I've followed the Nintendo Wii craze since the start. How everyone thought it was the greatest thing since the Mario Mushroom power up. How its way more fun than the PS3 and 360. Well, the Nintendo Wii sucks.
So why does it suck? Games will not support and will never run in HD resolution. In this day an age to NOT include HD support is completely unacceptable. For a console to be even considered "Next Gen", it NEEDS to have this! Games are in their own proprietary format. which means no DVDs or Blu-ray. The guts inside this console are pathetic. The hardware was outdated before the console even came out. The games do not vary in genre, and they are all geared towards toddlers to teens.
But wait, people say the controller is revolutionary ! To a point, yes it is. Remember the glove for Nintendo a long time ago? The truth is that Sony and Microsoft can and probably will make a controller similar to Wii controllers. That is the ONLY thing Nintendo has going for it. If you want to put down 150 or 200 dollars on this system cause of a controller, go right ahead.
But wait, some people might say Nintendo lets you download the classics! Give me a break. There has been emulators around so you can play your classic games on many consoles and the PC for years now. Not to mention there are those plug and play retro games that work with any tv.
People who buy the Nintendo Wii are casual gamers, and I have no problem with that. But the console is far from revolutionary. Its not the best thing ever made. And please, for the love of god, develop a game thats NOT based on Mario.
*UPDATE* 12.23.2008
Due to the amount of comments posted I feel as though its time for an update. Firstly, I want to thank everyone for chiming in, especially those who did nothing but rip my arguements apart. I re-read my post to see if I still agreed with my initial assesment of the Nintendo Wii. Guess what? I still do.
There have been a few updates to consoles these days. At this point in time the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have the option to purchase HD movies. The xbox 360 can even stream movies and tv shows from Netflix. How's that for next gen? When I last talked about these consoles the prices were all very high but now times have changed. A Nintendo Wii is nearly the same price as a Playstation 3. Insanity! (Keep in mind folks that the PS3 comes with a blu-ray player that is at least $250+ ALONE) Why is the xbox 360 so cheap? (I hear you whispering to yourself that its because it sucks) Actually, its because the console is over 3 years old which means its now a lot cheaper to make. The Playstation 3 is still a lot of money because its still very expensive to make. The Nintendo Wii is two 2 years old which means its a lot cheaper to make, but still very expensive to buy due to smart marketing and supply & demand. Clearly Nintendo is making a lot of money these days.
Current Prices via Amazon.com:
- Xbox 360 Arcade ($200)
- Xbox 360 Pro Holiday Bundle 60 GB ($300)
- Nintendo Wii ($365+)
- Playstation 3 ($400)
*UPDATE* 06.01.2009
As I predicted a motion controller has finally arrived for xbox to compete with the Nintendo Wii. It was announced and demo'd at E3, as reported by engadget. If this device is relatively cheap and as good as they say this could be devastating to Nintendo.
I just wanterd to say that I'm sorry for posting gay comments on this site and I'm really a virgin with no dick

I can't get my Nintendo to suck? Please someone help, i would like it to suck me off.
Wii Rules - 2009-09-14 at 10:01:18
Listen here you gay mother F&^kers, the WII is the best and if you arse bandits can't see that then are you sure that you are really gay or are you just lame brains that are still playing on commodore 64's in there spare time. Wii Rules Fact! and if you disagree then fu*k U
yup - 2009-09-08 at 23:38:59
When it came out, I would've said how you were wrong, they'd be just as innovative as they were with the SNES and 64, and it'd be the future of gaming.
Shame I'm wrong though.
Wii blows, what a let down. Still wnjoy playing Mario Galaxy/WariowareTouched/Smash Bros/Mario Kart(the wii version really does rule).
But damn, only one of those I play online, and it's not like there's any patching, or downloadable content.
I can forgive HD, but no downloadable content? It'd increase the longevity of games like Smash Bros and MKart. I've given up on Nintendo, they've chose another market, fair enough. Valve seem like a more fan influenced community, I value that more than what Nintendo have done.
Also the rehashing is beyond ridiculous. Metroid Trilogy? They could've done that anyway when they released Metroid 3, not sell one, then sell a bundle. Cheap as all hell. Lost me as a fan.
That being said I rank the DS very highly. Brilliant handheld.
Is this site for the real Retarded gay people? Oh good well i would love to join this site as all my mates call me the wii ryder/Nob Jockey. I am in to bondage so love to tape the remotes to myself and the fantasy is to have 2 remotes one up my **** as far as it will go and one on
Akaro - 2009-09-05 at 05:20:21
Hi Brant:
Well, Iīm happy with my Wii, you can even call me a Nintendo Gayboy. I enjoy the "Hardcore" games like mario cart as well as the "Casual". Funny enough: when playing causal games makes me remember my days at the Arcades back in the 80īs/early 90īs.
Also I am gay and have grown a big dick playing Mario/Zelda/Metroid/FZero/Kirby/etc games for 22 years since I was 2, and as far as I know I will keep doing it.
Is that so wrong? i love to bum fuck while playing.
Personally I think itīs matter of tastes. I have played HD games in 50" Plasma TV Sets, D-ILA projectors and watched them being played at a movie theater: Impressive, but not my cup of tea.
My boyfriend Tony allways wants to bum me after a fit session so why change the grahics.
I know that nothing Iīll ever say can change your mind or anyoneīs from here, but thatīs not my point. My point is this: Why to hate Wii? Hating does not have anything to do with faults. Hating is about caring. You canīt hate what you donīt care at all. When you care about something you dislike, you end up hating it. When you hate something, you end up giving it importance.
A few friends of mine wank hard over there Wii and they know nothing about the console. Cause they donīt care. They game happily with each while jerking each other off and their respective choises without problem. No research about prices, no search for past/presente/future releases of the competence, no discussions about faults of the rivals... just minding their gaming treasures sucking dick.
Do not give importance to the Wii. The more you try the more people will know about the Wii. There is no such thing as "bad publicity".
I love the fact that there exists a strong competence between such powerful companies: it brings wonderful things to us gamers. If Nintendo sells more, Sony and Microsoft will do great things for us. The same goes the other way. The 3 of them are looking strong and we will surely see them in the next generation once this cycle is over.
Do not give immportance to the Wii by talking or thinking too much about it. Thatīs useless, time consuming and by the reading of your article, just makes you feel angry and want to fuck my brothers XBOX 360 and cum inside it.
bro i love xbox is has so many great games and u will get a fat ass siting all day plus the graphics are just cock sucking mouth drippingly great. I normally have two beers some lube on my bum then play the awesome mario kart while my mate bums me hard. the wii is rubbish think this is why most of u hate it. the wii does have enough crap games but when it come to fun the wii wins see i love that vibrating remote.nintendos grapics are crap most games suck cock because gaming company that make game for xbox wii and ps3 make the ps3 and xbox rock but dont put the wii to it full potenial they focus on the other system so i did not regret nothing and yes i do suck nintendo dick i hate sony and xbox before the last thing i thought was a wii this is the first home console from nintendo i have and u just got to get the right nintendo games then u will enjoy it trust me plus those game just have shooters that all nintendo want to reach out and grab my dick and suck it hard playing with my balls feel something specail on the wii to have something they like and they reach out to adult cock to alll because some games are rated e does not mine it fun and not for adult mario who hates that and yeah and i bet all the game u have are just shooter and sport althou the grapic are kool for sport but on the wii u interact more. the main thing is the console is shit really and when i have finnished with the remotes they are covered in shit.
i do like xboxs a bit its just my dog chewed the wires and got an electric shock. It fried her. The worst thing was i had the red light problem after that.
and another thing! the wii is the only console you can strap the remote to your cock and play games. I think everyone should try before they buy so why not get yourself down to argos strap a remote on and stick it on vibrate. Yes baby you will love it. My boyfriend was playing tennis yesterday and just as he won the game he shot his load.

