Well there's opinions and really stupid statements. I know what I'd classify the above quote as.
crikies, upset are Wii?
You prefer a controller over the mouse and keyboard for FPSs?
have since i played my first FPS on a PS2. i have tried many times since, but it just does not feel as natural with anything other than a joypad.
now i know i could perhaps use a joypad on the PC, but that is not the only advantage the 360 brings to games for me this gen.
The quality of first party Nintendo games always shows through and they always feel fresh.
nothing about Mario Galaxy felt fresh to me, it just felt like the next level on from Sunshine and that felt like an updated Mario 64. nothing wrong in that as i thought Sunshine was the better of the 3. it's just that Nintendo have made the game so easy (perhaps for it's wider audience) it became boring for me long before i had reached 20 lives.
the Zelda game lacked a 2nd analogue stick big time, although i do like and also think that Paper Mario and Wario are the 2 best Wii games so far.
After getting a Wii at launch, personally the novelty of it wore off very quickly.
It's a good laugh with a bunch of mates or when you've got your family over your house - but other than that my 360 gets more attention.
i love that the Wii gets people playing a game who have never cared for gaming, but it's Sport's, Cooking Mama and Wario that they are interested in and the problem they suffer from is that they try it at mine for an hour or so, love it, buy one and within weeks realize that with out other people to play, it becomes boring.
i bought a Wii to play the likes of Mario just as i had the SNES, N64 and Gamecube. but as i say above, they are now making the games much easier to appeal to it's new market that i fear this will be my last Nintendo console.
I'm not saying its a bad console, just that I haven't used it as much as I would have expected.
same here.
My girlfriend loves it still, I've pretty much persuaded most people in the office to get one and they all love theirs too.
again, mostly same here, although it's the wife and 2 daughters that use it most in our house.
Nintendo have successfully made a family friendly console, that can't be denied... but is it something that will keep the kids coming back to it for more and more? Like the PS2 did for many kids, or the MegaDrive/SNES/NES did for the generation before that?
so far, they keep coming back to Sports and Galaxy. although since Wii got Singstar on PS3, that gets the most use of late and i know from the amount of songs they have downloaded recently what will be getting hammered the most between now and new years day.
