Nintendo Wii

More like Wtf, ell oh ell. Seriously. What the fuck is it. Someone explain how this is a video game console and not just stupid.

P.S. No wonder they didn't show the fucking controller last year when Xbox and PS3 debuted.

It's Wii. As in 'We'.

The controler has several control points which send signals to the control box about it's movement in space. Long story short, you wave it around and that's how you control the games. It's pretty awesome.

It's supposed to be pretty goddamn good. I'm surprised. With the exception of Red Steel, some lame ass sword fighting game, all the demos supposedly rocked. The new Metroid plays more like a PC FPS with the sort of "floating mouse" control. That's the first time a console had me excited. Every single controller ever made is designed for platformers and racing games. NOT first person shooters. Nintendo may have solved that with little more than a retooled light gun.

If Nintendo stays on track and sticks to a $200-$300 price (and no bullshit duel cheap version and expensive version release) they can easily come out on top. The 360 is a fucking joke. MS failed to reach half of its potential. Sony is a trainwreck in the making.

I'd rather see everybody fail, but having the underdog come in and show them all up is almost as good.

I gave up on Nintendo long ago. They're pretty much dead to me. Pokemon Red and Blue were their last gasp. I was not a fan of the DS. At all. I'd rather cut myself and post emo livejournal updates than play DS games.

Then don't.

There's already a thread on this, doofus.

The controller reminds me of those bulky 3D helmets from the mid 90's. A vision that never was realized.

Anyway, it's ultimately the games that define the console. Is there any interesting games for the Wiiii other than super mario?

It's own version of Twilight Princess, SSM Brawl. It should also be noted that the 'nunchuck' (the thumbstick attachment) is also motion-sensitive.

Super Mario is Nintendo's holy game. The only thing Nintendo did right.

Nintendo has been doing better ever since that old ass Japanese guy retired but he was hilarous at the same time. He dissed everyone and held big grudges and shit.

WII looks cool and all but there been countless times in the past where i'm like YA NINTENDO ROCKS while I masturbate to my console while everyone else is playing on their playstation or xbox and i'm stuck with like 2 games. THe GC was a slow burning dissapointment for me. I'm just a depressing person I guess.

Oh, New SUper Mario Bros for DS looks coolio.

This is bullshit. I'll never, ever, let Nintendo take my money and give me stupid fucking controllers, ever again. I let my brothers get us a GC, and Jesus Christ, I still hate that fucking piece of shit they call a controller. Anyone ever played Viewtiful Joe? I got arthritis and deformed fingers now. I'm a freak, and it's all because I let Nintendo lure me with promises of naked gay fisting action between the Mario brothers. Well, Super Smash Bros turned out to be completely diffrent than what I envisioned it to be.

This entire wii business is designed for hyperactive seven years old who play the arcades without inserting coins while casually ignoring INSERT COIN flashing on the screen. And so will the fucking games that will come out on it.

Hi TG. How's the military been treating you?

Two reasons for me to buy the Wii.

The price, and the games.
I like the idea of the wireless controller.
How it'll feel or work is beyond me.

I know that I get tired of waving guns around in the time-crisis games, so I suspect that it'll be the same in that regard.

But after I've bought a DS, I've had more fun than when I got the PS2.

Please. All mario franchise is handhell class. Which means you can kill time with it, but to play it? zzz.

Oh, no, I'm not falling for that one again. They lure you with one good game, and then you're fucked for five years.

FEEL THE GRIPPPPP OFFF NINTENDO ON YOUR NUTTTTSSAAAACCCKKKK

Haven't tried that one, actually.

Well I do want a next-gen console of some kind.

Be it PS3 or Wii.

I'll wait until after christmas probably, and hopefully one of my buddies will have one of them before that, so I can try it out.

The DS is good fun.
Metroid ftw.

POOPERSCOOPER · Post by **POOPERSCOOPER** » Tue May 23, 2006 6:54 am

I thought the DS would be mega fun too but then I found out the Wi-FI was complete shit and that the real enjoyment was with local people with a DS. WHich pretty much means I'm by myself unless I want to go to some elementary school

I heard Metroid was a bland shooter too.

Sure it is.
If you compare it with any FPS released for the PC for the last year.

Could use some more puzzle-action though.