SuperWii - 2009-08-05 at 11:59:24
I think the Wii is much better than the 360 and ps3. Thw Wii is small and compact and gives you alot more exercise than most of you pot heads could handle being cained. The Wii fit board is brilliant i have lost 3lbs this week just from standing on it. the Wii is also more reliable than the xbox that you will need to own 5 in a year and the ps3 that crashes all the time. I read some where most gay people would opt for a 360 put there controller up there arse then play COD 4 and wait for a granade.... Come on you guys lets get real here Nintendo win!
tyler - 2009-08-05 at 11:59:06

SandyBoy - 2009-08-05 at 11:57:56
I regret buying my Wii because i was playing bowling and my mate was stood in front of me and he bent over he was naked and as i was about to bowl, i put the controller up his arse and now the controller is all covered in shit and does not work so for reliability i would have to give it 2 out of 10. But worse still as it went up his arse he head butted the tv and that is now cracked. He fell over on the dog and the do bit his dick. So now i cant play it anymore and he wants little terry put down.
Tyler - 2009-08-05 at 11:56:55
I find having a ps3 is like having a posh wank cause it cost more and my boyfriend hates it when i spill cum on the controllers.
beavisandbuttheadrockZ - 2009-08-05 at 11:56:10
people there computers there all different having a wii isnt a crime if it was i would through mine away!!!! but all the next gen systems are pretty kick ass.

I bought a Wii a couple of years ago.
I'm glad I did.
You're right. That is one sucks dick, kick ass system. I've invested a lot of time and money on a system that is perfect and more than a glorified Game Cube with perfect software library and a great, gimmicky controller. If my wife and kids didn't love the damned thing so much, I would have 2 of them about a year ago when I realized how great the software library is.
I'm glad i did not buy a PS3 and I'm absolutely chuffed that I didn't.
tyler - 2009-08-05 at 11:39:18
ps3 is my choice there are some games found only on ps3 blu rays cool too wii sucks had one liked it for 6 seconds considering selling it P.S. the stuff on this site arguing over computers is ridicoulis nintendo is new to this stuff so ease off please give them some time wii2 should be much better:)

The Wii totally sucks my dick...the games are fantastic, the system itself is powerfull and Nintendo is making about 50 games per year(minigame collections don't count). All 50 of its "Mega Games" RE4 and Zelda: TP are GAMECUBE PORTS!! To top it all off Nintendo is trying to sell you all the extremely great games through the Virtual Console before the ones you really want to buy, I know Nintendo really loves making less money than any other console maker but c'mon, Nintendo lets take the top spot! The Wii is great and is nothing but a non-profit machine for Nintendo and more....lots of worthwhile games so far and loads of great ones on the horizon...what a piece of quality..

Im loving my Wii and dont really understand what everyones problem is.... The 360 sucks and the ps3 is for girls, the Wii is for MEN thats right real MEN. So for girls/ladys/women PS3 For people who only like to play every now and then try a xbox you can play it when its not in for repair.

deikuzutsu - 2009-07-31 at 16:13:00
another thing that annoys me about nintendo is that they keep reusing their games with the same plots. most mario games go like this: bowser gets some item and fucks everything up, then kidnaps peach. also systems like the 360 and ps3 keep making new game series, while the wii is sticking to the old ones. (borderlands for the 360 and ps3 looks good, btw) but yeah i had a wii then converted to the 360 and have not regretted my decision since. and there's one thing tha matters the most in gaming today: ONLINE PLAY
the wii only gives us friend codes and wii speak, not to mention horrible lag.
namelessuser - 2009-07-22 at 20:58:30
And before anybody flames me about my opinion, look at the comments below mine. Flaming me is just going to make you and your console look worse and worse, since it will give one the impression that the only ones who enjoy said console are IQ 75 with no education whatsoever living in their mother's basement, playing said console. I am at least giving an intelligent response, like the person who posted this blog entry. I expect you to do the same. If not, then I can accept that what I stated above was true and that would give me one more reason why I should NOT buy a PS3 or a 360.
Please, use your brains, fanboys. You have them for a reason, which doesn't include being an asshole over an opinion.
namelessuser - 2009-07-22 at 20:53:18
Wait... Isn't emulation illegal?
Unless you buy the original, which Nintendo is offering to do.
And, they DO have the ability to buy and watch movies from the Wii (Japan-only, for now).
And if the Wii sucks so hard, then why is it outselling the PS3 and the 360 4 to 1?
I bought a Wii about two years ago. I have not regretted my decision since then.
I've played my cousin's PS3, and it actually almost gave me a seizure. No joke. I felt like I was going to fall over and pass out.
The 360 is also aging rather quickly, since it's been out longer. I don't see much past Natal.
Also, I have to say that, even though there is quite a bit of shovelware for the Wii, there are many gems in the Wii's software library, many more than what the PS3 and 360 have to offer.
In conclusion: I respect your opinion, but some of your sources are wrong, and I do prefer the Wii over the PS3 and 360 combined.
Oh, and HD sucks too. Costs too much to set up with no visible difference whatsoever. 480i/p FTW!!!
You're right. That is one suck, lame ass system. I've wasted a lot of time and money on a system that is little more than a glorified Game Cube with an even worse software library and a limited, gimmicky controller. If my wife and kids didn't love the damned thing so much, I would have been rid of it about a year ago when I realized how terrible the software library is.
I should have bought a PS3 and I'm absolutely sick that I didn't.

@ Knower
it is apparent to me that you don't know how to do research so lemme tell you are the things that are WRONG about your rant on xbox 360 (and if you haven't noticed i am a fanboi)
1) being made by Microsoft has noting to do with being bad if anything you are using a PC supported by Windows. 2) overheating is a problem in EVERY electronic including PS3 and Wii so buy a cooling fan. 3) maybe if you played the games you would noticed the enhanced AI, Physics, and "better than PS3" frame rate plus graphics. 4) it doesn't cost 50 dollars to get a battery pack genius, it is 12 bucks 5)you're right, subscription is 50 dollars... a YEAR not a month 6) xbox 360 doesn't need a bluray player as it is a GAMING console bit if you want to watch HD movies 360 supports netflix which has HD MOVIES! 7) it used to scratch games and the problem has been dealt with YEARS ago 8)well, i agree that is is loud but not annoying 9) um if you haven't noticed wifi's not perfect and has a tendency to lose the signal from time to time, MS made a good move not to include it. 10) actually it is 3: 20, 60, and 120. but who needs 200 gb? nobody has that many games to use that much space fool 11) it has 3 usb ports 12) and the only thing i can agree on you with is the huge power supply that looks like a generator.
so it seems YOU my friend have not done your research as i have debunked 90% of your "facts". better luck next time
knower - 2009-04-18 at 17:36:43
you are a dumbass derick thinking that the ps3 is a more expensive x box; you are a typical x box fan boy. you dont do any research and buy the cheaper system.
derick - 2009-04-17 at 22:54:27
I play the virtual console it brings back memories the xbox does crush the ps3 the ps3 is a xbox 360 for double the money i just hate the wii remote for wasting batteries on it
Knower - 2009-04-17 at 14:44:35
the reasons why xbox 360 suck. 1. It is made by Microsoft 2. it overheats easily. 3. the games have nothing new them to just modified graphics 4. the control needs batteries if you want a charger cable you'll need to pay an extra 50 bucks. 5. X box live cost 50 bucks per month, some are saying its worth it and its way better than the PS network. the PS network come with free Ethernet and a web browser with free upgrades. 6. If you want a Hd dvd or bluray player player you will need to pay an extra 200 bucks. 7. It scratches your games till the point were you can no longer play them.8. its way louder than the ps3. 9. It has a huge ass power box. 10. no free wifi 11. Only two USB slots. 11. It supports only to types of Hard disk 20 gigs,and 120 gigs. As the ps3 can go over 200 gigs. I dont know about you but i want the best of the best not cheapist piece of crap out there.
Its obvious that wii and X box fan boys don't do the research and get the cheapist stuff out there.

