Nintendo Wii, who has one Options

[Bonobo]

Okay,who else has a Nintendo Wii?

DO you like love it?

[kimmytree]

I'm wondering the same thing... I wonder if they're really worth the money? It seems like each time I buy a new system, I end up more and more dissapointed with each one. I dont know if its because I've gotten older, or they've just gotten crappier.

[*kryogenix*]

Not getting it until Smash Bros comes out. I already spent my money elsewhere because no one has it in stock.

I would say it's worth the money, plus it's the cheapest out of the three competing systems. Trouble is finding a place that has it in stock.

Most of the good games out right now are for the youngsters though.

[Bonobo]

All i can say, is that I've played all next gen consoles and im surprised Wii is teh cheapest... its ironic. Its incredible I play mine everyday

[viugiufgjhfhjfhg...]

I'll wait until some of my friends buys one for their kids, and hope I will be allowed to try it. I haven't been interested in consoles since super nintendo came out, which also happened to be the last one I bought.

[pandamonium]

i play mine with my friends all the time. its a really good party system.

[jackizzle]

I have one. It's pretty cool the way it works and all. I only have 2 controllers so we need at least 2 more. And mostly my games are 2 player but I want moreee :

EDIT// Anddd I heard there coming out with a Guitar Hero for the Wii but not untik 2008 I think.. :[

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I dont have one, but my sisters b/f does.
I totally ownd my best friend at bowling.

It's amazingly fun, more-so than I thought it was going to be. And now I really want one. I think my little brother is getting one, for either his birthday or chrismas, So I may just have to steal that.

[jackizzle]

Bowling, tennis, and basebal are the best. The only particularly lame one I have to say is golf. And bgoxing is cool but you look retarded doing it haha

[babbbyycakes]

lol yungsters u are a yungster!!

[Aerjae]

used to.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Most of the good games out right now are for the youngsters though.

Dude. No. That one rabbit game. I guess it could be for little kids.
But the guy who recommended it to us, Said that is was great when you're high. hahaha
Its a hilarious game too. I havent played it, but I watched my friends play it. OMG soo freaking funny.

Ha ha, true, true. (I've even played the game myself.) The royalty of Wii games right now seem to be party games though. (Besides Twilight Princess.)

I guess I just haven't seen so least "M" rated games.

lol yungsters u are a yungster!!

[*kryogenix*]

About the "all the good games are for youngsters" bit... No, all the good games are on virtual console. But what's the point of buying a Wii for virtual console when I have access to the legacy consoles and games already?

I just hope there are some in stock for when Smash Bros comes out though.

[cupcakex]

SSB: Brawl doesn't have a launch date yet, but some time this year.
I hope soon, because I can't waitttt.

I have a Wii, and I'm totally in love with it.
I finally played Smooth Moves last week, and had a blast.

I'd have to agree, and say that party games are the most fun for the wii, right now.

Oh, and that rabbit game you were talking about is "Rayman: Raving Rabbids".
I think it's hilarious, the party games are amazingggg.

[AngryBaby]

lol cb is so "YEAH Wii!"


meh, sorry to burst a bubble but.... their library seems kinda weak actually. all of the anticipated games got horrible scores besides twilight princess which i have for gamecube. you cant even look forward to multi plats that 360 and ps3 get like dark sector or assasins creed, you cant even get resident evil 5 for gods sake, you have resident evil "umbrella chronicles" lol wtf. you cant even play online yet, which is just rediculous im sorry. and you dont even know if ssbb will even BE online. alot of developers really arent that interested honestly(Valve dissed it), some SAY they are, they'll make something, but its alwayse half assed.
when you have to look foward to mario galaxy being your best title you know something's wrong im sorry.

i devoted much time into ssbm, wavedashing and all. but it aint that good to get a Wii just for Brawl. i rather play bioshock or mgs4, heavenly sword or mass effect. oblivion is on both ps3 and 360. but is it on the Wii? nope. Devil may cry is now on ps3 and 360, but is it on the Wii? nope. but Wii has cooking Momma! yeahhhh...

ps3 announced Home which looks amazing and 360 is gaining exclusives by the minute. it just seems like nintendo aint doin shit. my point is the system that was getting all the shit built back up its momentum, the wii seems to be loosing it. im sorry kids but i dont see a very bright future for the Wii =/.

