10 signs that deep down, you really want a Wii

Posted Nov 25, 2007 at 8:18PM EST by QJ Staff

Nintendo Wii - Image 1It's no secret that Nintendo's hot-selling Wii console is a commercial success and is a big hit with casual gamers. However, it still doesn't seem to have won over the hearts of hardcore gamers as it's continually dismissed by some as a child's plaything.

Sure enough, those who take genuine interest in the Nintendo Wii are discouraged to get one for fear of being made fun of. If you want a Wii, there's really no reason to be ashamed of it. Its content orientation may differ from traditional gaming models, but that doesn't mean it isn't as much fun. We therefore suspect that underneath all that fanboy angst against the Nintendo Wii is a soft spot in ever hardcore heart. What are the symptoms? Consider these:

1. You're wondering what CQC in Metal Gear Solid games would be like with a Wiimote.

2. You can't tell any of your friends, but you're secretly thinking how much cooler Time Crisis games would be with a Wii Zapper.

3. Your first reaction when you saw Wii Sports Boxing was "Man, that could really work in Fight Night Round 3!" then you looked around to see if anyone heard you.

4. You get that "funny feeling" whenever you hear the old Legend of Zelda tune.

5. You're holding back a nostalgic grin every time Mario says "Mama Mia!"

6. You're getting sweet dreams of brutalizing Pikachu and Kirby in Super Smash Bros. Brawl at least once a week.

7. You've already made plans to buy a Nintendo Wii, and in the event that some of your friends discover that you did, your excuse is "But I just want to find out how Umbrella went down in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles!"

8. If you ever get caught playing Cooking Mama, your excuse will be "But those guys in Iron Chef are so manly!"

9. You're trying to convince yourself that the only reason you like Metroid Prime 3 is because Samus is so damn hot.

10. You keep telling yourself that if all else fails and the hardcore gaming community still doesn't think it's cool, you can always give the Nintendo Wii as a gift to your mom. Of course, you never will.

Wow. Oh, yeah. You guys are hardcore. You're so macho and awesome that you HAVE to play games that have you shooting people and objects to gain points. You think people take so much stock into what games you play that they'll automatically assume that you're gay because you don't always play "SHOOTAN GAEM ON THE X360 OR PSTRIPPLE XVII" for hours on end. At the very least, Wii Sports makes you get up and have FUN. You remember what FUN is, you fat roadsign-shooting pillocks? Or maybe you were all just big-boned as kids that you just thrived on the couch while stuffing your cheeks with crap. Yeah, yeah, the Wii has stupid graphics but ***** if it isn't fun.



Yeah, the Wii is a toy. JUST LIKE ALL OTHER CONSOLES. They *****ing let you play games on them. But no, you say! YOU want a media center! The PS3 has high-definition Blu-ray! Yeah, as if that makes any *****ing difference from a decent HD-DVD title. Or maybe you're one of those people who spend dollars making sure that the audio is just right, or there's no sort of visual noise when you're watching a movie. Fine, I can dig that. But what the *****, Mister Common Sense. How is it Common Sense to buy a console that pretends to be another thing entirely, and abysmally *****s up in both categories?



Let's look at the supposed pros of the PS3. First, it's supposed to have absolutely fantastic graphics. Second, it has Blu-ray disc reading capability, so games should not only be richer but also longer and offer more gametime. Plus the revolutionary SIXAXIS motion-detecting movement should offer a new way of playing games. Is that all, or do I have to mention the fact that it acts like the tube sock you shove down the front of your pants for all the girls to think that you're actually worth attention? No? Then let's look at what the PS3's pros really work out.



First, the graphics. Yes, they're beautiful, and the current games for the PS3 are nothing short of that. But what the ***** is up with all the screen tearing, pop-in and glitches in the games out for the PS3? I'll call to your attention some high-profile titles - Assassin's Creed, LAIR, Uncharted. What the hell, man? This is supposed to be next-gen. Why is it so hard (and noticeable) for this Cell Processor-powered beast to render its graphics?



