Considering Getting A Wii...

Ok, I'll try:

Pros:

- Motion Controls

- IR Pointer

- First Party Games(Mario, Metroid, Zelda etc.)

- Virtual Console(Downloadable Old-School games)

- Small compact console design

- WiiWare(Small downloadable new games)

Cons:

- Subpar Graphics

- Poor Third Party Support

- Some games with poor implemented motion controls

Also, if you're not sure what games to buy, go to this thread, and if you want good low priced games go here.

Wii: Pros:

Best/funnest games

lowest cost

Cons: On-line is bad

graphics are not too great

Pros:

Motion controls are fun

Great library of games

Lag free online (mkWii)

Cons:

graphics arent too impressive

game makers often overuse motion controls and make cruddy games

i would recomend wii, since the ps3 has absoloutely no good games worth getting

Cons: On-line is bad

Yeah, but when compared to the PS3's and 360's on-line it's bad. (No voice-chat.)

Get the system whose game library interests you the most. Don't let other people make decisions for you.Rocky32189

Much better...:D

Well, SSBB does have an adventure mode with a bit of a storyline...:)

I understand what you mean - a paerson only has so much time for longer games. I find myself enjoying Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime Hunters and other games like that which I can play online with people quick and easily, and have tons of fun. The Wii is great for a college student, because it has some simplicity and straight-to-the-point stuff. You can also download classic NES, SNES, N64 and other console games - which are simple to play but have just that degree of difficulty for weekends when you wanna go on a gaming binge. Plus some of the games have a memory-save function, that lets you pick up right where you left off on a rather difficult title.

If you like Dr. Mario and Mega Man, then you will be pleased to learn that there is a new version of Dr. Mario with online functionality, and an upcoming 9th Mega Man game in the same 8-Bit style as the others - as though they had never stopped making the games.
