Wii is Disappointing?

Filed in archive Wii on May 28, 2006

Check out this statement by Kathleen Sanders:

"It's just a Gamecube inside thats all it is, thats a little dissapointing...there going to charge kids $250 dollars just for a Gamecube... well there probably going to charge kids $250 for what is a peripheral...none of the games had any real depth...I felt that they imposed this controller on this existing IP game and it doesn't fit...Zelda grappling hook was not the least bit intuitive, it was frustrating...as Metroid exists today like on a typical controller I can pick it up and play it and enjoy it...you can pay $75 for this peripheral and $50 for online." - Kathleen Sanders, co-worker of IGN

There are a few things about this statement that bother me: 1) Not everyone who plays video games is a child; 2) Claiming a Metroid or Zelda game has no depth is simply foolish; and 3) Isn't charging $400-$500 for upgraded PS2's and Xbox's just as bad?
