Is Nintendo really that BaD? Pondering the fate of the Wii U on a snow/icey day.

X! It's going to be that awesome JRPG (if Xenoblade is any indication, at least).

Also, the GamePad is fantastic. Off-TV Play is so damn good. Nintendo needs to better market that piece of equipment, because it is definitely a system seller for a lot of people, especially those that need to share the TV with kids.

The [DRAFT] things are the result of clicking "Post New Blog" and never doing anything with it. Every time you click that, it makes one of those. That's intended behavior, though I should write something that reaps those phantoms when you abandon them.

Oh crap, I had meant to back this one, but never got around to it. Glad it got funded though because it looked really cool. Once it drops, I'll have to check it out on the Vita!

Oh man, didn't realize there was an Adam Corolla/Dr. Drew podcast! I used to listen to Loveline religiously, so this is awesome news. Listening to the latest episode right now and will subscribe. Thank you sir!

Return to The BaDlands #11 - The Dismissal of The Wii's Success Is Laughable


Posted on 02/11/2014 at 09:29 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I still don't get the rampant hatred of the Wii and its success. Despite what most people think, A LOT of great games came out on the Wii. I think I've got almost 120 physical games in my Wii collection at this point and that number is even greater if I work in WiiWare stuff.

I think people were quick to dismiss the Wii, which did a great job in pandering to people who loved offbeat, niche games that existed en masse in the generation prior. While everyone else set course to make enormous AAA games (that put them out of business), a bunch of companies made smaller productions on the Wii that were interesting and unique.

If I had to choose, I'd say the Wii was my favorite system of last generation. The hacking scene also made it an interesting place to be, much like the Xbox the generation before that. I suggest that anybody who dismissed the Wii really look into the collection of games there and check out the good stuff while you can get it on the cheap at places like GameStop.

BaD 7: The End of The Last of Us

I don't want to turn anyone off from playing it. I think everyone should give it a shot if they're interested, and best I can tell, I'm in the very small minority with my opinions on it. I definitely don't think it's proof that games are art or that it's the Citizen Kane of gaming, so take that for what it's worth.

I definitely need to start that one up. I'm always so gun-shy on starting up RPGs because they take so long to complete and they're so hard to put down and pick back up again if I stop midway.

Like right now, for instance, I've got Donkey Kong Country coming next Friday, South Park shortly thereafter, and then Dark Souls II like 1 week after that. It's so hard to squeeze an epic like FF XIII-2 in between the stuff I've already got ahead of me. Might have to push that one to the summer months to get through the inevitable lull.

Interesting! I had no idea that Samoas had an alternate identity - or that multiple bakeries made them for that matter. Will file said information somewhere in my brain for future reference.

Did they change the name of Samoas to Caramel DeLites? My world has literally been flipped upside-down.

BaD Ep 07: Wii Games I want to try

Nice list! Lots of good titles on there (minus Epic Mickey, like Greenman said, it's no good). If you're looking for a few more suggestions, check out this article on Unsung Wii Games we produced shortly before the Wii U came out.
