My biggest wii fear seems to be materialising....

Blimey already 54 posts on a Wii thread and no list of games from 360 owners must be an EG first.....

>"My fear was that with the Wii Nintendo were abandoning "gamers" to cater for the casuals. So far those fears seem to have been realised. "

My other fear too. And looks to be true too.
Let's face it, it's beginning to look like the wii just wasn't aimed at us.

See what you people have done, you've unleashed the full rage of the ultimate wii war monger (smelly).

"Let's face it, it's beginning to look like the wii just wasn't aimed at us."

And fair play to Nintendo, they seem to be doing pretty well with this strategy.

And smelly, put the toys back in the pram.

I guess it depends on the game. Excite Truck's controls are excellent and are as exact as played with a wheel. Plus the light and small form allow very fast turns not possible with a wheel. WarioWare also controls very, very well. Especially the latter is very prone to misinterpretation but it works just fine.

So I don't really think that the Wiimote doesn't work - some developers clearly show that it can be really accurate. It's really down on the games, the Wiimote itself works.

While I would not agree with you I cannot really disagree as well. It's really down to the first party titles released later this year. The Wii is alright although I do have the feeling that the console was maybe released 6 months too early. It would have given the developers more time to finetune the controls and Nintendo would have their own titles ready as well. I also believe that the Wii's release was heavily influenced by the PS3 release.

Compared to the 360 the Wii's first year will look weak but thinking back of other consoles it's not too bad actually. There could be more (better) games but you must not forget that most people don't care if someone rates a game 6/10 or 8/10. Personally I really enjoyed Koroinpa and SSX for example, both rated 6/10. They aren't amongst the best of the best games but they are fun and are definetly good enough not to scare gamers away from the Wii.

So the 360 fanboys come on here, start slagging of a console based on one review score of a review they havent read of a game they havent played on a system they dont own.

You take the piss out of them.

And they get upset at ME?

Oh dear kiddywinks.

You really are a bit featherbrained, aren't you. The only person who is dragging this thread down to teenage fanboy niveau is you. As always.

>"And fair play to Nintendo, they seem to be doing pretty well with this strategy. "

Fair play.
But it would've been nice for them to aim at both.

@ Der Tolle

I agree that the wii isn't the console with the weakest first year (here's looking at you, ps2), and yes maybe the wii was out a bit early (could be said for any of them IMO).
And yeah, I forgot about exite truck as a good example.

I just personally find it odd that unlike the previous ninty consoles, the wii has strong 3rd party support.
Equally it's the 3rd party titles that are somewhat damaging the console's reputation.

LOL @ smelly.

I remember some months ago you claiming you weren't a fanboy, talk about a turnaround.

It's pathetic to see someone respond so childishly over A FRIGGEN GAMES CONSOLE.

WII is a great console for children, although I do not want them cooking on my stuff.

"It's pathetic to see someone respond so childishly over A FRIGGEN GAMES CONSOLE. "

Im responding so childishly not over the console, but over reading the same comments again and again and again from people who dont even own the machine.

Its boring the hell out of me, and sometimes i get narked off.

I s'pose i shouldnt as everyone knwos the 360 will be in last place by the end of the year anyhows.


"and yes maybe the wii was out a bit early"

Totally dont agree. The wii wouldve got a lack of games at the start regardless when it was released. Because dev-cos thought it was going to do a cube.

It wasnt until it started to sell well that dev-cos took notice and started to announce they were making games for the thing. But most games take a year or so to make, thus the shortage at the moment.

Also bear in mind that there's always a drought this time of year on ALL THREE consoles.

smelly is worse than albundy ever was. Only the fact he doesn't post on the forum much ensures he still has an account.

wtf?

Right - lets put this into words that a retarded monkey could understand. So maybe if you concentrate REALLY hard you might understand too. If not, ask a grown up to explain it to you.

If i went into every 360 thread saying "360 is shite, this game is shite, all games on the 360 are shite", etc. Then the people in said forum would be rightfully upset and say I was a nob (rightly so)

But when 360 fanboys (and it is always the 360 fanboys for some reason) go into a wii or a ps3 thread and do the same thing, and I respond by calling them nobs. That somehow makes ME a fanboy?


So let me get this right, the new definition for "fanboy" is someone who doesn't do what all the 360 owners do? As long as all you do is copy 360 owners, then that's okay?


Quite frankly im confused as hell as to whats going on here.

Hang on.. all this hate back at me is coming because i said halo 2 was shite isnt it?

hahaha. Gears of war wasnt great either.

"As long as all you do is copy 360 owners, then that's okay?"

Long live internet democracy...

No, it's because you're a hypocrite.

/passes smelly a new spade

Wow, is it "lets all insult smelly" day or something?

If you want to ignore him, just *ignore* him. What's with all the bile?

And no, "he does it too!" is not a valid response.

I would have been a Wii owner if it wasn't for the Wii fanboys.

"I would have been a Wii owner if it wasn't for the Wii fanboys."

So you don't buy a console because there are other console-owning people who are fanboys?

That's... so unbelievably stupid that I don't know where to start.

@Genji

I am going to buy a Wii and love Nintendo, but all I really wanted to say is that some Wii nuts need to relax.

Sure they do. "Fanboys" of all stripes need to relax. But whatever they do has absolutely no impact upon my own buying choices.

Mine neither, I guess I made an ill-advised post. But if it weren't for the Christian's... ;-)

Its shit like this that really puts me off the wii

I'm sorry, but a game based on cooking? Originality for originality's sake? Fucking pathetic. What's next, a game on picking noses or making beds?

And another thing. Why do Japanese developers feel the need to put a BLOODY COLON: in every other game? This case is DOUBLY ANNOYING as we KNOW it's to do with cooking from the first two words! No need to shove in a colon and a couple of more similar words!!

GAH!!!

/rant over

Erm, thing is.. look back thru my posts. I've said nothing out of order. I've just merely taken the piss out of the 360 fangirls who feel the need to come into every wii/ps3 thread and slag off said console (which they dont own, about games they've never played, based on review scores of a review they havent read).

The only people it seems are getting upset are said 360 fangirls (Who i dont see why they're in this thread in the first place, let alone getting upset at my responses to them).

As I said, if i went into every 360 thread of a game which got a bad score, and said "har har the 360 is shite".. then i'd be rightly shot down.

But are you saying that it's not okay to respond to trolls on forums calling them dicks?

...this is just depressing.
