Nintendo Wii, who has one Options

[Bonobo]

Okay,who else has a Nintendo Wii?

DO you like love it?

[*kryogenix*]

^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.

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

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.

I believe the question isn't whether or not SSBB will be online, but whether or not it can support four player battles.

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.

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.

OH SHIT Valve dissed the Wii. When has valve done anything for Nintendo consoles anyway? When has Valve done anything past Half-Life?

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"

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.

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.

[*kryogenix*]

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.

...Hence me not buying the Wii, though it's cheap enough to buy just for TP and a handful of gamecube games since I don't have a cube. Then again, nothing currently out for PS3 is making me want it. Gears is pretty fun though, but that's about it.

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.

Why do you say "you guys"?

And I can't understand how you can make fun of Umbrella Chronicles when no one knows anything about the game yet other than it's going to use the Wiimote, other than it's named after the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil series.

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.

What's your point? The PS2 could barely handle some of the games from Xbox, but it didn't stop people from buying PS2 and those ports.

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.

... what are you talking about? Owning games or consoles does not make one more credible than another. Not to mention the power glove isn't a console. My comment was based on the fact that some people are afraid of playing Nintendo consoles because they're afraid of being perceived as kiddie or girly.

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.

Woohoo opinions.

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"

What do you want mario to do? Would it be a true mario game if it wasn't a platformer? Do you actually want Nintendo whoring him out more than they are already? Nintendo's already have him racing karts, playing tennis, DDR, etc. It's not a true mario game if it's not a platformer.

Valve isn't netural. Think about it for a minute.

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?

I've never played TP so I couldn't tell you. But the people who have played both have told me the Wii version is more fun. You could shoot arrows on horseback on the N64 versions.

Red Steel sucks, people knew it was going to when Ubisoft showed the actual gameplay at TGC.

I did try out Wii Sports and I have to say it's really stupid and I can't understand why so many people are in love with it. A little harsh, but it's just a novelty (to be fair, it's a "free" game). But hey, I couldn't understand why everyone loved Halo/2 as much as they did. So many other better FPS games.

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?

Are we talking about the same game? Sonic and the Secret Rings hasn't been released yet, and it's a Wii exclusive.

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

Well, that settles it. Sony announced something, so while I had no intention of purchasing the PS3, I will now because they announced something and Nintendo didn't.

I dunno, when I heard Katamari and Guitar Hero were coming out for Wii, I got more excited for it.

LBP does look pretty cool. But so did the Gundam game when they first showed it. And so did Red Steel.

oh man you owned me.

it was intentional, but 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.

Then drop the attitude, and I'll do the same. Great, thanks for enlightening us with your gaming knowledge. I mean, you know so that Umbrella Chronicles is going to suck when there's no real info about it.

You own three very expensive machines for gaming. Now, look at the quotes I posted from the Sony/MS execs. Is it not feasible that people aren't stupid enough to see this as a zero sum game and that it's entirely possible for all three to "win"? I consider all three companies winners in last gen. Nintendo made record profits, Microsoft learned plenty of lessons, and Sony was number one in sales. In fact, if anyone has much to lose, it's Sony since they're banking on the PS3 to sell BluRay.

Stop caring so much as well. I'm not about to go to gamefaqs or gametrailers forums and try to argue with fanboys because I feel like calling people retarded. I don't agree that Wii Sports is a fun game. I may not even think the reason they like the game is great. But hey, if people spent the money and feel that they truly got their money's worth, more power to them. Same with the PS3 and 360. It's in my best interest that all three companies stay in business, because the competition will drive down the price and encourage better games. Gotta love capitalism.

[AngryBaby]

not to mention the power glove isn't a console.

the power glove came with its own special games that you had to code in to play, i consider it more of a console than a controller. but i was throwing around the word console and power glove got thrown into it also, but no its technically not a console, but you get my point. i own everything nintendo besides power glove. is that better?

... what are you talking about? Owning games or consoles does not make one more credible than another. My comment was based on the fact that some people are afraid of playing Nintendo consoles because they're afraid of being perceived as kiddie or girly.

says who? you? um yeah....my firend it does have a small amount to do with credibility. logically your experience on the subject matter will play into your arguments.people diss complete consoles while never even owning a previous component. for example you say the ps2 could barely handle xbox games. do you own a ps2? do you own a xbox?
your credibility relies on your answer. because what you say is already not true.
besides, xbox wasnt miles ahead of ps2 graphically or technologically like ps3 and 360 are to the wii. Wii still has gamecube graphics, wii still has gamecube power.
and my point naming off my collection was not to claim credibility in the first place, did i ever say " i am more credible because i own these consoles?" you got that idea yourself.
i named my nintendo collection because you were placing me into the group of gamers that like to play the "cool games" only and blow off good games like Zelda because they arent "cool" first person shooters. my collection list was to say "hey man, im not in that list i play every game you play, im not afraid to play the "non cool games". i never thought they were non cool but whatever.

You could shoot arrows on horseback on the N64 versions.

very good! but this isnt the ocarina of time or majora's mask is it?
see this is where credibility comes in. because if you actually OWNED twilight princess......

Why do you say "you guys"?

i said "you guys" meaning wii owners. you're defending the wii like your mother so sorry if i got the wrong idea. i didnt know you were defending a system you dont even have....

And I can't understand how you can make fun of Umbrella Chronicles when no one knows anything about the game yet other than it's going to use the Wiimote, other than it's named after the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil series.

my point is simple, RE5 is the real juggernaught. not even the same people are working on umbrella chronicles. UC is a spin off of RE5, and going by video game history spin off's usually suck or are inferior to its counterpart.

