Nintendo wii is interesting, but i think that in this moment its too early for buy it.
The grafic is maybe two or three time better than gamecube. The games for now are not so interesting and the control system are interesting but no so revolutionary because the games either are not. I'm waiting for ps3. I will buy the wii when a new Zelda will be released.
P.S: Sorry for my english, but i'm Italian.
PPS: There is someone that can speak Japanese?

Wii sure has the most unique controller but otherwise it isn't that great. Graphics are mediocre and there's no really great games (maybe Zelda but It's made with GC dev kit). PS3 seems to be the best console at the moment if you don't mind the price .

Most people do mind the price, considering the amount of unsold PS3's just sitting there in US stores right now, and the amount of sold out Wii consoles.

Plus they keep selling out with every new shipment, while the PS3's just keep piling up

Rick-e · « **Reply #128 on:** April 22, 2007, 12:02:20 AM »

how much is the Wii generally sold in the us? is it following the official price tag?
In my country we don't have shortages of Wii(have no idea where all those Wiis came from), but the price tag is quite high, around $400.. so I was thinking of asking one of my relatives who lives there to buy one for me..

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #129 on:** April 22, 2007, 10:33:59 AM »

400 USD? o_O

It's 250 USD in the US I think, I wish you good luck in getting one though, as they're still relatively hard to find.

Rick-e · « **Reply #130 on:** April 22, 2007, 11:14:24 AM »

^ yeah, a total ripoff, right? >_<
I contacted my relative today and he said the same thing, haha

he'll keep an eye out if one is available, though he said it's pretty hard to find one :p

Can't wait to get my hands on one xD

When will people understand that graphics don't make the game, its gameplay. Sure graphics are a plus but I would play a game that looks like crap and plays well than vice versa. The unique controller is the reason the gameplay is so great and killing both microsoft and sony even when there is a shortage of systems. Today's generation of gamers don't understand the gameplay concept. Look at the SNES/Sega Genesis era, those games had were more fun than some of today's great. I wish developers would go back to a time where they emphasized more on how fun a game was as compared to how pretty it looked.

Kind of revising this thread now, but I wanted to know so many months down the line, what games people bought / liked / disliked about the Wii.

I'm still running with my copy of Zelda and Wii Sports. Hoping to go out and buy some more games after my coursework is done.

I finally got to play it a while back but wasn't as impressed as so many other people. I don't care about how "cool" the controller is. Moving around versus pressing buttons doesn't really matter to me. When I get into a game, it's not like I'm thinking about it as just pressing buttons. Some of the games were fun to play, but I wouldn't say that they were worth buying the system for. It's still early though. I hope some REALLY good games come out for it soon. It seems like the DS. The games coming out at first are good, but the stylus/Wiimote doesn't feel like it makes the games any better. But hopefully developers will come up with better stuff soon.

I heard that Guilty Gear Accent Core is gonna come out for Wii and will support the old controllers but will also have Wiimote support. I wanna see how this turns out. It'll probably be cool for just casual play. There's a lot of button combinations in GG so I'm curious to see how they will do it.

I read somewhere that Manhunt 2 was banned in the UK(?), then suspended in the US because of the rating. Anyone know if it will still be on the Wii? I didn't like the first game that much, but I think it would be fun to play on the Wii.

imo, neither ps3 nor wii has a killer app yet.
they both have wonderful technology (graphics and controls respectively) but it's not really harnessed yet.
i guess the best use i've seen of the wiimote is warioware. but though it's fun and funny it's not a WOW game. let's wait....

fsw · « **Reply #135 on:** July 06, 2007, 05:30:02 PM »

I'm thinking about getting Super Paper Mario. To be honest, pretty much all 3rd party developers have admitted that their use of the wiimote has been poor.

I'm however also thinking of getting Resident Evil 4 for the Wii as I've enjoyed it so many times!

Still looking forward to super smash brothers!

vergil83 · « **Reply #136 on:** July 07, 2007, 07:04:35 AM »

Same here. I'm getting a Wii for Resident Evil 4 and Umbrella Chronicles. Resident 4 is for the Wii remote experience while Umbrella Chronicles is exclusive to Wii only.

storyboard · « **Reply #137 on:** July 07, 2007, 07:14:11 AM »

Super Paper Mario is a pretty good game...keeps you busy for awhile haha. I just got Mario Party 8 and all i gotta say about that is...it's a pretty good party game

. The games in Mario Party 8 kinda get boring and aren't as great as the previous Mario Party mini-games, but it still has it's fun factor.

fsw · « **Reply #138 on:** July 07, 2007, 08:48:45 AM »

At the moment, whenever I get together with friends I'm always asked to bring the Wii along now, it's just so much fun!

That's why I'm keen on the multiplayer battle games!

Rick-e · « **Reply #139 on:** July 08, 2007, 05:02:21 PM »

guys I'm thinking of buying a wii, but want to know if i have to use an LCD tv to play it with. I currently only use a 29 inch flat tv with component input. will that do?
