Wii blows away other 2 Next Gen consoles!

[QUOTE="DarkMasterX13"]

I've owned a Xbox 360 since launch and just bought a Wii yesterday and played Super Mario Galaxy and I already know I'm going to fall in love with the Wii. I just love their concept of "next gen" Wii is all about being unique, and different. The 360 and PS3 are all about pushing graphics and physics... /borrrrring.

The 360 only had I think only a few exlusives that had good story and they were Mass Effect, Lost Odysey and .... maybe fable 2? So yeah... IMO the Wii is for all the REAL gamers out there who favor the Fun Factor>Graphics/Technology. Xbox and PS3 is just for the graphics whores, and FPS fanatics.

he already sold his 360 !!!!

I have yet to see Nintendo make a game that really makes me stand up and say, "You know what? Not only could this only be done on the Wii, but games like this justify my purchase of the system". Nintendo has always been my favorite company (I chose Nintendo over Sega, I chose them over Sony, and even now, I'd choose them over Microsoft), but if the next few years of Wii games don't blow me away, I'll consider my purchase of the system a sad waste of $250. I've enjoyed my Wii, yes, and there are a few games on the system easily worth $50. However, I find very little that makes these games better on the Wii than they would be on the 360/PS3, and this to me is the ultimate failure; I can find plenty of things about 360/PS3 games that the Wii can't match (online, graphics, audio, even content to a certain extent), but so far the only games I'm interested in on the Wii could just as easily have been done on one of the other two systems, and better.

The Wii is justifiably an excellent party system, but I don't buy videogame consoles to entertain my friends (I like to think we can entertain ourselves, and if I'm wrong, a little liquor always helps ;)), but I do buy them to entertain myself, and my PS3 and 360 are doing a much better job at that than my Wii. Nintendo is an awesome company, and they're clearly doing great things for themselves (and in some ways, the industry), but I can't help but feel that the single player aspect that has so long been the staple of most videogames is slowly being phased out in Nintendo's mind. Maybe the Halo generation is to blame for some of it, but the Wii isn't helping. :P

Funny, My Wii is collecting dust.

Use a towel with water.

I know what you mean, Super Mario Galaxy has the BEST STORY OF GAMING EVER! Pssh 360 and games with no story. I totally see your point buddy. rolo107

Funny how everyones making a big deal out of that typo I made... I didn't mean story I meant gameplay. The only games that ever have a decent story are RPG's. Go! Go! MASS EFFECT! =P

Fanboys are typically the most immature users on gamespot.bigmouthkid

Damn straight! They can be so ignorant its pretty sad...

YOu attack the 360, and yet, obviously don't own a PS3. Yet, you label it the same, and praise the Wii on your limited experience.

Ive had a Wii since launch 2006, and its boring imo.

Come back in about 1-2 months later when you are done with Mario, Zelda, Metroid and say how fun Wii is...:?

and that happened with every game in every generation again and again ! is that something new for you ?:roll:

I get tired of every game that is nothing new but from other flatforms than Nintendo i have other games to move on to when i beat a game.

The point is that he has not many games to choos from with Wii.

hmmmm gears, ninja gaiden, mgs4, gta4, orange box, assasins creed, bioshock, resident evil5, call of duty.

basically with that one line i shut your pointless thread down.

having fun with wii fit? hahahahahaha

doesnt devoid from the point that all the really really good games, save a few nintendo titles, that have high production values, deep mature stories, amazing hardcore gameplay, ARE NOT ON THE WII

wiiware is garbage get over it, if you own only a wii you are missing the best games this gen...and the only way to argue that is to **** youreself into believing otherwise. end of story

Wii blows away other 2 Next Gen consoles!DarkMasterX13

when was fable 2 announced for PC? Because lasttime I check PM said he isn't focusing on a PC version and want to start his next game and not wory about a pc version of Fable 2.too_much_eslim

His next game? The one that will change the world and make the cover of science weekly?

Considering fable 2 is a 9 hour action adventure with a talking dog my hopes have not risen high.

I love my Wii but I wouldn't say PS3 and 360 aren't fun. I would own all 3 if it were possible, just for specific games that you can't get on the other console. My Wii is getting more play than my PS3 at the moment but that's mainly because I have some great games to play on it, while I'm waiting for games to come(ie: MGSIV, SC IV, Star Wars TFU) for the PS3.

If the Wii was lacking anything, I'd say it's really lacking in RPG's and I hope that gets remedied soon. I'm starving for them as this gen has not been that great for them so far. I mean, it's sad that the PS2 is still getting great RPG's while the newer consoles are lacking.

I'm glad to hear you're liking your Wii, it's a great system... Better than I thought it would be. Hell, it feels great to have Nintendo back as I feel they've been away for a while.

[QUOTE="Khansoul"]To the TC, give it 2 months and you will not even make eye contact with your Wii.KungfuKitten

Still playing my 360 at least once a day! I will say it's because of LIVE which is simply light years beyond the competition.

Games I play on my Wii - SMG, Wii Bowling & HotD 2& 3 (just for the voice acting). Soon Mario Kart. Nothing else I can think of in the near future.

On the 360 on the other hand - Forza, Halo, Orange Box, Oblivion, Gears, GTA IV, Crackdown, Mass Effect, Geometry Wars, Etc Etc with CoD4, NG2, SC IV & Fable 2 all coming soon

For me the Wii is the 2ndary console and the 360 is my main gaming system by far.

What you say is true, but it's not nice to bash other systems. You are insulting the players who play the other consoles and that is not nice.

And this is system wars, where we are all gentlemen, right?

Yeah I totally agree with you.

Yeah most people think the wii is the best thing ever when they first purchase it and play it.

1 week later: Meh.

Meh the wii is old news, I sold mine when I found out it has stupid gimmick motion controllers

The only good games are mario and zelda and there is like 20 versions of them on the gamecube so why bother with the wii?

i hear that all the time from a couple of friends of mine that own it, which is why i didnt buy the wii

Xbox 360 and PS3's games I think are similar besides a few exclusives each one has right? And Wii sets itself FAR away from those 2 consoles for obvious reasons. The Wii remote, games, and its Virtual Console etc. I don't think the Xbox 360 and PS3 are BAD.

I guess I'm just saying this all because I've grown extremely tired of the Xbox's typical games. And how long it would take for my favorite type genre of games to release, mostly RPG and Action games. (Oblivion...Mass Effect... Lost Odysey. That was all I really liked, NOT that many games if you'd ask me... after THREE years!) Yes Xbox does have alot of these games but alot of them arn't all that great. Plus I've grown up on Nintendo so I guess it's nice playing games like Mario, Donkey Kong, and Metroid again.

And most importantly this is only my opinion. Some of its truth some opinion. So yeah... Flame away!

How is the Wii not similiar to say, the Gamecube or the N64?

Well I played on one at Christmas, was quite underwhelmed...

It was my sister's birthday last week and she got one, and I have to say, I am still completely underwhelmed....