Second - Blu-ray disc reading capability. Yeah, games are more rich and vibrant. But hey, good luck if you plan to get more than a day's worth of gametime on the titles currently out for the PS3. I'm not even going to talk about Uncharted or Heavenly Short.



Third: Motion-sensing controls with the SIXAXIS. Read: LAIR. End of story.



I won't address the other statements you made (because, well, that's entirely your taste, but even then they reak of the utmost *****gotry), but consider the fact that the Wii does what it advertises and more. It doesn't advertise that it will change your precious gamer image, nor does it advertise a mindblowing experience that will leave you jizzing all over your Sony Fanboy pajamas. Nope, all it's offering is give you a fun time PLAYING games, and that's what it does (as all objects of amusement - NAMELY TOYS - do). Does Sony do that? No.



And before you ask, I have all three consoles. The Xbox 360 is currently cooking the Mass Effect disc, the Wii on almost permanent Super Mario Galaxy mode, and the PS3 is...doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.



That said, enjoy your virginity! I'm sure some girl will be impressed by your Sony paperweight.

1, 3, 5, 7, 8 - I'm married. 2 - I'm a frat boy. 4 - I enjoy playing PC/MAC games online. 6 - Mario Galaxy has plenty of polygons. 8 - I wasn't aware that the Wii has a "overclocked" CPU. 10 - I don't live with my parents.



It's lame ass gamers like you that play games to "be cool" and to "have friends" than to play games because of their content. I would hope that playing your console of choice makes you feel like a "manly man", instead of going on a post and insulting others, but I could be wrong.

Why couldn't a Metal Gear came come to Wii? Wasn't the first Metal Gear game on the NES? It's unlikely, but if the PS3 doesn't up it's lackluster sales, why wouldn't Konami move somewhere else?



Also, unless you have a CRT TV, how can you have a game that uses a Light Gun? Doesn't have defeat the purpose of having a HD console? The Wii gets over this obsticle by using a pointer.



Seriously, there are WAY more games to play than Wii sports, but it seriously is the only game that I have bought in decades that is always getting constant play, while other titles end up collecting dust on my shelf.



I'm sorry that Mario doesn't sound like Vin Diesel, or colin farrell, but basing a games value on how "manly" the voice is dumb as hell. This also has nothing to do with storage limitations, a console does not need a blu-ray disc for voice acting, just look at the voice acting on the XB360 that uses the same DVD9 disc as the Wii.



Any console that plays "games" will always be a toy like Captain_King has stated, but Nintendo doesn't pretend to be something else. I have been a gamer for over 20 years, since when I played the ColecoVision, NES and Sega Master System up till now, and I DO NOT HATE THE Wii.

8. Yea, it's an overclocked gamecube.

# The *****?Billie 2007-11-26 07:31
Dude, you ever heard of a bachelor pad? Isn't it a place where dudes live together and throw huge parties with lots of females? A frat is just that, but I assume your lack of any real world experience has stunted your growth. I mean you can't honestly say that guys who live with other guys in college is gay.



By claiming that I am gay because you think you know who I am just shows how much of a little sh*t you are. So piss off, and again to get back on topic, could you provide me with evidence that the Wii is a "overclocked" GC?

# I know but...Billie 2007-11-26 09:45
I agree with you with new generations come better graphics, sound, etc., but it seems to me that gameplay and new features are pretty low on your list. While the Wii is not up to par graphically or powerwise (This is getting old by the way), it makes up for it with new features, gameplay, which you mentioned on your list but always fail to give Nintendo props for.



I also agree that the PS3 is making a comeback in terms of sales, but I don't understand how it can be considered a "Strong Comeback". All Sony did was lower it's price. It has a few choice games, but again this is besides the point of the article.



While there are no worthwhile RPGs or Racing Sims available, chill out, the Wii is barely a year old. The XBOX took forever to get it's good library, and the PS3 is also looking like it is going to take some time. But dude Medal of Honor is a sweet FPS, too bad you wouldn't try it out. Also, compared to the price points of the XBOX or PS3, how is the Wii being sold at FULL price?



