should i buy a Wii

i always wonder what they're gonna do next.. i mean look at video game history

from shit like space invaders and paper boy

then suddenly N64 comes out, 3d.. proper 3d... imagine how excited everybody was about it (even tho its not so exciting now)

then ps1.. and it was like "OMG"

then ps2 xbox and gamecube... which turned it up a notch

now this.. with consoles like xbox 360 tht on plasma tv's.. look pretty much close to real life

its just every few years these companys will realease new consoles that are just turned up a bit.. but what are they going to do in the next few years? i mean its gotta stop at some point

and i dont know why people make such a big deal out of it too.. i mean, its a video game.. video games have been around for years.. only difference is the videos games look a little bit prettier.. lol, these companys make it such a hype that alot of people feel the need that they HAVE to have one.. its pretty lame imo.. im fine stickin with my old skool consoles for now myself

I want a Wii. But the news done a thing on it where people have been playing it and their hands get sweaty and the controller flying out of there hands and right into the tv. My husband would die if his prized widescreen had a controller right in the middle of the screen because I got carried away with myself while playing. But i still want it.

"The Classic Controller cannot be used to play games for the Nintendo Gamecube. According to the Nintendo Online Shop, the Classic Controller can only be used with Virtual Console games"

i take it by virtual console games it means old school snes and N64 games that you download from the console.

also another thing thats retarded.. on 360's you cant use old xbox controllers.. only the new ones.. my mate has a 360 but cant play it due to the controller bein broken.. its obvoius they only made it compatible with the new controllers so they can make more profit.. and the 360 can only play SOME xbox games.. what kinda shit is that?

and as physco said wii are just trying to make the controler the main part of the "hype".. the graphics on the wii dont even look that good.. hell the old generation xbox and ps2 look better then that shit.

Yeah, I read that after I posted...

But hey, you can also turn the remote sideways and use it like a controller. Thats how its used with some games in fact, like excite-truck.

atleast as long as they are designing games around this controller... imo the controller shouldn't be the spectacle of the Wii (which it is and we all know it is) nice technology, but you shouldn't really base everything off it... they should concentrate on making the games first, then deciding how the controller will fit into it all. the controller should be just a bonus to the system, not the basis for the whole system.

that was very well said man lol

hmm no fans here i see lol.

no matter i still want it and it plays gamecube games and i have a good amount of those, plus i like the interactive idea.

if i wanted to sit on my ass id would have already bought a Xbox360, PS3 just doesnt do it for me.

better sell some more guitar stuff to get an extra tv :D :D :D
