The Next Nintendo Console

[marcipaans]

My most played games on Wii? Just Dance 2, Wii Sports and PES 2011. Either a friend(s) of mine or my little brother come over here very often and we always play one of these games in the end. Those are goddamn hilarious and fun times.

Although I don't really feel like shooters are for Wii. It's just probably my own personal preference. I like to play platformers on Wii or games like Resident Evil Archives/Zero or SH:Shattered Memories. I play these when I am alone. Shooters just feel completely awkward and I can't get used to controls no matter how long I play.

By no means Nintendo is childish and immature. Nintendo just appeals to a much larger audience than 360 and PS3. Want blood and gore? Get Madworld. ****ing awesome game.

To continue. When they released that Wolverine Origins game on all consoles I instantly got mine on Wii. I didn't even know how the 360 or PS3 version looks like. I thought it would be the same with simply better graphics. I was wrong. On Wii the game was portrayed more like a superhero beat-em up type game, no blood, no gore as opposed to other 2 consoles where there were 10x more blood splattering around than a human body contains.
I enjoyed Wii version the most. While having awesome graphics, engine and etc. things is great, all the blood kind of kills the gameplay for me.

Really all the wii lacked was third party support, like the gamecube...
Course, devs are less interested in making games fun, and more interested in making it pretty, or stylish.

I still dislike the current state of console gaming(or gaming in general), flashy graphics are nice and all, but I'm far more likely to buy a game if it's fun and gonna get me my moneys worth. 7 hours of gameplay for $59 really just doesn't sit well with me.

Also, wtf is up with the lack of console based multiplayer?! Sims 3 for example required us to have separate systems in order to play together...
They must have thought my friend would get a PS3, but instead of catering to their greed we just blew the dust off of "Bustin Out" and had a blast.

Hopefully we'll see more titles on this new system.

Yep the Wii failed the same way the GC failed. Not a lot of support! But since they are gonna go the HD route now I think they will get better support from developers who just do HD games.

If Nintendo didn't do handhelds and all the DS games where on the Wii there would be no fight over which console was the best console this gen. JRPGs? The DS had more in its pinky than the PS3 had in its whole body.

Yeah, for sure, I've still got Suikoden, the new Golden Sun, and like, 4 others to finsh lol.

The PS3 did have Disgaea 3 and Folklore though! I loved those ones anyways.

I do hope this new HD Wii gets a Gotcha Force 2 though. Seriously, I fuggin' love that game.

Being known for being more family friendly and being known for making kids' games are two different things. Pixar are a family friendly collective. Kiddy stuff? There's more shit in Toy Story for adults than kids. Especially 3.

Nintendo are not, by any stretch of a logical and sensible mind, a kiddy company. Anyone who insists they are is just...well, wrong. I've given sound reasoning as to why.

The very fact that we're still playing the same Nintendo stuff, as well as new stuff, proves they're getting it right. Aside from a few experimental slip-ups here and there, they've always had the right idea. Proven by the fact that everyone jacks their shit.

For me, the Wii kicked the PS3's butt because all they needed was Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess to outclass almost anything produced by Sony on the PS3, he PS2 or PS1 for that matter. In my opinion.

Anyone maintaining that ridiculous stance is operating from a flawed starting point, as I showed in my reply to Blaze.

It's the way Nintendo has always sold itself as a family and kid friendly system. Most of their titles don't go past the T rating this is where their bread and butter is. Parents can buy their kids a Nintendo system and not worry about M titles as much as they would with the PS or Xbox. Why do you think Nintendo stayed third in the states at least in the last gen of systems not enough variety for older gamers. I like Nintendo and own a DS lite but I know that Nintendo is more of a family/kiddie company and I'm fine with that why are you bothered by it. While they do have mature rated titles it's not very many and there a reason for that those types of games were never their focus.

imo the wii was, by and large,a failed experiment

A failed experiment that made sony and microsoft copy the same idea, right?

LOL you think these companies could come up with their own idea if the Will was EPIC FAIL.

without the Wii there wouldn't be any point in microsoft/sony thinking "Oh gee, you know what we should do? Add MOTION CONTROL to our games even though it's never been done before and our consoles/games are doing just fine WITHOUT it!"

[marcipaans]

Follow the steps:
1)Nintendo release motion control console
2)Sell 3x the amount of consoles MS and Sony put together
3)MS and Sony attempt to replicate the success of Nintendo but fail.
4)Fanboys still trying to convince you that Nintendo failed.

I wish they'd just make a good system so they didn't have to keep making new ones every 3 years.

I loved the snes and N64 xD
