Wii: A Pile of Shovelware

The Nintendo Wii. It has galaxy, brawl, twilight princess, and so on so forth. But it has a burgeoning dark side too. One that threatens to bring the Wii to its knees. That is the blasphemy that is shovelware. And the Wii is full of it.

It prints money, but is it blood money?

I remeber reading somewhere about the Xbox 360 and PS3 having more higher rated titles than the Wii alone. Not to hard to believe either, when I see games like ninjabreadman (cool title though) and the latest hannah monscandal stocking the walls. The bad thing is: people buy these games. They don't do their homework. I have an entire routine before I go and spend anything on any game. Grandmas think "Oh, he likes Shrek. Lets get him the Shrek game" or "He sure needs a YBOX paddle". Really, if you don't believe me, then check out GamesRadar's feature Confessions of a Video Game Store Clerk. Prepare to be appalled. Theres so much crap out there. The average person spends something like 67% of their time on the internetz sorting through crap to find what they need. Retail Stores are nowhere near conveniant. At least the internetz has the courtesy to hide such materials from us.
