...kicking my wii worked.

it's fucking working.

Sorry but A 360 is more value than a wii, because you're buying a system which has more than four or five games which're better than Superman64. With the Wii... Superman64 begins to look as good as Zelda: Oot.

Well yes, if you look at it at face value. But how many people actually buy more than five games for any given console?

If you are the kind of person that needs to play more than 5 games before the console's life cycle ends, then there is something wrong with you.

There, I said it.

this is a fake post.

Where all your arguments fail, is...it's your opinion.

I'm buying the Wii, because I have always loved Nintendo games. I dont care if not many games are coming out soon, because I will have Mario Galaxy, and Brawl to play. PLUS, I'll just download some classic games.

Now, this thread was made for finding a Wii, and I think that i'm pretty close to getting one now. Thank you for your input!

opinions are not magic things that come out of nowhere but are based on facts I know right???????

Glad to hear it's working. Let me know what you think of Zak and Wiki.

I can't play that.  I can play all my gamecube games and stuff now but there's this tiny little scratch on my used copy of Zak and Wiki and I'm beginning to believe that any disc that's even simply flawed cannot be played.

I have played No More Heroes... and it's pretty average.  It's like a poor man's version of God Hand minus the insane boss fights.

But considering the Wii's current library of "Point At Screen While Things Happen" and "Mario's Unlicensed Fantasy Sports Title" I can't complain.

what is up with this revisionist God Hand stuff coming up all of a sudden.

wasn't that game horrible?

Revisionist?  I loved God Hand since it first came out and I haven't seen anyone else (except maybe Bisse) talk about the game on this forum in a long time.

It was the best beat 'em up since Streets of Rage although that's not saying much considering the line up in the past 10 years has consisted of NOTHING.

But yeah it was horrible if you sucked because even on easy the game was unforgiving.

Dude... I was a pretty big Ninty fanboy until I got hold of a wii (well actually gamecube was kinda ghey and then the DS...) but the wii kinda killed any respect I had for Nintendo. As like most people I was somewhat stupid in thinking that Nintendo were for OLD SCHOOL GAMING CHARM. The DS kinda showed that they was more into money and getting the casual gaming market, the Gamecube showed that they cared very little about game quality but the Wii has come along and showed us that Nintendo will release any trash for a quick quid. Wii sports... Wii play... these games could have been put on the virtual console for $0.99. Mario Party is even with other people utterly dull and devoid of any depth required to make a game even remotely interesting. Multi console games are comming out on the wii and are suffering because they seem to require to fullfill the console's gimmicks of making things as akward as possible to play (and for a guy like me who shakes, the wii is entirely user unfriendly).
If you've seen some of the youtube videos flying around by some asian guy(tm), you'd see that the Wii COULD be something great, but until they(nintendo) see that, it's just wasted potential. But they're not going to because they're doing the EA route of putting out drivel because it gets them the most money.
Believe me, this isn't the Nintendo wii think wii know and love. Nintendo have generally stopped caring about the games.

But what do I know, I'm a modern-hardcore gamer (and I hate myself for knowing all about the terminology used to describe gaming markets), and to me the casual gaming market is my worst nightmare, but I'm biased towards companies who turn their backs towards their fanbase (in nintendo's case it's the old-hardcore), in order to get more zenny.
And you could say my arguement fails... but it's based on more than just opinion. I read up on games, game development and game markets (I have no life), so this is one of the few times I can say I know some small amount about what I'm takling about.

I don't have respect for people that can find easily accessible information on their own.

They come out of people's asses.

You make it sound as if opinions are facts. Yes, they are based on facts, but your interpretation of those facts makes it your opinion. Generally speaking, one person's opinion is no more accurate than another's.

In this case however, your opinion may be worth less than another person's, since I'm assuming you don't even have a Wii.

...obviously interpretation does. saying something like WELL IT'S JUST YOUR OPINION is not a magic shield though. of course it's my opinion that I don't want to buy a Wii, and it's some people's opinion that they do. the point is to illustrate the flaws in that interpretation. I never said opinions were fact, I even CLARIFIED that point. opinions are based on facts.

also my opinion isn't worth less because I came to the conclusion I don't want one. seriously, if someone has an opinion against a political leader you can't just say "well you're not even a citizen of that country so no matter how much you know or what arguments you present, you'll never be as good as this Texan who voted for George W Bush godbless"

like, of all those games you listed, aside from many being ports or widely known as just par for the course, let me show you what I mean.

I would say that maybe two or three of those games has even the potential of a non-horrible story line or even a story focus at all. NOW: the way people who don't actually have basis behind their opinion will defend that list is "I DONT CARE ABOUT STORY LINES". the way people who DO have a basis will argue is that the Wii never was created to be a story intensive console to begin with, and at that point you have the divide that is unfortunately for most people unpassable. some people are just like "well I don't care about stories at all lol" and other people do or would rather be on a console that doesn't actively have this image of just being for gameplay only, and you can even extend that to people wanting to see just better videogames as a whole.

of course, expecting a level of discourse where you can actually discuss whether games should or even could evolve into the point of a legitimately well written story is way more than I have learned to expect of GW, so I'd rather post saying something like "Wii has like zero games" and have someone post a list that is mostly worthless or "Mario: Bath Sim" which I think does more to prove my point that Nintendo actively hates well plotted games so if you like flicking shit around for an hour and a half with no investment it's the console for you!
