Redemption: Wiifanboy turned PS3/Xbox360 Convert

I used to love her...Her being the pearly wii nintendo Wii. As of recently I have been unfaithful. I remember spending hours defending the Wii in the systemwars forum under constant threat of TOS violations...I have since grown...

I just do not see why Nintendo is treating its loyal fans like dirt. The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 both cater to the fans every whim and want...why can't nintendo seem to get it right. There is no DLC, no communication ...what so ever, so demoes, no next gen graphics...the list goes on.

You may wonder when my eyes were open to the experiences of the PS3 and Xbox360... I recently purchased my copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl to fight with my favorite Nintendo characters. Snake, Mario, Sonic, all in one game...It was amazing. Then time set in...I had unlocked all of the stages, characters, and even completed the game with every character. My friends had all moved on to rounds of other games and I was left by myself to spend my free time alone. I tried to turn to the Wii Wificonnect to engage in some Brawling over the internet but was frustrated by the sterility of the experience. Super Smash Bros Brawl is a great game, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I feel that it would have been better on another console. If it weren't for Nintendo's lack touch with the "Modern" gamer, this game would have been better and would be more playable after you unlock everything.

Smash isn't the only game that suffers from this. Every Wii game suffers. FriendCodes, no voicechat, no text chat, no Hdd, (SD cards, even SDHD cards are not enough storage...), no media options, no NOTHING. The Wii is basically a console that was made so I can wave my hands around in lackluster games, and feel extremely frustrated for the Developers of great games who couldn't make the game more appealing because of Nintendo's restrictions.

You may wonder what I'm going now. I'm playing the great PS3 and Xbox360 games. Resistance, Halo, Forza, Viva Pinata (lol this one is kinda cool). I'm chatting with my buddies on Xboxlive and I'm looking forward to the launch of home. My buddies still visit my house, and If they want to play a round of SSBB, fine...I'll play...but after it gets put back in its box, awaiting ressurection from the VideoGame purgatory that is NINTENDO....

Yeah, I remember when they announced No online...I said it was because they wanted to add things like Voice Chat and DLC and Leaderboards...then Pokeman came out...and had none of that...then more wifi connect games came out with bland interfaces and no communication ability etc

Lol...Thats a good Idea...I just wish Nintendo thought of it...

Stopped reading at the second paragraph. I almost threw up from reading all that BS.sexy_chimp

You're right, its full of BS. Nintendo has a great online service, no problemo.

...

"Smash Bros would have been better if it was made on another console."

Then it wouldn't have been made by Nintendo. You can't have it both ways.

Ta chido, whatever EC, just dont get a 360 :D

I may vomit.

Some people take stuff way to seriously. On the other hand maybe I should throw my PS2 away since I haven't bought a game for it in over a year and Sonys complete neglagents for catering to my every need is unaceptable. :roll:

I understand! I bough a wii thinking it would be great then i got a PS3 and i havent touched my Wii since November 2007

I might actually sell it and get an Xbox 360 if my parents will finally let me.

I find this really sad, your missing out on A LOT of great games. If someone plays a system for no reason other than they think its cool and trendy to do so than they are just a....better not finish that.

Yah but the PS2 is last gen. Of course Sony doesent give 2 Sh**s about it cause theyre to busy with the PSP and PS3. As for nintendo the Wii is this generation of consoles and it seems nintendo is neglecting its old audience for a Casual family audience.

Also does Nintendo still support the gamboy or GC? No!

Even Xbox 360 doesent have great backwards compatibility "As ive heard" for Xbox games

They neglect them as they get old.

How is Nintendo neglecting their old audience or any audience for that matter? They are releasing one major hit after the other.

-Warioware

-Mario Party 8

-Super Paper Mario

-Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

-Metroid Prime 3

-Super Mario Galaxy

-Super Smash Bros Brawl

Alright i guess i did go overboard on the PS2 thing. But its not Nintendos fault they get games like Carnival Games. I just wish the Wii had more No More Heroes but beacause of its hardware capabilities many hardcore game companys go for PS3 and 360

if it's fom my butt or not it's still my opinion and that's how I feel...I don't like those games

What's really turning some people away from Wii is the SEVERITY of the lack of 3rd Party support.

I'm not surprise at all. My cousin works at a Best Buy here in New York, and almost every Sunday or the beginning of the week, gamers who are looking to buy a console have either bought a 360 or PS3. But for the past 2 months, my cousin said the PS3 has seen a slight increase in sales. Wii is no where to be found, obviously. But the Wii games section is usually empty, as if no one really cares about the 3rd party games. Don't get me wrong people flock and ask if there are any Wiis around, and the Wii games section are flooded.......sometimes, but mostly because of 1st Party Nintendo games.

I used to love her...Her being the pearly wii nintendo Wii. As of recently I have been unfaithful. I remember spending hours defending the Wii in the systemwars forum under constant threat of TOS violations...I have since grown...

I just do not see why Nintendo is treating its loyal fans like dirt. The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 both cater to the fans every whim and want...why can't nintendo seem to get it right. There is no DLC, no communication ...what so ever, so demoes, no next gen graphics...the list goes on.

I'll be following the same path as you, for I am slowly getting tired of my Wii. After I finish RE4 Wii Edition, I really don't have much else to do.

yup. check out EGM for april, there IS a lego halo.

regarding bolded statement: your complaint was that nintendo needs to do something more original, but yet the most anticipated titles ARE sequels, not original ideas.

plus it WAS original when nintendo put mario in sports games at first, so all the new itirations are just sequels, JUST like MGS, GT, GTA... sequels.

but nevertheless, you see it your way, i see it my way.

yep TC, you got it right on the sweet spot. The Wii is a secondary console for 360 and PS3 fans. err but if thats the case, its actually number 1!

basically, you faiil TC.

"Smash Bros would have been better if it was made on another console."

Then it wouldn't have been made by Nintendo. You can't have it both ways.