Also what is wrong with redefining a "gamer"? There isn't even a real definition of "gamer", nobody can ever give me a straight answer to what this means, so why not make anybody who wants to play a gamer? It's more fun then having an elite club.



Dude, it's also "Billie", and to be honest, my defenses usually have nothing to do with the Wii. I wouldn't give a rats ass if you came on here saying the Wii is garbage, Sucks, is a waste of money, graphics suck, etc, but I and others get defensive when you call us, idiots, wii-tards, morons. This is just hate speech that has nothing to do with the consoles or the post itself. While I cannot speak for Mr Cmmune 1st, I think that you should try just sticking to the material instead of mouthing off like a internet tough guy.



Just curious, based on your "Rock Band" argument, does this mean that the Wii will be fun to you once Rock Band comes to Wii? Also it's Harmonix's problem that they released a buggy Guitar Hero on Wii, not Nintendo's. But then again it doesn't matter, you hate the Wii, and no matter what comes out on it, how well it does, or how much fun majority of the population has on it, it will never matter to you.

# sorry billiejrm125 2007-11-26 09:53
My "lack of real world experience" as you call it....sorry but I went to college, had friends, met plenty of girls. Didn't need a bachelor pad and living with men isn't gay, but sorry, frats are. If you need to buy people to spend time with and meet girls with, then hey, that's you're prerogative. And if you enjoy the highly gay activities frats engage in, more power to you. No stunted growth here, just a person who was able to handle a social life that didn't require a checkbook and homoerotic attitude.



As for the Wii/Gamecube debacle:

Sounds to me like you're trying to justify your pathetic manhood with sad attempts at proving your game system is better than it is. I bet you drive a 2 door car with oversized rims too :-)

# ^^ its simpleStealth! 2007-11-26 09:59
The problem with Sony wasn't the games as much as price. Ever since the price-cut the PS3 has been making sales left and right. And basically everyone who wants a Wii already has them. Which is why the Sales in Jaoan are going down hill.



Not to mention UT3 and other games before Christmas will give the PS3 some added sales. Hopefully to makes worldwide sales close to 10 mill. The PS3 is doing Strong hell Ninja Gaiden Sigma has practically convinced me how awesome Ninja Gaiden series is, Hell i might even get a 360 so i can play it, since i love Sigma so much.



Anyway i can't say this list really compels me to buy one myself, my sister has one and its fun but not enough for me to say OMG i must have. Until The Wii gets more games there all going to be fun for 2-3 weeks for me and thats it.

This is my opinion and im not going to bash Wii like MCS but personally its not something i think will dominate the market as a gaming system. Maybe Wii fit and such will help sales alot.



Don't bash my post it my honest opinion and thats all. But MP3 was awesome i did play it. SMG i have yet to try.



OH and the Wii Zapper is a failure. I mean the whole design and trigger and such is really poorly made.

# Your ignorant....Billie 2007-11-26 10:17
Obviously frats were not your thing, it's not for everybody, but you have a real problem with stereotyping people who belong to these organizations.



If you want to stereotype frats because of the ones that you experienced at your school, then you are no different than somebody who hates blacks/whites/browns, because of a small popluation rubbed you the wrong way. This buddie, is the definition of discrimination.



Again, I would like to know what your perceptions of "highly gay" activities are? Are they activities that you seen in movies or TV? Did you read about the BAD frats in the newspaper? Where are you basing your frat hate on? Because how could you know what activities they do if you never done them? I mean I still contribute to my neighborhood children's shelter with my old buddies, is helping under privileged kids gay?



I have no intention of proving my "manhood" to anybody here, but I would rather point out your hating, descriminating, stereotyping, ignorant self. I love the Wii, and I prefer it to any console on the market, but that doesn't mean that it's better than the others. An not that it matters, but I think rims are lame and I don't have them, but that doesn't mean that people that have rims are. They probably are cool people, and it's too bad that you would never give them a chance.

