This is all on Gamecube. Somehow I think Wii can handle more than that.

They have expressed an interest in working on an RPG and so the 65 enemies on screen at once could refer to an action rpg. And I honestly don't understand both Kotaku's and the people who have already commented on this opinions about it. You've mentioned the 65 enemies on screen in comparison to what the 360/PS3 can do which is ludicrous given that the architecture of the consoles is vastly different. Managing to get 65 enemies on screen at once, all animated and fully AI'd to undertake tasks and other things is a hell of an achievement given the Wii's horsepower.
As I've said before, I honestly don't understand Kotaku's unprofessionalism in regards to posting Wii news or Wii related articles and honestly, I think you should just drop it seeing as you rarely know what you're talking about or have a good thing to say about the console. The same can be said about all of the commenters who've disgarded this. Really, is there any point in posting that you don't care about something? By posting, it shows that your being ignorant and don't fully understand what is being done (these people being the ones who persist in following stereotypes for the same reason).

Oh wait...
This game is a joke to me. I mean, it just seems a little sad that they are saying things like this as if any one is going to be impressed. Sure, it's neat to do cool things with outdated hardware as a hobbyist activity. Like putting 3D games on a GBA with homebrew development etc...When you put it in to a game you're selling at retail though it just seems like a huge waste of time.

things have become way too much about tech specs this gen.
I swear most "gamers" on this site would be psyched spending $60 for a box with old RAM chips in it .... so long as it was in HD with DLC options =P

Nintendo: Our 8-bit system is better than yours!
Sega: Oh yeah? Well now we have a 16-bit system! Suck it! We do what you don't!
Nintendo: Now we do too! And it's STILL better than yours!
Sega: Oh yeah, well... now we can play CDs, and you can put a mushroom on top of it that makes it into a 32-bit system! Eat that!
Atari: You both suck! We got a 64-bit system! Do the Math!

Seriously, get over this "kiddy console" shit. It only makes you out to be a pretentious and condescending elitist. And for someone who complains about such things, it's quite ironic that I need to tell you to "grow up".
Don't like it? Then fuck off and stop whining about how it's supposedly ruining your precious hobby. Christ.

I bet you had to stretch for that list, huh?

All that aside, the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are basically two flavors of the same ice cream. I see Wii as the option of eating flan every once in a while.

"Don't like it? Then fuck off and stop whining about how it's supposedly ruining your precious hobby. Christ."
One way to look at it all surely.
Then again, there are a number of gamers that have supporter the Ninty since the NES, and actually like to think highly of the corporation, and are disappointed by the fact that our loyalties during the tumultuous N64/GC era pretty much meant nothing in the eyes of Nintendo.

I do have to give it to you guys though; NoA did go bad.

compare mario kart double dash to mario kart wii.
one is an evolution, the other is 4 steps backwards.
it's a blatant dumbing down to appeal to the casual crowd. skill is not rewarded in that game, as a larger lead usually means a blue shell. the latter point is the sell-out point. i understand catering to your demographic, but taking player skill out of the equation is ludicrous. if a guy is consistently out in front because he's that skilled, but can't win because the game effectively doesn't let him, you've got a problem.
and while not nintendo's fault, the wii has the lowest percentage of quality titles compared to the 360 and ps3.
add the rest of the common gripes, and that's where the "sell-out" attitude is coming from.

No one took skill out of the equation. Just the skills you need to win are more than drifting and grabbing items. You have to play defense, which I find challening, deep and rewarding. I find the people bitching about Mario Kart, generally don't know how to play it very well. The game is great for new gamers but it's wildly hardcore if you get a group of players who know what they're doing.

you call these games? mostly stuff from ps2, nothing special or advanced..
these are not must have games like GOW, K2 or GoW or many many more on the ps3 or 360..
there is not a single must have game on the wii.
