| Uh, most of my friends and I have only one (current-gen) console.
Why should every game have to be "the pinnacle of game design?" There are still plenty of epic adventure games, deep strategy games, immersive and captivating RPGs. What's wrong with taking a break from those to play a fun, addictive little game like WarioWare or Katamari Damacy? They're not the greatest games in the world, but they're definitely enjoyable. (Renting the Gamecube WarioWare + 5 friends = awesome.) And frankly, I believe that WarioWare, at least the one I played, is a fine instance of game design. And I'm more into game design than you are. You could certainly have a crappy WarioWare-like game, but the one I played was a lot of fun. (Don't get all bitchy about the word fun either, I don't want to hear it.)
I liked New SMB. Not nearly as much as SMB3, but I liked it. Worth buying, in my opinion. |