Dude, you should try out the old school Ninja Gaiden games, they made the series awesome. They are hard as hell though. Have you played the original Arcade version? It was pretty fun with two players. No doubt, I will be playing Sigma, and even the new nDS version as well.

# Some people just don't know for themselves.Staibdude 2007-11-26 12:31
*Prior to my ranting, I think that the PS2 was a better system than the Gamecube and that the XBox had a good running start also.



I am a huge Nintendoid. I love my Wii. I think the people saying bad things about it are the people who have either (a) only played Wii Sports, (b) had their friends make their own Mii for them, (c) have never even looked at any other channels besides the Game and Mii Channels, or (d) who just don't like Nintendo at all. I feel bad for anyone still sticking to the PS3, because that was a waste of a system (At least until Home comes out, I give Sony a thumbs-up for that one), and I can understand why everyone likes the 360 so much. But I honestly do not want to pay a monthly fee for online gaming. People would think that it's not such a big deal to pay a small fee, but a lot of gamers wish they had Live but can't have it because of Microsoft's fees. Nintendo offers fee and lag-free gaming. I enjoy Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 because of its gameplay and how smooth it runs during online play. Another thing about the Wii is that Nintendo took a new look to gaming. It's not how the game looks, it's about who looks at the game. Microsoft and Sony have stayed in a small corner with ages ranging from 10-30, with a few more ages here and there. Nintendo has reached beyond the limits of teens and college kids playing with other friends, to families simply picking up a small, easy-to-use controller and just playing a game. And not just families of young people, but even elderly people enjoy bowling every now-and-then. It's funny, because I was reading a newpaper article last week reviewing games that "little princesses" like. Ya know, Disney games and the sort. The games were only made for two platforms: The Wii and the DS. Now doesn't that say something right there? Sure, we don't want some hot chick playing Hannah Montana when she could be shooting your head off, but this is opening opportunities for small girls to become future gamers. Just had to make a point to any non-believer out there. Thanks for reading!

# You....Managed?Staibdude 2007-11-26 12:41
You say you "managed" to get your parents to play Rock Band. One look at Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii and my Dad and 2 Sisters immediately fell in love with it. I know it's a multi-platformer, but it didn't just work with Guitar Hero. My friend is an anti-gamer. The only game he enjoys playing is the old Super Smash Bros. just because he has played it long enough to know how to play. When I showed him Mario Strikers Charged, we played online for maybe 6 hours straight. He still loves the game even though I got it in September. You managed to get your parents to participate? The Wii beckoned for people to participate.

# Right.Captain_King 2007-11-26 13:29
You didn't read what I wrote, did you? See? We have a problem with communication right here. And to prove that I did, I'll run down your reply statement by statement:



Those new features you stated that you were expecting from this console generation? Yeah, I agree, the PS3 and the Xbox 360 can certainly deliver those, while the Wii certainly has a lot of trouble doing so. But I have to call you on better gameplay. What is better gameplay for you, then? Is it the game giving you the ability to shoot stuff, race cars you will never be able to drive or go off on a fantasy? Mind, I don't really give two pence, those are actually good but so far there has been no remarkable games OF THAT SORT on the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360. Sure, there's Halo 3 and the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 but you can't honestly say that they offer anything less THAN prettier graphics (because as we all know, their gameplay elements have been perfected long long ago with their past iterations).



Your third paragraph. I have to agree with that. But then again, what system isn't having THIS sort of problem? Besides the really high-profile Mass Effect and Super Mario Galaxy, we haven't seen anything that pretty much deserves our praises, except for IGN choking on Sony's phallus while massaging Uncharted's own Richard Nixon with its sphincter. Maybe when you watched that review, you tossed yourself and your other fellow fanboys off when the reviewer practically screamed "BUY THIS GAME", where "GAME" was more of a mishmash of borrowed game concepts with an utterly predictable story. But but but in PRETTIER graphics! If you saw Uncharted being released in the same generation that Tomb Raider/Gears of War was hot, would it sell? Of course not. Maybe that's why Sony (or Naughty Dog) is selling it now, then?



