Looking back on Wii Music

It's amazing I tell ya. It has already been a year since the U.S. release of the infamous Wii Music. The game that rallied fan boys everywhere, and started the cold war between hard core and causal gamers.Time had definitely flew by but maybe the reason why it did was because of our focused hatred for the game. I guess we all lost track of time while we were writing hate mail to Nintendo for making it thier "big game of the year that even you hardcore gamers that supported us for years (20 max.) will love!" at last year's E3.Looking back after a year,I think our perspectives of the game changed.

To be fair, I havn't even played the game since I thought buying/renting it will just encourage Nintendo to make more games like it and embarrass thier fans even more. But now alot of my friends are now giving it a try, and they liked it for it's family friendly flare. Maybe that's why Nintendo is prosperous with thier Wii console. Despite all of it's problems, people bought it for thier kids/family members,so that the whole family can have a fun experience. Nintendo probably thought that thier long-time fans would buy a 36o or PS3 along side with thier Wii which wouldn't make a difference.I just we all felt a little burnt looking at our childhood memories appearing to turn away from us, but in the end we are not forgotten considering they showed many great games for us this year's E3.

Personally, I give Nintendo a little pat on the back for expanding the industry with those types of games, but honestly they should have never targeted the game to us long-time fans who felt tossed aside by it's big time showing at E3. That alone could've changed Wii Music from a world-wide bashed game, to something that we could all just ignore like the other causal games.
