Thats a good point, but I hoped the controller would make things fresh and re-ignite my interest. Didn't happen, well it did for a few months then started to die out like a long wet fart. I was like ''but I already have a Gamecube'' which I still play ten times more :P

Miyamoto is making a new franchise for the Wii. Instead of the controls being built around the game, the game is going to be built around the controls. So that should be really interesting.

So sheep, why the sudden change in preference? Last generation none of you guys cared about all these gimmicky mini-game collections and obscure childrens games. Since when has this junk become your new acquired taste? Since Nintendo started giving it to you?

nintendo-4life

Hmm...

Are all the games coming really minigames and kid's games? Some of these that you're dismissing as kiddy may actually have depth. Dunno, that's just me.

Not all games are minigames and kid's games, but the vast majority seem to be, and almost none of them are any good. I'm convinced that if it was the 360 and PS3 getting all this gimmicky junk, and the Wii getting all the 3rd party AAA blockbusters, that you sheep wouldn't be so objective and open minded as you're pretending to be.

If the 360 had the game library the Wii currently has, I wouldn't even consider buying one, much less praise it on GS.

I agree, the Wii has always had plenty of games (good games) and the next couple months have a ton of stuff coming out.

80% (that's being generous) of people in SW are stubborn and will stick to their guns no matter what. For example, Trauma Center is one of the more hardcore games out there just because of it's difficulty level... yet nobody seems to recognize it. MP, Zelda, and SPM are high quality first party games that are out in less than a year, again they don't flinch. 1st year 3rd party support that includes Manhunt 2, RS Tabletennis, Z+W, REUC, Rayman, MoHH, etc. again nothing. And games like BWii, Fire Emblem, Galaxy, etc. coming out shortly they still say there is nothing worth playing.

Just be thankful that system wars doesn't in anyway reflect the real world sales, or we would be playing the same bland shooters and overrated RPG's for years to come.

Grr, this is what I don't like about you. Your negative about everything. Even if the Wii ended up having twice as many AAA's and AA's as the PS3 and 360, you would still hate it. I can understand why you don't like the Wii, but you don't have to lower yourself to a fanboy.

I'm not lowering myself to anything and I'm not a fanboy, you just can't handle my point of view. Now your going to turn this into a flame fest.

Thw Wii has too many crappy and kiddy games, Uncharted will score better then SMG and SSBB.

Quote me on this.

If I may add to the debate:

PC has a way larger game library than the Xbox360. Does that mean the Xbox360 sucks?

I'm not even going to bring up the PS3.

There's a difference between having an opinion and being a fanboy. I'll just leave it at that.

Any level headed person doesnt see it that way, but the problem for people like me is, it hasnt adapted to the time, not so much the graphics, but the need for a great online service and *optional* competitive style ...Meu2k7

Who says that THAT is "the time"? Even on the 360 and PS3, only a third of all owners play online, and sales were slowing for both consoles until Halo 3 came out. Not to mention, the main games anticipated for the PS3 are ALL primarily single-player games: Uncharted, MGS4, FFXIII, WKS, etc.

Uh, nice post, but the Wii still doesn't have a lot of quality games. Quantity =/= quality.

Barnyard? Three different Sims games? Alien Invasion? Red Steel?

The Wii is a sweet console and will mature into something great, but yes, it doesn't have much in the way of games right now.

Yeah, and you're a bigtime anti-Sony fanboy. Why is it okay to hate Sony and not ok to hate Nintendo? He who lives in a glass house...

Of course it has games.

Just none that I like.

Tomarlyn, I'm not a fanboy for liking the Wii. If you don't like me arguing with you then YOU get out of System Wars cause your the one always complaining. And being a Wii hater is just as bad as being a fanboy.

Talk about irony. Everyone focusses on Wii's lineup and ignores PS3's equally to more lackluster library.

"The Wii has no games that are like" Waaa Waaa

Listen to you people. You blather on about your MGS4s and your Halo 3s and your Killzone2s. You go on and on about the graphical ability of these up and comers whilst systematically dogging any and all attempt at innovation and or change to the gaming "Status Quo" like some-sort of pro-repetitive game sect of the Catholic Church. On top of which, we see the PC crowd, who are arguably the most h-core of the hard core gamers, sitting tight, so comfortable in the fact that no console will ever match the gaming powerhouse that is the PC, that they see no need to deride other systems further than the odd snide remark or snort as yet another 360 flat lines due not to consumer error, or age, but to shoddy engineering. The PS3 fanbase, still hyped up by the drug of success from the last Gen, struggling to keep hold of their loyalty to the system, despite the dodgy six axis controls, the outrageous price tag, the promise of problems to come (Once a majority of the early purchase warranties have run out, no doubt), and the fact that despite the all powerful cell processor (The inclusion of which is part of the reason for the unrealistic price tag, no doubt), it's not actually noticably more powerful than the 360.

Mix all this in with the fact that online play on either of the Next Gen powerhouses is still lagging far behind that of their PC big brother (Halo 3 my ass, Renegade still has better online play, and that's not even a good game), you get a boiling cauldron of fanboy disillusion which makes them think that for some reason, their console of choice is worth more than Nintendos latest jump in gaming technology and philosophy, the Nintendo Wii. Besides the fact that it's graphics are sub par and the Online needs work. It has still provided hours of fun and opened up whole new avenues for developers to stride down in the hope that perhaps we can push the medium of games from out of the dark forests of shoot-kill-drive into lighter pastures, where they may prosper and grow, whilst still retaining all the qualities of the games we know and love.

The Wii controller is heaps of fun, for both H-C gamers who like the added immersion and control, to the drunk teenager, hitting the piss whilst playing the rhythm game on Rayman Raving Rabbids, spilling Tui on the couch.

The fact of the matter is, Nintendo is the only company smart enough to ensure it can grow and expand for generations to come. The other groups must be nervous because they seem to be pretty insistent of the fact that nobody likes the Wii, regardless of what the charts tell us.

Personally I have nothing against the 360 (The PS3 seems like a bit of a waste to me) it's a solid system with an impressive lineup of games, but the Wii is the one all the developers are excited about. I'm inclined to follow their lead, they obviously know what they are talking about.
