Wii Thread?

BusterK

I can

DJ Eebs

I still haven't beat Zelda and I bought a wii at launch

I did beat ultimate alliance though

Garlic Bread

I tried to play Ultimate Alliance but the camera started spinning all out so I said "Fuck, I'll wait until I get a 360"

Kevar

"Simply: it's brilliant - and one of the best games we've ever played." - CVG on Super Paper Mario

can't wait until April 9th. been kinda disappointed with Wii .. not playing it much, but Super Paper Mario will make it all better

As7

You know how to control the camera right?

It's actually quite intuitive if unless you have someone else fighting you for an angle.

Menace

yeah, the nunchuck controls the camera thing is pretty bad

CrossBuster

I love it when someone says something perfectly rational, yet slightly critical of Nintendo in G&T. The screams of "TROOOOOOOOLLLLL" can be heard for miles.

I love my Wii, but it would be nice if there were more than one game out that I felt was worth purchasing.

Zek

Super Paper Mario is going to be rad.

BusterK

Oh and I finally bought Jungle Beat
Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I haven't even bought Zelda yet

Garlic Bread

the wii right now is just "play games you played last year! now with 100% more awful control scheme!"

or "we just heard the Wii is actually selling and we made a game based off the first idea we thought of! plus: travel back in time with our 2001 graphics!"

Anime Owns

God, I can not wait for that game.

I'm gonna do the combo jumping forever and ever just to see the shy guys cheer me on.

the problem is you often forget that it does that and relax your hand, so it starts spinning

I fully expect the majority of excellent Wii games to be Nintendo titles for the first year or so. After that maybe we'll start to see some results from games that started development post-E3, i.e. when the Wii started to look pretty awesome.

Garlic Bread

look, i get that "graphics aren't everything"

but they do make a game more fun if they look good

and just because they're not the selling point doesn't mean you ignore them completely

basically, every system in the first few launch months

not that I disagree. lot of shit coming out for the system. but oh well. Trauma Center and Zelda are basically the best games on the system. there's a bunch of mediocre stuff, and maybe one or two of those will really appeal to someone .. like, I liked Elebits pretty well .. but yeah. super paper mario is the only must-have since Wario Ware or Zelda & Trauma Center back at launch.

but it's so easy to port those psp textures

Graphics don't matter unless the Gamecube version of a game has superior graphics.

See: Resident Evil 4

Captain Cthulhu

I honestly just don't have a problem with wii graphics. I mean, most of the stuff I want to play on it realy doesn't rely on graphics anyway, or at least nothing beyond the already great cartoony 3d look. Games like Trauma Center and Warioware really don't call for the most intense of graphic capabilities.

look

i love cartoony styles

but not when that's the only style that doesn't look like microwaved shit

and yeah, it's all "it doesn't have to look pretty!" and then you look at 360/PS3 games and think "oh wow, wii games look awful"

I remember when someone made a thread specifically calling them on that point.

Will you be getting Battalion Wars when it comes out?

maybe

maybe not

I never played the first one

Garlic Bread

and the games they port to Wii aren't even the ones that would work well

Killer 7 was fucking terrible but would be all right on the Wii

I enjoyed Geist a lot but it looked like shit, so maybe have Retro make Geist 2

BusterK

You should give it a try
It's pretty good
I'm playing it on my Wii

AHH!

Yeah my Wii is just there in case I feel like watching Youtube and not get off the couch.

Bloods End

Apparently the Wii Godfather game's motion controls actually add to the experience, and they throw in more missions and weapons and stuff.

I get scared when EA does good things.

Yeah, I mean, I know its just me, but I just personally only have a wii for the games I can't get anywhere else, which are pretty much just the cartoony ones.

Yeah

It's like "Oh hey, the Wii version of that could have fun controls! Nope, it doesn't! Might as well get it for 360."

all of G&T going "OMG NIGHTS FOR WII IT'S GOING TO BE SO AWESOME OMGGGGG"

maybe like 5 people actually played the first one

Captain Cthulhu

I"ll buy it. I played the crap out of the first one. I loved sega saturn, even though I didn't buy it until the price dropped to like $20 and the games were going for $5 a piece. But played the crap out of Nights, Virtual On and Last Bronx, those were some bitchin' games.

Dely Apple

If the console's shit then why can't I even find one (two) to reject!

because Nintendo apparently learned to advertise effectively

Keith, I will buy you sushi or give you hugs or something.

I saw this thread (at three pages! how did it get that big without me seeing it?) and I was like "hmm, I wonder if the novelty/fad has worn off enough yet that I won't be the only one pointing out the glaring flaws" and then I come in here and you are saying some hilarious stuff. :^: duder!

Bloods End

I'm really bad at saying when graphics are good.

Like I can't really tell the difference between Gears of War and Halo 2.

Unless it's 64 graphics it all looks the same to me.

Garlic Bread

i notice the flaws in everything


everything but myself

Mortal Kombat was supposed to be out by now

I'm quickly running out of things to do in DBZ

Mortal Kombat is supposed to be out in May I think.

It looks really cool. You pull off all the special attacks with the Wiimote or you could even vouch to use the GameCube or Classic Controller if you want to.
