Nintendo Wii: The system of ports, rehashes and a gimmick controller

Looking at future titles, it is clear that the Wii cannot compete with the 360 and PS3 in the long run. How many times can Nintendo milk their franchises? How can Nintendo keep low on the power front and expect the remote to make up for these defects? How can Nintendo expect to compete with Xbox Live when MP3 features no online at all? Speaking of the ports, most gamers owned a PS2 so many of those PS2 games being ported to the Wii look old and tired as they have already been played. Sure, we can speak of sales but a year from now, I believe those sales will dwindle. In a sense, graphics do matter for they greatly enhance the atmosphere of a game. I see Nintendo relying on the "gameplay only" way too much when gamers - especially those who have stuck with Nintendo - could have the best of both worlds. If the Wiimote is innovation, then I'm a fat man with a white beard who will arrive through your chimney on Christmas. I'm starting to think that the Wii makes the Gamecube look like the console of a lifetime. What Nintendo fans are getting is the same old thing over and over again: Rehashed franchises and lackluster online gaming.

That and a titanic load of Mario titles.

The innovation is all in that controller.

Just not in any of the games.

That and a titanic load of Mario titles."

Ok correct me if im wrong but isnt Nintendo just getting into online. So how is it that Nintendo fans get the same lackluster online gaming when there just getting into it. W/E i disagree with all Wii haters.

Hopefully by the next console they'll have it down. Or perhaps the one after the next.

Another typical response from sheep.

Whenever someone criticizes the Wii is is either:

A) Damage control

B) A blog

C) A fanboy of another system

D) All of the above

There is a difference between porting games from one current-gen system to another and porting last-gen games to the Wii.

Point failed.

No difference whatsoever, my friend. A port's a port. And for the PS3 it's even worse, considering the fact that it's 360 ports are the best the system offers.

There is a common, solid opinion about the Wii so no originality should be found. If 100 people said they don't like pizza, where is originality to be had? They simply don't like it.

And I agree with the TC, to an extent. I own a Wii and I find the thing to be utterly useless. Then again, I'm a little anti-current gen right now anyway.

Of course there is a difference, don't be absurd.

If I own a PS3 and I get a game ported from the 360, I'm playing a new, current-gen game.

If I get Scarface for the Wii, I'm getting a hand-me-down from last gen. It feels cheap and shows how the Wii keeps digging in the well.

Yeah that's games ported from a console from the same generation that the PS3 is in. Where as the Wii is porting games that are 1-2 years old from the last gen.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a remake of an Xbox game, not only has it had an impressive graphical facelift but PS3 owners who have never owned an Xbox can enjoy this great game instead of investing on another console.

PS3 The system of 360 ports,remakes and a even gimmickery controller

360 the system of FPSs,Racers and nothing else

See I can make ridiculous statements too doesn't mean I'm right.

Okay if thats what you feel stop complaining and don't get one...problem solved...Linkthedueler

sorry but this is system wars you cant tell someone to stop complaining thats whats this forum is about complaining. like what if everytime someone started to beat on the 360 or ps3 someone said if you dont like it dont buy it. then this forum shouldn't exist.:P

Leave it to sheep to constantly turn a Wii debate into an anti-PS3/360 rant. Avoiding the Wii's defects doesn't make them better.

Same with the other two.

I agree, Wii is just a gimmick in general. People will realize how much it sucks and get a real next gen system eventually...Trading_Zoner

But no next-gen system are out yet.:?

how is wii not next gen? Im wrote this using itwii4me

So what? I'm typing this on a cpu that was made 5 years before the Wii.

Oh, I'm not disputing the Wii is next-gen. I just think you used a bad point.

And yes, I can do that with my cpu..........with my copy of Photoshop.
