BELIEVE ME, i will be making some awesome games using these tool and the help of some artistic friends haha

Yep. It'll be pretty neat to make ur own games. But the price of the developer's kit is too steep for me. I've also heard that they are making a cheaper version of it or something... Someone back me up on this one bcause i dont know the exact info. about it.

I have a feeling that the developers kit will alow you to creat a game but only to an extent BECOUSE remeber The Wii is also made for non gamers so they have to go easy on the Non Gamers. But prove me wrong if I am wrong my all means becouse I would like a complicated gaming developers kit which alows me to creat what I want!

That development kit is for developers like Sega, THQ,....... I read somewhere that there will be a much simpler development kit that you can download off of WiiConnect24 for free.
(and by the way there are videogame builder programs that you can download for free off the internet. <look up gamebuilder on a search engine and download it. You can use it to make simple 2d games>)

^^^ exactly. I think this may be what people are talking about with the whole make your own games thing. The kit in the article isn't a Wii, it's a kit specifically for making Wii games. I seriously doubt that they would put something as complex as game making into a console they are trying to make simple.

Ya. It's a lot of work to make a full fledged game. So likely they will release something very simple. Maybe even something that lets you just design your own levels and import your own characters. Who knows.... we will find out.

Making Games doesn't need to be complex to work very well e.g. Game Maker 6

Hahaha, i agree with icetrash, gamemaker is crapola, man we had to make some game at school (me and icetrash) and it was the biggest waste of time ever.

Don't judge a book by its cover!

Sure, making games on gamemaker, Java, Visual Basic, etc etc are the biggest waste of time ever. So are playing games on your PS#, XBOX, and nintendo consoles or even on PC.

Have we realised that everything we do is a waste of time? Shopping for yourself is a waste of time, making something for yourself is a waste of time to people who don't understand what you do?

Sure I have made and am still in process of making a game in Gamemaker 6 - it's bloody huge and a complete waste of time? What did I learn? How games are made and how much time and effort it takes to make a game like Super Mario or Final Fantasy!

Making actions on Gamemaker is the first step to making a game. You have to make alot of sprites and objects, scripts and sounds and all that 'crap' and what do you have as a result? A good game or a bad game?

Depends on where your perspectives lie.
