The General Chatter Thread.

Thank you for ignoring everything I said and then acting dumb when ty4 posted.

Hush, children. Especially you badger.

Quiet, you vomitous mass. This is a discussion.

VB is right, the amount of shovelware is ridiculous, but some of the third party games are gold - pointing at RE4, Goldeneye, House of the Dead.
Koss is even more right with his post.
Finally, Wii fanboys? No. Just logical people. I am a PC gamer (not that I'm proud of the image PC gamers seem to put across), I have a Wii, I often play on a 360, it's not a fanboy thing. We're just not short-sighted and completely biased.

[Chaosmancer]

If you say that the Wii was a good console you have something wrong with you. I assumed that it made a loss because if you want to put a half-decent hardware in your console, you have to make a loss on the console.

Actually no, I'm perfectly healthy, but thanks for the totally unnecessary insult. Assumptions get you nowhere. The Wii was a great business move by Nintendo as it was more affordable than it's competitors and was more family friendly. There are many more families than there are 1337 HXC GAM3RZ like you. I like the other consoles too, I'm not biased, it's just kids like you who think that SPECS = ERRYFIN' AND GMAEZ MUZT B REELISTIC N BLOOD that really **** me off.

Specs aren't everything, but when your specs are so poor that game devs don't even bother to develop for your console, you have a problem. On top of that, the wiimote was so insufferably bad that the only game that I ever played that worked with the wiimote is SSBB, and that ignored motion control. And it was still 10x better to use the classic controller.

>Game Devs don't bother to develop
>At least 1000 games (I think the last thing I saw listed said something like 1221, including all Japanese exclusives)

And I'm pretty sure that there were quite a few games that didn't use motion control (excluding Virtual Console ones), that barely used the motion control at all, or that allowed you to not use motion control if you decided you didn't want to.

And to be fair, you weren't repped down for having an opinion, you were repped down because you were (and are still) being an insufferable berk and going 'THIS IS MY OPINION AND IT IS RIGHT! YOU ARE WRONG AND STUPID FOR HAVING A DIFFERENT OPINION TO ME!' as well as making ill-educated accusations just because you don't like something.

it seems to me that they're the only ones who really got it right and got it working.

Well, I will say that the Eye Toy for the PS2 was pretty fun, in my opinion, even if it was quite easy to cheat (especially that window washing minigame, where you could just shake the camera and win). And Eye of Judgement for the PS3s camera was quite cool.

When you're paying £180 for it, I expect it to be damn near perfect first time.

The PS3 and Xbox were far from perfect, both cost more than the Wii, and both had hardware faults that caused the console to die (Red Rings of Death and Yellow Light of Death (the latter of which caused all data to be lost because the PS3 requires any newly inserted hard drive to be completely reformatted). If I remember rightly, the Wii had that WiiConnect24 issue that could brick the console, but I'm pretty sure that was fixed rather quickly (honestly can't remember).

Also, I'm kinda pround of getting a Wii fanboy flamewar going 6 or 7 years after it launched. Well done guys, well done.

You say 'Wii fanboy' and yet I'm pretty sure all people in this argument have owned/played a PS3, 360, or both, and enjoyed it a lot, as well as enjoying what they played of the Wii. So you have just succeeded in started an argument, go you.

I play on anything and like different games from different systems.

just bought the Nintendo 3DS XL. The  last time I bought a nintendo console was the Gameboy Advance SP. But why do I have to buy the charging cable for 10€ seperatly? Nindendo became really stupid.

WTF?  Mine came with the charger.  Nintendo must not like Europe.  I've been looking at the games library, and I think they've finally announced some games that would compel me to buy a Wii U; Game & Wario and Pikmin 3.  I'll probably wait till a price drop or the newer version, but a new Paper Mario would get me to buy it in a heartbeat.

I might wait til pkmn b/w2 are a bit cheaper. I saw golden sun for 20€ but I bought the DS XL with monsterhunter in a pack and thought that`s enought money spend for the day

He hasn't.

[123savethewhales]

Last I check around 50% of the population are female, and they are much more drawn to those silly motion sensor wii games than a typical FPS.
