    A paperweight that is getting an exclusive from Capcom, that, if i read it right was originally going to be a PS3 exclusive. (now I freely admit I know nothing about "monster hunter" and for all I know its trash and will sell ten copies, but it DOES seem to indicate that the Wii's success in hardware IS effecting 3rd party software makers, at least a little bit)

      Monster Hunter is only big in Japan. It sells like Barbie video games elsewhere.

      Some people have short memories. I remember when Capcom stirred up all kinds of Nintendo fanboy praises when they announced 4 "Nintendo exclusive" games for the Gamecube like RE4, which promptly ended up being ported to other systems after the fanboys bought copies.

          Well that would confirm what I said to Aggie a while back, the Wii may be irrelevant to the "real consoles" outside Japan, but it may be a threat to PS3 inside Japan.

              so again, when Japan suits your purposes to counter the wii, you post, as in the other thread. When contrary to your views, you downplay it, such as here with Monster Hunter.

                Are you serious?

                Everything you listed there is certifiable crap except for Mario Galaxy. Even that is a pretty tired gameplay-game that'll sell well to Nintendo loyalists only.

                  What?

                  Monster Hunter is a piece of trash. The Japanese like it, for whatever reason, and that's not up for debate is it?

                  It's absolutely true that Monster Hunter is only big in Japan. What's your problem with bringing that up to someone who clearly has no idea what it is?

                  Go back to listing crap shovelware like Victorious Boxers and Link's Crossbow Training as great Wii games coming out soon, because you certainly can't debate this with reasoning. Stick to the actual debates or don't post at all, please.

                  If you want to contest my statement, go right ahead. Please do, in fact.

                    No. Counterexamples:

                    Battalion Wars 2 (if it doesn't suck this time)
                    Lego Star Wars (granted, not nearly exclusive)
                    Fire Emblem (kickass)

                    I don't know much about the others.

                      Isn't Fire Emblem using the EXACT same game engine as the Gamecube game?

                      BW2 looks to be crap from what I've seen. Show otherwise?
                      Lego Star Wars has been played to death on other consoles. It's an old game, doesn't count.
                      Fire Emblem is a GC game with a new story and (literally) identical gameplay.

                        Debate?

                        I made a list of games that are interesting to me for the end of the year. I wouldn't say many are great, but I'm alright with good with fun gameplay. Isn't that the point of gaming?

                        Sheesh.

                        Contest this statement? WTF, seriously.

                          No idea. Kickass even so.

                          I haven't seen anything, I just remember that BW1 was a good idea executed horribly (esp. with no MP) and hope it's done decently this time.

                            Focus!

                            You took issue with my Monster Hunter comment, which was perfectly valid. You can either discuss or debate it (eg, "No it the BEST GAME EVER and 100% of Wii owners will cream themselves to be able to play it EXCLUSSISISISIVEL") or you can leave it, but you chose to simply make an ad hominem again.

                              That sounds cool, actually.

                                My point was that PS3 is losing an exclusive to Nintendo. That MH is only popular in Japan is irrelevant to that, so YOU missed the point.

                                Now it may be that Nintendo is only direct competion to PS3 in Japan. Thats a possibilty I raised a while ago.
