Wii Rules Give great reasons!!!

I think that the Wii is the best console in the world and i want YOUto give the big reasons why it is.

I think that it is the fact that you can play old Nintendo games and the Shigeru games like Zelda and Mario kick ass.

No new IP's :?

1) I can play Manhunt 2 and actually feel like a strangler!

2) It's my new favorite toy (which I only play about twice a year since 90% of the games are **** )!

Technologically inferior to the PS3 and Xbox 360 by such a large margine as to make most of it's offerings laughable in comparison.

A lackluster online service.

A ridiculously gimmicky control setup.

No one outside of Nintendo can really make anything worth while on it. Which means most of todays big names focus thier attention else where. While that might change in the coming months do to the Wii's popularity with certain demographics ultimately developers will only look at it as an afterthought given the limited development potential.

Mario, Zelda and Metriod while awesome aren't going to be able to keep up (turns out there are only so many things you can do with a plumber).

And... oh wait, we are looking for reasons the Wii is great. hmm

Great 3rd party support

Multimedia is the best

Great Graphics

Friend Codes

whats not to love about this system

Thread Prediction:

1. 1st Party games obliterates MOST games on 360, PC& PS3
2. The Wiimote litererally gives me a good work out
3. 3rd party support are original and unique and most will get SERIOUSLY better for the hardcore crowd.
4. There's already a good variety of 3rd party support that will never ever ever get old and are extremely fun, more fun than what' on 360, PC, or PS3
5. Simple, ease of use Online Interface and FREE
6. The Wiimote will undoubtedly be THE STANDARD as a controlling interface for future consoles.
7. The Wiimote has PROVEN itself as the most accurate input device on the planet, proving itself in ALL GENRES.
8. The Wii hardware has proven to be the cheapest, MOST efficient, yet most affordable hardware to develope for. Games like Cruisin, MoH Vanguard, Soul Calibur legends, GT Pro Racer are proof what the Wii is SERIOUSLY capable of.
9. Wii is 10-15x more powerful than the Xbox, PS2and GC. Cruisin' is proof of that.
10. Wii is simply the BEST HARDCORE gaming maching on the planet. Hence the astronomical sales and the Top Quality games, both 1st party and 3rd party.

You joke....right?

The wii rules because its has the variety of the ps3 and dosent explode like the 360 :wink:

I can tell you why I like it: (Please note these are all just my opinion)

Virtual console has more classic titles that I like than XBLA (although I give it kudos for Psychonauts and the upcoming SFII remake).

I would much rather play Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, andmost other Nintendo franchises... than games like Bioshock, The Orange Box, Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Resistance. Overall, I prefer games that are more fun and artistic than they are "hardcore" and competitive. I also don't like the "soldier guy who shoots aliens" theme all the time--I like Halo and COD, but that's enough shooters for me.

I grew up on Nintendo and support them as long as they keep making great first-party games.

The wii rules because it has great games AND it doesn't fall apart.goblaa

Brawl.

That's why.

Technologically inferior to the PS3 and Xbox 360 by such a large margine as to make most of it's offerings laughable in comparison.

A lackluster online service.

A ridiculously gimmicky control setup.

No one outside of Nintendo can really make anything worth while on it. Which means most of todays big names focus thier attention else where. While that might change in the coming months do to the Wii's popularity with certain demographics ultimately developers will only look at it as an afterthought given the limited development potential.

Mario, Zelda and Metriod while awesome aren't going to be able to keep up (turns out there are only so many things you can do with a plumber).

And... oh wait, we are looking for reasons the Wii is great. hmm

donny666

Almost all of that is opinion.... Don't pass your opinion off as fact.

Well, what makes the Wii great is 1st party titles which are pretty nice. What's bad is the developers aren't even trying to make games of quality that can even compare to last generation. Obviously they could do better. Shame shame.

Actually the only things that are really opinion are;

Gimmicky controls, we won't really know for sure until someone has a chance to either copy or not go with the same scheme.

