over its 20-odd year stint in the videogames business. Some of them are quite obvious, such as the Virtual Boy, but it's number seven that will likely incur the most venomous wrath from under-70 Nintendo fans.

Number 7 is the Wii. Calling Nintendo's decision to focus less on graphics and more on motion controlled gameplay into question, the author poses a bleak future when the PS4 makes the Wii look ancient and folks are fed up with waggle.

Unless there's some other gameplay innovation on the horizon, Wii could be viewed as a fad, susceptible to the same fickle emotions that killed snap bracelets, pet rocks and Sega. And if Nintendo bites the bullet and gives the machine a visual kick in the pants, well there goes its whole mantra that graphics don't matter. There's just enough steam with this idea to last one generation, and none after that.

Gasp! The dreaded f-word! Is the Wii just a fad? Are gamers too blinded by the fun loving nature of the gaming behemoth and will that goodwill toward Nintendo ever turn against them? It's possible.

Where I don't agree is that the Wii needs to justify its use of the Wii remote for every first-party game. Can't we be satisfied with simple controls now and then? Michael McWhertor
