Oh boy. What casual gamer goes onto a website to report on his or

Well for one, Nintendo invited many "normal" people, such as bloggers
who aren't even remotely connected to gaming communities, to try Wii,
and obviously, a lot of the people reporting are gamers who see their
non-gamer friends, family, etc. pick it up.


Oh boy. More Nintendo hired guns.


...
At best, it could look like the finest PS2 games.


Wrong as always. Since GC games look better than PS2 games


No, only the best GC looked better than the average PS2 game.

and Wii is
far more powerful than GC,


Ahhh... Not FAR more powerful, just a little more, but it's still a GC.

Wii games will obviously look a lot better
than PS2 games.


It should look a little better. It had better. As of now it does not even
look as good.


You can't sell a system telling people that, so they just kept
quiet about that. On all of their other systems, the specs were
put out there and were a main selling point.

And now they are not focusing on them because they are not what's
important.


No, because it is shameful to admit that the Wii is Wiik.


Why? Nintendo has said it all along: The focus this time around wasn't
on raw power.


Lol! They have to come up with some type of BS to explain why they don't
have a new system out. They of course don't want the public to know that
it's just a GC.


I mean, it's not as if that controller will last for 5 years worth
of games!


Sure it will. We are only beginning to see the possibilities of the
controller.


Before you know it, the Wii will be discontinued.


And you need to stop trying to make predictions. All your predictions
have been wrong so far.

Exactly. It has sold more *because* it is not new. But Wii is
closing in, and it has only been out for a short period of time!
What a slap in the face of Microsoft :-D


?


That's stupid. You know that my point was that the 360 sold more
and did not make the news with all of the stunts that Sony and
Nintendo pulled, and it still outsold the Wii.


Sorry, but it didn't. Wii owned 360 hard.


Lies don't change facts.


The Wii only sold what it sold from half-assed stunts and because it
was new.


It isn't new anymore, and it's selling like crazy. It's nearly
impossible to find one.


Lol! It is still new, just like the PS3 is still new. The only difference
is that the PS3 is truly new and the Wii is only new in name and external
design.


I do not see any Wii games on the horizon

Uh, there are plenty of Wii games on the horizon. Your employer is
just paying you to pretend that there are no games :-D


Just like your is paying you to lie.


Show me the games.


I know that you are an idiot, but even a complete idiot would know
that more games are coming for Wii.


There are, but I meant mind blowing games, or games that make you want to
beceom interested in what they have to offer. We all know that Nintendo
will do their usual along with re-releasling old games in order to beat this
generation out of their money.

Nonsense. I am not even sure what you are talking about now.

However,

Soccer sucks. It is very boring and low scoring.


Yep football does indeed suck (Not sure why low scoring comes

into the
argument though?) but I'm not sure how you can deny that Madden

hasn't
just been updating the graphics for quite some time now.




****, I never did deny that. In fact, they hardly even update the
graphics,
all they do is update stats and maybe a new team uniform. Madden's
current
graphical style was stolen from NFL 2K. I think it started in 2003.
Before
that, the graphics were lame. After that, they realized that they

could
not
compete and had to use their money to get rid of competition. I

only used
Madden's graphics to show what the Wii could not do.


Nope, once again you miss the point. Madden = same gameplay every time.
The very point you accuse Nintendo on.



I think YOU keep missing yours and my points. Again, I never denied that
Madden has the same gameplay over an over again. After all it is a sports
title. What other gamepley do you expect? I am sure you won't put down
the
Wii's Madden gameplay huh?




Yes but you use that argument as one against Nintendo. 'Same old games'
etc. - remember! So if you like Madden (which you have said you have)
you can't exactly criticise Nintendo for repeating formulas. Every
Zelda, Mario etc. that Nintendo put out they at least add a ton to that
formula unlike Madden which basically just stays the same.

What you seem to fail to understand is that nobody here is claiming that
the Wii is 'better' than the xbox360 we are just sticking up for a great
machine and not at all interested in one-up-man-ship. Only adolescents
feel the need to constantly justify your purchases and shout about them
like their lives depended on it. I've owned pretty much all the major
past consoles and will be picking up and Xbox360 in a couple of months.
And I won't be buying Madden on either machine because American football
is damn boring.

o.uk...

Resident Evil was a graphical masterpiece, but THIS generation,

let's see
which system's RE will the clear winner. It won't be Nintendo's this
time.
In fact, many of Capcom's latest games, the Wii cannot even begin to
render
such graphics. So you will have to hold onto the RE past. Nintendo

has
not
made it so that you will have a great future to brag about graphics. Oh
yeah, I thought that it was not about graphics?

Well I'm glad you admitted that the gamecube had better graphics

than the
ps2. I never said it wasn't about the graphics just not ALL about the
graphics.



?Lol! I never said that it was ALL about graphics. You implied that when
you spoke of the graphics being better than the PS2 on RE4, but when
speaking of the 360 and PS3 having better graphics than the Wii, then
all of
a sudden it's about gameplay, forget about graphics. That Nintendo
handbook
for spamming the internet did not give you the right response for that one
huh? You should stop the lies because you end up tripping over them.





Do you honestly think that anybody here can't see the difference between
the wii and the xbox360? I've never said 'forget about the graphics' (as
the post directly above yours points out) you really are pretty stupid
even for a troll.

If I can put it as simply as possible some(not all) people like to be
challenged when they play a game. Overcoming the challenge is what makes
a good game for a lot of us, it's why people still play chess. Now, no
amount of graphical polish is going to make chess or Tetris a better
game, in fact chess games with fancy graphics look pretty lame.

I know you'd like to think that one system is 'better' because the
graphics are more polished but whilst graphics tend to get old quick,
good gameplay lasts forever - why do you think gaming sites have started
re-reviewing virtual console games?

There are some great games on the xbox360 I'm not denying that, just
stop acting like such a snob.

I wish MS were paying me for all of this. They should.


They *are*, but they are not getting much out of that money.

At least I would be telling the truth.


If by "truth" you mean "bogus opinions that are constantly proven
wrong".

Nintendo seems to pay you people to all out lie if you have to.


"You people" don't have to lie because the facts speak for themselves:
Wii has become a massive success, and i still being sold out all over
the world. You claimed that it would fail.

This is the type of company Nintendo has become. Selling their last
machine in a new package,


Lie.

lying about sales figures,


Prove it.

lying about being innovative


Lie.

and selling nothing but old games.


Lie.

See, three lies and one unounded claim. That's all you've got! :-D

So Nintendo hired all these long time bloggers who have been well

Haha, Microsoft is becoming desperate to hire people like you.

No, because it is shameful to admit that the Wii is Wiik.


Why? Nintendo has said it all along: The focus this time around wasn't

Lol! They have to come up with some type of BS to explain why they don't

No, they have a new strategy which is paying off, and it's kicking
360's ass.

They of course don't want the public to know that it's just a GC.


It isn't just a GC, which you know by now, but you have been taught to

Apparently millions are interested, since Wii has sold out all over

It's CAPITALISM, baby! People want games, so Nintendo releases them.
If no one wanted them, they wouldn't be released.

It did not happen to me.


Because you don't have a Wii! Geez, what kind of crap are you trying
to pull here?

It sold, BECAUSE people got scammed!


If they got scammed, why don't they stop buying it or at least return
it to the store?


You don't know that you got scammed before you buy it.


Then why don't people return their Wiis to the store?

That last line is anti-American. The NFL is one of the most exciting sports
out there! I guess you don't like it because you guys are not a part of it.
