i have borrowed tvc's little white wii and have spent the last three hours waggling. good god is it ugly on hdtv. worst console ever. anyway, here are my experiences with its subpar library.
super mario galaxy is fun. i hate waggling to spin and pointing at star shit, so i subtract two points for that. also STORY WTF ARGH. still, when it's going, it's awesome. after beating the good egg galaxy, i put it roughly on par with sunshine, maybe a slight bit better since i imagine it doesn't fall apart in the last levels.
zelda lol. played and beat the 'pube version; no need to play the inferior version with its lack of camera controls.
zack and wiki seems cute, but the puzzle areas reset when you fail, which is cumbersome if it's a multi-part puzzle. it's a'ight, i guess. waggle waggle.
re4 wii edition seems a bit easier with pointing. first game that seems to work well with the waggle stick, and its ironically a port of a game that already had good controls. ultimately, waggle is a total marginal improvement for first- and third-person shooters.
re: umbrella chronicles is fun but really ugly. shooting zombies never gets old, but this would be much MUCH better as a ps3+guncon3 game.
scarface is really bad. the cursing button DOES provide some amusement, though.
wii play is an atrocity. wii sports is also not fun. i asked my wife to play because she is a filthy non-gamer who should like non-games, but she said it looked kinda stupid and i agreed and so there we are. i might try to get her to play bowling later. or maybe not.
tvc forgot to include metroid prime ass corruption so no go there.
jesus fuck playing this on my hdtv is like a holocaust for the eyes. i'd move it upstairs to my sdtv but tvc only included the component cables. that's right: the wii is virtually unplayable unless you DOWNGRADE your tv and connection. "optimized for s-video" should be on the box.
there you go. happy fucking new years. you'e better off spending your $250 on two bottles of johnny walker green label than this crap.
-
no fire emblem or sooper pooper paper mario?
-
I am surprised you didn't mention how fuck ugly RE4 is
it was my first time playing it on a HDTV and i was shocked
-
RE4 wii is horrible, chucked that turd asap
-
Just say it, you're addicted to Wii. You don't have to lie to us and yourself to try and keep your street cred intact.
-
i've had a Wii for about 5 days now, still in the box :lol I ordered a bunch of stuff from amazon but looks like they're slacking for the holidays.
After this massive HD-DVD binge i've been on this week, i'm dreading hooking it up now. It's going to look SO BAD. But this Mario thing sounds pretty good so what the hell.
Is there an EB consensus on Medal of Honor Heroes II for Wii btw? I know it's fuckugly but apparently it controls really well. I don't trust any of the sites that are saying this however.
-

Yup, the controls are INFERIOR too
yes people, i am lazy to point the fucking wiimote at my screen

i like how widescreen isn't, and is all shifted to the side like a slide projector out of register
-

Allow me to blow your mind: An HD video of someone playing a Wii will look better than the actual Wii

Super Mario Galaxy gets much better. Keep playing it, Drinky.
I can't say much about the other games though. The Wii has such a crappy and limited game library. Super Paper Mario is a turd. Don't touch it with a ten foot pole. I did not enjoy RE4 on the Wii, which is strange since I loved the 'Cube version. Zelda is nice and I haven't played MP3 yet.
-
Galaxy ends at 60 stars
short game lol and still EASY
-
Well, that's the requirement to get to the final boss but there is so much more to do. I couldn't stop playing until I got all 120 stars, which I didn't even do with SM64.
Some of the later stars are quite challenging.
-
rayman raving rabbids or rabbits or whatthefuckever was about as much fun as spreading someone's ass cheeks and counting dingleberries
that reminds me, i'm late for that new year's eve party
-
at least there's some texture work on dingleberries
-
Galaxy keeps getting better as you go along.
Its not as great as 64 though :(
Also drinky play some trauma center and monkey ball (single player, stay far away from the minigames).
-
HAVE I GONE BACK IN TIME TO WHEN PEOPLE TROLLED THE WII, NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY ANYMORE
YEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
-
I should just repost everything from that gaf thread over here, i'm all over the fucking place and i'm not even drinking
-

