The taste of sour grapes is well and truely prominent this week, with comments from Chris Hecker, founder of Definition 6 having a right old pop at Nintendo’s Wii console.
Speaking at this weeks GDC, Hecker stated “At the end I asked the audience, will Nintendo save us? Will they deliver a balanced machine that’s fast enough? The answer to that question is the topic of today’s rant.â€Â
“Everybody loves the Wii. ‘Oh, God, the Wii, we love the Wii so much’… The Wii is a piece of sh*t…I have uncovered the secret to Wii manufacturing. The way you manufacture a Wii is you take two GameCubes and some duct tape…This thing is totally underpowered…”, he added.
It’s about interactivity…You can’t do that with a piece of sh*t underpowered computer…Nintendo gives a sh*t about games as an art form.â€Â
Unfortunately my position as a news writer prevents me from bombarding articles with my own comments (despite – especially in this case – how much of an urge I have), but that’s what our readers are for.
So, Wii Bloggers, by all means, fire away and tell us what you think -because I think Mr. Hecker is crying out for some attention!

Who the hell is this guy? The only game I can find that his company is affiliated with looks like a 1988 “Beyond the Minds Eye” video. Is it really important what this guy thinks about anything, or did he just use enough obscenities to get noticed?

Exactly, Jeremy.
This is getting covered on tons of Nintendo sites, and it’s just some potty-mouth, no-name developer who apparently isn’t having fun with his Wii like the rest of America.
This guy wouldn’t know art if it bit him on the ass, crawled into his nostril, and played “Oh Susannah” on his tounge.

You guys should be amused to know that he has since “apologised” for his harsh words today. Refer to my news post for further details.
