The nintendo Wii

Some of you are acting like 10 year old boys

keep in mind that Skyfire is closer to 10 than he is to 20, Yufster...

What's unbelievable? It's a discussion about game consoles. On the internet. Props to those keeping the SNES vs Genesis arguments alive in 06 though... true fanboy soldiers! C64 Ã, > Speccy, btw.

I want a Wii so bad, but mostly so I can hack it and make games for it... the input device is a dream for me - should be for anyone interested in game design. I'm having fun messing about making games on my DS but this would be another level entirely.

I think most people are seeing "next gen" as a graphics only concept. I dont think thats what the wii is for. The wii is next gen in a way teh ps3 and xbox360 will never be, just as the DS is more next gen than the psp. They both take gaming in a new direction as opposed to the same old wow factor that 360 and ps rely on. If I buy a new console, it will be the wii.

[voh]

I'm an oldgame gamer because I prefer gameplay over graphics. Sometimes it seems the developers have forgotten that gameplay sells the games, not graphics.

[LimpingFish]

I will happily walk into GAME and say "One Wii, please" with nary a smirk on my fat face.

Not on day 1, week one or month one , though. Maybe six months down the line. The Gamecube version of Twilight Princess will suit me fine, and tide me over until the range of Wii games goes beyond the launch line-up.

360 doesn't interest me, as my XBOX has been gathering dust since a week or two after I bought it. I'm not even going to bother with the PS3 until 12-18 months into its lifespan. Plus I still have a mound of PS2 games yet to be played.

Consoles are just a means to an end, really. I don't give a shite which logo is on them, as long as they have games that I want to play.

I feel the same way. If nintendo actually releases a game on the Wii that I like, I'll have no problem buying it. The reason why I'm shifting toward the PS2 is because nintendo has become noticablely lazier on making their games.

Someone here needs a lesson in mathematics.

Well, skyfire1, your signature alone reduces your age by 10 years. At least 2 more for the BS you post all the time, and suddenly, Helm's right. (And I still find it hard to believe that you're 26.)

Zooty: Well said, and absolutely seconded.

As a hardcore SNES-fan back in the day (and still), I was one of the first to buy an N64. I sold it before another year had passed and I didn't even play a single GameCube game, so I'm by no means a Nintendo-fanboy. But I'm really looking forward to the Wii, because (innovation+gameplay) > graphics. Simple.

There are many simple minds out there, so eye candy still does sell. (And btw that's the main reason the adventure genre went down the drain, IMO.)
So using Wii's "bad" graphics as an argument against it doesn't tell as anything about the Wii but a lot about you.

Explain?

[Sam.]

why did you change your age? Idiot.

[ManicMatt]

Zooty, either you have a brilliant memory, or you went fishing through Skyfire's history of posting in sheer determination like some scary stalker type person. Which is it?

But I agree Skyfire is unwise for pretending he is 26.

Will you be giving me the lesson? Please do. Please help me with my math, Skyfire. I am in need of a tutor, will you do me this favour?

[Steel Drummer]

I doubt he'd be able to. He's only 15.

[Helm]

Anyway, let's not drag this to an age debate. Maybe Skyfire would like to elaborate on how Nintento has gotten lazy instead. That seems more interesting.

I said I was 15 to make myself look less stupid at the fact that my younger brother was holding my computer captive. That was back when I lived with my parents. Why else would you think my parents would call the police on me? Idiot.

[Las Naranjas]

ergo, Nintendo has gotten lazy.

[skyfire2]

ergo, Nintendo has always been lazy.

Fixed.

[Sylpher]

Yeah, plenty of 26 year olds I know have links to childrens costumes on their web page and pretend to be 15 on the internet and parents threaten to call the cops on them.



Freak.

Childrens costumes? What the hell are you talking about?

[Sylpher]

Oh, I think you know!


And are you going to back up your statement on Nintendo always being lazy or should we just trust in you?

I was getting to that. Every time a new system comes out Nintendo takes the same games from the previous system, adds a few more special fx, and releases it again. They did it with almost every game on the gamecube and they'll probably do it again on the Wii. This doesn't always apply for third party games though so the Wii's only hope for survival is that third party companys don't get lazy as well.
