Post by: GilloD on July 17, 2008, 11:06:52 PM
Genius business or not, marketing or not, GAMING or not- I hadn't seen that Wii music demo until now. It was an attack on all thinking persons the world over.

I am sorry.

I'm selling my Wii.

Dead Rising Wii and Wario Land are not compelling enough to keep this useless white iBrick in my place.

Honestly, who cares.

I presume you have another console or a PC in which case the Wii will serve the same role most Nintendo consoles do - an occasional distraction when something neat comes out.

Sell your Wii now.  You should still be able to get near retail price with the shortages.  Just put up an ebay auction tonight, it'll take less than 5 minutes.

I haven't given Nintendo a dollar since SNES and probably never will again.  I'm against everything they bring to the table.

I would love to sell my Wii, but I'm too attached to Mario Galaxy, and about 10 of the Nintendo classics that I've bought on the virtual console.  I love not having a NES, SNES, and N64 sitting around my house.  I've got them all on this compact little machine.  So I guess those are my only reasons for ever keeping the thing around at this point.

Hey man, this system will never leave this household. That became obvious the moment the wife was enjoying WiiSports with her folks. The annoying thing is that I walked into the store that day to buy a 360, and came out with a Wii. Never shop for video game stuff with women. :(

Indeed. You're pretty much screwed.

Nintendo is awesome if you buy their consoles 4-5 years after launch. Plenty of shit to play, cheap prices, plenty of reviews to determine the wheat or the chaffe.

Not entirely.  Nintendo has essentially blown its load for their major titles.  It is unlikely that Mario Galaxy 2 will come out for the Wii.  There will probably be another Zelda, maybe Metroid Prime 4.  At any rate, the reason why I wanted to sell it off is that I've essentially played everything that I wanted to play on it.  The only two titles on the horizon I'd care about is Dead Rising, Mario Baseball 2, and Wario Land.  Word is that the latter is very short too.

The Wii's cost to benefit ratio is reaching near zero.

Yeah, Fatal Frame 4 is the only game I'm getting for the rest of the year as far as I know (I think it'll be awesome :hyper).

It's pretty poor, but again, I would have thought people who own Nintendo consoles since the N64 would be used to this by now.  It will probably change one day as everything in this industry does, but this gen is looking like business as usual.  At least the console was cheap (relatively).

I would agree.  I've never viewed the Wii as a primary console, so I guess that why I'm not too disappointed.  Since N64 days I have abandoned any illusions of quality and consistent third support on Nintendo consoles, but that's not say I have not enjoyed their offerings.
Title: Re: Guys I am so sorry for defending Nintendo
Post by: Oblivion on July 18, 2008, 06:00:41 PM
Does it matter if the Wii gets good third party games? Then people would just bitch about how their favorite third party games are being ruined by waggle and last gen. hardware.

Gamecube aside, Nintendo software has been generally great enough that imo it would be worth getting that particular console. Everything else I would want, I'd be getting on the other platforms anyway, since I would generally own most of the consoles each gen. Considering the vast gap of difference in tech between the Wii and the PS360, there's even MORE of a reason that it's probably for the best that those good third party games don't come on the Wii.

1) Don't own a PC.  Only have a Mac.

2) I want to play them on my nice tv.  They look very nice through the virtual console at 480p.

3) I don't feel like messing with emulation bullshit.  Does this version work better than that version?  Oh, this one has weird graphic glitches.  I guess I'll download this other version.  Oh, that one has other bugs.  etc.etc.

Sell it and don't look back.  Take the profit you make off the system and enjoy some real gaming on PS3, 360, and PC.  Let the Nintendo fanboys snicker in the corner talking about sales charts when they are dieing on the inside seeing Nintendos triumphant comeback involved with shit they really couldn't care less about.  But put on a brave face soldiers! 
Title: Re: Guys I am so sorry for defending Nintendo
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on July 18, 2008, 09:22:33 PM
Emulation these days has never been easier.  I remember when Ultra HLE, the first N64 emulator worth a damn came out (1998 I think).  You had to deal with so much bullshit that it would take nearly an hour (provided you knew exactly what you were doing; if not, it was much longer) to get it set up to play Super Mario 64 at 15 fps.

Now even the most cutting edge emulators are very simple.  It basically does all but hold your dick when you piss.  All you do is load it up, determine the control setting, and you're there.

Sell it and don't look back.  Take the profit you make off the system and enjoy some real gaming on PS3, 360, and PC.  Let the Nintendo fanboys snicker in the corner talking about sales charts when they are dieing on the inside seeing Nintendos triumphant comeback involved with shit they really couldn't care less about.  But put on a brave face soldiers! 

The only way I would like Nintendo's sales is if I owned considerable amounts of their stock and bought it before 2004.  I'm not talking the GAF investor amount of 100 shares or less, I mean $100,000+ worth.

For regular gamers?  Who gives a fuck about sales except to see the butthurt behavior of the fanboys of other systems, which means fuck all in the greater scheme of things.
