Probably Duckman, the nimrod who sold off his Wii and bragged about it to his fellow cheerleaders here.
Boom Blox is the only game worth playing on the Wii. Real Talk.

So when are you going to man up and pay DCharlie the $60 you owe him, booger?Boom Blox is the only game worth playing on the Wii. Real Talk.
No, that is Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom!

Good for Mario Kart and New Super Mario Bros, but why aren't there more videogames on that list if the Wii is doing so well? ??? ??? ???actually, Wii Play is the best selling game in the NPD's history (http://www.industrygamers.com/news/npds-top-10-best-selling-games-of-all-time/). All the way to the records they've kept since the mid-90's or so. MW2 could top it, but even if it does would it remain on top. Hard to say.
Anyway, the Wii doesn't have a single videogame that's sold as many units as Modern Warfare 2.

Whatever. I played that game and it was terrible. AAAAABBBBUpUpDownLeftRight whatever. Lame. Don't waste your money on it.
QuoteAnd the wii is low res everything, just like the beloved ds.
the DS is a handheld though , it gets a free pass.
The Wii has no excuses.
Nintendo cheaped out on their userbase - deliberately and with malicious intent. There was no reason the Wii couldn't be stronger beyond a desire to use the huge backlog of failed GC hardware contracts. Shameful that the fans swallowed their awful excuses whilst paying WAY over the odds for the tech - the complete reverse of the industry norm of paying less for tech and the manufacturing company recouping any loss on software.
"oh it's great business" ... indeed it is, doesn't mean that the userbase isn't full of apologist though does it?
"thanks nintendo for ripping us off, you crazy sales trend setters you! I said before you released the machine that all i wanted was to pay around $300 for the same machine that sells at around $30 in most stores!"
Wa waaa waaaaaaaaaaaaa
More clown boots for Wii fanboys please!
The DS is pretty fucking awesome, real talk.

i bought a wii because it was the cheapest console around so i don't understand these sort of complaint,you get for what you pay,admitely with all the price drops around that's not true anymore but if the price drop happened it isn't because microsoft and sony have a heart of gold and wants to give you more
I wonder if the Wii will outsell the Ps1 or Ps2.
It's tracking ahead of both right now compared to a similar point in their lifespans, but its momentum has slowed a bit, or at least it had until that ridiculous December, so it's by no means a sure thing.
Well, I laughed at least. I still want a US release of Graces...
well i cared before actualy playing the damn thing >:(Well, I laughed at least. I still want a US release of Graces...
Was there really anyone saying that about Crystal Bearers? I can't imagine anyone actually cares about that game.

Indeed it is. Best handheld ever.
Looking at magus's post, does Konami even exist anymore? It seems like they disappeared after MGS4 and the lolworthy Rock Revolution.
so two shitty pieces of plastic outsold two fantastic ones?
great news!

The Ds is one of the greatest gaming platforms of all time, there's no question about it.

They make MGS games and Winning Eleven games that don't sell. That's basically the entire studio.
Oh and they outsource Castlevania & Silent Hill to Eurodudes.

That is nitpicking.
I disagree.
DS is one of the best portables. Maybe the best. I dunno, GBA/PSP are pretty good too.
Compared to consoles though? :rofl
It's nitpicking to point out that Wii Play is a controller+demos?
I still think the DS idea and hardware kinda suck.
Two small (ignore XL) low-res screens instead of one large one is just impractical. Half the games try to use it as one large screen and fail because of the gap while the rest use it for stats or maps; in both cases, a single large screen would be be better. For me the hardware has always been uncomfortable; between the sharp boxy shape and how unbalanced it is, it doesn't feel natural to hold like pretty much every other Nintendo handheld or the PSP.
While it's not required, there are still a bunch of choices developers make on the DS that are almost never good. I'm talking about using the mic to blow into, poor touch screen controls, and trying to make a 3D game that isn't hideous. That said, there are so many good games for it that most of my problems become irrelevant.

Captain Rainbow really isn't that good of a game and would be very difficult to localize. You aren't missing much.i'd play anything with skip name on it,i just love chibi robo that much
MLB: The Show, superior version of GTA: Chinatown Wars, sequels to Patapon and LocoRoco, Motorstorm, Resistance: Retribution, LittleBigPlanet, decent Rock Band game, Soul Calibur, Tekken 6, Dissidia and Disgea 2 (if that's your thing), Monster Hunter, PixelJunk, etc.
Yeah, what an awful year for the PSP!
Pokemon needs a long holiday more than just about any other franchise, in my opinion. I'm with you on wishing Gamefreak got more chances to show their action game chops.
the ds is the worst thing ive ever bought, hell even the pocket pikachu was a better investment, knowing how many steps you took while in school is more compelling than the entirety of the ds' library

You're going senile again, prole; EOII was 2008.

