Nintendo Shares Up, But Do Devs 'Get' the Wii?

kukyfrope writes "Nintendo shares have jumped over six percent since the Wii's unveiling at E3 last week." Despite both Peter Moore and Phil Harrison recommending you should get a Wii, the future of Nintendo and the Wii aren't assured. Next Generation reports that third party developers may not really 'get' the ambitious console.

    What games could possibly resist that?

    The ones who are too mature, and need violence/sex all the time, that's who...

    Nintendo and Apple are the same company. They consistently build better products and consistently build a better business while the nasal voices of criticism for the sake of criticism keep trying to shout them down.

    meanwhile their fanboys flock to slashdot and post tired comments.

    What gamer could resist? How about those who actually want to game instead of use a tacked-on gimmick. I'll take the PS3 any day, thank you very much. Then I know I'll get a hard core game console with traditional controllers like EyeToy and Dual Shake instead of something originally made to prolong the death of Gamecube.

    You can use the motion activated controller, and toss it for your nintendog to go and fetch. Of course... you will have to fetch the actual device yourself, but it will help you shed a few pounds.
