Yet I've run into you so many times.

Anyway, not all fanboys are filth. There is the rare polite fanboy, who doesn't argue against logic and accepts other people's opinions.

Even so, he wouldn't change his opinion for the world. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a fanboy, right?

one post yesterday was so bad i had to make an account but i have been reading here for some 3 years now but in 2 weeks its back to school so prob another 9months till im back any who....

agreeing to disagree i dont think is fanboyish i think thats just opinionated in the case you discribed

facts are the truth as one sees it and not being able to see the publics view does not make your view wrong

And....... Im sorry you are in denial or cant afford more than just the wii. I dont feel the need to defend my wii in every tread. I wish it was a better console, I did buy one. It dosent benefit me for the wii to suck.

bf2nutta

Actually, I'm also a proud owner of a 360. I was just pointing that using that "nobody in this site" argument was kinda... lame.

Also that your opinion doesn't change that, overall, NMH is considered a great game.

Also that if somebody disagrees with you that doesn't mean he has no taste.

And, most important, that for most of us "sheeps", "N-fans" or whatever you want to call us, the Wii is a great console, because it has what we want, great Nintendo games, like SMG etc.

My whole argument was that, just because you (or the "majority in this site") think the Wii is a bad console, it doesn't mean it is.

How is it not a bad console? The PS#/360 has RE5- resistance2- gears2- mgs4- cod4- the list goes on and on. The wii even misses out on all the great multiplat games. Im sorry but I really dont see it.

Do you realise not everyone enjoys first/third person shooters as you have listed above.....

Since E3 there been this sudden influx of Wii Haters like I posted b4 the Wii offers me different type of games new and old and for £150 I can't complain... ahhh yeah if u missed it GameSpot gave SMG GOTY.

By the way I love NMH I think its a damm cool game, very different but for me its what would happen if Tarantino made a video game... and shock horror I enjoy COD4 and MGS4 as well..

I know SMG got goty. I bought my wii for that game. I played it at gamestop and bought a wii that night. Great game, dosent change my opinion on the wii.

Yes, it is on par. All systems are perfectly capable. It's Nintendo not letting the games go through, that is the catch.

Yeah, the announcement of WM and WSR didn't exactly help people's views, but that's why 3rd party support is starting to pick up.

How 'bout that. Now the THIRD parties are making the good games, and the FIRST parties are pumping out crappy casual shovelware.

You do know that would not be a bad thing....Look at the top 20 games on Gamerankings. The GC and PS2 are tied and one of the PS2 games are a port from the GC. Also note only 1 Xbox title.

The highest rank game from last gen was Metroid Prime.

i dont consider them equal in the sense of what they are meant for.

Wii is supposed to be a fun little system, while the other 2 consoles are 'serious' business (only in SW of course)

whats the point of having 3 identically-powered consoles anyway? variation is the key here, folks.

remember what happened to nintendo last time there were 3 virtually identical consoles? that was last gen and they were dead last in sales...

This is the age of HD gaming and Nintendo said they didn't need that cause they got a fancy motion device. Lets not forget about a hard drive or even basic dvd playback. Then for some flavor, you charge $250 for a machine with out dated hardware and have no central online service. Friend codes, wow that guy needs to be fired. Nintendo says the choice of games will be endless because nobody has done the motion device before. Yup, look at all those great 3rd party games... hahaha.

Bottom line, the only thing that changed for Nintendo was that they are selling a lot more consoles. They still lack any 3rd party support or new first party IP's. After their E3 conference, how can you have any confidence in a company that is making such simple games where all you have to do is move your hands a little and the game will do everything else for you? They can keep their six year olds and their grandma's, I'll stay with the gamers.

The Wii is something else, as you said that isn't really a bad thing.....it's just targeting a different audience. That's why people only do comparisons to PS3 and X360 lately.....those two are going after the same people.