Let's look at Super Mario Galaxy. Yes, it's still Mario, yes, he still *****ing jumps on ***** and yes he still has to save the *****ing princess. We all know what he does. What does Nintendo do to mix things up? They do something completely original with him (and that's with the Galaxy). Not only that, they pushed the hardware to its limits and by god if it didn't look pretty. I'm a pretty jaded gamer myself. I didn't blink when I had to fight that big-ass scarab in Halo 3, I chuckled when I realized the scale of the bosses in Shadow of the Colossus, I almost smashed the TV when I realized that Jericho was just an exercise of romping through castles that a decorator decided to spruce up by painting the entire thing with his own feces. I gawked at how they presented Super Mario Galaxy. I stood there and marveled at how this little cheap insignificant piece of hardware managed to do the impossible, and that's make me believe in today's gaming generation once again.



Your fourth paragraph reveals that you, sir, did not even read the *****ing list. It is a list for gamers who already want a *****ing Wii, not one that says that you have to *****ing want one. Jesus Christ, we're all fanboys here, but can you at least do it in an...oh, none redneck-way? "Oh, I see that QJ has published another Wii-centric article, I'll take my small limp ***** tattooed with Kaz Hirai's face on the tip and piss all over it so as to prove my point." I can do the same *****ing thing with all the PlayStation 3 articles and just reiterate the fact that Sony is slowly killing off its fans but you don't see me doing that, do you?



Your fifth paragraph: Yeah, the gamecube didn't sell very well, but it had the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox as its competitors. Now, let's make that sink in for a minute. It had the PlayStation 2, one of the best consoles to date, as a competitor. Whoever comes up against that beast is dead. You know why? Because it had a *****TON of exclusives. That's right. It wasn't because of hardware, it wasn't because that it had a gimmick, but you had a lot of good games that you could play on it.



What are the exclusives for Sony now? Final Fantasy XIII? Yes, I'd buy that, except Square lost any and all ability to give us a decent

Nice long post dude. It seem as if everything you just typed up was to bash the PS3. What makes it any different from what other thinks of the Wii? You can't claim that the Wii is fun and not the PS3, they both offer the same thing and that is playing video games. Just because you don't like the games that the PS3 has to offer, it doesn't mean the "PS3 is doing' absolutely nothing". There are plenty of games for it and I believe Uncharted: Drakes Fortune just came out. That's about it.

Hey, if doing some community charity work makes you feel better about belonging to an organization whose main goal is to have drunken parties and get laid, fine by me.



Maybe you're in a service fraternity, in which case I take it all back. But chances are good you aren't, so be careful not to get caught in some date rape charges.



PS: I'm actually quite open-minded. I'm just pretty confident that fraternal organizations are more often than not a blight on an otherwise nice school setting. Race is rarely a real problem, drunken pathetic *****s with poor goals and mommy and daddy bailing them out typically is a problem. Read your local police blotter sometime.

# Let's all do the wave....Staibdude 2007-11-26 17:17
Man you're awesome, Captain_King. You couldn't have said it better. Super Mario Galaxy is like a Wii version of Mario 64. And we all know how revolutionary that game was. Nintendo thought of a new way to present an RPG and this was it. Any exclusive Sony has to offer is either trash or a really good game, but too bad there are only 3 games Sony can provide: FF XIII, FF XIII Versus and GT. And personally, I don't even like racing games, so tally off GT for me. Yes, I admit, the PS3 has been selling a lot better in Japan lately, only because MOST of the people in Japan that wanted it have it (I swear someone else said something related to that earlier). But that person forgot about the rest of the world. How big is Japan compared to a state in the US? Think of Canada, Europe, Australia and other major continents and countries. Lets just say I am so glad I preordered Super Smash Bros. Brawl, because when that game hits, I worry for the 360 and PS3. Any Nintendo fan will tell you this will be one of the greatest titles of all time on any console. Well, that's just me. But honestly, as soon as third party characters were announced, everyone went crazy for this game (especially after Sonic was confirmed as a player).