i just want to say i 100% agree. but one thing i think you should have added is that wii is producing bad cheap games like wii play/sports and aren't vary good. also nintendo keeps beating classic nintendo games like a dead horse ex. zelda mario. one last thing is wii owners who want to buy a new game that comes out on all systems usually have to wait almost a week longer to get it then me a xbox 360 owner. I would also like to know your opinion on the DS.
Akaro - 2009-04-08 at 14:28:31
Hi Brant:
Well, Iīm happy with my Wii, you can even call me a Nintendo Fanboy. I enjoy the "Hardcore" games as well as the "Casual". Funny enough: when playing causal games makes me remember my days at the Arcades back in the 80īs/early 90īs.
Also I have grown playing Mario/Zelda/Metroid/FZero/Kirby/etc games for 22 years since I was 2, and as far as I know I will keep doing it.
Is that so wrong?
Personally I think itīs matter of tastes. I have played HD games in 50" Plasma TV Sets, D-ILA projectors and watched them being played at a movie theater: Impressive, but not my cup of tea.
I know that nothing Iīll ever say can change your mind or anyoneīs from here, but thatīs not my point. My point is this: Why to hate Wii? Hating does not have anything to do with faults. Hating is about caring. You canīt hate what you donīt care at all. When you care about something you dislike, you end up hating it. When you hate something, you end up giving it importance.
A few friends of mine dislike the Wii and they know nothing about the console. Cause they donīt care. They game happily with their respective choises without problem. No research about prices, no search for past/presente/future releases of the competence, no discussions about faults of the rivals... just minding their gaming treasures.
Do not give importance to the Wii. The more you try the more people will know about the Wii. There is no such thing as "bad publicity".
I love the fact that there exists a strong competence between such powerful companies: it brings wonderful things to us gamers. If Nintendo sells more, Sony and Microsoft will do great things for us. The same goes the other way. The 3 of them are looking strong and we will surely see them in the next generation once this cycle is over.
Do not give immportance to the Wii by talking or thinking too much about it. Thatīs useless, time consuming and by the reading of your article, just makes you feel angry.
The post above about covers it, the WII sucks, I would rather waste $200 on toy plastic soldier men than a shitty game console (actually that would be pretty cool..). The best games for it don't even require the WII's revolutionary control aside from maybe Metroid Prime 3 which just get's worse and worse as it goes on. Revolutionary?! Remember when the power glove came out, Nintendo are just money sucking leeches regurgitating the same trash over and over and ruining the classics.
Lolkids - 2009-04-06 at 23:49:10
Only children hate the Wii.
RaNdOm PeRsOn - 2009-04-03 at 00:07:44
You need to understand people are getting mad about the games because 1.There all kids games like mario and 2 cause there graphics suck and don't tell me go play mario gallexy whatever... mario sucks balls its out dated and anyone that says not that many people use HD TVs dude the town i live in thats the only type of TV you can buy. I don't mind P3s cause they got some good games but i still think xBox 360s are the best and is the game system you should give if your not a child and don't like mario. If I read anyone say they have other games like Zelda or Brawl or any retarded mario games they were fun.When i was 6!!!! And the remote is just anoying im playing a game to have fun not to work out id like to enjoy the game not have sore arms from swinging them around for 2 hours. Wes are pathetic its like they tried to remake a successful version of the power glove that works but they forgot something actual games that you woulden't find a 40 year old virgin/faggot playing.
woo for wii*not really* - 2009-04-01 at 02:29:28
I think theres so many nintendo fan boys these days bc originally they bought the wii and said this is gonna be awesome brought it home and within the first 45 minutes said omg what the fuck did i just do but they bak the system up anyways to avoid the embarassment that they bought it in the first place.lol i was one of those embarassed jackases.the wii is the most horrible system you can buy.i played a good game on wii every 6 months .then i bought my 360 i fucken love it.theres so many games coming out and already out gta iv lost and the damned cod 5..cod modern warfare 2..left 4 dead.fable..dead rising and dont say well the wii has dead rising 2 bc it just doesnt compare they can only fit like 50 zombies on screen at once on the wii lol.so plz for all you nintendo fanboys there is help.takethat first step and sell your wii on ebay like did for 500 dollars to all the poor suckers who dont any better:).
As far as your update, I've seen Wii's around here for $250, but who would buy them unless for your kids or just a party console. Wii lacks all the great things normal consoles have and need. It was nice to read your site.. its good to know other people know that the wii sucksss!
unhappy wii - 2009-03-25 at 18:43:30
I spent $350 on the costco Wii Bundle because it was mostly *purposely sold out* everywhere else when I bought it. This piece of sh*t has been just collecting dust. Where the f*ck are all the games? The wii has potential, but I do not see it. What a disappointment.
The Dude - 2009-03-25 at 17:09:22
The WII rocks!!!Im pretty sure youre jealous you dont have one!Its affordable and beats the hell out of ps3 and xbox 360 combined!So if you have a promblem dont just cry 'bout it and post it on the internet

The wii has a different interface and it's cheaper than the xbox and PS3. The wii graphics are shit as well as the games. My nephew has one and I wouldn't trade it for a second for my PS3. wii is crap
RawGreen - 2009-03-24 at 22:08:57
The Wii has been in beta since 1998, they haven't improved it much, and Nintendo consoles have always been slow. The biggest and best creation I think was ever made by Nintendo would have to be the Nintendo DS as you can mod it to do just about anything you want, hack into 90% of the web(excluding PayPal and other highly monitored sites), you can put Linux onto it even. The Wii does stink in comparison, but it is cheap and it keeps the kids(10 and under, lol) entertained.
There is a few adult "doki doki" like games for the wii, that's probably the only thing worth checking out on it...
doug - 2009-03-12 at 19:36:03
wii does pretty much suck, but at least 2 of the games were good, and those are twilight princess and super mario galaxy. Brawl and Mario kart wii were okay too. Wii sports is fun for the first twenty minutes, then it's gay, especially the baseball.
FrankenChrist - 2009-03-11 at 19:05:58
Nintendo named it Wii because the word CRAP was already taken.
Jimmy - 2009-03-11 at 00:12:04
As a wii owner i have to tell you it really sux the only game i enjoyed on there was resident evil 4 and everything else sucks dont buy its a waste of money and will only end up collecting dust.
StephenH - 2009-03-10 at 09:33:38
I have a Wii and 2 Xbox 360's. I would love to have a PS3 in the future.
I bought the Wii for my wife. She likes it, but she would rather play Xbox 360. Even on casual games (xbox live arcade), she would rather play a boring casual game with good graphics than the same type game on the Wii with cool controller.
I'm 42 years old. I have been playing video games since most of you were born (probably before). I think Microsoft really got the controller right with the 360. It just feels good -- hours and hours into play. The Red Ring of Death sucks, though. Had it not been for this overheating issue, I think the Xbox 360 is near perfect. If they would add web-surfing, it would be great.
There is nothing wrong with the PS3. It was just late in arriving and it cost a bundle. Other than that, I have no hate for the box..
The Wii, on the other hand, has been a complete disappointment to me. I hate the graphics. I use a large plasma to display the graphics and it is lackluster, at best. I like Galaxy, Metroid, Kart, and even Paper a lot, but after that lists there is only a couple of games left (brawl, etc.). The rest of the games are just average, at best.
The Wii-mote is cool, but there are times I just want to sit in my recliner and not be bothered with all the flailing about to control characters. It is a novelty item that loses it appeal when playing alone. It is a blast when you invite someone younger or older to play along. However, 95% of my playing time is done alone or co-op with someone.
In the end, I admit that I like shooters and RPGs (fallout 3, oblivion, mass effect). I don't think either of these type of games look good on Wii -- yeah, I know, Link and his adventures look fine -- now, give me another example!?
Anyway, I don't think the Wii should be considered in the same class as PS3 and Xbox 360. It is a category of its own. Once you remove it and consider it for what it is -- a great casual gaming machine, it is easier understand why it is popular.
The Xbox 360 and PS3 are in a different class and both are exceptional.
Jack - 2009-03-09 at 12:12:54
Yeah.. I got mine on sale at circuit city. it is pretty cheapo and crap. I kinda wish I didn't buy it. I feel ripped off. I could have dug out my old systems and played the old games I have and gotten the same satisfaction of the classic games, and I only own 1 Wii game. I'm gonna pick up madworld soon, but that's about all I have for it. (save some vc titles) My PS3 gets more use. It's better at playing games. And listening to music, and browsing the web... The xbox does things kinda good. They both look fantastic on a monitor that is HD. The Wii looks like fucking shit.Why didn't they just wait and make an HD machiene? and man I'll be fucking PISSED if they release a whole NEW system that does HD... then they deserve to have severe financial issues. The Xbox already costs $200. The Wii (that doesn't play games in HD) costs 250. WTF, Nintendo. wheres the price drop? it was obsolete when you released it, and your games look worse than all of the previous generation titles. It should have been $100-$150 MAX. I fucking hate myself now for spending the loot on this thing.
FUCK YOU NINTENDO!

