Re: EA announces Monopoly for the Nintendo Wii

wait, this is a joke, right? I told you guys that the wii was going downhill and you laughed in my face. Now when the ignorant wii owners buy this game thinking it will be fun, itll make ea think producing shovelware like this acceptable. Even more embarassing is the fact that this is in the top news headlines on fc.

Nintedno needs to step it up a notch. With all these crappy titles like Jenga and NinjaBread Man, they bring the quality titles. They need to take their time with games and not just release every lame idea that pops into their heads.

If this was a DS title with online play I would get it, no questions asked. But on the wii (No online play is inexcusable) it's just meh. Having no online is just a slap in the face.

EA isn't known for making awesome games, but come on.
No online? I don't have 4 people (let alone four controllers) to play this game, and it probably isn't worth playing anyway. It's like taking portal and selling it for $50, when you can just get the orange box for the same price.

Only an idiot would buy it, and the orange box (in this case the board game) is of much better quality.

Exactly. I only have 2 controllers (2 wiimotes and 2 nunchucks) so unless someone brings over more controllers I'm screwed. You need 4 people to play? I don't have any siblings and my mom doesn't play videogames (she might play this though), so it stinks. They don't even have one player? Come on. You might be able to use GC controllers on it, but I doubt it. No online play really kills it. Actually, what kills it is $50.00. $50.00!!!Even with online play it would still probaly be boring. If this was a cheap wiiware game I might consider it, but this? No way.

Come on Nintendo, stop letting crappy casual games being made.

But Nintendo is approving and letting this game be made. Come on they stop all the cool games from being made but when somebody wants to make a game like this, Nintendos all like "Go ahead!"

What "cool" games has Nintendo stopped from being made? Well there was Project H.A.M.M.E.R. but that's the only game I can remember.
There was a time when Nintendo controlled the quality of games on their system(Nintendo seal of quality anyone?), but when the PS1 came to the market almost all 3rd parties went to them because Sony didn't really regulate what games were on their system. This same shovelware thing happened on the PS2 and DS during their first year too. Just give it time to pass. This and other games like it are going to be made, there's no doubt about it. The simplest thing to do is to just pass it by. That's one less game sold for them.