As a business Nintendo was brilliant to go after the people who were not intrested in video games. I never thought it was possible but they showed everyone how wrong that thinking is. Until 3rd party devs start putting all their games (not just casual, kid stuff) on the Wii, you can't really compare it to the other two.

its equal but not the same. ah well third party support is picking up quite dramatically so i think the way to go is for exckusive games instead of just giving wii PS2 ports. tho that said COD5 and TFU look like great multiplats

Are there even standard TV's for sale anymore? I go to Best Buy and even my local Wal-Mart and all the TV's seem to be HDTV's? Yes a lot of the cheap ones are only 720P or 1080i, but I can't remember seeing a non-HD TV for sale.

Then in 2009 isn't the standard signal going to be in hidef? Obviously HD is quickly going to be the standard so Nintendo was pretty shortsighted in this thinking.

I only have a Wii atm and im perfectly fine with it. This is coming from a person who owned a PS2 last gen too.

I wanted something different, thus got that with the Wii. I don't know what it is, nothing on the PS3/360 makes me want to get those right away. The only title I can see doing so is God of War III.

It's not standard, but it certainly impedes the shelf life of the Wii.

tv's last for years. less than 50% of households have an HDTV. so no, HD is still not standard yet.

also, in 2009 the standard signal is gonna be changed from analog to digital, it has nothing to do with HiDef. (you will still get a digital standard-definition signal for the TV stations that dont offer HD)

A recent study of consumers across the U.S. indicates that 25 percent of U.S. households or 28 million now have at least one HDTV set, that up from a penetration of 20 percent in September 2007.

Exactly. Lots of us still game on standard tv's. I would get a hdtv but am moving to another country at the end of the year so it would be pointless in my situation.

Wait, games such as SMG, NMH and MP3 can 't be compared too games such as Bioshock?

There is something awfully wrong with that..

What exactly does these games lack?

surrealnumber5

Depth.


That is to say, Storyline, Detail, and unique Personality.

In the case of NMH, it's lacking a point.

ouch another fanboy thread

i voted 2 but wii and any thing else would be the best if you only have 2

pcwii and out i go

I'll start by saying that I agree with you on one point - if you own a good PC and you enjoy playing on your PC, then it is more than a substitute for anything else the gaming world has to offer. Most of anything worth looking at on the 360 is or is going to be on the PC.


Now as for my comments being a fanboy response, I beg to differ. You're comparing Apples to Carrots when you try to compare Mario to Bioshock.

Let me make a more clear comparison;

Comparing Metroid against Bioshock is like comparing the telivision show Dragon Ball Z against the movie The Twilight Samurai.

Comparing No More Heroes against Metal Gear Solid is like comparing Beavis and Butthead against Firefly.

Comparing a Mario against oh, say, Ratchet and Clank is, well, like comparing two cartoons.


But that's my point. You don't compare Dexter's Laboratory to Myth Busters because they are both loosely based on science.

Or more appropriately, you shouldn't compare Spider Man 2 to Les Miserables.

The difference is depth. Perhaps all of these examples were made to entertain, but there is something to seriously learn from in the others; that is, something to think about - like how Rapture represents something about human nature, or maybe about how freaky the dang place is.


The Wii is has good games for entertainment, but they are novelties. There's nothing wrong with that, but some of us also like meat, which the Wii has very little of to offer.

I'm not calling the Wii the bastard child of Nintenod or anything like that; I'm just pointing out that you really can't compare it to the other systems, because it's completely different and it focuses on a completely different interest.

It's a cheap casual focused party system. It serves non-gamers very well

For gamers it's about as good as the PSP, N64 or Gamecube

For the love of the Gaming God, can people stop mentioning DVD playback and all that crap that has literally nothing to do with gaming? This is GameSpot and we discuss the gaming industry here.

The Wii is just GameCube 2.0----it plays the same games you'd find on the gamecube. All of Nintendo's best games are still titled Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. The motion sensing is just what gives it gimmick. Now that it's dying down, everyone is realizing that this system really is for children and grandparents.feryl06

imo, wii is MUCH worse off than gamecube was

yeah its a secondary console i find it hard to believe that any real gamer could only own a wii and nothing else, including a good gaming pc and such

Firstly, let me just say that i have all three systems and i love my wii.

