Ok, that's right, but tell me something. You obviously think the Wii is, let's say, medicore. Are you willing to pass that as fact? Or your opinion?

Uou came in here reponding to my post with "it's your opinion" and I said it was also your opinion to disagree with me. Did I say something wrong?

I'll tell you what's fact -- the Wii has games with low production value and last-gen standards.

You didn't answer my question. Are you passing off that the Wii is medicore, fact or opinion?

And no, you didn't say anything wrong. :D

[QUOTE="Setsa"]Personaly, i m not a huge fan of the Wii, it s a mediocre system that s good for playing short bursts, like at a friend's house or something. But as a personal system... not gonna happen unless i have a PS3/360 to accompany it.Setsa

Personal opinion.

I dont consider it for "short bursts" The first time i payed Twilight Princess was for 6 straight hours, MP3 for 4 straight hours and recently i've been playing a lot of Trauma Center.

With Zelda i can see going for long periods of time, and ya, I guess it all does boil down to opinion, but I put Zelda down after 30 min (first try) and if you know me, I m a hardcore zelda fan it s just... TP was a little too different for me to love it like a zelda. That s not saying I won t still play the game when I can...

Are you kidding me? TP was very similar to OoT, that's why I didn't enjoy the game that much.

By the standards set by the PC and 360, the Wii is less than mediocre. It's the PS3 that is mediocre.

I guess when you say "less than medicore", its an abomination to technology right? The Wii has the "games" part of the systemsomewhat covered.

I think we're in the seventh generation of consoles, if Wikipedia is to be trusted. Or are we in the first "new" generation? Guess Nintendo and Wikipedia will have to duke it out over that one!

For me it was mostly controls. The Wii has good controls for some games, mostly those of the whacky type, but I wasn t a big fan of the controls in TP. The story was good, and the graphics were as expected from a Zelda though. As for it s similarities with OoT... I found them to be almost too similar, which isn t necessarily a bad thing, they just coulda perked it in a different field (not perking the controls, but then again, that s just imo, and i m sorta refering to all of TP s "flaws" as the difference between what s in a zelda game, and want I want from a Zelda game).

Nope, it's the game and their low production value/low standards. This is attributable to the console's inferior technology and the casual taste of its fanbase.

Look at the number of Wii games that have AA/AAA. Sure, it's not as much as you would expect, but there are still great titles for the system. But, of course, it's your opinion.

You're making it seem as if reviewers compare Wii games not 360/PS3/PC games. The Wii games are reviewed in a vacum, unless these games are direct ports from the other consoles.

Even if you don't consider that, there are only two AAA games on the Wii. There nothing unusual about that. There are dozens of AAAs on the PS2.

[QUOTE="mistervengeance"]360 is the best CONSOLE this gen as of so far.hello12367890
it sure is

By a mile. Wii doesn't even come close, even with it's big 3 games it's still behind. But Wii ATM is a joke. It wasn't until Metroid 3 that wii got it's first AAA exclusive game.

True. Reviews are reviews. But it's sort of off our topic. :P Sorry about that.

Actually play it somewhere before you buy it. Like a demo at a video game store.

Best is a subjective term. Asking a bunch of people is bad enough, but asking people in a forum filled with rabid fanboys is probably the worst thing you can possibly do.

Yeah. It's been a month or so since I last played my wii. I finished Metroid in couple of days and I play nothing on it anymore unless my friends come over something to play wii sports. After SSBB, there is nothing on wii I want. Maybe I will get Galaxy too, but next year, there is absolutely nothing. I wasted 250 dollars to basically play 6 games.

It all depends on you, so far its the 360.
