Wii Owners Hypocrites?

Its something I've been really noticing, I truly bought a Nintendo Wii because I always love the first party games that they send out to us, Mario, Zelda, etc. Even glimpses at their third party developers like Red Steel and Rayman, even though Red Steel somewhat tanked, I didn't know that at the time. I didn't really look at the graphics, I rather have great story-driven experiences.

Now people always say in arguments and debates about the Wii and another console is that ... "Oh!11 graphics don't matter, itz all about gameplay". Well now there's talks about a new WiiHD (successor of the Nintendo Wii) and people are like "Oh!1 i hope the wii gets HD this time".

Not only this example, I've seen this sort of hypocracy in many others situations. Its been something that I just wanted to let out, its been on my chest for a bit.

I love my Nintendo Wii for what it is, all the features and games it offers currently make it a fine addition to have in your household as a console. I'm proud that I have one. I really could care less if the Wii goes into an enhancement as long as they still give us the hardcore titles that I want. (Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Kirby, etc.)

It does seem that way many times..I don't get it myself I love the wii for what it is.

It's not only Wii-owners actually.
Before 360:We hate FF games-Announcement-After 360:Look we are getting FF,360 king of RPG!!

Cows are making fun of the Wii being a kiddy console with kiddy games yet their most hyped game is a kiddy one..
Just the way it is :roll:

Yes Wii owners are hypocrites, well those that owned GC's last gen and claimed we had the best version of RE4 because it was graphically breath taking and now say graphics are irrelevant definitely are.

If you don't want to see people complaining about something then don't click the topics, everybody is entitled to their opinion and we all spent out a lot on the Wii.

There is nothing hypocritical about liking/wanting high quality visuals but still being fine without them at the same time._BlueDuck_

That's exactly the way i feel. Of course i'd enjoy HD graphics on the wii but i don't mind it not having it.

No, i am not happy because the Wii isn't what it could be. Nintendo keeps holding it back by not allowing hard drives (which they promised before the Wii came out, via the USB port). Also the Revolution was supposed to have HD graphics but then they totally changed the console and the name. I am realistic, they don't care about generation Y gamers. They want the current younger gamers to become loyal and they will focus on them as they get older then they will get their hardcore games.

Nintendo has lost us gamers who supported them through the hard times, i hope they enjoy their money because in a decade they will once again snub their generation of fans.

That's completely false. We didn't know much about the specs back in those early days, but it was hinted that the system would be weaker than the competition. Any mention of a uber-powerful "Revolution" (which BTW was just a codename, similar to "Dolphin" and "Nitro") was all just unfounded rumor.

I still don't really care about the graphics. I still play games made 25 years ago. If it's fun, I'm there. Very rarely do good graphics add to the experience for me. With games like Oblivion it totally adds to the experience. But in most cases, I go for whatever looks fun to play, not what looks better.

A rare case for me when choosing between graphics and gameplay was when deciding between Force Unleashed for the Wii or XBox 360. Being a diehard Star Wars fan, I wanted to experience it the way it was supposed to be the first time through, and I'm glad I did. Hell, if the graphics were ugly, I'd still have a blast with the physics engine, that's what totally sold me. I still plan to buy the Wii version for the controls and multiplayer though.

Look, anyone that plays games wants decent graphics. However, cows and lems make it like the whole system is garbage because their precious system has 'teh best gwaphics!' and from their standpoint a game can't be great unless it does.

Everyone knows that is not true, but the argument gets stuck there

I don't mind HD as long as Nintendo puts gameplay before graphics, because that's what matters most.

HD support could go either way for me

The people that say HD isn't cool haven't experienced it. The people that want it... have. raahsnavj

For me, HD is overrated and yes, I did experienced it. I did play on the 360 or PS3 in HD. The games looks good however some of these games bored me. HD means nothing for me. The next Wii could be in SD and maybe I would still have fun. It's the games that I'm interested that are more important in concept and originality.

I can give 2 examples: Gears of War and Kameo. I had more fun on Kameo in SD than GEars of War in HD. Gears of War bored me to death.

That's not really true, people can have the HD experience at one point but still come to a logical conculsion that it's not that beneficial. In the end it's just a resolution upgrade.

The people that say HD isn't cool haven't experienced it. The people that want it... have. raahsnavj

not entirely true. Many of my friends who have HD set ups and PS3/360 don't really care for it and don't really think its that special.

I've played games on HD and to be honest I don't give a damn.

I'm not paying a whole lot for a new system with just HD. Pathetic.

I purposely bought a Tube T.V. because I would probably crack the screen on an LCD flatscreen T.V... like I accidentally did to my $300 19" LCD Computer monitor. (It's taped up and there's a black hole in the corner of the screen)

Since I have a 27" Tube T.V. ATM I don't give a @#$% about HD visuals.

You're generalizing "us wii owners". You don't know that the same people who want HD graphics are the people who said that it's all about the gameplay.

As for me: Gameplay is what matters, but better graphics would definately be nice.

I quoted Haziqon out of respect, but this adresses everyone jumping on this statement. I think it is overrated as well. It isn't worth upgrading your whole system to have it either. But given the chance to have it I would take it. Those that say it doesn't help must have played the wrong game... Really, lets look at an easy location to compare: PC's. If you could play a game at 640x480 or at 1200x1024 which would you pick? As of right now I bet you are typing on a computer with the resolution set higher than 640x480 are you not? (if not you are the only ones that are not hypocrites). Everyone else I say BS. Higher resolution makes things better. It might not always be worth the cost, but really text is easier to read, the details are sharper, who wouldn't want it? You can still say you love the Wii for what it has given you this far and still agree HD wouldn't hurt anything (well except Nintendo's pockets)raahsnavj

640x480 to 1200x1024 on a PC monitor almost works. Except no PC monitor nowadays that I know of or maybe it's just mine. Can display 640x480 well. The minimum is 800x600, though I do have mine set at 1024x768, my monitor can go higher though.

Anycase, yes if I had the choice and it wasn't going to cost me anything. I would choose HD, most likely though I do worry about the HDTV's compablity of displaying 640x480 or heck 320x240 for my older consoles. All HDTV's I have seen make 480i stuff look bad.

That pretty much hits the nail on the head.

Exactly, if Nintendo offered a free upgrade to 1080p visuals, whose going to turn it down. Technology is all about going foward, I mean were all fine with standard controls last gen, does it make hyprocrites for taking to motions controls this gen?

Its something I've been really noticing, I truly bought a Nintendo Wii because I always love the first party games that they send out to us, Mario, Zelda, etc. Even glimpses at their third party developers like Red Steel and Rayman, even though Red Steel somewhat tanked, I didn't know that at the time.

Wii owners do care about visuals, what they're trying to say is that they aren't basing their choice in spending money on graphics. That doesn't mean they don't LIKE good graphics.

That's like punishing wii owners for buying component cables for progressive scan. I can see where you're coming from, but I think you're exaggerating it a bit too much.

I would however love to see a kirby game, and a new f-zero, and I'm dying for the new metroid game.
