They got it right about the Wii.......

They got it right about all three systems. Funny stuff.

I don't find it funny at all. True, but I fail to see the humor in it. Although I did find it embarrassing to say I was a Wii owner, the guy talked too fast for me but it's true that there are like 4 games out that i know of, and I own 2 of them, 3 of 5 if you count Wii Sports.


What I know off..


Zelda
Spiderman
Metroid
Wii Sports
Mario Party

Good advice for Duke Jr. Thanks Vito.

Duke, that thing was invented to make gamers out of the younger players.

Its like Nintendo's equivalent to dealing crack. They get you very young and your hooked.
As gamers get older their habits continue to grow and get more expensive ( how much did you just pay for your up-grade ? ) so you see its a gaming conspirancy.....

OMG, its happening as we speak BEWARE !!

Buts its all worth it because my youngest Madison made one of the cute wii players that actually look like her !!!

"The Wii is... Horrible. To sum it up effectively, it's anti-complexity, and pro-simplicity. Its entire marketting ploy is to appeal to 'everyone'. It's kind of the console variant of Mario Kart or Smash Bros. It wants anyone to be able to pick it up and, within a minute, be able to play it easily. It then wants anyone who's been playing for 10 minutesto be able to beat anyone who's been playing for any amount of time. Skill? No, that's a way of the past; the future is skill being irrelevant because people want to win.

Perhaps in that regard it's popular for the same reason as WoW. People don't want to spend all this effort getting good at a game; they want to be able to pick it up and win. In that way, the Wii appealed to a big chunk of the gaming market; those that just, pure and simple, want to win. This is not me.

The other people are those that are desperate to escape not only the graphics rush, but also the gameplay rush. Apparently all games play the same (As opposed to the Wii, which TOTALLY isn't a library of 30 games, wherein each of which 60-70% of the game's function is achieved by waving the control left to right). You know, now that they mention it, they're SO right. Halo and God of War played COMPLETELY the same. F-Zero may as well've been called Final Fantasy XIV. Yup.

Just to point out, the above was sarcasm. I dunno if Wii fans understand what irony is, since apparently they don't see the humour in calling Nintendo, the company responsible for Zelda, innovative.

So, apparently waving your arm back and forth is innovative and fresh. Well, yeah, it is, but it's also stupid. "I'm too tired of clothes all looking the same, I'm going to wear a garbage bag because it's innovative." It's a mis-use of the word. While DIFFERENT, it is not a step FORWARD, and is thus not innovative.
Obviously, without the remote, you have two choices; the weird-ass, tiny, pathetic control shipped for the Wii, or using an old Gamecube control, which is just as horrible and uncomfortable. The fact that the entire right side of the control REVOLVES around the A button is testament to how simplistic Nintendo like their games. Not only that but they wear easily, the analogue stick is horrible, there's a lack of accessible buttons compared to the PS3 and X360... You can't dignify the Wii with the Gamecube control because it's not even that much better.

Okay, that's an exaggeration, but it's still uncomfortable as hell."

There's more stuff but I don't want to post it and offend anyone... well it might be fun but I won't

[nickleal98]

LMAO that was great

[TheSilentAssassin]

Funny

[Thrashdragon]

As an owner of two of those three consoles...

He completely nailed what's wrong with all of them. That was hysterical.

Rubix, have you even played the Wii? Try it before you bash it.

Duke, not only would Duke Jr. like it, but YOU'LL like it too. That's part of the beauty of the thing. Wii Sports may look like it's simplistic, and since it comes with the system it's often overlooked, but it's one of the best games ever made because of what the wii-mote adds to it.

Seriously. I played it for less than 2 hours, I dont like it, but it has nothing to do with the rambling you posted. That is just some anti nintendo bashing, and it can rot in a dank pit of hell.

Yes I have, a few times. I hate it.

[GeneralSnake]

The Zelda series is innovative. No one can replicate it, especially not with the success of any of the zelda games. I dont see any Geomon games for Wii, or even the GC for that matter, because Zelda is damn near the only one of its genre. And the new mario game, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Rubixcube]

Well I do actually love Zelda. Just not the Wii
