  1. We already have a thread about game heroes (and anti-heroes), but I'm not sure if that is the same thing.

     

    Personally, I've grown disenchanted with the mascots of gaming. I tend to like the underdogs more. And with so many games coming out nowadays, there aren't that many mascots left.

  2. Microsoft? Wisdom?

     

    Look at the Kinect for crying out loud... Few games actually work with it, most games utilize it for waving your hands around or otherwise looking like a retard, and it adds a hefty price to the console for something you're only going to use for novelty games because you'll soon get so frustrated you toss the thing out the window and sit down with the gamepad again.

     

    Thing is I think people underestimate Nintendo or are quick to judge them. Sure their IP games might seem kid friendly but if you look at third party games, then you might find something more adult very quickly. Hell, even Call of Duty is available on Wii, albeit with limited graphics that look uglier than most Wii games.

     

    I'd recommend Conduit or House of the Dead for people who want more FPS action on the Wii. I actually think the Wii is more suited for shooters than most consoles because the Wiimote, at least for me, adds WAY more precision than if I use a thumbstick. I don't even get how people can really aim with thumbsticks to begin with...

  3. I dunno about the middle aged and small kids demographic. There are some gory shooters for the Wii by third party companies (Conduit, House of the Dead, I'd say even Metroid Prime feels very dark and adult) so that's just a myth in my opinion and an unfortunate label that has been given Nintendo because of their own product line. But there are lots of third party games for the Wii and the upcoming Wii U that are more pleasing to adults.

     

    Regarding hardware, that's sort of why I've stuck to PC, because a PC can easily outclass any console there is.
