lul im not even a Nintendo fanboy buttttttt
I'm going against the grain it looks like in this thread.
I like it, and I think it can open up a lot of cool possibilities. I'm rather glad that they will keep stepping in a different direction rather than just try to make a different version of something that already exists (PS and XBX).
The Xbox and PS consoles are just Pepsi and Coke to me. It really doesn't matter which I play because the quality of game, controls, and titles seem to be mirror images of each other (we have
both here in the house). Touching on the controls a bit further, if you dislike the Wii control so much, then simply buy the add-on controller.
And yes, there are a lot of gimmicky things you can purchase for the Wii, but you should understand the things you'll need if you are smarter than an 8 year old.
The Wii just doesn't compare to either because it's a different beast (for better or worse). Bottom line is that we have more fun on the Wii than any console in the house. If we have a party or get together you think my girl and her friends will want to get down on on some Street Fighter IV? How about some COD (yuck)? How about even being open to any games at all?
Shit no.
Let me bust out some Mario Party 8 or Wii Sports and then, gasp, watch people stop talking on the patio with drinks and come get down.
The Nintendo has a wider audience and it is definitely a lot more casual. That's why I like them a lot. I
like the touch screen. It opens up so many cool possibilities and it is going to trail blaze a new path. Much like the Wii did.
While Sony and Microsoft fanboys were hatin' their companies were cooking up recycled ideas that Nintendo had years before. Fact.
If you want really want to play games, then get a PC. I'd never give my PC up for a console, and anybody who acts like gaming is better on consoles is ignorant at best.
Bad Company 2? Yeah I'll play on PS3 with sub-par graphics and a map with six people in it.
Oblivion, Fallout, GTA? Yeah, that's totally not better on PC..
Want to play a great RTS? Let's load up the Xbox360 Elite! They have tons of great RTS titles!
Oh wait..
I mean I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on, but my main point is if you are
such a hardcore gamer mayng then why are you even fucking with shit consoles to begin with?
Nintendo is doing the right thing by not trying to get in a pissing match with Sony and Microsoft. They will continue to build a strong fan base for years due to their uniqueness. Meanwhile, console gamers will be jumping from ship to ship when the PS4 and Xbox 1080 are released.
Don't worry, if the Wii U has even a fair amount of success, watch for Sony and MS to be trying to "innovate" some shit. Like the Kinect or Move
You can take that to the bank.
I'll go with the Wii U and yall tell me how the Sony Vita is working out for ya (and that ATT contract)
Once again, I'm not even a Nintendo fanboy. I will say that consoles are good for one thing: Mother fucking fighting games.
PS: If you play CoD, I hope your fingers get permanently mangled by your dad's asshole.
