A video game system that appeals to the casual gamer. Created by
Nintendo, the Wii is a system driven by new technology, but has had limited quality software. The library is composed of mostly party games and a few AAA titles: Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight
Princess, Resident
Evil 4, Super Paper Mario. Although the Wii has had an amazing run in its first year of sales, it is not a true next-gen system(circa 2008), nor is it a system targeted at the average or hardcore gamer. Currently, Nintendo has been unable to assure that quality titles
will be released regularly as 2008's release schedule seems lackluster. Without some assurance of a promising future, Nintendo's Wii might follow in the steps of the N64 and Gamecube and be known as merely an expensive
toy, rather than a gaming system. Fad? only the future
will tell.