you are arguing with REAL gamers here

I thought this list might draw some interest, but I didn't expect such passion. I appreciate all the comments, especially the ones that stayed with the topic. I recently got a Wii and I've had an Xbox 360 for quite a while now. Both are a lot of fun, and I don't think any of them have anything to do with one's sexual preference. Casual gaming doesn't equate to being gay much in the same way that FPS titles don't becessarily mean you're overweight when you play them. Maybe the key here is being open-minded. I know this because I used to think the Wii was for kids, but even the simplest of its games are actually fun. Bottom line, there are some of us who may not venture across the casual-hardcore border, but it's no reason to diss other people for what they play. As long as we're all happy with video games, not much else really matters.

these people including myself build their own computer since windows 3.11 i think. We were 10 years old. Anyway I am sure many know the system is not a powerful console I'm sure. We all got it because its never been done before. As for the console being overclocked, I guess Nintendo feels the need to seek revenge on us for not buying the gamecube in the first place by making wii feature a mildly better spec over Gamecube.

My reply got cut off. Any case, let me just finish off my reply before that hooting ***** of a consoletard comes back.



Anyway, what are the exclusives for the PS3 now? Final Fantasy XIII? Yeah, right. As if the Final Fantasies after IX are worth playing ever since that belt-and-zippers bastard who squeezed out the Kingdom Hearts series have been making the designs (and the gameplay). Seriously, a Gambit system? Why not just let the whole bloody game play itself out without any help from the player, then? I know it's going to be more dynamic than that but ***** if Square EEEENIX is doing anything right with its flagship series (besides the remakes).



How about Metal Gear Solid 4? Oh, yeah, that's one title you can brag about. Point goes to the Sony people. It's the console's biggest selling point, so there's really no need to comment about that (unless it tuns out that Snake dies about halfway through the story and it ends after eight or nine hours). That said, it's the only title that I would go out and buy a PS3 for. Honestly.



Any other "good points" that the PS3 EXCELS in? Anything else? Nothing. Now, my previous replies may have been a bit on the angry side but that's because Mister Common CrotchFace decided to act all big on the internet and picked on the little guy - the little guy currently richer and getting all the attention. I'm not an anti-Sony zealot. I loved my PSone, I still love my PS2. But not the PS3. Why? Because Sony dropped the ball on this one. They had this massive wave they only had to ride with the least bit of effort in order to make a load of cash - but what do they do? They dump the surfboard and instead get a yacht. A cell-powered yacht with all the bells and whistles that unfortunately sank underneath the massive tsunami they were supposed to *****ing RIDE.



Look at Nintendo. After the GameCube tanked, they went into the console war with an entirely new approach. They were going into this war with a lot of injured fans, a lot of bruised egos, and with faith in them slowly whittling away. Then suddenly, boom! Nintendo's top dog once more, and they didn't have to have the best hardware or the biggest ads. They attacked from another angle completely, and they won.



But I'm optimistic for the PS3. Maybe, in the next generation, the PS4 will come out on top. I'm certainly looking forward to that. But before then, the Sony PlayStation 3 will have to have the ability to make me buttered toast as well as transport nubile female cheerleaders into the living room before I consider buying one.

is really that I made a simple joke and you took it so hard...and then I continued to bait you and you took it like the fool you are.



The reason I gave you such a hard time is because you actually used being a frat boy as a justification you have a life. That pretty much told me everything I needed to know about your outlook on life an personality. If you hadn't said that, then I wouldn't have been able to make such assumptions. Maybe you should reconsider how you represent yourself next time.



Congratulations Billie :-)

Dude, I could obviously say the same argument toward you as well. But there is no point, deep down your just a hater.

Not really, because if he hates the Wii then no matter what reviewers say wouldn't matter. Also, not every review across the web was negative.

i accept that not reviews were negative

but c'mon

majority rules

if 1000 people tell you a game is good and two people say its crap ....is it good

if two people say a good and one thousand say its crap....is it good

think about it

alot of people think differently

but when alot say it sucks and only a few say its good

then it sucks because only a select few will like it

Quote on what Captain_King stated

Let's look at Super Mario Galaxy. Yes, it's still Mario, yes, he still *****ing jumps on ***** and yes he still has to save the *****ing princess. We all know what he does. What does Nintendo do to mix things up? They do something completely original with him (and that's with the Galaxy).



