^lol. I remember months ago everyone was talking shit about the Wii and now it's popular so everyone loves it.



The Wii is definitely overhyped. But it is by no means a terrible system. Currently, it's doing exactly what it was designed to do- attract non gamers. Heck, a lot of people I know bought the Wii and just play Wii Sports. Not my cup of tea, but if they enjoy it, I guess more power to them.

I believe the question isn't whether or not SSBB will be online, but whether or not it can support four player battles. That's what the developers said they were having trouble with, but IIRC Miyamoto said that he really wants to see it online. I don't mind a delay if it means a better game, I've been waiting all this time anyway, it wouldn't piss me off to move it a lit further at this point.

I dunno what you mean by developers not interested. A lot of developers are now supporting Wii just because it's so damned cheap to develop for it. On the other hand, PS3 development costs are so high that some developers feel that it's not worth the risk because your game would have to be a huge hit just to break even since the overhead costs are so high.

OH SHIT Valve dissed the Wii. When has valve done anything for Nintendo consoles anyway? When has Valve done anything past Half-Life? Somehow I don't think Nintendo will be pulling out their hairs over this. I don't see the problem with looking forward to Mario Galaxy. Just because the game doesn't involve hacking people up with a chainsaw, doesn't mean it's a shitty game. I still play Pokemon; I even had my old gameboy with Pokemon Blue here while I left my DS at home (though that should change when Ruby/Sapphire comes out). The game stays the same even if it's not popular with the "cool" people anymore. Your dick is not going to fall off if you play games like Pokemon, Katamari and Mario. Other games I'm looking forward to include Spore, Sonic (because this one might not suck) and the new Katamari game.

Bringing me to my next point, the controller almost makes multi platform games exclusive to the Wii because the developer will be making the game with the Wii controller in mind, whereas the PS3/360 versions will be more or less ports of each other. Nintendo games will always be exclusive to Nintendo consoles and they are almost always top quality.

Home is really impressive; not a reason to get a PS3 (it's just a glorified MMO if you look past the marketing) but still it's a good showing by Sony when everyone expected their online to be featureless like the PS2's was. BluRay is picking up though, so if it becomes the format of choice, I might pick up a PS3 when the price drops. But still, the Gundam game sucked.

Anyway, thanks for the trolling material, intentional or not. I'll be sure to use it on other boards when I troll there.

yeah for a second, when it first came out. I thought it had potential for a second too. but then i saw how the games were recieving horrible scores. i played them myself, and they sucked. i saw how the wii wasnt getting much, just keeping what they have. i saw how if i had a wii, i woudnt be able to play some the most anticpated titles coming out. people hated the ps3 for second too, but now its gaining momentum again. and the wii is losing momentum. dont base the wii's popularity on cb, cb's knowledge on gaming is craptastic.

so its not the gamers system? then its crap.

the wii is getting downgraded games because the console cant support anything the developers wanna do.for example ps3 is atleast getting resident evil 5 lol. a game that used to comeout on nintendo first, but the wii cant support anything capcom wants to do to allow them to push it forward. so you guys get a most likely crappy "umbrella chronicles" lol.
you dont think games like assasins creed that are coming on 360, ps3 AND pc would be on wii if it could handle it? the wii cant handle anything, and the games it has to itself have been sucking in comparison. and that will get old.

dont get me twisted, i played ALOT of games. i most likely own more nintendo and Sega systems than you do., i own everything but the power glove and saturn man. i like spore also and i love games like Kingdom Hearts and the sims and those dont necessarily make your dick bigger. so dont you dare put that label on me.
Mario is truly just not THAT great to be honest, much respect. but lets be real now. i played far better games than sunshine on ps2 for damn sure. my favorite genre is rpg's, so you put that "chainsaw" stab away. Oblivion for example does more and is way more engaging and intelligent than mario. sorry if i like it alot better. and thats not even the best game for the systems, its just a simple multi plat. and when a simple multi plat is better than your "elites" thats when something is wrong. and THAT was my point. i also like games like BioShock. this game looks f**king amazing, but for some reason i feel the need to ask did you even see it? "hunting the big daddy" demo, did you see it? if you watch it you'll see why im more hyped about playing that game than any game for the wii. and you guys dont have a single game that you can look forward that has that level of unique technical gameplay.
mario's jumping on planets, but the gameplay is still similar, wiimote or not. its not like the wiimote has been doing its job on making the games AMAZING anyway. and i brought valve into it because they are kinda neutral, so it proves a point when they dissed the system. they're making "orange box" for ps3 and 360. when asked "anything for the wii?" they said um, well the wii doesnt really allow us to push our games that much further in what we can do in gameplay. the wiimote didnt make alot of the games as revolutional as they planned"

the controller hasnt done shit for the games that the wii fans fantasized it to do. tell me why call of duty 3 for the wii was the weakest one? and weakest scored? out of the ps3 qnd 360 verions? tell me why TP on the wii is not much more fun than playing it on the cube? i played both man. yay i can shoot my arrows on horse back, but it didnt do shit "AMAZING and REVOLUTIONAL" tell me why red steel sucked? tell me why excite truck sucked? tell me why tony hawks downhill jam sucked? all anticipated games that would show off the power of the wii. isnt the controller supposed to add that NEXT level of gameplay? oh yeah and you wondered about sonic for the wii? that was better than it was for the ps3.....but it STILL sucked. have you not seen any reviews?

Home is really impressive; not a reason to get a PS3 (it's just a glorified MMO if you look past the marketing) but still it's a good showing by Sony when everyone expected their online to be featureless like the PS2's was. BluRay is picking up though, so if it becomes the format of choice, I might pick up a PS3 when the price drops. But still, the Gundam game sucked.

my point was, home is more exciting than anything wii announced. at least sony announced something. little big planet looks cool too.

Anyway, thanks for the trolling material, intentional or not. I'll be sure to use it on other boards when I troll there.

oh man you owned me.

it was intentional, but like i said, cb's knowledge on gaming is craptastic. i needed to bring some happy ass people down to earth.


i own a 360 a ps3 and a high end PC. no fanboyism, just me spreading my opinion on what i think is a soon dead system.
