it seems that the wii is not doing as good as the others so is it?
It sucks because people need to l2hb.
Yes, yes it is.
Nintendo went off in a new direction. It's core following now is not what it used to be. So if you want older games you can down load it's ok. But most of the newer games are not that great.
The wii itself isn't shit, but the library of games are.
I think it's pretty crappy.
I was pumped when I got one.
I got it in April, it hasn't been touched sense early May.
The good games on the Wii are pretty fucking good. Granted that there's probably less than 10 Wii games worth buying...
The trick is knowing what games to buy.
Look for some titles like Resident Evil, Super Mario, and some upcoming titles such as Silent Hill. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with crap like GO PLAY Lumberjacks.

NSMBWii actually looks amazing. From what I can see, it's more of a party game than a co-op game, which is fine by me.
You know House of the Dead 2 and 3 is a direct port with Wii controls, right? The games are fromm 1998 and 2000. Yeah, the graphics look like a Dreamcast title. And it was only $19.99.
Oh, and your opinions are invalid to me, you silly spic.

Why would you buy games for the Wii when there are two other consoles with a much better library of games.
Because the Wii can be hacked.

I'd say it's kind of shitty, yes. While it's nice of Nintendo in a way to make lots of games to appeal to younger, less "hardcore" (this term sucks, why do we use this fucking stupid term) gamers, I can't help but feel a bit cheated when all I really have (or will have soon) is Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, Brawl, Umbrella Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia 2, and inferior versions of Guitar Hero/RB games.
However, I have not tried No More Heroes yet, Conduit looks interesting, Pikmin 3 is a must-have, Metroid Other M looks pretty cook, and the next Mario Galaxy should be quite good.
I can't say at all that the Wii is worthless, because I know perfectly well it's not, but I'm still disappointed in it and I'm getting a 360 this fall.
Also, I just want to say that atleast the Wii has 100% GCN compatability, as opposed to the 360's awful xbox compatability and the PS3's (non-first gen) inexistent PS2 compatability.

Each character adds a unique boost to the stats of the karts/bikes.
But I wouldn't say the Wii is crap. It's the library of games that isn't very good.
The Wii has good games, it just needs more good games.

The Wii itself was rushed because it has: shit online, shit graphics, no HDD. They want you to use fucking SD cards. akudood; And now developers don't even try to make the games great because people who have Wiis only buy shitty party games, look at Madworld and No More Heroes.
Quote from: Lwar on June 22, 2009, 05:55:13 PM
shit online
Because Nintendo thinks Friend Codes/Wii Numbers are a good idea. My only experience with their NWFC is the DS stuff though, so I can't really comment on the Wii.
Quote from: Lwar on June 22, 2009, 05:55:13 PM
shit graphics
Compared to what? I personally think
last gen (gcn, xbox, ps2) are great, and that the graphics of "this gen" are a symbol of diminishing value. Yes they look even better, but it's a marginal improvement that costs quite a bit more cash and time to make. Granted I have a 360 set up to a 1080p capable TV with component cables, but not all games run at 1080p/i, a lot still use 720p, especially games that had a lower budget.
Quote from: Lwar on June 22, 2009, 05:55:13 PM
no HDD
Oh wah. Does it really take that much time to manage your storage space that you think you need
more storage space? Only in the current gen have 2 of the major consoles started using hard drives, and yet they can still use memory cards of sorts. I don't know squat about SD cards, but the Wii can read ones with up to 2GB or something, right? You don't really need more than that anyway unless you're planning on keeping a ton of stuff on it at once. If I ignore the 2 games I have installed on my 360's HDD for convenience and my videos I've only used about 3 GB of it. Of the discontinued 20GB version.
Also, the Wii is the only "current gen" console that actually has decent backwards compatibility. 360's is limited to select games with software emulation (which sucks, fucking static bursts in Fable), and PS3 had its backwards compatibility removed to cut costs, with the older models not being in production for who knows how long.

Friend codes are retarded, what is the point of some of the online games if you don't even know who you're playing against? And the 360 Arcade costs only a bit more and the graphics look a lot better, I would rather dish out $50 more for a console that looks better on my TV. And the HDD is needed so we can store shit a lot more easily, was it really that hard to add one? I mean having every damn Wii game have it's own channel is retarded, I used up a lot of my PS3's and 360's memory because of Music, Movies, and games. Don't even get me started on every game having a horrible motion controller gimmick tagged on it, I don't give two fucks if I can swing a sword with my controller really, I just want to play games like I did on my Gamecube, but I already have a Gamecube so I would expect better games.

I don't hate the Wii I just hate Nintendo for rarely making a good game for it.
Seriously we got Brawl in Febuary of last year. The next game we are getting that actually might be amazing is that next metroid.
Also I've been playing my wii alot lately. Replaying Twilight princess and playing World of Goo.
And Tyler go ahead and play what you want to play. That still doesn't take away the fact that your taste in video games are shit.

Tyler doesn't only like games that are shit. Most of the games he actually likes are great.
The thing is, and I'll admit it kind of grinds my gears myself (sorry tyler ilu :'() is that there are also A LOT of great games by general consensus that he

But then it doesn't really cost just $50 more than a Wii, and with the price MS puts on the HDDs it's a better investment to just get a Pro or Elite.
Get your Wii games used, they're not worth the $50 in my own opinion. WarioWare is a prime example. Animal Crossing lost it's appeal because I didn't have to wait as long to boot it up, unlike Wild World. Brawl and Mario Kart are the only ones worth it as far as I know. Other M seems like it has a lot of potential and if there is a Pikmin 3 coming out, that is probably a must buy, they can't fuck up a Pikmin game as far as I can guess.

KT, sorry. I'm not into many anime games or modding systems.
IMO
the wii is shit.
its been sitting in a backpack in my closet for over a year, and the only game I ever played on it was Skies of Arcadia, which isn't even fucking for the wii.
Now im completely satisfied with xbox 360
and all I got is Call of duty WaW
mega man 9
secret of monkey island SE
and Ikaruga.
the last three I just bought like yesterday, before then the only game i played was call of duty, and thats all i really need.
Videogames suck now a days when you dont have time for them. I can't bother to get absorbed in a rpg, I tried fallout 3 but it was too slow and i dont have the time
so yea fuck the wii, glad i camped outside target for one. Pikmin 3 is the only thing that sounds good coming out, i dont care for 1stperson metroids.
The 360 is my least favorite. I play my wii constantly.
I only use my 360 to play dvds.
Little King's Story came out for Wii today.
Good game. giggle;
Last Thursday my friends and I played Wii Sports golfing for a few hours. It was fun. We went normal golfing yesterday. It was too hard. I like Wii Sports better.
Get Little King's Story.
Quote from: Henry Hatsworth on July 22, 2009, 02:10:15 PMI was too hard.
Did not need to know that.
Anyway yeah, I haven't bought a Wii game in a couple of years now. I only own 2-3 of them. Not really worth it.
The Wii is the only console I've played lately.
I just felt like playing Super Mario Galaxy so I plugged it in and I've been having a lot of fun : )
I don't think the Wii is as good as the other systems though
It's just not worth it, it's decent at best, but definitely not worth the $250+ you'd have to spend to have a good time. akudood;