Equility Man - 2009-03-08 at 00:41:43
Damn, you shouldn't insult the Wii. People work so Fucking hard on it. No joke. "im tired of playing brawl all the time" seriously? grow a pair. and get wifi (without internet, you're gettin much less fun outta the other consoles anyway) and get other awesome games. Damn, I completely love all 3 console, owning them.
Wii - Best backwards compatibility of any game system, MPC3, brawl, SMG, Zack and Wiki, and many other good games i own
PS3 fantastic graphics and great games
Xbox 360 - my all time favorite (sadly, my only) halo 3. "THIS IS SPARTA!" lawl IWHBYD skull
@ alias2... Maybe you should try playing games other than Brawl. There are plenty of great games available on the Wii.
@ whynintendo... Not a lot of people want to play those games. There is shovelware on every console, so it's not fair to judge a game console based on its shovelware. When MadWorld and The Conduit fail, then you can gloat.
alias2 - 2009-03-02 at 05:43:53
I have a wii, I hate it soo much. I am soo sick of playing brawl all the time. I think I should set my ps2 back up and buy some GOOD games. besides, ps2 is awesome. Wii sucks. oh, and I am saving up for a ps3 at the moment
whynintendo - 2009-03-01 at 21:45:53
I would love to like the Wii, but I can't bring myself to do it when I'm constantly being barraged by "Super Golf-Darts Carnival Bowling XVIII" and crap like that.
Bryan - 2009-02-23 at 21:08:00
Wii...such a disappointment.
I held out on the 360 because I had some real hopes for this.
Motion sensitive controls sounded good in theory, but you don't really realize them while you're playing.
When I'm playing some of their good games, I feel lonely.(Metroid Prime, Smash Bros., Mario Kart)
You can say Smash Bros. is amazing... but I can never find a match online and I have excellent internet connection.
I'm not going to hate on it, but I just can't love it like I loved the N64 and the SNES.
It can't even get Earthbound(greatest game ever) because of copywrite stuff.
I'm getting a 360 in April and I couldn't be happier.
To end I have to agree with the shovelware opinions. Chickenshoot isn't even a game, it's like one of those online pieces of shit you play on cookie giving websites. Nintendo needs to stop letting the bad stuff come through(Escape From Bug Island, Iron Chef Cooking, and a LOT more)
Goodnight and goodbye
P.S. Stop dissing this system, Nintendo doesn't hate you it's just trying to find a new target audience... in an economy like this everyone has to do whatever it takes to bring in the dough, no matter how hard it hurts others. Microsoft and Sony will surely follow in Nintendo's footsteps and we'll have to live with that for a while, give them some time and enjoy the classics(Ocarania of Time, Super Metroid, Super Mario Bros.)

Wii - 46.60M
Xbox360 - 28.42M
PS3 - 20.37M
plus the crying from "hardcore" gamers about "wii sucks";
result turns to be "who cares you hardcore gamers!"
Josh - 2009-02-18 at 20:45:18
Wii sucks end of story... 360 owns all and then the PS3 comes in second...I have all 3 consoles...I would know.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy. There. I admit it. Was that so hard?
I refuse to believe that Nintendo abandoned their core fanbase with the Wii. The games they develop and publish are, for the most part, fun (Smash Bros., Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, WarioWare and more are good fun while Wii Fit and some dubious others are not). The system and those games work. Unfortunately, in order to pull out quality games like those, it takes time. In the meantime, most third party developers are cashing in on the accessibility and large casual audience and putting out crap. It kills Nintendo's image and turns hardcore gamers away.
So while Nintendo and a select few others slave away at making good games, third party companies essentially make the system the butt of jokes (the name alone has taken enough flak for this. Anyone remember when it was called the Revolution? Those were good times).
That's not to say that Nintendo is the only console with problems. I, for one, will never buy a PS3. Why? There isn't enough unique content. While you get some gems in there (I love Metal Gear Solid 4), there are way too many shooters. Shooters belong on the PC with a lovely mouse and keyboard, which, ironically, the Wii comes closest to mimicking with games like Metroid Prime 3 and the upcoming The Conduit.
In fact, the best console right now is the Xbox 360. The controller is the best, by far, of this console generation. There's a huge variety of great content. The online play is the most functional and fun. It just works.
Now, to the writer of this article. As everyone who defends the Wii is obligated to say at least once, graphics don't make the game. If better graphics support made a system better, then I dare you to tell me the Sega Genesis was better than the Super Nintendo. If a game is fun, a game is fun. And are you really going to knock the Virtual Console by comparing it to something that is illegal to all that don't already own the systems and games being emulated? Most people don't like to break the law, and if they want to play those old games and they don't already own them, they aren't going to find many of them as cheap as they will on the Wii. The Wii is also $250 in any store you go to. Check your prices.
Does the Wii suck? That's a matter of opinion. The writer of this article seems to think so because it doesn't have HD support and because one of its features can be replaced by illegal activities. That's like me shooting down the 360's Netflix feature because I can pirate movies from streaming video sites. Nobody ever thought the Wii was the best thing ever made. However, I can honestly tell you that I had more fun with Super Mario Galaxy than I did with anything on the 360 or PS3. Take that however you will.
P.S.: The best gaming platform will always and forever be a PC.