[*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.

[Afrodisiac-aka-A...]

^Oh god. now i remember why i left this site. I have a ps3 and a 360, and i'm enjoying them. Yeah i was gonna get a wii but i was like,... oblivion or wii? and oblivion obviously wins. Wii is like a gamecube 1.5 except with worse games. I mean is good and everythin but to say that it takes a Motorstorm or a Rainbow 6 is... retarded.


what are you lookin forward to on this system. Metriod, Smash Bros. Mario galaxy and... nothin else. my answer to all of the above... Gears of War and God of War 2. Get real ppl, the only reason you have a wii is cuz u couldn't afford a 360 or a ps3 or 360 harddrive.


Wait a sec... are you saying that the wii is the best next gen system kryogenix? it'll be dead before the summer o 2008. go to gametrailers and then go to forums. look at how many ppl look a the wii in comparison to the other 2 systems. the ps2 gets more hits. Don't get me wrong, i love Nintendo but they need to get with the program. The wii is just like the Nintendo Glove... it's a f**k-up in the making.


cB.... wtf is wrong with y'all? i came from gametrailers to here and all i can say is... my god, is cB f**kin retarded ? Maybe, maybe not, but probably.

f**k the wii,
go 360 and ps3.

graphic whore for life. oh and um, red steel+excite truck+cookin mama<god of war 2 (ps2 is better thn your wii). your exclusives are exclusives b/c they suck and 360/ps3 don't want them. Drop some knowledge on that ass. Okay, bye!

Reading posts FTL. I don't own a Wii and I don't plan on getting one for a while.

No, I'm saying the Nintendo Wii isn't a piece of shit like some people are claiming. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up the best selling though. It's had the strongest launch of all three consoles. The 360 has been out for what, a year and a half. The Wii has been out for four months. The Wii has has sold over 5 million, the 360 has sold nearly 11 million (ps3 over 2 million). It looks to me like the Wii's on pace to surpass the 360, though that's leaving Halo 3 out of the equation.

OH SHIT GAMETRAILERS FORUMS, THE INFALLIBLE SOURCE FOR ALL THINGS VIDEOGAMES!

PS2 outsold the PS3 and Xbox 360 for many weeks. The PS1 even beat the Xbox in weekly sales once in a while and supposedly the only reason it stopped beating it was that there were no more PS1s to sell anymore.

f**k the wii,
go 360 and ps3.

graphic whore for life.

Fanboy colors shine bright (uh oh I said it!). If you were a graphics whore, you'd be a PC gamer. end of story.

oh and um, red steel+excite truck+cookin mama<god of war 2 (ps2 is better thn your wii). your exclusives are exclusives b/c they suck and 360/ps3 don't want them. Drop some knowledge on that ass. Okay, bye!

Don't want them? Let's find some quotes.

"People are going to buy two (machines.) They’re going to buy an Xbox and they’re going to buy a Wii."

-Peter Moore, Microsoft Executive

"I think Nintendo will be the second system consumers purchase after PlayStation 3… Nintendo has a great history of innovation and has always done great things for gaming and long may they do so. But as it relates to our strategy they are very much in a different market.”

-Peter Harrison, Sony Executive

I don't have a quote, but I have a feeling Reggie Fils-Aime will say something along the lines of I want you to buy a wii. All three console makers are banking on people wanting a wii. Go figure.

[AngryBaby]

^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.

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.

so its not the gamers system? then its crap.

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? 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.

Other games I'm looking forward to include Spore, Sonic (because this one might not suck) and the new Katamari game.

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.

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.

[Simba]

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

Hmm... I'm pretty sure it has been released considering my brother rented it from Blockbuster not too long ago.

[*kryogenix*]

My mistake. Thought it was going to be released in a week or two.

[AngryBaby]

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

what the hell...


edit// yeahhh....
