a quick FYI I camped out for all 3 next gen systems Wii , 360 and PS3 and out of all of them the Wii was the only one I actually kep for myself and played that day, the PS3 and 360 for solely for selling at 6 times the price on ebay.

And what do I get ? Quite obviously Nintendo's worst mainstream / big system ever.

-mediocre launch

Lets see first off It launched with what like 8 games and all except Zelda were overall mediocre as a whole and yes that means Wii sports too. Excite truck was a bad tech demo, Wii sports has little to no depth yeah the boxing is a blast until it gets old since it isnt online. Not even a decent 3rd party game.

:Gamecube Launched with RL2 9.4, and Wave Race 8.5 with Smash and Pikmin within a month .even Luigis Mansions was great for the 5 hours it lasted IMO

Terrible Hardware

Last gen is the only one where Nintendo didnt have the most powerful hardware and even with that said GC held its own against xbox any day of the week RE4, Zelda tp, Prime, Star fox adv much ? And the Wii from a hardware perspective is just horrible. its barely more powerful than the xbox which means games like Alan Wake, RE5 , DMC4 , Assasin's creed , Unreal T 3 etc will never even be pausible on the system. And were only 2 years into this gen imagine in late 08.

Continued stubborness to change

:lets see in 2002 Nintendo said gamers dont want online, now they're implying we dont care about HD ........ another misstake yes. Nintedo still doesnt have good console online, and HD is my way of life now . I even bought the Component cable for the Wii for Zelda and it still looked better on my 25 in SDTV than on my 32 inch olevia 720p.

3rd party lineup

:maybe it could be because the wii cant handle any of the good games which is why its getting stuff like escape from bug island... or maybe its because Wii games dont sell unless they have the Nintendo brand on them want proof ? RE Wii sales 331,618 ... compared to the horrible wii play sales of 2,087,623...... Its happening again and Nintendo doesnt even know it .

Straight up Betrayal

:I honestly applaud the DS and Nintendo's sucess , which is the only reason why we have the Wii and not the Revolution with Zelda looking better than Oblivion BTW. Nintendo simply realized that the DS was selling like hot cakes doing totally new things and its competition with much better hardware , capabilities , and graphics isnt doing nearly as well ,

thats great but why the hell couldnt you do both ? Your telling me you couldnt build a 360 hardware with a 40 gig harddrive and the wii mote for $299-$349. Theres a reason this works on the Handheld market its becuase most of the major series DMC, Final Fantasy new games, Kingdom hearts, Half life, Unreal , etc DONT EXIST ON HANDHELD

but they trive on console and they push the limits of technology and hardware, which is why you'd basically ostrisized these big developers. Which is why the Wii doesnt get RE5 or DMC4 , but a RE4 remake, and RE Chronicles which will flop like RE outbreak.

So enjoy those non HD cheap development cost , cause Big developers dont give a rats ass about it when they know they're Bioshock will sell 400k the first week. What your getting is tiny developers making a flood of garbage games.

The Wii is in first place because people like me bought it at launch and soon sold it a few months after because from launch to almost last week there were only 2-3 good games on the system and all were Old Nintendo franchises anyways

No new Ips/games

-360 has had - Kameo AA (possible franchise), Gears AAA (confirmed trilogy), mass effect probably AAA (confirmed triology I beleive), Crackdown fun game, etc

Ps3 has - Resistance AA (possible franchise),Warhawk AA (ok its technically new but it aint been seen since what 1998?), Motostorm great online , Heavenly Sword probably AA,

Wii has what new ips or games - Excite truck..... this one failed horribly.

Lazy Development

-Excite Truck was a $50 tech demo

-Wii sports didnt have online why ?

-Zelda made by one of the best developers in the world was uninspiring and was basically OOT with a wolf, wasnt nearly as impressive as Wind Waker

-the systems has what like 50 games rated under 6.9 already

I'm glad someone has realised the truth. If Nintendo has their way then we will be playing mini-games on SDTVs for the next 10 years. They are ruining gaming and it's sad that some people are too blind to see it.

Nintendo no longer needs the support of sheep/Nin-fans. They're supporting a different crowd now, gamers are second.

RE4 has come out on 2 systems already .... Zack and wiki :lol: ok guy I can already see you posting in the "Official Zack and Wiki 5.8 thread" saying " Well it looked pretty interesting...