i have a WII, i use it about once a month for about 5 minutes then remember why i dont use it. because it feels cheep. i feel ripped off. yes i was another sucker entranced by motion controls, which i soon found out BLOW! for some reason my parents wont let me spend MY money that i earned as a dishwasher at a restaurant to buy myself a Xbox 360. if only i could make them understand more about the WII they would laugh and throw it out! the WiFi is such a piece of shit, you cant even send messages in text to someone online. done even get me started with the games the put out, all of the third party games are just games other consoles rejected and Nintendo was like "Lets make some money of some stupid little kid!" fucking sell outs.
wow. - 2009-02-06 at 22:11:58
Oh, and while i was typing this, i've been waiting for the past 30 minutes for Wi-Fi CoD 5 for the wii to load.
wow. - 2009-02-06 at 22:10:40
Quantum of solace for the wii, has worse graphics than James Bond: Nightfire on the Gamecube like 6 years ago.
a name - 2009-02-04 at 20:10:59
"The truth is that Sony and Microsoft can and probably will make a controller similar to Wii controllers."
if they do make controller like the wiimote, I would never play video games again, I own a wii and almost all games that use only the wimote arent that fun
tribeysrsly - 2009-01-25 at 11:22:25
The Wii is garbage. Just look at the marketing. Play games with your 8 year old kid, parents or even grandma. Yawn.
Buying a Wiggles DVD is far cheaper and a Remote > Wiimote.
Keep in mind that "hardcore" gamers who only respect violent shooters and lack lives are only a small niche among gamers. Actually, it was even smaller when consoles like the Atari 2600 were around, because video games were a new thing. A "hardcore" gamer only stems from a casual gamer.
Also, your HD support argument is flawed. I would guess that maybe only 15% of the population uses HD? HD support may be a requirement next generation, but it hasn't penetrated society enough to be a requirement this generation.
And your point about 360 and PS3 are going to have motion controls... PS3 has god awful motion controls for games like Lair, and by the time Microsoft and Sony are caught up there, Nintendo will catch up as far as graphics are concerned. Now that Nintendo has about half of their consoles sold in the hands of previous non-gamers, they can use that niche and use bridge titles to slowly make these previous non-gamers hardcore gamers.
As far as the prices go, one thing that's amazing is that the software sells for $50 when it's new, and this saves a lot more money than exclusive PS3 or 360 gamers probably don't realize. The software is priced lower because Nintendo is smart about marketing, they are selling the Wii for a profit, while the other two are selling their consoles at a loss. Sony can't lower the PS3 price any more other than if the production costs are lowered (remove the Bluray maybe?) because of their deep, deep, deep deficit. And they have to lower their prices to make it look more attractive, or else the PS3 will be "Dreamcasted".

wii sucks end of story.
the dude - 2009-01-20 at 15:52:35
i agree i loved the wii so much when it came out but now all the games there making sux shit, thyre not even making many, xbox is getting even cheaper and they keep up making amazing games with good gharpics, ps3 games are okay but it does alot more than either, the only game im looking forward to on the wii is the next starfox game hopefully it will be mulitplay like from assalt
dfjkshgsdl - 2009-01-10 at 15:28:32
*Facepalm* ahhwww... look at you ignorant lil' fags.....you guys really did your research, ehh? 365+ dollars! seriously!?! i mean, can you even fuckin' count? what are you, four years old? The fuckin Wii is 250 dumbshit. and It's not thier fault there' putting a few bad games on it. there's so many good games already. The graphics? you say horrible! no way. hey, check out super mario galaxy. maybe, just maybe, youll change your answer. yeah. Oh, "next gen"! dude, its "Next Gen" when you shut the fuck up. practically everything you guys are saying is so fuckin idiotic." Oh ladida fuck me the wiiner is suckishier dan va ps3" Fuck you! the wiis fuckin waaay better than the ps3, ps2, ps1 xbox, xbox 360, psp, ds, game boys, gamecube, and especcially you. Just give it time. Nintendos already came out with 7 extremely good games that were given 10s or 9.5s. There'ye probably coming out with a GTA game for it too. "nah it's naawt!" yes it most definetly will, fucktard. Theyve already put Bully, a rockstar game on it, and there having GTA: Chinatown Wars coming out on the DS. Plus a "gory" game like madworld is coming out too. So, for all of you max-prison escapees who were convicted for raping and slashing little girls you can be satisfied for another "violent" game for the wii. Good night and fuck you.
Omegaman - 2009-01-08 at 19:19:40
Oh yeah get a fuckin' DVD player cheap ass Game systems are meant for gaming you see, that's why they don't call em dvd 360 or dvdstation3 ya ignorant fags who love it up the ass.
Omegaman - 2009-01-08 at 19:15:26
K, for all u numskulls who need to get this thru their dense heads; please, for the love of god, don't go naggin' because of too many mario games. This bull has been busting our chops. And Pokemen, I hate it too, but theres only one game on it for the wii. And at least less than 3 Mario-only Wii games out for the Wii in the pass 2 years. Not counting the games that include him and every other Nintendo Character- like Super Smash Bros. Brawl- a huge hit for the Wii. One of the biggest reasons people are buying it.Yet, I can say that Nintendo has to keep track of crap like Chicken Shoot and other irrelevant shovelware on it. That's all we need to stop. You can get the Internet, Download Ds demos, look at online reviews for the newest game, compete against anyone in the world on WiFi compatible games (more than 4/5 are WiFi compatible). The Gameplay of great games like
Brawl (n00bs like u haven't probably heard of it)is the wii game of the year
Mario kart wii (many more than mario)
Mario Party 8 (Many more than mario)
Super Mario Galaxy (incredible graphics)
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Zack and Wiki
Sonic Unleashed
Wii Fit (You need it)
And many more games.
There's weather channel (yay snowdays) News channel, Internet Channel, Ds download Station, Wii Speak (headset) channel, and the fantastic WiiWare titles like Final Fantasy series. You also have a Mii channel, that's better than the other systems, and you can submit your miis, "favorite" miis, import miis, use them as an avatar, and so much more. You guys really need to stop underestimating the Wii. You dumbasses need to explore just a tad bit more before saying it blows.
And Rob, you can kiss my honkey ass.
I own a wii, but i plan on selling it very soon....why you ask, because IT SUCKS!! Its a motion controlled gamecube, nothing next gen about it, i also own a 360, which is way better than the wii, shit even the original xbox cums all over the wii, nintendo needs to get there shit straight, and stick their heads outta pokemon and marios asses.
Intelligent Life Form - 2008-12-24 at 17:45:09
THE WII IS ONLY 250 IDIOT!!!!