But I still can't shake the feeling that third party devs don't tak the wii as seriously as the other consoles.

[QUOTE="air_wolf_cubed"]Erm HD is not yet standard I dont see whats so bad about not going HD just yetBigJerm1

Are there even standard TV's for sale anymore? I go to Best Buy and even my local Wal-Mart and all the TV's seem to be HDTV's? Yes a lot of the cheap ones are only 720P or 1080i, but I can't remember seeing a non-HD TV for sale.

Then in 2009 isn't the standard signal going to be in hidef? Obviously HD is quickly going to be the standard so Nintendo was pretty shortsighted in this thinking.

tv's last for years. less than 50% of households have an HDTV. so no, HD is still not standard yet.

also, in 2009 the standard signal is gonna be changed from analog to digital, it has nothing to do with HiDef. (you will still get a digital standard-definition signal for the TV stations that dont offer HD)

Exactly. Lots of us still game on standard tv's. I would get a hdtv but am moving to another country at the end of the year so it would be pointless in my situation.

Pointless? I've had my HDTV with me in Arizona, Okinawa, and Germany. It wasn't pointless.

I just figure it will be easier to buy one when I get there instead of having to ship a bunch of stuff around the world.

Graphics = NO

Sound = NO

Physics = NO

Online features = NO

Online gaming = NO

Console Features = NO

3rd Party support = NO

Major/popular multiplatform 3rd party franchises (GTA4-RE5-COD4 nad many many more) = NO

Great 1st Party games = YES though is more for Nintendo fans ( N icons etc )

Controls = DEPENDS ( If for you Wiimote is a revolutionary way to play games ok , but some want the game itself to provide the innovative gameplay and not the gamepad..)

OVERALL = Not even close to PS3/x360 almost in EVERY genre (except maybe platforms ,YET ) I can make another 12321 examples. The point is , that if youre not a N fan , or you dont like much N icons , youll never find the BEST game on each GENRE on Wii except the classic N icons based games. And thats a fact. IF anyone dont agree , we can compete with actually games.

In 2009 all signals will be digital (not your basic channel 1,2,3,4 there will be about 30 channels, in UK its called Freeview) but I'm guessing by then most people will have a Hi Def tv with something like SkyHD

I don't think it will be too bad for 2009 because although nearly everyone who knows a bit about technology will have a hi def tv and something that can be run Hi def on it by 2009 as the wii was targeted at casuals most casuals probably won't have a hi def tv

Still I would of loved the wii to be HD :(

Like I know on a PS3 you can hook it up to a speaker system with an Optical Fibre Cable (or something) but can you do that with the 360? And even so how many people have a speaker system? ( I know people are getting it more and more and by 2009 a lot more people will probably have it but how many people who own a ps3 have a speaker system atm?)

Wait, games such as SMG, NMH and MP3 can 't be compared too games such as Bioshock?

There is something awfully wrong with that..

What exactly does these games lack?

mstc_Q

Depth.


That is to say, Storyline, Detail, and unique Personality.

In the case of NMH, it's lacking a point.

You think MP3 has less depth than Bioshock? LOL. And how is NMH lacking a point? What's the point of games is it not to have fun and to be entertained, well then how is NMH lacking that...

Apparently you haven't played Bioshock.


Apparantly you haven't played Metroid Prime 3.

The only thing the Wii is nearly on par with is the Gamecube, and even that... it falls short on one big key concept: games - the Wii just doesn't have much.

It's like having two sports cars, and then you have the Prius. It's simply just... different.

Bioshock has depth? Gameplay? Not so much?

Hardware, and last generation - the Gamecube was the one, by a large margin that is, with the least amount of quality titles. Every year the Xbox or the PS2 would get over or near 100 quality titles (games which score above 69.999%) while the Gamecube would be lucky to get over 50.
