If I could give you 100 bubbles, I would. I'm so sick of PS3 and 360 fanboys hopping on their high horse about how they're the "true gamers." There's great stuff on every system. I've been gaming since the days of the Atari 2600 and a Gold Mine in every mall, and I can't think of a better time to be a gamer.
There's great stuff on Wii and great stuff coming on Wii. If you think now's a great time to sell off the Wii, then lead the way. Put up or shut up.
Can somebody please, with fanboyism turned off, rationally explain why anyone not employed by Sony or Microsoft would want to see a console/company killed off?
Your Nintendo rage must make you a pleasant, joyful person to be around.
With shipping, they're $6.34 off monoprice.
(Yeah, "3rd party sucks," yada yada yada....I'd normally agree with that, but monoprice stuff is always quality and I've never heard a negative thing said about them.)
I've got an HDtv and it looks just fine, thank you very much.
Everybody always leaves out de Blob on their list of 2008 Wii games. A really fun game and yet another reason "teh Wii haz noes gamezzzzz" is idiotic hyperbole, even concerning 2008 games alone.
@ sidar
The posting of this article is a complete troll. The article is just a link to a web posting that's already in the top 3 stories here at N4G. It offers no new opinions or reasons, its just "here's a guy who thinks we should abandon the Wii....LINK," then the same article already posted.
And if you think all "true, hardcore gamers" should abandon the Wii, then put up, or shut up. Until I see the aftermarket, E-bay prices on Wii free fall...
Every console has had shovelware. Every. Single. One. Are you people so insecure in your humanity that you can't enjoy what the Wii DOES offer because "oh, it has Ninjabread Man on it." Buying Carnival Games is a prerequisite to Wii ownership.
All the Wii haters here are driving me batsh*t insane.
I fail to see what Nintendo had to do with any of this, so please don't turn it into a "see? My console is better. Nintendo is TEH SUX!"
Brawl will sell big but fall off fast? So the reason its still near impossible to find a copy of Melee and when I do it still cost $40 is...?
And why does everybody assume that the overwhelming majority of Wii owners are nothing but Bowling-playing, nursing home residents?
And judging from the 1 disagree you have, there's at least ONE person here who really, truly wants to play as Pacman Jones. Of course, if its true to life, he won't be allowed to have any physical contact in the ring and the only thing you'll be able to do with him is cut a crappy promo.
...this game will be useless without a Rat on a Pole match option.
3 people disagreed with my comment, which means there are at least 3 people who believe that the Wii has no, zero, zilch, zip, zadda ONE good game. So then...
Super Mario Galaxy = crapola
Metroid Prime = stooopid
Zack and Wiki = kiddy stuff
No More Heroes = would be better as a FPS
Hey fanboys! Go to the open forum to do your mindless system bashing. The grown ups want to have an intelligent discussion of gaming.
He said "quality," not "exclusive." I'll depend on Nintendo to provide the 1st party exclusives, I just want the 3rd parties to provide quality software, which is what I was pointing out. I could care less which/how many systems the 3rd parties put it on. Heck, put it on the N-Gage if you think it will make money there.
THAT was the point. If you believe that 3rd parties are only providing crappy shovelware for the Wii, you clearly haven't been into a game...
...that the Wii has no (as in 'ZERO') good games, may I suggest you re-evaluate gaming as one of your hobbies.
No More Heroes
Zack and Wiki
Geometry Wars
Guitar Hero 3
MLB Power Pros
Lego Star Wars
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Later this year: The Force Unleashed with additional content to make up for Wii's lack of horsepower; Ghostbusters with a very cool/unique visual style
Just announced over G4's "The Feed" screen crawler: EA's CEO confirmed that "Rock Band" is coming to the Wii (about time).
Bottom line: I'm...
I thought we couldn't do name calling to consoles in the Gamer Zone?
Reported.
Because by all accounts from those who've actually spent time with it, its fun? If you want to trash something before you try it, may I suggest the Open forum?
...Game Informer, there's an interesting one page article where one of the writers uses Wii Fit for 5 days and measures its effects. To sum it up, he basically says that the "workout" portions offer more fitness substance than the mini-game portions and that while it is possible to work up a sweat, its virtually impossible to keep up a steady heart rate due to the length of each activity and having to navigate through a bunch of menus between each activity.
LOL to all of you saying anything about the hotness of any of those girls. Like any of us (myself included) would kick them out of our beds.
Now, if you're saying you'd have cab fare readily available bedside in order to get her butt out of there because you don't want to see her in the morning, then that's fine.
That wasn't directed at you. That was for all the others in this thread.
For you, I was responding to the "this article is like all the others." This article isn't "like" all the others. Its THE EXACT SAME ARTICLE.
Sorry for the confusion. I'm on your side of this whole "Abandon Wii" thing going around.