u guy are all losers lolz
Kcaesar - 2008-12-17 at 20:17:55
These threads crack me up. People getting so pissed and defensive about their console. My bottom line: Video games are awesome! I own all three consoles, just so I can play the best all have to offer. Now I know not everybody can have all three, but they all have incredible titles. I love the wii. Great games like Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Smash Bros, No More Heroes, Zach and Wiki, Mario Kart, World of Goo and De Blob just to mame a few. PS3 has Uncharted, MGS4, Little Big Planet, and soon GOD OF WAR 3! 360 has Gears of War, Fable, Halo 3, and Bioshock. I love all of these games, and they are on three different awesome consoles. I understand having your favorite, but I don't understand the hate. Saying that the wii is only for casuals is ignorant. I'm very hardcore and I LOVE it. It has great multiplayer, if you actually want to play with people....you know in person. I'm not down with the headset gaming. Just another way to push people apart, instead of bringing them together to play. Anyway that being said nintendo does need to offer these things soon (and they will) if they want to retain/regain credibility with a lot of the "hardcore" players. I put hardcore in quotes because I don't think you can be considered that if you shun an entire system and all of its games. I play the wii and I'm more hardcore than you, does that piss you off? Haha, just playing....no disrespect intended.
Googol - 2008-12-12 at 18:15:11
YOu all need to shout up about the fact that the Wii has worse specs than the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Good graphics don't make a system good.
Mike - 2008-12-11 at 16:18:45
Wii is a turn in the wrong direction for Nintendo. For one I don't like the gimmicky controls, I guess I'm just a fan of conventional controls. Another thing is the inferior hardware. Looking at it, both it's CPU and GPU use the PowerPC/Gekko and ATI Flipper (Gamecube hardware) as it's basis. It really is a Gamecube 1.5. The third thing I dislike is that in a way they disowned their fans that kept them going during their so-called "dark ages". What's going to happen when a lot of fans give up and the market share is entirely in the hands of casuals? I don't think too many of them will be waiting outside on Launch day to buy a Gamecube 3.
My last thing with them is that several Gamecube games like Twilight Princess, Resident Evil 4, or Super Paper Mario (which was excluded from the Gamecube library completely), were ported over to Wii for some quick and easy sales. Credit was given to these ports instead of the real versions, especially with the first one.
Furthermore, to set the record straight, I am most certainly not a fanboy. I currently own a NES (2 official and 1 clone), SNES, and Gamecube and had a N64 that I regrettingly sold for a Dreamcast. Will I get the Wii? Probably. But aside from Brawl and Galaxy, I really don't care to get one.
Thanks for the comments, but you sound like a possible fanboy to me. :(
The Wii will always be for casual gamers. That is who they market and why it sells so well.
Yuke - 2008-12-06 at 20:53:53
Look, I'm not a fanboy. I play all three consoles regularly, and to be honest the Wii is the true winner here... unfortunatly that doesn't mean it WILL win. that's right, I am, in fact, a hardcore gamer and I prefer the Wii over a 360 or PS3 any day.
But because of fucktards like you the Wii is completly passed over. You see the commercials for games developed by Imagine and you assume that Nintendo is for kiddies; what the fuck? Nintendo didn't even develope those games, even if they ARE selling them (which is a big mistake since it kills their image).
The classics on the VC are not all playable on those plug in and play things. You are an idiot for thinking that at all. The VC is cheaper than buying a classic game and easier to get your hands on (figurativly).
Games naturally use the Wii's innovative control scheme. While sometimes this ruins the experience Nintendo often gives the option to use GameCube controller to games that it would work for. If that's not enough play a REAL Wii game and the controls or more often than not expertly implemented.
And, you, sir, are the casual gamer here. Bitching about GFX? Grow up. Take a game like Chrono Trigger and put it up against Halo 3 and you'll see that it's the design of the game that matters, not the graphics.
So, really, I may sound like a fanboy but I'm not: I TRY to play the other systems. No innovation. Too much focus on media. Making games overly violent to attract player who need the "M" rating. No originality. AND they copy the Wii in several subtle ways.
I can't believe I'm commenting on this... do your fucking research though.
Michael - 2008-12-05 at 20:01:52
I think the wii is alright sure it has worse graphics than the other 2 but it makes sence microsoft is a big computer company obviosly it will have better graphics and a better hard drive and sony is another big software company that makes DVD players so of course they will have blue ray but nintendo is just a video game company and they wouldnt have any reason to have all that stuff. it still has pretty good graphics the cutscenes in smash bros. look good. plus this is the first time nintendo has gone without memory cards and had system memory and the first time it has had online so you wouldnt really expect it to be that good. they have some good games coming out like Madworld and the conduit all in all nintendo is doing pretty well for it self( no more heroes was a good game too).
P.S. i wrote this comment through the internet channel on my wii.
whatever - 2008-12-05 at 06:47:14
I'm selling my wii to some sucker on that will pay too much for it on ebay for this coming christmas, just like i was a sucker for buying this boring system in the first place. This is a childs console.
Scruffton - 2008-12-01 at 07:27:51
@ZeroHeroNero
"BUT WITHOUT NINTENDO AND MARIO DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD HAVE THESE FRICKEN SYSTEMS LIKE TODAY?!?!?!?!"
You do realize that there were video games BEFORE Nintendo...right?
Face it dude, unless you're a twelve year old, the Wii blows.
And you found the 360 and PS3 hard to use? What's so difficult of reading a fucking manual and remember 6 buttons and what they do?
God, Nintendo fans are idiots.
I AGREE!! - 2008-11-30 at 06:05:28
THANK YOU!!! For a long time there have been people who think ( as you stated ) the controller is revolutionary! Yes the controler is well made and designed, BUT the everything else is complete rubbish, it just looks like they made the controller and said this will do, and just put a bit of shit in a plactic box and there we have a nintendo wii!
takslatah - 2008-11-29 at 00:03:28
Thank You! Someone who is actually a true gamer. The Wii is so terrible that it is single handedly destroying gaming, it is showing developers that they can put a bunch of crap in a bag light it on fire and people will do whatever they can to buy one. PLEASE PEOPLE STOP BUYING THIS PIECE OF JUNK. I am a big PS3 fan but I would much rather see people buy a 360 then a Wii atleast they will be buying a geme system that doesn't make me want to puke my guts out! To all 22 million (give or take) uninformed people who have mistakenly purchased this please burn it and end this ridiculour trend before Sony and Microsoft develop consoles that utilize this crappy interface and thus destroy gaming as we know it forever!
360 - 2008-11-28 at 23:31:16
Yes the nintendo wii does suck, worst and overrated console in the history of gaming, im a 360 gamer and its miles ahead of the wii, the ps3 has nice games to, uncharted, resistance 2, killzone 2, little big planet , I want a ps3 after playing a 60v60 match in resistance 2, supreior than halo 3 in many ways, but all my friends have a 360 so ill stick to it.

Wii as the CEO of Factor 5 said is a quote on quote: "Journey Back Through time". The Wii in hardware terms should be compared to the PS2 or the Xbox. Though even then I'm skeptical it'll be more advanced then those. The Wii is an Insult to "Next Gen gaming" And any gamer that is dedicated to not reverting back to the Ultima 3 age should avoid the Wii at all cost. I'm a PS3 guy but I Don't really mind the 360 as long as its not that wario playing bullshit. Or Kerby Fuck that.
Dylan - 2008-11-22 at 05:57:32
The Wii pisses me off. I have a modem for internet, and xbox lets me plug in a internet cable. But fucking noob-tendo makes me either get wireless internet, or buy some USB internet thing. FUCK YOU NOOB-TENDO
Jhedan - 2008-11-18 at 17:00:26
@ ZeroHeroNero : Let me see if I get this, you find it confusing to play a videogame on a 360 or PS3 but you are smart and tech savvy enough to operate a computer, log into the internet and post a comment on web page article? don't make me laugh.
To all those people who find it confusing: my cousin is 3 years old! and in less than 30 minutes of first having a controller he was blazing thru Marvel Ult. Alliance. Now if you are adults or at least teens, how come you find difficult to use a real game controller when a 3 year old kid can get used to it in a few minutes?
Joker OGGI - 2008-11-17 at 10:45:04
Thank god someone finally said something about this piece of crap console. I do acknowledge the fact that the Wii is number one in sales but its in last place in the console wars to me. It's graphics are no better than the ps2. I do not consider this console next gen. It has few games that let you play against people online and the games suck anyway. I got a Wii last christmas and me and my sister got bored of it within a week. The only thing going for it is the stupid controller. It's fun to use in games like Wii sports but any other game it's useless and annoying. The only thing going for the Wii right now game wise is the super smash brothers game, which isn't saying much. The saddest part about this is the fact that the people at nintendo truly believe that this game console can relate to hardcore gamers. There is no way in hell that this thing can attract hardcore gamers. This console attracts 5 to 10 year olds and retarded fan boys. Don't buy a Wii it sucks. By the way I sold my Wii. Oh yeah no matter what you say to me fan boys you look like an idiot using the wiimote.
Explainer - 2008-11-16 at 13:33:53
While I agree with you at some points, I should let you know that every console has it's weak points.
Brian S - 2008-11-13 at 23:40:23
I had a Nintendo Wii. I even stood in line for 6 hours in the cold to get one! I was first in line! I was pretty drunk too. Might as well make the most of it, right? And I bought a ton of games! And guess what? I traded them all and the Wii for a PS3! Best thing I ever did. Now I have a blu-ray player and some awesome games. And I have a 360 and I can say that the Wii SUCKS in comparison!
james - 2008-11-11 at 02:36:28
the wii doesn't have hd because its games look so bad it would not make any difference