More proof that the DS sucks. EmCeeGrammar, you'd be happy to know that the PSP also has superior versions of Space Invaders Extreme and N+.
Prole coined the term "gaming ghetto" just for the Nintendo DS. Never forget.
DS version has better multiplayer and music, PSP looks better - therefore the PSP wins. Graphics > DS
When ever you kids are ready to get out of the gaming ghetto, let us know and we'll recommend you some good games.
Devil Survivor - meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh to you. :maf
Lists should be a bannable offense. Argue without using them people.
Who the fuck is Phil ???
Damn, Beezy. You are still rocking a phat? That is truly ghetto.I don't see any reason to upgrade especially now since I'm not playing the thing. I wanted to when the Lite first came out, but I was broke and heard about everyone's hinge cracking. DSi selling for $170-180 has always been a joke to me.
Yeah, I agree. No more lists. Looking at that awful DS lineup makes me nauseated.
Wow. You are wet behind the ears when it comes to this business, aren't you? Explains your shitty taste in games.
Yeah, I agree. No more lists. Looking at that awful DS lineup makes me nauseated.
Serious question, do you like anything other than big budget uber-cinematic American games?
It's only the worst thing you've ever bought because you aren't used to buying great things, see bolded part.
::) I don't even care about the ds anymore, but the psp hasn't had anything noteworthy for damn, it seems likes years. Kingdom hearts? Peace Walker? Lemme guess, Rock Band unplugged made the system relevant again! m i rite?
PSP has been doing pretty good since the 3000 came out and made the system relevant again in Japan.
Ys7, KH, Peace Walker, Classic Dungeon, Zettai Hero, Prinny 2, Valkyria 2, Patchwork Heroes, Last Ranker - all original games and nothing to scoff at. I'd say right now (2009-2010) PSP lineup is beating the gunk out of the DS lineup.

That's not really fair, because Mass Effect 2 is so awesome. It's really more like Trials HD > entire DS library.
Have you played Mass Effect 2 booger?
The fact that a handheld's games is being compared to two HD console titles, one of which could be GOTY2010 (barring the 2010 release of Mario Galaxy 2 and Zelda Wii, of course), speaks volumes about that little handheld. Goddamn, the DS is so fucking good that fanboys are stacking console games against it.
It was actually tiesto who brought it up
Where is the official confirmation on Muramasa heading to Hollywood? Love the art, so I'm enough of a sucker that I'd buy it again.

nothing official..... yet. :-[
yeah, i haven't played too much of it, but i did get a fair bit through Odin. I simply can't imagine Odin being the better game.

Quotebut I think DQX will both stay on Wii and sell really well on it.
shhh.... i think it will too, but i can see the logic in throwing it on the DS given how well 9 sold.
no, Wii Play is a controller with a free/cheap demo disc, hence the sales
And yes it is a shame that Wii Sports was packed in with the Wii, Nintendo could have fleeced people for so much more money!
Have you played Mass Effect 2 booger?
Has that dipshit played the entire DS library, Kosma?
I have played Mass Effect 2 and i can easily say that it is overrated. SMT: Devil Survivor is more awesome. Atleast it held my attention to complete the game a couple of times. Heck even Dragon Age is better.wow
Nintard three hit combo
I hold the correct opinion that rpgs are trash no matter who makes them. You want to simulate conversation and make choices with consequences, GET A LIFE
Although I enjoy animal crossing too much to avoid being a hypocrite.
Playing a game like ME2 or DA lets you do stuff you could never do in life. Playing Animal Crossing on the other hand seems like some substitute for human interaction.if by human interaction you mean doing menial tasks to get carpets and wallpaper sure

Bro I love Devil Survivor but Erect 2 completely rubs it out like the cumstain it is.
Nice troll though.
People bitch at NSMBWii as 1980's design
Yeah. They say it isnt much better than The NES marios.
This guy is completely distinguished mentally-challenged.
I like Damian79. Unlike booger, he almost fooled me into believing he was serious.

FFS why not let me have a little bit of time before exposing me? I didnt like ME2 and it is because i found it boring because i found it no different than 100's of other rpg's, but i have played over 200 rpg's and that is pretty much all i play. So i doubt that many people enjoying the game could feel the same way about the game and i accept that it is a good game. But for me it is dull because i have been through thsi before in the form of other games in terms of the rpg elements(not the fps elements, i dont play fps games).
Just shut up. Shut your stupid mouth.

There has been to much drama and bitching in the vidya forum recently. :'(
Just shut up. Shut your stupid mouth.
Shut up about what?
Well, I for one am glad we can all put that burning question of which was Nintendo's best-selling system to rest. I'm gonna sleep like a log tonight, let me tell ya.

Deus Ex doesnt count because it is garbage. Any more though and I'm all ears.

Point.
How anyone could play 200 rpgs and pick out Mass Effect as the boring one is beyond me.
So in a nutshell you're just trolling
Ok thanks
What gave you away is trying to use NSMB as a counter-point when the entire point of NSMB is that it is like a game from the 80s. It's called New Super Mario Bros for a reason.
As for ME2, it was the dismissal of the shooter elements is since that takes away a huge draw of the game. It's like saying NSMB is a dull game because the card matching mechanic hasn't evolved in two decades (not the platforming elements).