I would've thought the same thing if I haven't played SM64 DS this past summer. Nostalgia's a bitch. :(
-
dcharlie, demi is mocking gaf's predictable responses
-
It's not actually trolling if you don't admit it
-
well, he COULD be mocking me. fortunately for him, it can go either way!
-
i wanna buy it again after owning it earlier this year.. I just loaded up on games today.
it looks - OK - with component cables.....just stay far away from the screen ;)
-
It's not a coincidence that Drinky has acquired a Wii shortly after turning 34.
-
however, two bottles of johnny walker green are not a more worthy investment than the wii. ;)
-
johnny walker blue, then!

galaxy gets a lot harder after the first 6-10 galaxies. those are all just really warm-up levels to teach you how to use the power-ups and physics and whatnot. it's very easy to breeze through those. I still suggest getting all the stars in those galaxies.
I'm at 72 stars so far and I'm not tempted to finish the game but I don't really consider the game to be that easy overall. it's easy to figure out most of the puzzles and the game gives you a shitload of lives but most other AAA games are less challenging imo.
-
Wii looks okay on my 20 inch Bravia with component, but I cannot stand to play any of the Wii games that run in 480i. They look HIDEOUS, HIDEOUS, HIDEOUS on on an HDTV. I was so disappointed in Capcom for not making Basara 2 Heroes 480p. :maf Fortunately the PS2 version, while also 480i, can be played upscaled on a PS3 and not look so fucking horrible in HD.

::) ::) ::) ::)
You guys fucking suck. RE4 Wii is the definitive version. It has the best control and features, hands-down.
...It's just too bad that it was really an un-needed port of an already awesome game with great control. That said, it DOES still rock.
-
I tried lyte, I really wanted to get into it again, but the turning in RE4 Wii felt borked to me, and clunky. It was like RE4 GC finally made the tank controls work well, and then they had to go and shit it up just to show off that they still know how to shit up RE games.

Weaksauce.
The game doesn't get any where near the definition of hard until the last few comet and hidden stars if the last two galaxies.
110 stars in and its just become challenging 5 stars ago.

i've been saying this forever as well. to be fair, the wii looks "decent" on a high-end plasma. i finally upgraded my tv this x-mas to a 50" panny and the wii is more tolerable than it has ever been.
still, the wii is such a damn eyesore, AAA 10.0 awesome gameplay or not. there's only so much a graphics whore can get out of it.
-
I bet a Wii would look alright on my 27" SDTV
-
it looks godly on a 27" SDTV. :bow
-
I think I'm going to ring in 2008 by wasting money on a Wii.
Start the year off wrong.
-
might as well start as low as you can -- after a wii, it's all uphill!

Might as well get one now and invest for the future. The one console future. :bow

tomb raider wii has framerate problems
what in the goddamn fuck CD
-
I haven't seen Wii on an LCD HDTV yet but it looks more than fine on my plasma, the VC games look especially nice. That really sucks if the IQ is so low though on other HDTVs :(
-
tomb raider wii has framerate problems
what in the goddamn fuck CD
even the 360 version have framerate problems
i read it on gaf, eurogamer review i think?
-
i think i made sp0rsk a little sad this holiday season :'(
-
I said he was ugly in a thread he made lol.
-
drinky, no offense but you are wasting your time
play more 360 and forget the blind nintendo drones, they ain't worth it
-
formerly a dumbfuck admin, now just a dumbfuck
Oh, shit I just noticed this. Who gave it to him?
-
sp0rsk, note the lowercase and bitter lack of imagination
-
how? mods cant do anything
-
sp0rsk, note the lowercase and bitter lack of imagination
That's what I guessed, but I thought mods couldn't do that?
-
Wow. That tag is horribly unfunny and bitter.
-
is sp0rsk only a mod?
-
Yes.
-
Yeah, that's what it says on the forum leaders section, anyway.
-
No one's paying any attention to me in that thread, and I've been getting off some pretty good ones
-
best review ever

Hmmm do all Wii games have 16:9 support?

nurrrrp. Not all progressive scan either.
95%+ do.

metroid prime 3, zack and dicki, and super paper mario didnt do full widescreen for me, zelda and galaxy do

Yup, only Zelda, Mario Strikers and Galaxy here (Samsung 40" LCD)

-

I read the GAF version. I always love how there are so many people over there that freak out over your posts.