Thank you!! Finally someone who gets how much the wii sucks. Nintendo should really stop making systems if the continue to produce this garabage.
P.S- Vinnie to the V, you are obviously your not a real gamer if you think the 360/ps3 suck. So keep your mouth shut if you dont no what your talking about.

danielrules.com - 2008-09-22 at 22:41:35
The Nintendo Wii is a stupid console.Yes,I admit it has fun games,revolutionary control,ye ol classics and accesible price!...but the truth is...it totally sucks!Bad Wi-Fi Connection,games for little kids,horrible GUI,stupid(but "portable")design,I mean the thing can't even run in HD!I went to Best Buy for a freakin' 40" Full HD for what!?To keep staring at it!?I spent $1,300 dollars because i thought:"The Xbox got a cool HDMI Ready cable for resolution up to 1080p and so does the PS3,then the Wii must have one too!"...I was so stupidly foolish and dumb...Where the hell did I got the "The Wii has the same resolution as a PS3 and an Xbox 360!" thing!
In the end,the Nintendo Wii is officially a little better looking Playstation 2 with a better control and worse games...as simple as that!
GreenRingOfGlory - 2008-09-21 at 15:32:30
The Wii is a Half-Gen abomination. It's just a parallel of the pre-fab PCs made for idiots who know nothing about computers, but want to check their e-mail. The Wii tends to pigeonhole itself into gimmicky, shallow party games and track shooters. I now own an Xbox 360, and I gotta say, I'm impressed to the Nth degree and filled with a warm, fuzzy feeling that you only get from a truly fulfilling gaming experience. When I played the Wii, I felt insulted as a gamer and as an adult. Millions of 10-year-olds will disagree, I'm sure. Everyone else needs to take their blinders off and drop the extra cash to really get into the game. As they say: "You get what you pay for". As a side note, the PS3 is making some pretty weak attepts to pull people in. A handful of popular franchises and the ability to play a format that I don't own and can't even afford to rent (B-R) isn't even a decent attempt to get my attention. All hail the Green Ring Of Glory. That's the end of my story.
ZeroHeroNero - 2008-09-17 at 00:54:07
Wow the Wii is totally amazing I love it so much Me and my wife have had it for 5 months and still love it so much!!! The Xbox 360 sux ass!!! First of all no free internet 2 it gets confusing to a person who hasplayed it before unlike the wii where you put in a game and just click the channel and push play. The ps3 i have to admit is good BUT WITHOUT NINTENDO AND MARIO DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD HAVE THESE FRICKEN SYSTEMS LIKE TODAY?!?!?!?!

blah - 2008-09-10 at 17:29:59
Let's set the record straight. People don't say PS3 is great to feel better about their purchase. I know more and more people who are selling their XBOX 360 because it continually breaks and scratches their gaming disks. Eventually the only thing you will have is "DISC UNREADABLE". And no, I'm not even going to talk about the RED RING OF DEATH.
Second of all, Halo may have been "revolutionary", but it is definitely OVERRATED. Playing Call of Duty 4 makes Halo 3 look like a primitive game. And as for MGS4? I'm a PS3 user and I don't even like MGS4.
I recall seeing someone say that gaming is not all about the graphics -- listen, no one is saying that it is. But WII fails in the GAMEPLAY area too. Just admit it already, you got sucked in and you made a mistake.
I would take a 360 or PS3 over a Wii ANY DAY.
Dirk - 2008-09-09 at 06:19:00
My nintendo wii has gone un-played for about 5 months. I don't feel like swinging my arms about all the time when I wanna relax. Why not make optional controller for every game?
And though graphics aren't everything, after playing my 360 on my 37 lcd, and then the wii, I just can't stand that choppy low res look.
Not to mention most of the games I can't stand to play for more than 10 minutes.
Fun for kids, but boring for most real gamers. I think i'm just gonna sell it on ebay, maybe get a PS3.
Greg - 2008-09-08 at 14:41:57
I have to admit I outgrew FPS a LONG time ago and because of that the wii has been a complete blast. I love wii sports, the interactive game play, all my old games, and some of the new games. Graphics have never done anything for me. Bitching about graphics reminds me of the NEDM meme. Graphics do not make games better playability does.
Joe - 2008-09-01 at 00:39:03
I have given up looking for a Wii at the $249 retail price, and now after having a good long look at one and playing one, I decided to NOT buy this skunky over-hyped toy. The Wii Fit stuff sounds attractive, but cheap ass controller problems and super high prices, zero availability, and the fact that the Wii Fit regimine is totally lame as fitness made me decide to bypass this one. Thanks Nintendo, not having them available has given me a chance to not be an impulsive idiot for once. For fitness I'll take a free bike ride and get off my video game ass anyway.
C-Los - 2008-06-25 at 19:52:20
Nintendo was good on it's heyday but they should give it up Microsoft and Sony are kicking their ass big time, and it's their own fault for concentrating to much on their first party games that basically come out once in a blue moon and let's face it Mario in every game really sucks, it's their third party games which they should be concerned about but since Nintendo doesn't let the third party developer take advantage of their consoles tech cause Nintendo has to do it first that's why I hope Nintendo drops out so people don't waste money on that piece of shit console called Wii.
Mike - 2008-06-19 at 21:06:11
I agree. I owned the wii and I only liked it for a good few hours. I received the 360, and seriously I never looked back from there. I feel like Nintendo does cheat the hardcore gamer, and also manufacturing useless gimmicks like the Wii Zapper which is nothing but a piece of plastic that holds your Wiimote and Nunchuk....
Do us a favor Nintendo please... focus more on your handheld consoles than make a new one.. Where did all the magic in the big N go...

the wii sucks balls. It has graphics that are wrse than a ps2, shit online play and a crap lineup of junior games. The "revolutionary" remote is amusing for a while but it becomes shit after a month. How can they even say the wii is 7th Gen? it more like 5th gen in terms of power. Innovation is useless without good games that take advantage of that innovation.

da wii is spreading like a virus. A guy buys the wii, plays it for 2 months, invites his friend who also thinks it looks cool and buys one. The cycle repeats endlessly. We are heading into the future (HD gaming, powerful hardrives) and not the past. Who the heck would want to play a better looking gamecube with a strap-on remote? The wii is for little stupid kiddies who know NOTHING about games and consoles and for all the dumb people who fell for that lame Wii advertising shit...nintendo sucks as they thought innovation could overpower...power itself (360, ps3).

frigen gamecube with a different shape and ui and a new controller.junk. the hand on the screen wiggles all over and is useless for shooting. i know a guy who bought one and likes it... but i knew he was messed up in the head before he bought one

