Nintendo Wii

As you may know I hate Nintendo Wii.

And i really dont understand why its so popular.

Someone with one plz tell me whats so good about them. I played that Wario Ware game and it was UTTER CRAP. Not even anything to do with Wario or Mario, it was just mini games. o_O

The top of the Nintendo Wii chart in the UK is Wii Play - a controller with mini games on it.

What does that say about the games

?

I keep spending my Wii money on other things. Pants, amazon.com crap, and games I will never open.

Get Earthbound, Secret of Mana, and Super Mario RPG on that Virtual Console, Nintendo! You failing me.

They are easy to understand games that have been simplified they are complicated. More so because they are simple (and affordable) everyone can play. Its also a system of innovation. To really get into it deeper, there is no other console like it and with TP to show what it is capable of, I dont see how the graphics or gameplay are underrated.

Finally there about games to just play, not get hooked or slaved over. Basically the Wii is like WoW

- Simple
- Worth playing
- Anyone can play it
- cost effecitve
- Innovative systems and game mechanics.

whereas PS3 is like FFXI (ironic aye and yes I am a ffxi veteran).

- Hardcore players
- Kicks itself in the crotch due to the price hike in system and games.
- Takes unnecessary risks
- repetious
- Bad reputation

well, Wii's supposedly social, but some games require you'r attention so much you really can't communicate with your mate very much. also, a your mate's controller beeing waved in the wrong direction can quickly smash your phone or camera if it is in your pocket. and you really can't interrupt what you are doing, my dad's workmate tried it, and when he attempted to scratch his head, it all went to $£€#¤%. also, the straps are so bad they tend to snap in a swing and annihilate your telly, window or whatever is in it's direction, and it is impossible to play in a rom with a low concrete cieling. furthermore, excaggerated moves has proven to be able to dislocate your knee. ending the summary of negative's with a kid who had to sew four stiches in his forehead after beeing hit. the controllrs speaker is poor and the general sound,along with the graphics, are mediocre compared to PS3 and 360.

the positive things are that it can get your big, fat ass out of the couch and make you move a little, have fun with the gameplay and watching other's looking stupid in the middle of the livingroom.

I agree with you, Desi, what's so great with the wii? is it because it's JUST fun to swing around with a tv remote?

have you seen how on the Wii adverts, they make it seem like the average Wii player will have a massively wide living room for space to play tennis, and a just as rediculously high ceiling to swing your virtual sword.

The Wii is nice because it offers a different experience and games for the non-gamer crowd. I'm not a part of the non-gamer crowd and I spent so much work trying to master the current controller setup of the past generations; the Wii isn't something I want right now(gimmie secret of mana!). I can see it pretty much being a very dominant force in the current generation due to its mass appeal as stated above by Wind. Being a very private gamer though, this doesn't really matter too me. But I got some new shoes!!

Personally I don't like Wii and from what I can see most of you aren't too fond of it either. I'd really hate to see Nintendo go down, but I have a feeling it may just happen. Most of their games and consoles looks like it's targetted for little kids. They make it simple and all because I think it's for kids. My neighbor has one and he says it's fun for parties. I played bowling on it and it was okay (I hate bowling IRL XD), but I kept feeling like the controller was over sensitive. Also, when I'm playing a game I want to relax and chill. Just play a nice RPG or what not. Lol. Wii is trying to make me lose weight! (I'm pretty underweight as it is!)

Here are the new shoes that took my Wii money:

Unknown Kaze · Feb 20 2007, 09:59 AM

Ive seent those shoes in Shu.....

I dont necessarily hate the wii, but Im not an avvid fan of it either. Basically I think that the Wii is like the Gamecube, The GC started off great, and with its new disc system everyone was piping for it, but after a couple years, it got so hard to buy a game, cos they just never apealed to people anymore, Owners wrote in to magazines saying the games were either childish, boring, or too short and I think thats also whats gonna happen to the Wii so thats why I aint gonna be getting a Wii. And for for crying out loud "Wii"????

Kitmitsu · Feb 21 2007, 02:03 AM

Like Kaze I don't hate the Wii by any means, I just don't think I'd buy one. It's a good idea, like with the DS the Wii is innovative but theres a point where their new gimmick can get old. With the DS many developers have stopped even using the touchscreen as a touchscreen because it just isn't practical to use with many games. If the Wii had better graphics instead of just being an overclocked gamecube I might actually consider getting one, partly because there are some gamecube remakes I'd like to play but it doesn't seem enough to buy it.

But at least its cheap

We can all dis the wii, but fact is once Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out everyones gonna want to beat the holy shite out of pikachu.

Desi · Feb 21 2007, 09:36 PM

I rarely hang with the guy that picks pikachu. I personally am a kirby man, but it doesn't matter because I don't buy the Super Smash games(singleplayer is boring and I don't buy extra controllers). Just go over my friends.
