Seriously... I'd like to know. It has the worst online service out of the three consoles, the least quality games, the most mini games by a landslide, and numerous clues which which make it evident that Nintendo doesnt care about us gamers.

Reggie said at E3 this year that first time Mario Kart players will be "bumper to bumper" with experienced players- this means that this series is getting a huge downgrade, plus that gimmicky wheel controller which has no use other than to steal your money.

On top of all that stuff, the Wii has horrible third party support.

Please fill me in... I'd like to know how anyone can respect a console that is set to ruin this industry.

no matter what anybody says, you're going to think the same thing. if anything, the only point of this topic was to give you a reason to insult people, be it calling them scared if they don't respond, or childish if they do. it's been done too many times.

and naturally, you're going to ignore this, or insult me.

How's it gonna ruin the industry?

It's not like 360 is selling horribly, and even though the PS3 isn't so hot right now, it's got some great looking titles coming too.

I don't understand why everyone is assuming that the PS2 userbase isn't still playing their PS2. Look at the software sales. It's still extremely strong.

I like it for what it is, but it'll never replace my PS3 or 360 as my main console.

*sigh*

Why do you even bother? The fact that there are so many Nintendo fans on this board proves gamers take it seriously.

Clues? I guess that's all you have when Fire Emblem, BWii, SSBB, MP3, SMG, Mario Kart, and Paper Mario all come out within a year.

Online suxorz though, but doesn't mean it can't improve.

Reggie said at E3 this year that first time Mario Kart players will be "bumper to bumper" with experienced players- this means that this series is getting a huge downgrade, plus that gimmicky wheel controller which has no use other than to steal your money.

He meant the controls would be intuitive enough that anyone could pick up and play. I guess you'd rather just go and get a Halo 3 edition 360, along with matching controller, and some Game Fuel to chug while you play Halo 3 Legendary Edition. :/

On top of all that stuff, the Wii has horrible third party support.

Nintendo has always had 3rd party support.

Please fill me in... I'd like to know how anyone can respect a console that is set to ruin this industry.

Teh Wii iz kilin gamezors! :lol:

seems people love to take nintendo quotes out of context.

"bumper to bumper" with experienced players simply means the new control scheme with the wii wheel. It means that everyone has to start over at square one. "experienced players" could just as easily mean experienced mariokart players, and that the game will still reward skill. I suppose my interpretation COULD be wrong, but based on the ignorance in other interpretations of nintendo quotes, like shigeru saying "i could have made halo"), I would guess not.

That is because you probably just read that last line of my initial post and wrote me off as just another Wii basher.

When the truth is that I presented great points and you have no reply so you just laugh and pretend like I'm not right.

If it's going to ruin the industry like you say, then switch over to PC, problem solved. Besides, the Wii is quite fun to play anyway, I'm having a blast with MP3.

The real question is: how can any real gamer NOT take the Wii seriously or any system for that matter? The true definition of a true gamer is one that atleast wants to play games on every system available. I myself would love to do just that but don't have the money to own all systems and handhelds and the pc. It's not short-sided fanboy stupidity holding me back, just funding.

I read it. I'm just not in the mood to reply and type a lot. Plus I was about to replay the great immersive gaming experience that is MP3. Whatever...

The worst online doesn't mean it isn't good, it's decent. The least quality titles is your opinion and you don't have to play the minigames... I sure don't. Play the good ones. Nintendo brings so many hardcore games in the same year like BWii, MP3, Galaxy, SSBB, Fire Emblem, etc... which I think is more than Sony's 1st party titles this year. Your second paragraph doesn't have any facts, just predictions. The game still can be great. Yeah the support isn't great but still I can see a few gems like Zack & Wiki and No more heroes. And it can only get better.

Seriously you bring nothing new to the table. Wii bashing threads are all the same.

The point of the Wii is that it isn't supposed to be taken seriously. It's just supposed to be a fun console that offers another way to play games. Whether or not that way is better or equal or worse is your opinion.

Its a fun console, whats your problem? Theirs nothing wrong with owning one. Plus, many people, like myself, are going to be owning two consoles, not just one.