I got a Nintendo Wii and I like it but I dont play it much because I realized after school and work and homework I just want to chill and sit and play games not jump everywhere, do high energy workouts, and box with the air. So if you are like me and have long hours at work stay away from this system or it will become a 250 dollar paperweight before you know it...
lol tom. Well, as it turns out my xbox 360 had to be replaced because it had the ring of red death. I was pretty pissed about it since it had all the ventilation it could possibly want.
Also you mentioned Portal. By far my most enjoyable game in awhile. It was a total shock to how good it was and the end of the game was the best ending ever!
Tom - 2008-05-01 at 11:34:00
I bought a wii because I too was sucked in. Thought games like super mario galaxy was amazing. Then I played portal on the 360. Holly jesus! I wanted to kick my self in the fucking head! How could I be so stupid. I'm a hardcore gamer and I got sucked in. The 360 is now the only console I play. The wii is the apple mac of the gaming world. It got smooth a white and attractive aesthetic appearance that sucks in fucking knuckle heads who have no idea that whats inside the box is actually utter crap. Man my ps2 is so much better. A fucking remote isn't innovation. I am so sick of wii fans always sticking up for the wii and writing what they believe to be witty comebacks like "go play with your heater (360)". I haven't ever had a heating problem with my 360. Only idiots who lock them in there television cabinets with no ventilation get that problem. It heats up for a reason!! cause its so fucking powerful pumping out HD graphics and doing insane algorithms in nano-seconds it burns the wii to dust and its shitty "two gamecubes stuck together with duct tape" hardware. Nintendo is a joke and I hope they fade away in to obscurity!!! The games suck. I just hired mario kart to see if it was going to at least bring some new life to the wii gathering dust but I'm fucking sick of it and the wifi service doesn't work cause there servers are to full. Burn in hell nintendo!!! I selling this fucker and I'll make a handsome profit cause some stupid mum will by it for her kids and thats what they are for. Kids.

The Wii Sucks...........HARD. My Brother got it to play Zelda and got rid of it after making 2 bad game choices. He did that cause the Wii's games are shit in a box, the graphics are god-awful. and the controls are MULTILATED! Plus there are only kids games. Mario and Mini games are the only real games in its entire library. THE Wii SUCKS ASS AND NEVER IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE EVER THINK ABOUT WASTING $250 ON THIS UNFINISHED SHIT EXCUSE OF AN ENTAINING GAME CONSOLE!! >:[

It is my opinion that the bashful gamers make fun of other systems so they feel better about their purchase. I'm sorry, but a lot of PS3 owners are on the blogs talking smack about the other systems. This is because they are upset about their systems. I am not a bashful gamer, but when someone makes frequent insulting comments i think your a douchebag. Therefore I will state my opinion with facts- just facts and with limited opinion. The 360 in better that ps3.
1better games, stfu about resistance halo blew it away. Ps3 people talk about metal gear solid when the franchis is fun but its not that great.
2graphics- ur paying more for a system that doesn't have that superior of graphics
3 live-xbox live is infinetly better that ps3 live
4 blu ray isn't that big of a deal- jusus christ dvds are just fine. yeah sure its cool but its not that great. Also the blu ray player in the ps3 causes there to be longer load times because it is slower.
Really, you're console choice between 360 or wii is opinion based. ps3 blows nuts- im convinced
the wii does have some good games for a certain group and the 360 has games for another group. personally i do not like the wii for the lone reason that i suck with the wii mote. I like my 360 controller. 360 has halo and wii has brawl ps3 ah ITS GOT A BLU RAY (sarcasm)

"The Wii Sucks" is the 16 year old boy's nerd montra. Kinda like "The Cowboys suck" is a jock's useless take on the sport of football. You know what I think? The 360 sucks. The PS3 sucks. The Wii is a damn blast. I outgrew first person shooters 10 years ago. It has more fun games than either system. It has more on the horizon. Deal with it fanboys.
platomaker - 2008-04-13 at 17:20:32
i just bought the wii to play smash bros. brawl. that's it. you all may say the wii sucks that might be because you just don't like this one game; because this one game is reason enough for people to buy the wii and was for a majority of people on my campus. oh and as for the virtual console being a money hungry service- yeah if it was just that then people wouldn't be pushing their dollars into it, ROMS and emulators are still illegal, but besides that it's a bit difficult to get multi player action on most roms working anyway. furthermore, there are just some games i've never heard of that kick way more ass than games now. bomberman93 is 5 players? back in the day when four slots were not available you have all these games that have the capability (snes era) but now that its a reality there are no such games in existence. (halo series was awesome for the lan line parties)... i forgot what i was saying sorry.

Wii sucks. I'm a game tester, I work with all three of the "next gen" systems. I own a 360 and PS3.
The graphics on the wii are garbage, the online play is garbage, the "waggle" is boring after an hour, the game selection is terrible, etc etc.
I really hate the Wii. It's dumbing down the game industry. "Lets dump innovation and technology for a stupid party game with WAGGLE!" -No name third party Devs

The wii is no where to be found, that's why it sucks. Nintendo doesn't care about their customers, all they care about is making hype to make it seem like it's popular. It's obvious that if the Xbox or PS3 got an attachment similar to the wii-mote (which they can easily do), they would totally demolish Wii in sales.
Cuntscab - 2008-02-26 at 21:03:02
WII SUCKS MY MASSIVE HAIRY BALS I HATE IT SO GODAMN MUCH ITS A PIECE OF SHIT WITH GRAPHICS AS GOOD AS PS1, PS3/360 ARE MY TWO SYSTEMS AND THEY BLOW WII STRAIGHT OUT INTO OBLIVION THEN RAPE IT WITH THEIR MASSIVE HARDRIVES AND HD ENABLERS THINGIES.

@el duderino
I am sure micorsoft will release a standalone Blu-ray addon driv. Thats the beauty of not including it with the console. . .Its future proof.
el duderino - 2008-02-22 at 06:59:39
Had my wii for 2 months. realized it was a completely overhyped piece of junk and sold it for an outrageous amount of money. hahahaha.
made me understand nintendo though. i got 500 bucks out of that peice of crap. its like taking candy from a baby.
P.S. the wiimote is garbage and inneffective. never fear 2008 is the year of the PS3. have fun with that hd dvd player all you 360 fanboys.

All of the previous statements I must conquer with, my brother bought a Wii just to be part of the craze, its completley horrid, the graphics are shoddy and rival that of a Ps one. I myself own a 360 with live and 8 or 9 games, no contest it blows the wii right out of the water, nintendo needs to pay attention to to their fanbase instead of screwing them over, but when you are a heartless corporation I guess those sort of things are uninportant as long as your putting the mopney in the bank. Nintendo for the sake of all gamers, dont make another console, much appreciated :)

I've been tempted to get a Wii since they came out, simply because it's the only way I could ever get my spouse to play games. The problem is, I can think of only 2-3 games I'd actually want to play, and I can't justify buying a console for just one or two short-lived gimmicky sports games.
Meanwhile, my PS2 has a massive selection of great games of all genres (and I'm collecting them all -MUWAHAHAHA!). I never jumped on the PS3/X360 bandwagon, but I have a ridiculously overpowered gaming/dev PC and the big console hits usually get ported within a reasonable time frame. Besides, I have no idea how people can even play FPSes on a gamepad. Halo on Xbox was ok, but it was so much better with a keyboard and mouse on the PC!
PanzerWing - 2007-06-19 at 05:17:11
The Wii totally blows...the games suck, the system itself is completely undepowered and Nintendo is making about 2 games per year(minigame collections don't count). All two of its "Mega Games" RE4 and Zelda: TP are GAMECUBE PORTS!! To top it all off Nintendo is trying to sell you all the extremely crappy games through the Virtual Console before the ones you really want to buy, I know Nintendo really loves money more than any other console maker but c'mon, cut your fans a break! The Wii sucks and is nothing but a money-making machine for Nintendo and nothing more....no worthwhile games so far and nothing too great on the horizon...what a piece of crap..
