Nintento Wii[views:6658][posts:72]_________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:14pm - SteveOTB ""] I can tell you this system is going to fail right away. I mean c'mon who wants to play videogames like this? http://wii.nintendo.com/controllers.html |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 3:23pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] It will not fail. People said the same thing about the DS because it was different. You don't HAVE to play the games like that, it supports normal controllers as well as the wiimote. Not to mention: 1. They will be making a profit immediately off the hardware (generally XBOX and Sony lose money on each console and make up for it in game sales). 2. The $250 price tag will likely murder the 360 and PS3 ($400 and $600). 3. They are shipping millions by years' ends. PS3 is only shipping a few hundred thousands. 4. Supposedly up to 25 launch titles (some on the virtual arcade, some on the console itself). |

I mean c'mon who wants to play videogames like this? http://wii.nintendo.com/controllers.html people that aren't disgustingly fat and lazy? i'll tell you right now, it looks fun as hell and there are plenty of people who are excited about fresh gaming experiences. not every gamer sits around eating fritos, waiting for final fantasy 35 and gta 17 to come out so they can play alone, for days, in a dimly lit room filled with anime action figures. |

I was under the impression that you have to play the video games with a remote control. |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 5:49pm - Dertoxia-nli ""] im just excited about the motion sensing abilities of the controller. I can remember playing games like sonic and shit on my old GameGear and throwing my arms and legs around as if it would help me. |

| _________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 1:39am - espltd ""] this system owns....fuck the ps3 and its defective hard drive. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 6:54am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Everyone I know who has a PS3 hard drive is fine. Totally different types of systems. No reason to compare them. But I forgot, videogame fanbois are asshats so they are required to own one system and whine about the others. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 7:25am - the_reverend ""] carina's been trying to get a Wii for a couple days now. anyone know where she can pick one up? |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 7:27am - the_reverend ""] I have a feeling that gamecube games are going to be snapped up like crazy. I for one am getting the gc's zelda! |
| ________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 9:03am - xmikex ""] My roomate got his Wii the other day. We've already had one instance of someone getting way too into it and crashing into a window. Seriously though, it's fun as hell. Only time will tell if people really do want to play video games this way, or if it's just a novelty, but this could very well be the beginning of something huge. |