OK. Not all Mario games ar hust jumping on mario and saving peach. Have you ever heard of Paper Mario(which includes saving peach but with other maoves than junt jumping), and Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door,(which includes mario saving peach with moves other tahn jumping but saving peach from another people not bowser but x naunts), and have you ever heard of Super Paper Mario(which has a variety of new moves, you don't save peach, you don't need to worry about bowser being your biggest threat and it.)? Have you heard of those titles oh and Mario Luigi Superstar Saga and other mario games. Not all have just the originals so do some research , you faker. *****

# Holy hell stop complaining Captain_KingStealth! 2007-11-27 21:36
Seriously you have no idea what the hell your talking about. Your obvious large and annoying posts proves you are anti-Sony PS3 fanboys. You remind me of MCS when he never got the system and ranted like a fool. Mind you he has grown up and bought the system and thinks otherwise you should do the same thing.



What exclusives ok how about this,

Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Lair, The Agency, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII verses, God of War 3, Kingdom Hearts 3, Haze, and any others i might have missed. And thats just the tip of the Ice-berg my friend.



Seriously take your Anti-PS3 hate speech and leave. Considering this is a Wii forum not a PS3 forum and yet you come here to bash that....WOW!

MCS May be harsh against the Wii but Considering the fact he did the same thing with the PS3 he probably never tried it.



"They do something completely original with him (and that's with the Galaxy). Not only that, they pushed the hardware to its limits and by god if it didn't look pretty"



So what your saying is SMG pushed the Wii to its full limit using all of it power, wow i didn't think it was going to be that fast.

Also your really a dumba$$ if you think FFX and FF12 was horrible games. 10 was phenomenal the first FF game to have voice overs and such. 12 had some new stuff in it and went a different way and in its own rights it was a awesome game. Seriously don't talk $hit about Nomura he is a freaking Genius when it comes to FF games, hell he helped with the production of quite possibly the best FF game of all time, FF7. Also there is confirmation that a FF7 remake with voice overs and next gen graphics to come to the PS3 and thats going to be exclusive.

Stop being a fanboy and bashing the PS3. You can say i don't hate sony and $hit but the fact is you never gave the PS3 a chance, i have one and let me tell you it destroys the PS2 and PS1 completely. The lack of games is at it end soon and the price is only going to get cheaper, they are planing to lower the Cell chip to 45nm, the 40GB has the 65nm cell chips which is why they were able to lower the price to a whooping $399.

Give the PS3 the 45nm and cheaper RSX you can expect a $299 PS3 on the horizon. So please give the system a chance, all your doing is being a bigger Fantard. I understand MCS doesn't like the Wii much but replying to him the way you are proves your the Console-tard Stop freaking Flame baiting we don't need it on the QJ forums.

And whatever credibility you had you lost when you start going on a PS3 hate rant and such.

Your Wii must be boring if you have the time to rant like this seriously.



@Billie

Yeah when i do get a 360 i will look into the old school ones. And of course Ninja Gaiden 2, i hope they make a Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 for the PS3 that would be nice.

What, are you freakin retarded? THEY HAVEN'T EVEN ANNOUNCED KINGDOM HEARTS 3!!! Yes, there will be one, but the console is unknown. The next KH games are coming out for handhelds. Get your info right before you make a list.

# @StaibdudeStealth! 2007-11-29 18:57
Actually i know my facts and if you did you would have known that the next KH game that is after the first two is a PS3 exclusive. The ones your talking about is actually Spin-offs of KH or side stories that has nothing to do with the PS KH versions. Which is why i stated that under the list.



Nomura has already stated the Next KH being not really numbered but one that is sorta linked to KH1 and KH2 will in fact be PS3 exclusive so please research before you talk.



I have been doing my homework longer than you being here, and i know the facts.