The gameplay looks horrible, No more Heroes isnt impressing, Fire Emblem on console is much worse than it is on HH even hardcore sheep know that.

the Wii is more like a fun toy IMO, and the real competence is between the X360 and PS3. I just want a Wii for Manhunt 2 and RE: UC, and otherZelda if it's ever released :D

LOL its funny to see "gamers" make fun of Nintendo when they think that violent,gory FPS are "hardcore". You ppl make me sick. To be a real gamer, you have to play a game with the name Nintendo on it. Or what, you all are going to denounce old school gaming just because it doesnt have an army guy killing aliens in glorious HD? you noobs make me sick.

I'm sorry for not being a 5 year old child....... with that said one of my favorite Rpgs of last gen was without a doubt Thousand year door , which had no first person shooting , no gore and no heavy violence.

Do I like Mature games DUH I'm 21 . Can I enjoy a light hearted comedy adventure with little to no violence yes . but dont expect me to simply roll over and except mediocre games with a new control scheme .......

People put a bit too much on all this.

Heres how it goes:

If you grew up with games like mario and Zelda you will want a Wii

If you like the clasics that you can download for 5-10 bucks you will want a Wii

If you have a lot of friends to hand out at your pad you will want a Wii

This is more than enough for me to enjoy the Wii.

If you do not fit into the above get the other systems instead. (I happen to own all three cuase im an adult and have a job.).

Each of the 3 has something to offer and I for one am glad that the Wii is different than the other two, otherwise I would have 3 systems that are too similar

a quick FYI I camped out for all 3 next gen systems Wii , 360 and PS3 and out of all of them the Wii was the only one I actually kep for myself and played that day, the PS3 and 360 for solely for selling at 6 times the price on ebay.

Well that was your decsion, you are the one who decided not to make a profit off the Wii, I sitll have my Wii and I had to stand outside on 3 seperate occasions and I don't regret it, why hmm Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Virtual Console, maybe even a Kid Icarus title.

And what do I get ? Quite obviously Nintendo's worst mainstream / big system ever.

-mediocre launch

:Gamecube Launched with RL2 9.4, and Wave Race 8.5 with Smash and Pikmin within a month .even Luigis Mansions was great for the 5 hours it lasted IMO

Ok, because honestly I don't know what console has had that spectacular launch ever.

And were only 2 years into this gen imagine in late 08.

So they decided to focus on simplicity and ::gasp:: gameplay and funness(not a word). Not my fault you are shallow.

Continued stubborness to change

:lets see in 2002 Nintendo said gamers dont want online, now they're implying we dont care about HD ........ another misstake yes. Nintedo still doesnt have good console online, and HD is my way of life now . I even bought the Component cable for the Wii for Zelda and it still looked better on my 25 in SDTV than on my 32 inch olevia 720p.

Not even 10% of homes have HDtv's, I know, hard to believe right so...well you do the math

3rd party lineup

:maybe it could be because the wii cant handle any of the good games which is why its getting stuff like escape from bug island... or maybe its because Wii games dont sell unless they have the Nintendo brand on them want proof ? RE Wii sales 331,618 ... compared to the horrible wii play sales of 2,087,623...... Its happening again and Nintendo doesnt even know it .

Hmm a game that has been out for almost 2 years now vs something new, I mean seriously who hasn't played RE by now that they need to play it on the Wii, oh and EA and Ubisoft have jumped on board, I think they are doing alright

Straight up Betrayal

:I honestly applaud the DS and Nintendo's sucess , which is the only reason why we have the Wii and not the Revolution with Zelda looking better than Oblivion BTW.

whoa where to start, umm considering that Wii has sold well since launch your argument is flawed. I like HARDCORE Nintendo franchises, you are prolly to young to understand that and so do a lot of people. Oh and they VC which like it or not is crazy amazing. Oh and go do something else besides play videogames, seriously 2-3 games will tide me over for at least two months unless they are ridiculously short. Oh and since I game across the Wii and PS3 and the PC I have more then enough games to choose from. Oh and I will get an XBox360 once there is a game that I have to have that doesn't go to the PC.

