Making a game for the Wii is okay, but don't think it HAS to be a kids game.

Make Team Fortress Wii, or maybe a less creepy Portal, but don't go out of the way of what you're doing normally.
...actually the statement sounds like a joke to me. If they were actually playing on the Wii, they'd know the last thing it needs is another cheap game for kids and casuals.

It's the sole fact that they're making it on Wii that I find very irritating.

They're furthering the "kiddy" stereotype of the Wii and Nintendo in general by doing this, especially since they've already dished out Half Life and Portal to the "next gen" consoles.

I know, the Wii console's a family thing first and foremost, but this is just another in the many cases of developers not taking the hardcore gamers for Wii seriously. Oh well, there's always The Conduit, I guess.

I think there are plenty of games and tv shows 'for children' that can still appeal to everyone else. Think psychnauts, think invader zim. Mix in the right level of insightful humour with randomness and slapstick for goodness.

2) Something's whacked out with the site, has been for months. Comments, articles will sometimes randomly disappear and reappear, lending credit to the theory that Kotaku is actually some sort of really unstable time machine that only goes back in time.

I swear to God that this thread had comments at one point. Am I experiencing a technical hiccup, imagining things, or did the mysterious Powers-That-Be at KHQ wipe 'em out for inscrutable reasons beyond the ken of mere mortals?

So. I was originally going to state that I'd love a TF2-style kids game from Valve, and if I ever have any children (GOD NO), I'd want them to play it as well. I'm actually quite curious to see what they could do with a title that isn't an FPS.
