Wii owners missed out on next gen gaming....

What they recieved was a PS2 engine using redesigned Gamecube featuring a waggle stick, that is what the Wii as in a nutshell.

You know undeniably missing out on engines such as Crygengine 3, Unreal 3, Frostbite, and so on in essence means you mixed out on nex gen engines and gaming as a whole.

The Wii was never a current a gen console it was a last gen one but with a new controller.

Unfortunately Nintendo didn't invest the slightest of any $ to make the graphics even slightly better than the Gamecube.

Show me one game on the Wii that even comes close to the Xbox game, Conker visually without having to resort to cel shading to lower the frames per second hit.

The Wii missed out on current gen trends such as a true online game service that is full of community featues and offers a vast array of stores and services to tinker with.

Wii offers no features that really would've seperated apart from any last console visually, and as a whole.

360/PS3 did enough to justify them being true successors by showing us games that if done on a Wii power equivalent console would be utter crap.

Imagine if Gears of War looked like this..

Todays hits would have been held back.

The no hard drive, no online service to actually be proud, of and everso game deserted Wii was only saved by packaging Wii sports.

The Wii is pretty much what the Gamecube should have been and the Wii U will be what the Wii should have been THIS gen.

Let me tell you what sheep told me 4 years ago: "Released during current gen, hence a current gen system."

i don't think they missed out.

if they cared about that they would have gotten the systems that prioritized that and enjoyed them all for what they did well.

That is all.

I'm a Wii owner that also owns a 360. So I agree that I missed out.

They got to play some of the best and purest games of this generation though, so it evens out.charizard1605

funny how a lot of 360/ps3 gamers say this when most wii owners own one of those two, while they don't own a wii. So uh, whos really missing out here?

And you missed out on all the great Wii exclusives. It's a pretty cheap console, no real reason not to own one unless you despise Nintendo games for whatever reason.

This is a winner

Actually, owning a Wii has brought me some of the best gaming experiences this gen. Nintendo's first party is still the champion of consistantly brilliant level design which is something that is timeless as well as effected little by technology.

i didn't know we were only allowed to own one console now.

I own a Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 and I would argue that irrational Wii haters missed out on tons of amazing, hidden gems because of superficial nonsense.savebattery

Nothing better to do than make yet another Nintendo hate thread eh?

Nintendo has the best first party, and you're insecure about liking Mario and such. We've heard it all before mate.

Carry on then.

That is all.

What do you mean "wii owners miss out on next gen gaming" ? Do you mean Wii-only owners and current gen?

Xenoblade. OP lost the argument. RyviusARC

Not even close

ps3/360 gamers also missed out on 'next gen' gaming then. ;)

Games like Mario Galaxy had awesome graphics. I think much of the graphics problems were the developers.1st party titles seem to be decent.

I think the Wii was a hybid generation. I really do wish the Wii didn't get watered down multiplats.

If you owned a wii by itself, you missed out on alot, biggest thing being online multiplayer.

LOL. If you game for graphics, you have missed out on gaming all together.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"][QUOTE="Zlychop"] 90% of the AAA 3rd party games not on Wii would disagree.Zlychop

I was hinting 'next-gen gaming' as pc, since you focus your argument so much on graphics. And the 'vast array of stores and services to tinker with' are on pc and not ps3/360.

You would miss out on more owning only the wii, than you would only the PS3 or 360

CaveJohnson1

Pretty sure Wii has the most good-ranking exclusives out of both of those platforms.

what a joke, wii owners have hardly anything, this year is a perfect example of this.

CaveJohnson1

Gamespot spreadsheet is a joke? :? Oh nevermind, you just mad.

Well, it had to come eventually so might as well just be me. PC pwns all, you can play everything in the best possible way. And for those 360 fanboys, yes I have a 360 controller but no 360. This because I can and I will enjoy my games in the highest resolution and no loadtimes. And no I am no elitist, just stating the obvious. I own a ps3 which is nice for exclusives (and pretty much only that) but when it comes to consoles Nintendo is the only one doing their own thing, Mario etc. Which rocks. Of course you always have emulators for that, and you can also get wii controllers for PC should you feel like waving your hands around. Only thing I miss is the 360 exclusives and I think I can manage in this life without Allan Wake and Gears of War.

lol, yeah. Nintendo completely shrugged of the Wii at this years E3, says a lot about the future of that console knowing the Wii U is coming late next year.Zlychop

They didn't shrug it off. Wii-U took the main stage along with the 3DS. That's bigger and more important news. There were plenty of games announced/shown at E3, yet the media ignored anything that wasn't Skyward Sword.

>Yet again, TC only appears to agree with others who are also wrong.

Exclusive:

Fortune Street, Mario Party 9, Inazuma Eleven 2012, Fatal Frame 2 (Remake,) The Last Story (EU/AU,) Pandora's Tower (EU/AU,) The Grinder (Needs a publisher,) and Fishing Resort (for teh lulz.)

Multiplat:

Mario and Sonic Olympic Games 2012 (Should've been reviewed by now,) NFS: The Run, PES 2012, WWE '12, Adventures of Tin-Tin, The Amazing Spider-Man, Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: E2, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Men in Black.

I've only looked through Gamespot's list, which doesn't seem to be working half the time. Ignored quite a few titles because they were shovelware or didn't have a release date on GS's page. There's still a lot more to list for multiplats, and I'm still searching for exclusives. Reggie said the Wii isn't done yet and Nintendo still has titles in development for them also.

I'm not going to defend that lineup though. Nintendo released their quality Wii titles this year and now have nothing for the time frame you wanted. Some developers jumped ship to Wii-U already, which has a vastly better lineup more suited to the so called "core" crowd.
