Yeah. Been playing Excite Truck, Mario Party, and all the sports games and I have to say this system is a lot less shitty than I thought it would be. It also helps that it's got such an attractive price. My arms are sore from playing the boxing game. What other games don't blow complete ass? Mortal Kombat was pretty bad. I want to try Twilight Princess.

It won't die on you a year later either. I plan on getting it when some major game like No More Heroes or Mario Galaxy comes out.

Btw, according to futami, the 360 isn't "true next gen" either.

duh, the only reason why this shit sells is because the system and the controller look like an Ipod

compactness and sleekness are features that are way more in demand than when the PS2 was being released in 2000...

A PS3 has a whole bunch of compelling exclusives, plus a very exciting year 2007 and loads of multiplatform gaming goodness. And it plays Blu-Ray discs, is extremely reliable, and extremely quiet, unlike an Xbox 360 which sounds like an hair dryer.

After 6 months now, I havent had any problems with my Wii. I really like the system, but the problem is the usual one for Nintendo consoles since the N64 - there arent any games. I own 2 games, and neither is a Wii game! Lolz. Zelda TP and RE4 are those games, BTW.

Excite Truck is trash. The only reason why Excite Truck is popular is because N-Tards are too adolescent to play a grown up arcade racer like Burnout.

yeah I had to get one for metroid.

For multiplayer games, Wii is by far the funnest system. You just don't get the same amount of competition and pressure when playing party games on the other systems or when playing online. A lot of the games are hard to figure out until you play them in multiplayer. More or less it's going to be something you KNOW you're going to need eventually because of the amount sold and it's actually worth the price if you want multiplayer or party games.

Candyflip · « **Reply #27 on:** July 05, 2007, 07:59:36 AM »

SSSB is a steaming pile of nostalgia-detritus of Nintendo's legacy-that appeals to the kind of person who never really got past the phase of watching the same three movies over and over and over as a kid.

Play a marble madness derivative (monkey ball is a good modern one, katamari is somewhat similar) or any Burnout games' crash mode instead. Way better.

You don't get good competition when playing games online? Elaborate, because I'm not buying it at all-my experience on the PC is that online gaming is totally cutthroat, and if you can't get good competition it's either because you've ascended to godhood at the game or no one is playing it anymore.

how so? it does look like last gen shit. first-person shooters are the one genre that hurts the most when the visuals are dated, and given how awful the previous two metroid prime titles were, can you blame me for being negative?

etiolate · « **Reply #32 on:** July 05, 2007, 04:30:28 PM »

You're assumptions on FPS games and graphical aging is that they all are based on realism, which Metroid obviously is not. The GC ones are still nice to look at for geometric design, style and effects. The new Prime 3 shots look better than the GC ones, with an angular and smoother look.

no, that's not my assumption at all. in a genre that goes for full-on immersion by placing you directly into the character, detail is tantamount.

Somewhat, I suppose. The big difference, at least to my eyes, is that Marvel vs. Capcom is first a fighting game, then a character/mascot nostalgia-fest. People don't buy it or play it because "OMG Wolverine slices things", they dig it because it's a fast, easy-to-learn, ridiculously over the top 2D fighting game. Smash Brothers, on the other hand, always felt more about the mascot showcase than the actual gameplay (which is both basic and boring, IMO).

Then again, you'll rarely see me speak well of any brand of gaming entertainment targeted towards the plebes and simpletons, so I might be missing something in my evaluation of Smash Brothers (I played the Gamecube version a bit when I borrowed it from a friend a long time ago. Wasn't impressed, as you could might tell).

tiesto · « **Reply #39 on:** July 05, 2007, 06:45:55 PM »

I bet most of you haters didn't spend more than an hour with Smash Bros and just shrug that shit off because "OMG nintendo is teh kiddy!" bullshit... the game gets to be surprisingly pretty deep... nothing quite as deep as frame-counting in VF5, or memorizing long-ass button sequences, but like hell you'll find 99.99999% of the populace who'd pick up and give VF5 a try, when the Smash series has much more universal appeal. Hell, Melee was one of the games they had for tournament play at Evo, the largest fighting game tournament in America. I think Melee is the perfect mix between pick up and play and hardcore and I am looking extremely forward to Brawl.

Yeah, can't say I agree. They both rely well known characters, yet both are also lauded for their gameplay. I'm not going to argue with you about which game is better, but I think its unfair to just brush of SSB as basic/boring. Yes, it's an easy, accessable game but at the same tiime, it's surprisingly deeper than most people give it credit for. You're nostalgia/mascot assessment would probably work better for something like Mario Party, which most people can agree isn't really good, and constantly gets lower reviews, unlike SSB.

Smash Bros is fun, but it's by no means a great game. I have no idea why it's ascended to some grand echelon of quality for Nintendo fans. Also, Metroid Prime 3 is likely going to be as bad as the previous 2 games because of it still using autoaim. And the visuals are unimpressive.

I had this dream when I was like 8 years old that there was a game based on Lucky Charms... and it was kinda like Mega Man, you had to get the different charms, and you can pick which charm to go after first, in a level select taken straight from the Mega Man games. A cereal mascot game would be amazing though, you could have the Trix Rabbit, Sonny, Snap/Krackle/Pop (kinda like the Ice Climbers), Tony the Tiger (I have a feeling he'd be a bit too overpowered), Count Chocula, the burglar from Cookie Crisp... holy shit I would so buy that game!
