The Wii could have been the best system this gen if...

It wasnt a huge gimmick. The games are great and old school but why does this have to come along with a price? Graphics aint got nothing to do with it and neither does online its just the whole motion thing. I really dont want to see Sony and Microsoft do this too, an addon is fine but hopefully they dont change the system. Who agrees?

Wow... you make a thread per day complaining about Wii and yet you say you are not a fanboy...

The is fine for me, its only lacking in 3rd party support.

I hope no company representatives are reading what you say because I want motion control to become standard for all console next gen or else!

Im sorry, so me praising the wii for its games but disliking the motion control is me being a fanboy :roll: the only reason I made another thread was because people took my thread yesterday the wrong way.

The Wii has done fine. Only gaming obsessed people (aka fanboys) complain too much about it.

About motion controls; get used to it, it seems like it'll be coming to the 360 and PS3 as well, I dont see anything wrong with it

Fair enough. Good luck.

There are plenty of problems with the Wii to go around, we don't need continuous threads bout them. Yes we get it, the on-line is practically non existant and when it is you almost wish it wasn't, with those 1994 styIe IP address stand ins called friend codes crippling every game.

Third party games have been few and far between and this makes it's overall library compared to the PS3/360/PC extreamly weak even when compared to just multiplats. Motion contols have no place in 90% of games, they just stand in for button presses. There are storage problems and it can't play DVDs.

These are pretty much a given, you can enjoy the Wii despite these flaws but as a solitary system it does not measure up at all. We all know this. It's been said and siad and said

The motion controls are okay and you are right, they do feel like it was put in there only because it is a wii. Though it does work in some games.

The motion controls are nice, pity about the wii's graphics. I don't really mind if future consoles use motion sensor, because they will improve if they do.

No, the fact that your name here is PSFanboy101 makes you a fanboy.

Three years of great sales, and the development of games like Wii Sports Resort that provide 1:1 motion control take away the gimmick label. Look at how Sony and Microsoft are trying to incorporate motion control for their systems.

The wii does have it's flaws, like the PS3 and 360. So what? If you don't like the system, don't use it.

And expect to have threads to have a life of their own. That's the best part os SW wars, open discussion that can go anywhere. Deal with it.

The only thing I don't like about the Wii is the forcing of motion controls on you. If they would've just used a standard controller like the classic controller and made the Wiimote an accessory usable on some games, I would've been happier. I might give in though and get a Wii because I want the Metroid games.

appletsauce

If the Wiimote was an accessory the Wii would loose it's hook and would make Nintendo loose the Console War. You wouldn't be happy you would just complain that the Wii sucks comparied to the HD consoles.

I would like the Sony/Microsoft not to copy nintendo.

I like having different things.

If everything was the same i would be bored....

The Wii would've been the best system if it had the power to run Multiplats.nintendog66

There is no point in having all of the consoles play the exact same games.

I don't exactly know what you mean, but I just don't like the Wii. I have played like 10 different games and I can't get into any of them The Wii even made me hate Mario and i used to be a huge Mario fan although the new super Mario bros looks great. I've played No more heroes, Mario Galaxy, The conduit, Brawl, Re4, Lego Batman, Mario Kart(this 1 is good fav wii game), Far Cry, and like 4 others and I hate them all except Mario Kart. It's not even the graphics that bother me. It's the annoying controls.

I think Nintendo has stated that if they had to quit making consoles, they'd stop making games as well. Nintendo is the last integrated hardware and software company there is, and it shows. You're right that the Wii would be much better if third parties didn't simply ignore it, but they need a change in mindset before they can take the Wii seriously and understand how to make great-selling titles for it. Too many developers seem fixated with "vision" and "epic plots" and such instead of "fun".

It needed comparable hardware to the PS3 and 360. Especially considering now its only $50 cheaper than the top-of-the-line models of both. Because without it, third-parties can't easily port their games to the Wii and then have to compete with Nintendo on their own ground... and most of them don't have the resources to go up against games like Super Mario Galaxy.

The waggle gimmick is fine... I just wish there was better third party support. Even the Gamecube didn't fail as badly as the Wii in that realm. At least there was games like BG&E, Eternal Darkness, P.N.03, Resident Evil's out the ass, Viewtiful Joe, Rogue Squadron, Timesplitters, Ikaruga, killer7... etc. And the only games that really come close to their calibre on the Wii, are No More Heroes, Madworld and Muramasa... and they still fall short.

Galaxy GOTY 2007

But I guess if you dislike any of those games you can hardly argue it "sucks" because they are all great games. Oh and BTW try playing Brawl with the Gamecube controller it plays the same way as Melee(controls wise)

Go home and learn what gimmick means, because that "gimmick" is about to become industry standard:lol:

About the bolded text, that is not true. Gamecube had less support than the Wii does now.

I never said it sucks. I just personally think they are bad. i played Brawl with my gc controller. I felt like all the stats felt changed. I played with Star Fox in Melee and Brawl and the same attacks I used in Melee did 0 damage. I seriously felt all the characters in Melee were severely weakend which bothered me like crazy. I loved Melee, but at most i'd give Brawl an 8. Waste of $90.(bought the game plus 2 controllers)

Also I sold galaxy in about 2 weeks.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]About the bolded text, that is not true. Gamecube had less support than the Wii does now.

foxhound_fox

A partially agree. For some games motion control is better with, like sports and games with swords, FPS would be better if the developers would learn how to make good controls, and some games just suck with motion controls, like Mario Galaxy.

I don't like motion controls that much and I truly hope MS and Sony don't make their next consoles based on it. ForsakenWicked

you're going to be one sad person next gen...

The problem is, RE4 was delayed so much that it came out at the end of the generation.

Imo the wiis problem is that its just an n64 if rareware didnt make games for it. Nintendo needs a company like rareware to put out games that are similar, and yet polar opposite to their own. Nintendos support for it, imo is just as good as ever with the amount of games, but they are lacking their yin to their yang.

If it was a gimmick, it would have died in the first year.

But i know what your saying. Nintendo had to spend a lot of time during console development making the WiiMote, so next console gen they will have the graphics down (hopefully) :P

[QUOTE="randomwiiplayer"]

[QUOTE="Willy105"] Mario Galaxy didn't use motion control, since it was a traditional game. The only actual use is in the levels that use a different gameplay mechanic, like the Monkey ball level or the Wave Race level. Shaking is not motion control by the way.Willy105

I'm saying that it should have used the Gamecube or Cla$$ic controller.

According to sales, it is the best system. Get over it.
