Title: Whats going on with the Wii?
Post by: PyroMenace on Monday, November 17, 2008, 10:23:46 PM
I was wondering since all Im hearing about are 360, PS3, and even PC titles, but I havent noticed any Nintendo news. Im thinking they all suffocated as the bags of money relentlessly piled on top of them.

Nintendo's news: we made another Animal Crossing.  Except it's exactly like the other two.  Oh, and you should play Wii Music because it isn't completely worthless.  We swear.

Oh, and that Animal Crossing microphone?  Yeah, you have to pay separately for that.  And Animal Crossing is locked to your console if you do use the microphone.   But you should still do it because talking to your television isn't totally lame.

Locking the microphone to your console is the lamest thing Nintendo's done yet.  I think it beats the Virtual Boy.

No worthy Wii news.  Yes, they had to divert so much staff to counting the gargantuan piles of money that they can't make good games anymore.

Absolutely.  Every GC game I've tried so far allows progressive display through the component cables.  Looks wonderful and works like a charm.

Yeah. I have to agree here. The best time I had with the Wii lately was going through the Metroids again. I'm starting to suspect the best things I'll get out of the system during its lifetime will be playing through the Metroids yet again in a few years if those rumored re-releases of Prime 1 & 2 come out with upgrades and the time we all watched like five hours of Yi Gi Oh Abridged.

That night is forever etched upon my memory nearly as deeply as the time we played the Doom boardgame for seven hours.

Yeah, don't get me wrong - I'd take one and I'll probably get one at some point at least for Gamecube games, but the system has a retarded amount of shovelware on it.  I mean, so did the PS2, but at least the PS2 also had a shitload of fun games.