Now, look at the quotes I posted from the Sony/MS execs.

lol now about them old ass quotes.... do you honestly believe that shit?

heres the big picture:

Sony: Man! we really hate microsoft! our arch enemy! but you're okay nintendo you're neutral. you reach a different market, you dont threaten me. so you'll be the secondary console under me!

Microsoft: Man! we really hate Sony! our arch enemy! but you're okay nintendo your neutral. you reach a different market, you dont threaten me. so you'll be the secondary console under me!

Stop caring so much as well. I'm not about to go to gamefaqs or gametrailers forums and try to argue with fanboys because I feel like calling people retarded.

lol when did i say i go to gametrailers to argue with fanboys? i go to gametrailers for news and reviews. even though the forums do have more interesting discussion. you should know i care the least about anything on this whole website.

gamefaqs?

[*kryogenix*]

the power glove came with its own special games that you had to code in to play, i consider it more of a console than a controller. but i was throwing around the word console and power glove got thrown into it also, but no its technically not a console, but you get my point. i own everything nintendo besides power glove. is that better?

Except all you're doing is bragging (about something which I highly doubt) and doing nothing to further your argument. Try harder.

says who? you? um yeah....my firend it does have a small amount to do with credibility. logically your experience on the subject matter will play into your arguments.people diss complete consoles while never even owning a previous component. for example you say the ps2 could barely handle xbox games. do you own a ps2? do you own a xbox?

besides, xbox wasnt miles ahead of ps2 graphically or technologically like ps3 and 360 are to the wii. Wii still has gamecube graphics, wii still has gamecube power.

No it doesn't. Do you own any arcade machines? If you don't then no one gives a shit about your opinion about arcade games because you don't own them. Owning something doesn't necessarily make you an expert at it.

Compare PS2 load times and Xbox load times. Compare RE4 on GC with RE4 on PS2.

Compare the GC specs with the Wii specs. Not to mention it's no secret that the Wii wasn't going to be as powerful. And not to mention that Nintendo doesn't care because the console is being based around the controller and not the horsepower.

and my point naming off my collection was not to claim credibility in the first place, did i ever say " i am more credible because i own these consoles?" you got that idea yourself.

So what's the point of telling me you own all of those things? How does it help your argument if you're not using it to claim credibility? Look at what you said. "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." Cut the crap, you know why you said what you said.

i named my nintendo collection because you were placing me into the group of gamers that like to play the "cool games" only and blow off good games like Zelda because they arent "cool" first person shooters. my collection list was to say "hey man, im not in that list i play every game you play, im not afraid to play the "non cool games". i never thought they were non cool but whatever.

Slave owners weren't racist against blacks since they owned a lot of them.

very good! but this isnt the ocarina of time or majora's mask is it?
see this is where credibility comes in. because if you actually OWNED twilight princess......

What's your point? Let's look at what you said. " 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""

Explain to me what the arrows on horseback comment meant within the context of this argument and how it proves anything.

You're claiming that TP Wii isn't revolutionary because it includes a feature that's been in a previous game. What's next, are you going to complain about Madden 07 because they throw footballs and have been throwing them since John Madden Football in 1990?

You're grasping at straws.

i said "you guys" meaning wii owners. you're defending the wii like your mother so sorry if i got the wrong idea. i didnt know you were defending a system you dont even have.

Except I don't own the Wii, I've said I have no plans to buy it until Smash Bros comes out, I've called it overhyped and I made fun of Wii sports.

Try harder.

my point is simple, RE5 is the real juggernaught. not even the same people are working on umbrella chronicles. UC is a spin off of RE5, and going by video game history spin off's usually suck or are inferior to its counterpart.
lol now about them old ass quotes.... do you honestly believe that shit?

Doesn't matter if they mean it or not; from a consumer standpoint you see all three console manufacturers telling you to buy the Wii. That says something. If you're an investor and you see this happening, you take notice. And what it really means is that all three know that Nintendo isn't directly competing with them in terms or horsepower. But it wasn't hard to know that since that's pretty much what Nintendo has been saying all this time.

heres the big picture:

Sony: Man! we really hate microsoft! our arch enemy! but you're okay nintendo you're neutral. you reach a different market, you dont threaten me. so you'll be the secondary console under me!

Microsoft: Man! we really hate Sony! our arch enemy! but you're okay nintendo your neutral. you reach a different market, you dont threaten me. so you'll be the secondary console under me!

Lovely, since Wii has had the strongest launch of all three and has double the sales of the PS3, and half the sales of the 360 despite being out for only four months while the 360 has been out about 16 or so.

And then it goes:

Nintendo: We're glad you're going at each other's throats. We don't care who wins between the two of you because in the end we'll be making more money than both of you.

lol when did i say i go to gametrailers to argue with fanboys? i go to gametrailers for news and reviews. even though the forums do have more interesting discussion. you should know i care the least about anything on this whole website.

gamefaqs?

I wasn't talking to you specifically. But you seem to know PU$$Y_PUMP#R_3000 well enough (since you know, both of you have the same IP address), so ask him Every gaming forum has their share of fanboys.

So you care enough to wander in and call everyone here craptastic and retarded. That's like walking into a nursing home and wondering why none of the old people are doing extreme sports like the fitness club down the block. WOW YOU f**king OLD PEOPLE ARE SCRUBS, LOL CRAPTASTIC

It's createblog. It's a forum where 14 year olds come to get skins for their xanga and chat. It's no surprised that they're not as passionate about gaming as a website designed for games.
