should i buy a Wii

[TokinAsianGuy]

i'm going to get it one to have in my lounge room for when my mates come over. i like to entertain and stuff, so quite a few people drop by to hang out.

the Wii is simple and practical. pick up and play.

although i'll also pick up the ps3 just to play mgs4. (i only bought the ps2 to play mgs2).

I will get a wii. Maybe not this xmas, but def by xmas next year. I've been waiting for the Wii for what feels like years. I've stopped playing my PS2 just because Ive played all the games. I dont want an xbox or PS3 because again, I've played all of the games. Might be a new character, but they're all either an fps, or a platformer or just a button masher. Same game, same controls, same bosses. just Diff sounds and graphics. The Wii is the next level in gaming. The xbox and PS3 are on the same level as thier prior units, they're just standing on a step-ladder wearing a costume claiming to be something new.

Wii reminds me of the snes action pad or w/e that stupid thing was for track and field, seems more like a gimmick than the newest Nintendo, kind of silly imo, people don't want to be interactive, they want to sit on their asses and kill shit

well i picked up a 26" hdtv for my dorm room on black friday...had to go for the xbox 360 to take advantage of the 1080i. I think the Wii is a cool idea, but nintendo really shouldve gone further with the graphics. I mean the original xbox can do 720p, and the Wii does the same resolution as the gamecube.

has anyone played a wii?

sapossedly they are going to put out a regular controller. i'm realy thinking about grabbing a wii. Cause i'm not shelling out all that money for an xbox 360, my buddie has one and it's tight and all but they want WAAAYYY to mutch money for it,

No, save your money and buy a PS3 .

Buy a Wii. They are so fucking fun to play when you are high.

The problem is that us gamers who have been around since tha atari/nes days are sick of just sitting around not moving. We have shit like high blood preassure and bills to worry about now. Plus we don't all 5 hours of dedicated time to play a game. For me and my buds, geting to play wii golf or bowling may be the closest thing we we get to doing the real thing for a while. The wii might not have the best graphics, but I don't have an HD tv and don't plan on getting one soon (unless I win the lotto) so the Wii is fine by me. I see the PS3 and xbox as being the next thing you see in a celebs care, but for the every day joe with kids and other problems. a wii will the the easiest choice. It's cheap, kids friendly, fun, and oh yea did I mention cheap?

i just dont' like Wii... period. sure it's a good price for a new system and all, but i've seen what i has to offer and i really don't like it, even more so now that i've seen quite a few diffrent titles in play.... i've also seen how retarded people look while playing the game... i'm sorry, but whoever i see playing with a Wii just reminds me of a mentally challanged 10 year old... i probably wouldn't have a whole lot of problem with the Wii, if it weren't for the controller, i really dont' like it's design and how it works to begin with, then second of all this controller really does limit the interaction between games and stuff, sure if you're reeling in a 10lb fish you're gonna have to swing the controlller harder then if you were reeling in a 5 lb. fish, but that's about the level the interaction stops... i'm into games like prince of persia, god of war, medal of honor, you know fps and puzzle games... and with a controller design like that, it would really limit the in-game capabailities.

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.

I don't think you get that the controller is the entire concept of the system... I've played a demo, and it's fun as hell, I could see it being a favorite past time of stoners, it has to be great whilst high.

And it being bad with FPSs? Yeah, who would want to be able to aim the gun like an actual one, rather than moving the view with sticks?

Don't get me wrong, I love normal video games, but this new system is great fun.

Shit, if I had an extra 300 layin around, I'd get it, but I'm happy with my 360 for now.

No, save your money and buy a PS3 .

PS3 is pretty shit man, sorry.

Graphics are no greater than 360, and so many of the games are on both systems. I guess if you really want a Blu ray player for cheap (600 is cheap..lolllll).