Old deflated IPs. Again, at this point just opinion but honestly you can only go so many places with an IP and Nintendo is pretty slow to adopt new talent.

Everything else you can look at and see as fact.

I see your point, but I wouldn't call Nintendo's IP's "deflated" considering that the latest Mario (SMG, NSMB), Zelda (TP, PH), and Metroid (MP3) games have been on average AAA games.

Isn't crysis playable on the 360/ps3.

umm......

I don't get this post. Are you trying to be sarcastic? Cause if you are then you're failing pretty spectacularly. The gap between the best of what consoles have to offer (Uncharted/Gears of War/Call of Duty 4/Mass Effect) and Crysis is in every way smaller than lets say the gap between SMG and oh I don't know, anything short of Hour of Victory. Though you have to admit that game should have never seen the light of game stores.

Yeah, only having the second highest rated game of all time, the greatest game of all time (downloadable), free online service, positive third party future (monster hunter 3 and fatal frame 4 anyone?) intuitive controls which are ideal for FPS.

Whats the problem with the Wii again?

Oh yeah, fanboys.

Listen if you think the Wii is going to ruin gaming coz of the minigames.

If you think its too kiddy. (Manhunt 2, No More Heroes, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Fatal Frame 4)

Too simplistic. (Battalion Wars 2, Bully: Scholarship Edition, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Paper Mario, Zack & Wiki)

Or if you think it has bad online coz of friend codes (Mario Strikers Charged, Medal of Honor Heroes, NBA Live 08, Madden 08, Fifa 08, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Guitar Hero 3 all games either have optional use of Friend codes or none at all)

If you think it has bad graphics (since when did raw horsepower decide whether a game is good, starcraft is still almost as popular as Gears of War so if not more)

Best First Party Games (Super Smash Bros Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Disaster Day of Crisis, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Or that it'll never have hardcore RPGs (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Beares, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: the young king and the promised land, Final Fantasy Chocobo RPG, Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Terror, Tales of Symphonia 2, Okami, Super Paper Mario, Barqoue)

Not enough good sims games (Sims 2 Pets, Spore, Animal Crossing Wii, Endless Ocean, MySims, Harvest Moon)

or a good downloadable game service (Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sin & Punishment, Star Fox 64, Dr. Mario, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land)

if you think all of that sucks

stop gaming

you're wasting developers time.

you must be a "casual" if those titles don't seem approachable to you.

there is no real legitimate reason to dislike the games on any of the current gen consoles for any reason other than the fact that you don't have one in your room.

No im not failing, you are.

You try to compare an artistic to a realistic game, you might as well compare windwaker to crysis.

You are calling the wii inferior when you yourself are inferior.

If you cant see the hypocrisy then may god help you.

Omg, by calling you inferior im stating you are the 360/ps3. Thereby making you inferior to pc's, if they weren't we'd see crysis and farcry on the 360, right?

You sir boggle the mind.

The 360, a two year old system, can in fact not run a game that was made using the latest and greatest hardware. Not because the 360 was made so that you could save your allowance for a few months and get one with your birthday money (ala the Wii) but because hardware advances at a fairly rapid rate. See where I am going with this?

Everyone else has one so there must be gold in there somewhere.

Rollingstones7

Now this is a good post. So good that no one has even tried to argue with him directly.

Oh oh let me try!

I... jeez this is gonna be tricky. To start, after that fist bit at the top it all becomes opinion but lets see if it can't be worked with anyway.

The minigame comment:

Other consoles' developers are producingentire cohesivegames, the Wii mean while is getting "Wario Ware" and Wii Sports. I for one am not even going to label these media devices "games" how ever more of a "cell phone software collection" or "what you might play in one of those old $10 hand held things you bought in the toy section at Walmart in the early 90s.

The kiddy comment:

Actually those games you listed are in fact the "kiddy" versions of comparable titles found else were. Manhunt 2/Condemned, No More Heros/NGS-NG2-DMC4, Medal of Honor/Call of Duty 4, Fatal Frame/Um... Actually I am just going to reuse Condemned here to, deal with it

The simplistic comment:

I don't actually have to work to hard for this one as you just listed a bunch of mechanically watered down titles.