No new Ips/games

-360 has had - Kameo AA (possible franchise), Gears AAA (confirmed trilogy), mass effect probably AAA (confirmed triology I beleive), Crackdown fun game, etc

Ps3 has - Resistance AA (possible franchise),Warhawk AA (ok its technically new but it aint been seen since what 1998?), Motostorm great online , Heavenly Sword probably AA,

Wii has what new ips or games - Excite truck..... this one failed horribly.

they are coming I promise and no I am not talking about WiiFit or that darn cooking game

Heres how it goes:

If you grew up with games like mario and Zelda you will want a Wii I did and I used to

If you like the clasics that you can download for 5-10 bucks you will want a Wii Roms are free and those Dls are overpriced

If you have a lot of friends to hand out at your pad you will want a Wii online gaming FTW ? have you ever played a wii, it takes so much freaking space to play something like wii sports alone

This is more than enough for me to enjoy the Wii.

Metroid Prime 3 basically nullifies this entire argument by the simple fact that Nintendo has done what they set out to do. Have the Best Controls of any console.

You idiotic sheep should be called the new lemmings, because you blindly follow Nintendo's lead when they would take you down the path of complete destruction. Nintendo could easily stop any game from being released on the Wii, they have the final say, that's what quality control IS. They choose not to, because they don't care if they produce another system that leads to the type of loss of confidence the gaming industry hasn't seen since E.T.They are killing the industry and do not even care just to make a dime. Stop being so blind.

THETRUEDOZAH

So sony must have had crap quality control for the PS2 right? I mean, the PS2 did so horribly with all the shovelware right?

Just because some games aren't that good shouldn't stop you from playing the great games that the Wii has to offer. I love my Wii, it's providing me with a lot of good and fun games to kill my time or give me entertainment.

yes whats smarter than buying a $250 console to play 10 year old games

And what do I get ? Quite obviously Nintendo's worst mainstream / big system ever.

Ok, because honestly I don't know what console has had that spectacular launch ever.

PS2 had a good launch, so did dreamcast, GC did aswell , Xbox had halo , 360 had a AAA and like 7 AA's too

Terrible Hardware

Last gen is the only one where Nintendo didnt have the most powerful hardware and even with that said GC held its own against xbox any day of the week RE4, Zelda tp, Prime, Star fox adv much ? And the Wii from a hardware perspective is just horrible. its barely more powerful than the xbox which means games like Alan Wake, RE5 , DMC4 , Assasin's creed , Unreal T 3 etc will never even be pausible on the system. And were only 2 years into this gen imagine in late 08.

So they decided to focus on simplicity and ::gasp:: gameplay and funness(not a word). Not my fault you are shallow.

but GASP, THE games arent fun , is crap like Wii play supposed to impress me GASP

Continued stubborness to change

:lets see in 2002 Nintendo said gamers dont want online, now they're implying we dont care about HD ........ another misstake yes. Nintedo still doesnt have good console online, and HD is my way of life now . I even bought the Component cable for the Wii for Zelda and it still looked better on my 25 in SDTV than on my 32 inch olevia 720p.

Not even 10% of homes have HDtv's, I know, hard to believe right so...well you do the math

and in 2002 less than 10% of gamers had broadband / online gaming capabilities...

3rd party lineup

:maybe it could be because the wii cant handle any of the good games which is why its getting stuff like escape from bug island... or maybe its because Wii games dont sell unless they have the Nintendo brand on them want proof ? RE Wii sales 331,618 ... compared to the horrible wii play sales of 2,087,623...... Its happening again and Nintendo doesnt even know it .

Hmm a game that has been out for almost 2 years now vs something new, I mean seriously who hasn't played RE by now that they need to play it on the Wii, oh and EA and Ubisoft have jumped on board, I think they are doing alright

Straight up Betrayal

:I honestly applaud the DS and Nintendo's sucess , which is the only reason why we have the Wii and not the Revolution with Zelda looking better than Oblivion BTW. Nintendo simply realized that the DS was selling like hot cakes doing totally new things and its competition with much better hardware , capabilities , and graphics isnt doing nearly as well ,

thats great but why the hell couldnt you do both ? Your telling me you couldnt build a 360 hardware with a 40 gig harddrive and the wii mote for $299-$349. Theres a reason this works on the Handheld market its becuase most of the major series DMC, Final Fantasy new games, Kingdom hearts, Half life, Unreal , etc DONT EXIST ON HANDHELD

once again because that wasn't their focus, not my fault that you are once again shallow

And they cant do both why :lol: fanboy you much ?

but they trive on console and they push the limits of technology and hardware, which is why you'd basically ostrisized these big developers. Which is why the Wii doesnt get RE5 or DMC4 , but a RE4 remake, and RE Chronicles which will flop like RE outbreak.

