at the GGD

Grammaton was butthurt because Edge awarded Nintendo with the developer of the decade award. So he asked what influential game Nintendo made the last decade that was as important as GTA III. 

So I answered Wii Sports and Wii Fit. Oh boy, he did not like that! He asked if I was joking and went on a tirade how motion controls were not all that. And he said the next time he will ask me the same question, but without the word Wii in the title. 

So I said I was not joking and put Brain Training and Nintendogs there as important and influential games. 

So now there's a guy who is calling me a troll. So awesomely stupid

I don't think some of these guys know what influential means.

One game does not make a developer of the decade

If we talk influential, there are two ways to look at it.  Influence in business, and influence in design.

Influence in business, there are two games head and shoulders above the rest, absolutely bar none: Wii Sports and Nintendogs.  These were king-makers.

Influence in design, to a degree Wii Sports and Nintendogs are both still there, but for the wrong reasons (see: shovelware).  Aside from that, it's hard to say.

 True, but he questioned what game did Nintendo made that were influential. I just named 2 from Nintendo. They made a lot more though. And you forgot one Yoda, Wii Sports made motion control popular. Natal and Gem are made because of it. 

Later I mentioned Brain Age, Nintendogs and you could put Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports Resort, NSMB, Animal Crossing DS, etc. They are all 10 million sellers and above. They all had lots of copycats, usually very bad. 

 I wasn't arguing.  You deserve a bueno for your posts



I think Wii Sports taking credit for motion controls is a stretch because it's indirect.  You could argue Genji II was influential by making a mockery of the PS3, causing its downfall.  RIIIIIIDGE RACER!

Thanks for the Bueno, again you are right it was a indirect influence. I bet we will see more direct influences once the other motion controllers are released. 

Grammaton has not answered yet, sometimes I have a feeling he is trying to hard to defend his point. He seems to be too emotionally invested in these things. I expect him to attack, with big words and personal insults. He is like a more well spoken Dana White.

DL'ed the Gran Turismo 5 demo.  That saved me $60. I'll just play GT4 or 3 instead.

You didn't like it?

I did not see anything that I did not see in the previous games. I was looking for that "next-gen" breakout.  They kind of have vehicel damage, in that your car limps away after hitting a wall, but no visible signs of damage.  Other than that, it's the same old shit.  If I'd have paid 60 mil to dev it I'd be pissed.

It will be interesting to see what it does in sales.

God Bless and Good Night!

 Despite the time it took to alternate text colors, err.... no.

Better be careful, Polyphony wouldn't want to anger Bioware's sensibilities.

About Tales of Graces:

That said, the graphics are flat-out exceptional considering Tales of Graces is a Wii game. I remember catching a glimpse of it in action at TGS and thinking to myself, "Huh, Graces doesn't look that different from Vesperia," which can be considered high praise given that Vesperia is one of the best looking games of this generation. Up close, it looks so good on my high-definition display that I can barely tell that it's a Wii game.

From time-to-time it'll be afflicted by the jaggies that are so prevalent in other Wii games, but they're so minor as to be barely noticeable. Otherwise, the colorful art design and smoothly textured cel-shading mask the relative simplicity of the presentation. Having seen my share of god-awful looking Wii games, I feel like developers on both sides of the Pacific ought to be taking notes.

The presentation, of course, has long been a strength of the Tales series. Somewhere along the line, the Namco Tales team decided that they wanted to create an interactive anime RPG, and they set out to design just that. Graphically, at least, Tales of Graces looks to be a fine realization of that goal.
