Killgood hates everything about everything.
You don't have to swing yours arms at all, a flick of your wrist does the same thing. It's relaxing to use, because your hands don't need to be in front of you, the cord in the middle allows you to use them pretty much at your sides.
It's not that it's the best system. I dislike the choice of games. Basically, the Wii is a Super Smash Brothers Box.

Come on we all know the reason non gamers are attracted to the Wii, it's simple with only a D-pad and two or three buttons. When you compare that to the 12 or so buttons on the 360's controller, yeah.
Now I'd have to say that if Nintendo added more controller ports, or made a cheap multi-tap, then using the GC controller or that Retro Pad (whatever). Like I've said before, unless they use a standard controller, they're going to lose the hardcore gamer crowd.... if they had a big crowd to begin with.
And in all seriousness the GC, I couldn't see as a hardcore gaming system. Look at some of the accessories Nintendo made for it, like the congas. It was a shadow of the N64 as far as adult games having only one notable fighting game or two, and yeah it got Resident Evil but it was towards the last years.
Nintendo would do well to just have a rival like Sega again. One that they can try to measure themselves to. But when Sega fell off, Nintendo no longer had one, they didn't see Sony as a real competitor, and who seriously though Microsoft would stay? Nintendo has gotten lazy and they need someone to point out, "You're a child! And you need to grow up."

Alright, I was wrong there, it happens every now and then, I admit this.teraflop122 wrote:This would be a good point if it wasn't flat out incorrect. The Super Nintendo outclassed the Genesis by a wide margin, which is one reason it lasted so long into the 32 bit era. I've seen the 32x called "the Super Nintendo adapter for your Genesis" on a few occasions.Bubbles wrote:The Genesis was technically superior to the SNES despite coming out first
Though my Master System/NES comparison still stands (I would say it was a better comparison to begin with anyways).
Or if you prefer, compare an Atari 2600 with a CollecoVision or Intellivison, Atari's graphics are noticeably worse but the games (IMO) are better.
I know several people who would adamantly disagree with that statement.Aguiluz wrote:Really? Have you tried a Wii? Are they that bad?Dr. KillGood wrote:Wii = Cool for the first 5 hours, then you get tired of swinging your arms everywhere and just want to push a freaking button.
One of them is a long time gamer who ranks the Wii as his second favorite system of all times (right after SNES).
The Wii is about tied with 360 for my first choice in next gen gameage, the PS3 isn't even in the competition ($600 and no exclusive games I'm even remotely interested in, pass on that one).
I agree with all of this except the last statement.Kurt_ wrote:Killgood hates everything about everything.

What I have played of Super Mario Galaxy is just plain awesome on every level, a lot of fun.
The Wii is doing well with non gamers and gamers alike, and it is outselling the 360 and the PS3, at least for now Nintendo has literally no reason to change what they're doing.

The Wii gets boring after a while. The controls aren't as responsive or accurate as they should be. The games are lacking except for Galaxy (Brawl is meh, just Melee 1.5). It's not worth the $250 you pay at retail. I'd say a decent $150 or $200 tops. That and the fact that they're low in supply is just BS. They're too cheap to open up new factories to meet demands.Bubbles wrote:I know several people who would adamantly disagree with that statement.Aguiluz wrote:Really? Have you tried a Wii?

I loved the Gamecube and the N64. I never owned a PS1 and I didn't get the PS2 or xbox till about 3 years after the GC. I love the GC about 6 times as much as the Wii. Wii=poop in my opinion.

comments like these always made me laugh, now they just annoy me. Gamers are all like "oh, my arm hurts, i've been bowling. This game is crap, they're trying to kill me!" Jeez, people. If you think "bowling" or "tennis" or "boxing" is tiring and evil, try getting off your fat behind and actually bowling with a heavy ball, and not a tiny little remote, or actually boxing, or chasing a ball in tennis. seriously, just blame the sports for being invented.Dr. KillGood wrote:Wii = Cool for the first 5 hours, then you get tired of swinging your arms everywhere and just want to push a freakin button.

I still don't get why "fun" and "advanced technology" are mutually exclusive.
