The Wii's Future

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Do you think Nintendo's decision to focus on innovative gameplay instead of graphical power will hurt them in the long run? The Wii is a novelty right now but when gamers get use to the new control shceme how long will they be content with the last-gen graphics?

Because let's face it there are a lot of people out there who are only impressed by a console's graphical power...even though gameplay is what makes a game fun. Like my brother for example he doesn't want to play classic games like Super Mario World or Super Mario Kart on the Super NES because of the outdated graphics.

It also doesn't help that the Wii doesn't have a hard drive and DVD playback. The lack of a hard drive might limit developers in the future. I understand that Nintendo excluded DVD playback to keep the price low...But most gamers who bought the X-Box and the PS2 in the last generation are probaby used to DVD playback by now.

But don't get me wrong I don't hate the Wii...I just hope that the Wii doesn't become a failed system like the Sega Dreamcast.
