I am a "new" Wii gamer, and you all make me feel sick

Hello all, I'm Suze Douglas. I bought a Wii a few weeks ago and have been having a boatload of fun with my kids playing games. Wii Sports, Monkeys in a Ball, "Wario Ware", Boogie have all been a riot. I decided to see what the real world of gaming is like and stumbled across this site.

Boy, does it make me feel sick.

All you people do is complain and whine about your precious "consoles". And what is worse, you sit there and demean the Wii, which is taking this industry to new heights. It seems there are a lot of people angry about what the Wii has done to gaming. Why? The games are more fun now, I am evidence of that. I would never have played any of your old "kill X amount of people in X amount of time" games. Nintendo is bringing games that everyone can enjoy, and play together. It's not about being by yourself and killing anymore, it's a much more healthy industry.

I hope you all can look in the mirror and see what you're saying. Games were in a terrible state before, but the Wii is allowing it to be for everyone. I know there are many new players like me voting with their wallets, and I hope we never get another slaughtering game again.

I hate to break it to you all, but you're going to have to adjust to the new, better, healthiervideogame industry. Playing tennis with your family is better than killing for fun.

You must feel like the luckiest gal in the world stumbling into such a mecca for gaming enthusiasts.

PS: Congrats on the troll account

Hey, I'm all for the Wii. It is the most fun you can have at a keg party, that is until you get a wayward golf swing in the face. Ha! On a serious note, you should get your kids Red Steal. The'll LOVE it.

Its up to what kind of games your into. I like Wii sports almost as much as I like Halo. Both games are fun, matter of opinion. Enjoy your new fun factory.

I have a Wii and DS, I love both :)

I am still looking forward towards buying a 360 soon though. Xbox 360 + Wii = great combination. My sister loves the Wii more, but still has got some small interest in our future Xbox 360.

Ignore the Wii haters. Most of them are just upset because they now wish they had bought a Wii instead of one of those other "consoles". They won't admit that of course, even to themselves. But deep down inside, they wish they had chosen the Wii instead.Number_1_Gamer

Ya keep telling yourself that.

hahaha umm no i have no interest in a wii for 3 games, smg mp3 and loz:tp. people who rip on the wii arent jealous they just don't see it as the "revolution" it wassupposed to be. its more gimmicky

Yeha.....this thread proves wii is for children and their moms....on a more serious note yes the wii is ruining gaming not taking it to new hights...its made games to simple and bland give me bioshock over wario ware anyday of the week...shoot i hate PS3 but i would rather own a ps3 1000years before a wii....and technology is supposed to progress not regressGuitartod

yeah so true, tc do you want a paper bag or something.

I'm not trying to sound stupid, but is this satire? Or did a soccer mom actually come on here? It sounds so real... whatever, I *somewhat* agree, but you take it way to far. Trigger_Hppy

well he/she has 1 post so i think its some dude/dudey with new account

I'm glad to see that most of the posts here are positive. I just dislike the fact that - from what I have read - this system seems to be given a hard time because it is "ruining videogames" and promoting games that are genuinely fun.

Think about Monkeys in a Ball. What a priceless concept. No guns needed, but it is a whole lot of fun to tilt your controller to move a little pal like Gongon or Aiai.

Hello sir,

There is a new game on the Wii called Manhunt 2, I think you should buy it for yourself and your children. It will help them grow. It will take them to new heights.

All you people do is complain and whine about your precious "consoles". suzedouglas

thats because your in system wars!

Why else would they bash the Wii? I can't think of any other reason other than jealousy.

Well said

yeah but these simple and boring games are what hold video games back from being called art. games like bioshock progress the industry even mass effect looks to do so as well. hl2 is showing amazing story telling through its expanded episodes. wii games are just quick cash ins for fun but nothing to be taken seriously. i feel real gamers who own wii's just cant let go of their pride and admit their console isnt waht they thought it was with 3 or 4 maybe great games in its future lifespan. they expected more and now are simply satisfied (barely) with the fact that its winning which doest matter if the games on it are trash

Actually to the people who are saying I am "some dudey" who is faking liking the Wii (as if it's impossible to like), this is quite far fetched. I have recently fell in love with some games on the system, and me and my children (even sometimes my husband!) all have a blast on the Wii. I decided to look up some games my children may enjoy and got to your site. Guitar Hero sounds fun (maybe my kids can learn to appreciate music too!).

Anyways, I'm not trying to be harsh. I'm just saying you should all learn to accept that Nintendo is taking your video games industry to great new heights. I wish you all wouldn't look at it with such resentment and embrace it.suzedouglas

Sowhat deleted/lost a bet/account from which you originaly hail? btw you dont just stumble upon system wars

I disagree that Nintendo's new games are better, most of their new series are kind of lame, the only games I want for the wii are Metroid Prime, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and No More Heroes, and the next Zelda, whenever it comes, those games have killing or fighting in them. The rest of the games, like Wii Sports, and WarioWare don't interest me, and WiiFit is just a pointless game.

How is the wii making the video game industry better or healthier? And how were games in a terrible state before because I enjoyed them?

And I don't have to adjust to those games, because, the PS3, 360, PC, and yes the wii too are coming out with these "violent" games.

Don't take the posts here seriously here either, they are fanboys and like their consoles, and are arguing for fun. MOst of the people don't take this place seriously, and enjoy the arguing. There are some who take it seriously though.

If the post is fake: Congrats, great thread. :lol:

If the post is real: Don't worry about them, most of the people posting on these forums you will likely never meet in life as they rarely leave their basements.

really? cause i thought it sounded so fake (and i happen love the wii by btw) mainly because she talks like a true gamer soccer moms dont talk about the shape of the videogame industry like she does or voting with their wallets

The reasons videogames can't be called art is because they are all about killing as a sport. I am going to assume that most of those games you mentioned involve killing people for points.

A Wii game such as monkeys in a ball can truly be called art. To take such a simple concept and allow an entire family to get together and enjoy it, that's art.suzedouglas

If you are denying bioshock/hl2/oblivion their right to be called art then i really dont think u know anything about art at all....

I suppose I should clarify a point (it seems I have caused some aggression here) - when I say the video game playing industry was in trouble before, I mean content wise.

I've watched some programs about violence in videogames, and have been astonished at the idea of awarding "points" for killing other people. I would never let any of my children near these games. Then I heard about the Wii, a game machine with no such games. Where people can enjoy little games and share moments with each other.

Actually though, I'm a little worried about the Wii's first violent game "Naruto". My kids liked this show until I found out it was about little kids beating each other up. Now there is a fighting game about little kids on the Wii, which I find distasteful.

It's one game I have to steer clear of and hope others will do the same.
