I played my bro-in-law's today and all I can say is: wow.

Are the graphics stunning? No. But that isn't the point. This is truly an innovative game system. And I think people who don't go for the standard console type play (up up down down left right left right b a start) will have a ball playing it.

Nintendo fanboi's are just wiitarded

Controllers haven't been like that since PS1 came out aeons ago. Newsflash... if you dont like controller or keyboard play... chances are you're:
a) too young have to played any modern games and to afford a wii
b) just don't play videogames and wouldn't shell out mad $$$ for your fist console

The fact that their system "technically" is inferior to the x360 or ps3 is moot.

Are you st00pid... or just wiitarded? When a company comes out and says a console is basically a rebuild of an old one (that wasn't a blockbuster hit anyways) with basically a different interface, how can people call it the best?

Woohoo... it has controllers you can wave in the air and 90% of it's keystone games are cartoon based. If people LOVE the controller thing soo much and it ends up being a smashing hit... 360 and PS3 will certainly make a few aftermarket controls like that, as thier controls can be wireless also and game patches can be revised via the HDD functionality.

Heck, with wii's inferiority, I'll bet the PS3 or 360 could outright emulate the wii. :nododgy:

I choose c

Have fun with your ps3 and 360, I sure as hell am having fun with my Wii

I'm not saying wii or nintendo is stupid at all. I'm just irratated at all the fanboi's on the internet acting like it is the end all of video consoles just because it came out the most recent.

Nintendo does have some good titles, and it will be a nice solid console. I just refuse to accept it as "better" than either the PS3 or 360 in any capacity category other than different... which does not make it better by a long shot.

c'mooooooooooooon..... c'mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon...

[Armory]

Ok, you guys seem to actually know something about the Wii, I've grown up a bit and really only pay attention to the system I invested in (360)... Heres my question, I know the Wii is going to be the "uniter" it's features will make it more like the family game consol then little Jimmys box of death and sound, do you think my girl firend will like it? She likes playing the online puzzle and basicly fun easy to pick up games and my 360 has the arcade and she's learning to use that would. Would she like it, what games? I'm getting Zelda becuase I loved that game (first one) on the 64, that's how a game should be made...

[RabidFuzzle]

Did anybody besides me read the title as "Wiping in frustration" and think that the post actually had something to do with paintball? (I know its in friendly corner but I read the title wrong and got all hyped up over a debate about cheating)

Another good point is....

You will be able to play nearly every Nintendo game ever made (from downloading). Along with many Sega ones as well. So people will think I'm weird when they look into my window while playing Zelda. wwwooooo. I got news for you, they already do.

I dont think it's better... but I think it's a lot more fun.

You may be irritated at all of the fanboys, but I'm irritated at all of the people who automatically classify anyone who says something positive about the Wii as a fanboy.

For Armory, I'd say that the Wii really is a console that everyone can enjoy. Wii Sports is simple, fun, and easy to pick up on. It's a great game and Nintendo was REALLY smart packaging it with the console. Rayman is also a great game for just casual gaming, and I've heard really good things about Super Monkey Ball.. all titles that your girlfriend might like. Although I have no idea what your girlfriend likes or doesnt like so I cant say for sure

I have yet to get a Wii. Patience, young padawan...


On the subject of "Will my girlfriend like it?":

I've heard plenty of stories so far about how girlfriends, parents and even little kids have played the Wii and loved it. Interestingly enough information on its own but I recall an article I read some time ago.

On the subject of girls and video games, the stereotypes are generally incorrect. Women, according to survey groups and studies, don't mind violence or attractive women in video games at all. They object to explicit or suggestive dress and fashion but characters like Lara Croft really don't bother the average woman. Puffy lips, no bra, exposed underwear or tan lines, on the other hand, are objectible. Makes sense to me. I don't mind playing a physically "desirable" character like, say, Superman... but I really wouldn't want him flying around in a man-thong.

Second issue is that women generally dislike failure much more than men do. Whereas a male player generally doesn't mind his character dying in the same spot on a boss or level over and over again until they get it right, women will generally give up after they die just a few times - they'll still play for hours on end yet quit if they die just a few times.

Lastly, women do not want to pick up a game and perform poorly until they "get the hang of it." They want detailed instructions and on-screen demonstrations so that once they get to the actual game they can begin at a higher level of proficiency. They don't mind a tutorial but they generally refuse to "practice" at the actual game until they can get good.


I look at my girlfriend and the games that she is willing to play and it makes sense - Guitar Hero, Cooking Mama and various other rhythm games - She played the Sims for a while and she spent many hours on Animal Crossing and other games of that nature. She likes puzzle games and item collection and genrally anything else that you can't explicitly "fail" at. Women have enough of an inferiority complex as it is without video games adding to it.


I have yet to get a Wii but I'm hoping that it is indeed an easier, more inclusive system to play. I like difficult games as much as anyone but I know that some people do not. I hope Nintendo does very well with the Wii and that future games will really be as uniting as they are hoped to be.

I like the fact that wii thought outside the box, but i probably wont ever get one. I mean its cool to bring video games to be more interactive. But i play them usually just to kill the boredom. I play very little video games as is because frankly it is sucking the brains out of a lot of people.