So enjoy those non HD cheap development cost , cause Big developers dont give a rats ass about it when they know they're Bioshock will sell 400k the first week. What your getting is tiny developers making a flood of garbage games.

The Wii is in first place because people like me bought it at launch and soon sold it a few months after because from launch to almost last week there were only 2-3 good games on the system and all were Old Nintendo franchises anyways

whoa where to start, umm considering that Wii has sold well since launch your argument is flawed. I like HARDCORE Nintendo franchises, you are prolly to young to understand that and so do a lot of people. Oh and they VC which like it or not is crazy amazing. Oh and go do something else besides play videogames, seriously 2-3 games will tide me over for at least two months unless they are ridiculously short. Oh and since I game across the Wii and PS3 and the PC I have more then enough games to choose from. Oh and I will get an XBox360 once there is a game that I have to have that doesn't go to the PC.

Ok based off that theory you must have a $800 gaming pc cause thats the only reason it should matter right , otherwise you'd be a biased fanboy :lol:. cause I could careless if Bioshock is on PC , I dont have a $800 gaming pc and it doesnt make me enjoy the game less knowing it exist on pc

No new Ips/games

-360 has had - Kameo AA (possible franchise), Gears AAA (confirmed trilogy), mass effect probably AAA (confirmed triology I beleive), Crackdown fun game, etc

Ps3 has - Resistance AA (possible franchise),Warhawk AA (ok its technically new but it aint been seen since what 1998?), Motostorm great online , Heavenly Sword probably AA,

Wii has what new ips or games - Excite truck..... this one failed horribly.

they are coming I promise and no I am not talking about WiiFit or that darn cooking game

mediocre as a whole and yes that means Wii sports too-you shouldnt complain about wii sports as its free

Kingdom hearts, DONT EXIST ON HANDHELD- yes it does have you seen it on the gba cause i have

Final Fantasy new games, Half life, Unreal- those games dont exist for Nintendo consoles anyways except CC which doesnt really count

and RE Chronicles which will flop like RE outbreak.- predicting the future now are we?

Last gen is the only one where Nintendo didnt have the most powerful hardware- really? i didnt know the N64 had better visuals than the ps1 or even dreamcast.

they're implying we dont care about HD- actually they looked at the facts and facts are that the majority of households dont have hd tv's

Excite truck was a bad tech demo-i seem to remember thats how most of the ds games started out

What your getting is tiny developers making a flood of garbage games.-simple oppinions dont count as fact here in system wars or anwhere else

3rd party lineup-is being ramped up more all the time

there io found something wrong with almost every paragraph you just typed

enjoy

Metroid Prime 3 basically nullifies this entire argument by the simple fact that Nintendo has done what they set out to do. Have the Best Controls of any console.kansasdude2009

So I guess I'm not a real gamer by your logic

my statement will not be rescinded. If you are still with Nintendo, and approve of the way their are slaughtering the industries quality, you are either not a gamer, or ignorant.

I'm sorry sir but your the ignorant one here you seem to forget that most crap coming out form the Wii are form 3rd party developers not Nintendo

it is Still Nintendo's onus to assure quality control. Do not address me again.

if most devs would stop bein lazy and actually make quality games insted of shovlewere crap.

you aren't good at following instructions, are you. ok then, i'm going to try to say this without getting banned, but really I could care less.

You idiotic sheep should be called the new lemmings, because you blindly follow Nintendo's lead when they would take you down the path of complete destruction. Nintendo could easily stop any game from being released on the Wii, they have the final say, that's what quality control IS. They choose not to, because they don't care if they produce another system that leads to the type of loss of confidence the gaming industry hasn't seen since E.T.They are killing the industry and do not even care just to make a dime. Stop being so blind.

didnt u read what i said ubisoft and other devs r using wii profits to make 360 and ps3 games, agin its not killing the industry! nothing is killing enything, we still have our halos,mgs,ff,metroids,zeldas,and tho other good stuff. STOP complaining.

no, not at all. Nintendo's whole idea behind the Wii was Playing = Believing. Well, I played, and I believe that Metroid Prime 3 controls FAR better than any console FP game on any console. Period.

I suggest you go and find out for yourself.

I agree, I've owned all Nintendo's console's with pride and this is the worst thing they've ever released (barring the VB).

Yea. I got to play with MP3 today.

It feels so weird using analog sticks.

I think a good comparaison between the effectiveness of the two control schemes would be RE4. Thanks to the Wii version, and I pull scores that I didn't even dream of in the Cube one.
