I get the hierarchy problems. I don’t like it but I can sorta understand how they affect things. It’s too bad. I always read about how the Wii can’t be a gamer console. It’s fine as a SECOND console but not a primary. I don’t think that’s necessarily true. It COULD work. All the ingredients are there. Just some of the design decisions don’t work. Just small things like EVERY game having it’s own FC instead of a system wide number. *shake*. Oh well it’s my first free day by myself I think I’ll get back to some WiiWare stuff.

I can’t speak for Nintendo’s ultimate result that they tend to not support their hardware well (WiiSpeak, Game Boy Advance eReader, others). But I have a hard time accepting the idea that Nintendo does not have creative individuals within the company who can think of great ideas like the ones you have mentioned.

Speaking from experience in a corporate setting, many great ideas are subjected to different levels of approval within corporate bureaucracy. With each of these levels comes a series of questions, changes, and decisions.

Should more games make use of WiiSpeak? Absolutely. I think it’s an amazing peripheral and one I’m very surprised works so well. But who knows if we’ll ever see a day when all new Wii games use it.

well we all have things we would love. I would love for more third party Wii remotes. I would love for Nintendo to actually use the innovations they create. Remember WiiSpeak how many games use it? WRONG! The answer is not enough. Every game should be using it. Like every game should be using online like GH. Turn on the game and bam you’re online. Remember how you can store your Mii in your Wii remote? yeah you’re not alone most people forget because noone uses it when EVERYONE should be using it. Why not turn all your games into Pokemon where if you transfer data to your friends you can unlock stuff. I look at all that and there’s no way WSR as a pack in even enters my mind. That’d be like the black Wii. My mind is still reeling on the fact that somewhere in the world Nintendo makes black Wiis. (congratulate me on resisting a penis joke)