The online comment:

I admit I don't actually have a Wii, so all I can go on is a lot of he said she said but most of what they said isn't very good so far as the Wii's online service goes. Though I am sure if I googled it I could put something convincing up.

The graphics comment:

It in fact does have bad graphics. You can't say anything for this, Nintendo cheaped on the hardware and in a year or two it will just be that much more glaring. It isn't all about graphics but performance as well. It just doens't stack up.

The 1st party comment:

Yup Nintendo does have great 1st party development (no one is arguing that). It's to bad about the 3rd party support though...

The Hardcore RPG comment:

Anything with the word "chocobo" in the title is not a hardcore RPG, I am truely sorry to be the one to break this to you. And while the Wii does in fact have some cool RPGs they can't compare in scope to any of the other consoles' offerings.

The sims comment:

Sheesh, I think the Wii is in fact the only console to have "sims" games and I for one do not envy it.

The DLC commnet:

It... well yes you have DLC grats, so does everyone else. The 360 by the way lets you DL games from a variety of consoles, not just games from the Xbox.

I find most of those games are in fact not approachable to me at least. I wouldn't be caught dead playing 80% of the Wii's library. Not because they are simplistically designed or have bright colors (most of that is actually in the 20% I would play) but because most of it is just not that interesting to someone with an attention span that out paces one of those "mini-games".

The 360's hardware "inferiorities" are directly related to the fact that things become outdated, it happens and is in fact inevitable. The Wii (released after the 360 mind you) is inferior by design.

once again IT IS NOT THE PC"S FAULT CONSOLES ARE NOT UPGRADEABLE!!!

I never blamed the PC for the fact that you can't upgrade consoles. I merely pointed out the fact that 360s and PS3s are performance wise behind PCs due to an inevitability, the fact that hardware gets updated yearly. Were as the Wii is behind 360s and PS3s by design.

I really for the life of me can't figure out how to say that any clearer.

Technologically inferior to the PS3 and Xbox 360 by such a large margine as to make most of it's offerings laughable in comparison.

A lackluster online service.

A ridiculously gimmicky control setup.

No one outside of Nintendo can really make anything worth while on it. Which means most of todays big names focus thier attention else where. While that might change in the coming months do to the Wii's popularity with certain demographics ultimately developers will only look at it as an afterthought given the limited development potential.

Mario, Zelda and Metriod while awesome aren't going to be able to keep up (turns out there are only so many things you can do with a plumber).

And... oh wait, we are looking for reasons the Wii is great. hmm

Whats funny is you talk about power.

Isn't crysis playable on the 360/ps3.

umm......

Agreed. I'm a PC gamer and i just laugh at stupid 360/ps3 fanboys bashing graphics on the wii when their consoles are inferior compared to high end PCs. Besides, RTSs, FPSs and WRPGs belong to PCs. I love the wii because it's very unique and innovative. I've been a PC only gamer for 10 years and only the wii console appealed to me this gen. The only games i want from other platforms are MGS4 and FF XIII and nothing else. Multiplatforms such as CoD4 is better on PC. Can the traditional controller really be compared to the mouse/keyboard? i think not. the wii mote provided me the best console controls for FPSs with MP3.

I never blamed the PC for the fact that you can't upgrade consoles. I merely pointed out the fact that 360s and PS3s are performance wise behind PCs due to an inevitability, the fact that hardware gets updated yearly. Were as the Wii is behind 360s and PS3s by design.

Ack jeez, are you kidding me?!

I am in no way trying to act superior when I state the fact that the PS3 and 360 out perform the Wii, it is just the way it is. I personally see Nintendo's choice to make a cheaper more available console as opposed to a more "beefy" expensive model to be a mistake. Why? Because it limits development potential. It isn't a game machine anymore. It is a Nintendo machine. I for one am not down.