Thanks although I feel kind of bad. Making fun of die hard Nintendo fans is like kicking cripples.

Looks like evilbore has made its way into the GAF discussion. Kinda want to jump in but it's been fun watching. Does Segata Sanshiro post here? His post seems aware of this place's existence.
-
a lot of people lurk here, but don't post on account of probably being gay (a hallmark award for the gaming age forum)
-
bullshit, thread closed, and I had just finished typing up a response to Forgotten Ancient
I'll post it here
His story was also featured in an episode of House!
It sounds like people who miss out on EB are missing out on life itself. Pray tell, how do I join?!
just send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the google search engine care of "I am Evil and Bored," dropping "I," "am," "and," and the "d," then combining what is left into one word. Simple, isn't it? Premiere members of EB get a personalized wallet portrait of Buddy to carry with them always and preserve the special moment of their induction.
-
And after a compleely cryptic discussion about evilbore, the GAF thread was closed.
-
I was waiting for PD to tell you people to crawl back to your shit hole.
-
i liked beezy's response, haha, why didnt anyone come up with that sooner
-

I'm pretty sure that's why the thread was closed. :lol

Weird that sp0rsk was the one to bring up Evilbore.

That was pretty funny.

Didn't even see that EB talk until they closed it. Anyone know who closed it? sp0rsk?
-

Nah, he seems to be bring it up often now. He mentioned EB in a reply to one of my posts a day or two ago.

Sporsk, if you reading this thread:
You're living the hentai dream. I've only ever seen three pictures of you. In one you're all naked looking emo and shit. In the next one, you're surrounded by a bunch of Japanese schoolgirls. In the last one, you're wearing some sort of furry costume.
LIVE THE DREAM OF EVERY *CHAN PORN cigarillo EVERYWHERE SPORSK
EMBRACE THE NUDITY
EMBRACE THE CLUELESS, UNIFORMED BITCHES WITH GIANT TITTIES
EMBRACE THE FURRIES YOUNG VOLUNTEER, ORANGE AND PURE

Hitokage rocks.

sporsk pix?
No nudes please./

He's not jerking it in that nude or anything, and it isn't full frontal
he's got stones to do that given how brutal and unrelenting netfolk are, i'll give him that

Yeah, it really is a shame about the Wii image quality, not to sound all Jotardo.
Even on my high end plasma, the image looks soft and fuzzy. The 'desktop' looks horrible, games look decent. Super Mario Galaxy shimmers.
There are a LOT better things I can do with my tv rather than play wii, and this is coming from an ntard. It's just too bad, they should have supported 720p just to keep the hard core happy.
On that note though, I can't wait until the Wii2 plays my Wii games upscaled :-*
Of course, with as well as Wii is selling, I'd bet we get Colecovision-esque graphics next time. At least it won't be fuzzy!
-
hitokage is my favorite gaf admin
just awesome all around
-
I would throw my Wii in the St-Lawrence river from a bridge as soon as I finish No Mo Heroes, but Atlus is probably going to publish a few games for it in the next few years... good thing about Persona 4 on PS2, though
Ghost Squad is probably the second or third good Wii game, but it lasts some fifteen minutes, runs at half the framerate of the original Chihiro game's and slows down on cutscenes :(
-
the wii looks good on my 14" sdtv 8)
-
looks like ASS on a 1080p screen
the biggest hidden vice of this generation on all three console systems, by far
