Is the Wii even seen as a serious competitor in terms of game quality anymore?

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"][QUOTE="silversix_"]Really impressed how sheep always blindly defend their console knowing its pathetic compared to ps360. Where are the big hitters? Batman AC, BF3, MW3 (this game suck though), Dark Souls, TW2, Gears, Uncharted? You get another mario that drives a cart :lol: silversix_

Calling others fanboys kinda makes it look like you are the fanboy... Just saying. Especially when you call the other library pathetic.

I'm fanboy of what exactly? I don't defend my systems when they have a *****y year, sry....

Wait did I say Fanboy? I meant Hater. I always get those two mixed up... :x

I didn't say you were a fanboy of any particular system. I was just saying, when you say that, you're acting like one. No one ever said the Wii has had a great year this year. If I remember correctly PS3's were selling more in Japan than Wii's as of last week. Wii is dying... ending as a better term, with its final bang, which is Skyward Sword.
But the overall library of games does compete with the HD twins.

Nintendo's first Party are always comepeting with everyone else and always doing fantastic (except Wii themed games like Wii Music, I choose to ignore those and pretend Nintendo didn't make that. We all know when I say first party, I'm talking about Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc.)

The Wii haves some really cool exclusives and it's definetely a cool consoles. It may be lacking on the visuals and online components but there are some true masterpieces in the system.

if you have a gaming PC, the ps3 or x360 becomes pathetic to the Wii because Wii provides unique experiences whereas PS3 and X360 have inferior versions of multiplats and online services and its exclusives aren't that great compared to the PC's library.

As if i bought all three at the same time :lol: Wii has *unique* games if you care about Wii fit, mario zelda and metroid, if you don't this is the kind of games i won't bother even if i was payed to play. Not only it bores me be they all look like crap on HDTV's without exceptions, which isn't improving its gameplay.

I don't think your lack of knowledge of critically acclaimed Wii titles aside from nintendo games is a logical reason to bash the wii.

@bbkkrisian If we were in the late 90's you would've though i was a blind nintendo fanboy who defended almost everything on N64. That because the system was great. Unique games, quality games and mature games and not 20 marios per year with 1 million mini games. I don't like what i see since the Wii launched, what do you want me to say? Mini games in 480p isn't what i call gaming.

Nah, it hasn't been for years. If you already own a PC / PS3 / 360 to get your main gaming, the Wii is a nice add on for Ninty fun and wacky party games. No chance on it's own though, you'd be missing just about every awesome 3rd party game this gen.

The quality in mass numbers provided by the PS3/360 is like a mountain to the Wii's molehill.

The Wii can be considered the best secondary platform. If you have a gaming PC, the features and games of PS3 and X360 lessens and the Wii shines more because its games provide unique experiences that you can't experience on any other platform whereas the HD twins provide inferior versions and online services of the PC. Face it, PS3 and X360 are like PC wannabee platforms. Aside from Japanese games, PC is where it's at when it comes to the likes of the games you provided.

I really agree with to an extent but the debate didn't include the PC.

If we suddenly ignore the PC, the Wii still has quality but it just doesn't have "quantity". Its list of critically acclaimed games are outnumbered by the HD twins because of the inclusion of multiplats not to mention the minimal third party support of the wii. But make no mistake, Wii has high quality games.

You call the sheep blindly defending the system when you're blindly hating on the system when you haven't even played the fantastic games on it. They know what they are defending, you don't know what you're attacking.

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, its not the book's fault, especially when you haven't read it. :|

The Wii's 3rd party developers have destroyed it with worthless shovelware. But it does have its amazing gems, like Mario Kart Wii and the Legend of Zelda(Nintendo's Classics). Those games go above and beyond the game quality of most PS3 and XBOX360 games - especially compared to there first party games. Those games put it on par with the PS3 and 360, but since there are so little, and floods of absolute **** games I eventually sold my Wii and got a 360.

The Wii might not have as many quality games as the HD twins, but its quality cap is a heck of a lot higher IMO.

In terms of game design nothing tops

-New Super Mario Bros. Wii

-Donkey Kong Country Returns

-Batman Arkham Asylum

-Punch-Out!!

-Sin and Punishment Star Successor

this gen and I haven't experienced a game with more creativity and imagination than Super Mario Galaxy 2 perhaps ever.

Nintendo games are always awesome, I just wish the 3rd parties could match them!!! If I could have games like Mass Effect, Bioshock, Ass Creed, Skyrim, Arkham, Tropico, etc, next to Mario Metroid Zelda, it would be the ideal console.

Majority of *big hits* (if you can even call them that) i've tried from random places (friend houses/gamestop even rented wii back in 07...) the only game i enjoyed is MHTri. The rest of *big hits* is what i've played last gen, the gen before and before that...

Then you weren't looking hard enough, that's not the Wii's fault.

You noticed Cooking Mama and not Goldeneye and Conduit 2? Not Wii's fault...

RPGs: The 3 head hitters 2 aren't out yet but are hyped: Pandora's Tower, Xenoblade, and The Last Story. I'll admit that Wii is lacking RPGs, I've played a few, but none really worth mentioning. RPG's are golden on handhelds this day of age.

Looking at the numbers, I would have to say no, but it's still a very good console. SMG is one of my favourite games of all time, but the same can be said for some games on the PS3 and 360.

It does? Damn. Any 24players+ games? I love big scale shooters, wonder if Wii has any. Don't think so. Even MHTri is limited to 4 players per town... pathetic. And to the dude above who asked if i tried GoldenEye and The Conduit 2. I tried golden eye over 10 years ago and played the helllllllllllll of it plus its comming in HD so why would i care about the wii version in 480p? Nothing needs to be said about The Conduit 2 :lol: this shooter is a perfect exemple that wii has completely different standards. If this thing was released on ps360/pc it would've been forgotten before its release day but since on wii shooters are non existent lots of people bring this crappy games a an exemple of quality lmao.

