What's the go with the Wii discs? I mean, would it break the bank to have more than one colour on the label side? I know that it's purely cosmetic, but there's something quite disappointing about opening up a brand new Wii game and finding that you yourself could've done a much better job with the label. It looks only marginally better than what one could achieve using a lightScribe burner.

Take Zelda: Twilight Princess for example. Wow. Brown and silver. Well, really just brown. Looks more than a bit lame if you ask me...

Still, it doesn't take away from the actual awesome quality of the game itself obviously.

Have we run out of things to complain about? I mean really... who cares? This has to do with the developers/publishers themselves and nothing about the Wii itself or its downfalls.

I think that this post is at least original. It's a lot better than those posts that merely ask "when is *insert game title here* coming out?" to which the answer would clearly be  "Try google".

But thanks for taking time from your busy schedule just to give me crap. Appreciated.

It's not so much that it's not original, it's just that there's not much to debate about. Most folks (like myself) barely even give the disks a quick glance.

Also, I wouldn't reccommend snapping back at commentors for giving you a bad rap. Making a thread means you have to deal with negative remarks, and due to the unfortunate nature of the subject, it appears negative is in the majority here. :(

Ok ok, I know when I've been beaten. Truth is that I'm sitting at work and really bored - it's a case of "any post in a storm" right? Anyways, apologies for snapping back. You make a good point.

I think they look fine. Besides, they look a lot better than the Game Cube ones.

You should have done a poll. I could care less about how the disc looks.

I completely agree.

Can you open a box, take out the disc, and insert it into the Wii with your eyes closed? You certainly are the talented one, aren't you.

Oh, and your capslock key is broken.

yeah I was wondering this too... and it doesn't seem to be "the developers choice" because every gamecube and Wii disk I have seen has been one or two colors. I kinda want to know why its like that.

And no I don't care about the disk labels but I just thought it was weird.

I agree, they're lame. Monochrome disc labels looked like crap 20 years ago. It's absurd in the year 2007. But I guess whatever saves Nintendo a penny...

And to everyone who says "who cares stop whining" - when I buy a $50 product, I want it to look like it's $50. Wii games look like bootleg copies that some teenager made on his Dell. :|

I agree. I mean, I won't even play a game (even Zelda) if the game label looks bland :roll: Does it honestly matter? Anyways, I happen to like the look of the Wii disks.

Exactly.  Does the color of the disc make or break the game?

Yes its sad but alot of the newer games have multicolord discs.
