Wii is becoming more and more tempting

[suprafreak6]

Anyone else agree that the Wii is getting kind of tempting?:D

No, like all Nintendo products.. I believe they are designed for children. I really don't see why people are actually interested in the Wii. Nintendo mainly only produces games designed for ages 9 and under, which explains why I used to enjoy my N64 and Super Nintendo as a child, but not anymore.

i honestly only want zelda as of right now

No it is not tempting.

Nintendo wants users to spend more money for

1. A Xavix like remote controller

2. Gamecube 1.5 graphics

3. A minimal amount of good games like before.

They could have made the same controller for the GC and called it a day.

Now they are asking $200 dollars for it.

I think not.

i reckon i'll get one but things are looking less and less tempting to me. red steel looks more generic every preview. i've never been able to get into 3D zelda games and online will probably suck because nintendo won't carry anything through for online unless a five year old can do it and their parents don't get worried. third party support will probably be restricted too because EA is the great satan and if they push microsoft around, nintendo dont stand a chance

Playstaion 3 will be much better

Nah doesnt look tempting at all.

The thing is that I wanna play Zelda without the aiming shit. I'm sure there'll be games I like that use the hand waving and stuff but it doesn't warrant me paying 200+ dollars for it.

Personally, I think Nintendo is putting one over on many people.

Think about it, when you step up to a new system from the same company, the first thing you look for is considerable graphical upgrade.

The Wii doesn't deliver that. It just gives us a new peripheral. Well last time I checked, a new peripheral could be made for anything (like a Gamecube).

Now we get online. Well shit they should've done that ages ago.

Now we get an emulator. ** News Flash ** many of us have had emulators for years.

If you haven't a GC before, then I'd recommend the Wii quite easily. Otherwise, Nintendo can suck dick.

Funny too cos if bought a GC and then Wii, you'll have paid about the cost of a PS3 or 360 and the first 2 combined aren't better than either of the last 2.

^ Ya Im sticking with my Gamecube and gonna get a ps3 when I have the money or the price drops a bit.

meh, i look for decent games. i'd be bumming the 360 if it was down to graphics

Yeah, Nintendo makes some decent games but not enough to pay a 200+ start up cost again for it. They don't even have enough good games.

The PS2 was a much better value than the GC just for the shear number of good games that came out for it.

As I said before, my GC library sucks compared to each of my Xbox and PS2 libraries.

The best game that came out for the GC was RE4, hands down.

Ya your right, I have 2 gamecube games, supers smash bro's and RE4 vs my 20 games for ps2

Third parties will be way more involved this time around, owing to the lower development costs of the system (similar architecture to the Gamecube - or so I've read).

The impression I get is that a lot of people are turned on to a new way of controlling games (Sony is apparently working on a rip off - like they did with the analog).

The PS3 may be good, but I think a combination of
amount of games (for instance; ubisoft have 8 or so in production, and Sega recently cut down on their PS3 production in favour of the Wii)
price
design
online classics
++

... apart from the controller itself, will seriously cut into Sonys market share.

My two kroner on the subject. I need to cut back on gaming news :mellow:

Edit: It'll be my first console in 6-7 years. Zelda is partly to blame...