MOH Heroes 2 is 32 players online. It was actually alot of fun too, also most Wii fans don't care about Conduit 2. Have you ever played MH3? How could it ever work with more than 4 players?

The Wii's time has past, so there's not much to really compare/compete with anymore. Its library is basically over and done with. Even Xenoblade was just a localization of a game already released last year in Japan.

The only 100% new games coming out on the horizon that are hyped at all are Zelda and Kirby.

The PC game is an MMORPG. 4 players per town makes perfect sense. Why would you want more?

It's amazing to see the best selling console fizzle out so quickly especially when in the past we saw the SNES, PS and PS2 live very long lives even after they got usurped by new gen consoles. What's up with the Wii? Why is it the exception to this rule? The Nintendo DS is following is doing what leading systems do and will probably still have new games released on it for the next 3-4 years I bet.So what's up Wii? Y U NO FOLLOW THIS TREND?

[QUOTE="silversix_"]

[QUOTE="meetroid8"] MOH Heroes 2 is 32 players online. It was actually alot of fun too, also most Wii fans don't care about Conduit 2. Have you ever played MH3? How could it ever work with more than 4 players?meetroid8

In towns. Look at the pc version. Four players co-op is okay but 4players per town is a joke...

The PC game is an MMORPG. 4 players per town makes perfect sense. Why would you want more?

Because MH is waaaaaaaaaay better as an MMO. The whole concept of the game is GRIND. What's the point of grinding hundreds of hours when you can't *show off*? The only reason.

The Wii might not have as many quality games as the HD twins, but its quality cap is a heck of a lot higher IMO.

In terms of game design nothing tops

-New Super Mario Bros. Wii

-Donkey Kong Country Returns

-Batman Arkham Asylum

-Punch-Out!!

-Sin and Punishment Star Successor

this gen and I haven't experienced a game with more creativity and imagination than Super Mario Galaxy 2 perhaps ever.

Nintendo games are always awesome, I just wish the 3rd parties could match them!!! If I could have games like Mass Effect, Bioshock, Ass Creed, Skyrim, Arkham, Tropico, etc, next to Mario Metroid Zelda, it would be the ideal console.

My hopes and dreams for Wii U. I'd like a Nintendo console that atleast offers the multiplats others get, is that really too much to ask? Then I could just own one system for one gen. Screw fanboy wars, it'd be the greatest consoles ever IMO.

Nope, that isn't the point at all. People play MH for its addictive qualities and sense of accomplishment. How is 4 per city preventing you from showing off anyway? And does anyone really care?

[QUOTE="soulitane"][QUOTE="silversix_"]Well i missed Cooking Mama but its not my type of games. As i said i like shooters (online and off) and RPG's wii has neither and no online so this is a console cannot consider buying even if it was 49.99.silversix_

The Wii has online....

It does? Damn. Any 24players+ games? I love big scale shooters, wonder if Wii has any. Don't think so. Even MHTri is limited to 4 players per town... pathetic. And to the dude above who asked if i tried GoldenEye and The Conduit 2. I tried golden eye over 10 years ago and played the helllllllllllll of it plus its comming in HD so why would i care about the wii version in 480p? Nothing needs to be said about The Conduit 2 :lol: this shooter is a perfect exemple that wii has completely different standards. If this thing was released on ps360/pc it would've been forgotten before its release day but since on wii shooters are non existent lots of people bring this crappy games a an exemple of quality lmao.

Your standards are ridiculous, it got a 7.5, that is in no way a bad score.

[QUOTE="speedfreak48t5p"][QUOTE="Zophar87"] Prove me wrong.tomarlyn

Red Dead Redemption, Super Meat Boy, Geometry Wars 1 and 2, Pac Man Championship edition Dx, Orange Box, Gears of War 1 and 2, Killzone 2 and 3, Uncharted 1 and 2, Modnation Racers, Halo Reach, Grid, Dirt 1,2,3, Burnout Paradise, Forza 2 and 3, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Dead Rising 1 and 2 plus DLC, GTA 4 and expansions, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Crackdown, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Metro 2033, Just Cause 2. I'll just stop now I think.

And I'll pick it up with Mass Effect 1 & 2, Oblivion, LA Noire, Heavy Rain, Demons Souls, Resistance 1 & 2, Fallout 3 & 4, Mirror's Edge, Bioshock 1 & 2, Bad Company 2, Batman AA and Vanquish.

The top shelf quality in mass numbers provided by the PS3/360 is like a mountain to the Wii's molehill.

Wow, it just dawned on me how different my gaming tastes have become. I can count the games I like from both of those lists on one hand.

From my own experience, I have had the most fun with the Wii then I have had with my other two systems. Sure the 360 gets some great games but I prefer my library of Wii games to those.

It got 7.5 but a 7.5 for wii standards. Would've been a nice 5.5 on twins if it was even released.

Yeah, the second that machine was released all this crap about "Oh we don't like those games anyway!" would disappear. Happened with COD on the Wii, loads of sheep were all mocking about COD4 saying they didn't want or need shooters, then they go mad for bad COD ports and the friggin' Conduit. That's just sad, we should all be wanting the ultimate console experience and not making excuses :D

It lacks in current releases but overall has a good amount of quality games, so yes. My current generation library by volume is like this: DS>PS3=Wii>360.

I'm scared it might not happen however, seeing as that idea is too good and might break the universe.

But the market has really changed since then. Multiplats didn't come to be the best games until just recently. Look forward to it happening. Maybe Wii U will do it, I mean it launches 2012 and that's when the world is supposed to end.:lol:
