tos2 and brawl are the only games on that list that are even close to real games. MP3, and sadness are games that are going to show that the wii can be used for real games. Medal of honor is already out and showcasing that people want adult games that they can kill people with on the wii. I think that after the rpg success of tos2 square will make an rpg for the wii.

I have to say, I agree with him, Nintendo's marketing stuff like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii this and Wii that too much. It seems Nintendo is forgetting about the classic types of games.

Nintendo is putting way too much emphasis on motion control, that it seems to be getting in the way of the kinds of games age-old Nintendo fans have been dreaming about.

ya he has a point...
isnt final fantasy made by square enix?....cause the final fantasy storywriter writes the story for brawl

These are a few definitions and verbs of the word 'toy'.

1. an object, often a small representation of something familiar, as an animal or person, for children or others to play with; plaything.
2. a thing or matter of little or no value or importance; a trifle.
3. something that serves for or as if for diversion, rather than for serious pratical use.
4. a small article of little value but prized as a souvenir or for some other special reason; trinket; knickknack; bauble.

• The bold lettering is stating that the wii is worthless in Square Enix's eyes. Look how well it is doing!
  
• The italic, underlined words state that anything that acts as a distraction for anyone; to entertain persons. Doesn't the PS3, 360, and the wii, and anything else, do that??

Verbs-

to amuse oneself; play.
[list][*]Look at the second bullet above.

Take all those into the extreme, and he is simply saying, that any form of entertainment, is a toy.

I just don't understand why some people are considering to be a toy because of how the hardware works.I mean lets all admit its alot funner to play a game with your friends when your not just sitting on the couch with your controller completly zoned out not sayin a single word.I can understand some games where your by yourself and your taking it completly seriously, but Mr.Yoichi Wada is completly thinking this without even real giving the Wii a shot. Yeah I don't know if his played the Wii or not and he probaly has but has he played it extensively?

Probaly not from what I can guess from his words.

I can honestly say that I think there's a fine distinguishment between the Wii SSBB/MKW and GCN SSBM/MKD.

The Wii has innovation that hasn't seen full potential as of yet (yes, even with SMG, I don't think we've seen what this puppy can do), and while I believe that neither SSBB nor MKW can show this full potential either, they're going to do a lot to show people that the Wii isn't for casual gamers only.

The difference between that and the GCN is that with the GameCube, there really wasn't much innovation; It was your standard, 4 controller, sit-down-and-play system. And with all due respect to Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony did a better job with that generation than big N did.
