Why Wii? Here are ten reasons for you |
Ó
There's two sides to every story. There's black, and then there's white. But lest you forget, there's also that thin line separating the two: the grey area. With the launch of the two most-anticipated next-gen consoles drawing ever nearer, most have already decided which side they'll go to: the Wii's or the PS3's. However, there certainly will be those still sitting on the fence, still unsure as to which to get for this holiday. If you're one of those people still in limbo, then this article should just be right for you.Codename Revolution is giving you ten reasons why you should be getting a Wii over a PS3 for this Holiday Season. Bear in mind that this is not our personal take on this issue. Check it out, and see if it's convincing enough for you.
1. More Third-Party Exclusives
With the likes of Red Steel, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, Dragon Ball Z: BT2, and Super Monkey Ball:Banana Blitz, there's obviously a whole lot more choices for you
2.The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as launch title
They say it has got to be the one of the best Zelda titles ever made. And they say it's go to be the greatest launch title ever.
3. 62 available games this year alone
Compared to the PS3's collection of 23 games for this Holiday, surely, 30 downloadable classics plus 32 full games for the Wii clearly makes it a winner.
4. 2006 game titles practically for everyone's enjoyment
There's more variety in Wii games. And why not? They have, after all, marketed it as a family console. So, your choices won't actually be limited to those hardcore titles that the PS3 have.
5. Getting sentimental with old-school games
Nothing beats the classics. And here, Wii's got thirty of them. PS3's expected to have two downloadable items, on the other hand.
6. Affordability and availability
No problems with the numbers here. They promised a million units for the North America launch, you'll get a million units come launch. So there's plenty to go around for everyone. Plus it's way cheaper than the other console. For US$ 250, you're getting a really sweet deal.
7. Pretty much the same games
You can pretty much find the same stuff for both consoles. So you won't exactly be missing out on anything.
8. The Perfect Video game gift
It's affordable, it's for the whole family, it's for your friends..even your girlfriends. Make it the perfect bonding tool this Holiday.
9. SPPL
That's Small, Quiet, more Portable, Power efficient, and fast Loading times. It's supposedly the smallest "mega-console" ever. So it may be small, but the things it can do are humongous. Being 20% more power efficient than GameCube, it can stay active while the console is turned off, all the while using power just about that of a miniature light-bulb's. And then, it can take as much as only three seconds to load between many areas in game. That's fast.
10. Revolutionary Control Scheme
So you want interactive gaming? The Wii remote gives you just that--and more. Every Wii title for this year will be making use of this technology, so there's no reason why you should miss out on this. And not only that, you can also customize it with attachments like a steering wheel or a golf club.

I cant waif for this thing X-D
I cant waif for this thing X-D
wow, its amazing... i will get it solely for the ps1 graphics!!! Its amazing sentimental value.. and it reminds me of my old loved sony system! i think i will wait until the second hand selling craze... analyst say that people will go crazy buying them.. but then sell them afterwards cheap as they will be accumulating dust after the holidays! i think of it like my ps2 eye toy... twas cool to play with mates.. but it only happened once a year!
hell yeeeeeah its gonna be excellent cant wait to use the magic wand lol
There are more than ten reasons NOT to own a Wii.
saying wii has ps1 graphics is like saying ps3 costs as much as a house. actually, invalid comparison. ps3 does cost as much as a house.
ok, so i had to change my mind after actually watching some of the videos out there. I never watched them, i just kind of judged the system by what i heard from my friends. I will most definitely be getting the Wii when i comes out. Those are some of the most intuitive controls i've ever seen! The PS3 is no match for the Wii. Wii willl be on the top of my list, hands down!
Here's s'more stuff. -LIGHT SABER GAME. -SD slot makes this system seem slightly hopeful it will see homebrew sooner than later. -you could probably throw the wii/wii controller at a cat or dog. -Developers showering system with praise, gamecube hardware will mean devs will have experience with the system already, etc. -no bluray diode shortages -South Park producers are willing to sell out like whores to pimp the Wii (just like they sold out like whores to pimp the PSP and W.O.W.) -Wii system surface great for breaking up weed -Damn it, they better release a bunchload of on-rail gun games (house of the dead, time crisis, etc)
The problem with the WII's virtual console is that all the old school games that everyone is so jacked up about can be played for free on the PSP/PC and other systems via emulators. The only thing I'm excited about is the N64 games but the PSP in the future will play these as well. So in summary, the PS1 on PS3 means alot more to me.
Ralph is an idiot. Bastion should be arrested for stealing games.
hi ralph, good to hear the same old stuff, nothing new from you... ever bastion, the psp is all but dead but to my point... doesn't reason #7 conflict with reasons #1 and #3? think about it I'll admit, I just care about reason #2, but reason #11, it comes with a game (set) which is unheard of any more
#7 would conflict with #1 and #3 if you didn't see that add-in word in #7 saying PRETTY MUCH, it's saying that most of the games that you will see on the PS3 will be on the Wii as well. Although, the Wii will take the game to a different level in terms of playing with the Wii remote. That doesn't mean that there aren't exclusive games coming out for the PS3 like MSG4, Devil May Cry 4, etc etc.
yeah bastion, you idiot. PSP will never run a satisfactory N64 emulator. Hell, my modded xbox runs n64 games like crap. psp just doesnt have the capabilities. You all daedalus fans use too much wishful thinking.
Tenkaichi 2 has already come out to PS2, and you call it exclusive?
7. Pretty much the same games You can pretty much find the same stuff for both consoles. So you won't exactly be missing out on anything Rubbish! there completly differnt wii has beardly any of the games ps3 has and vice versa! 5. Getting sentimental with old-school games Nothing beats the classics. And here, Wii's got thirty of them. PS3's expected to have two downloadable items, on the other hand. Also rubbish the ps3 has loads of ps1 games like the wii dose with its classics.
ps1 is hardly a classic... and for that matter is hardly worth having anyway. Wii will have stuff from more than 2 decades ago. And there is a lot quality stuff.
i can just pop in any ps1 game into my cd drive, and it autoboots an emulator that runs at full speed
Games like Harry Potter now finally have a meaning of existing.
Its gonna take more than the Wiimote to make Harry Potter worth playing.
LOL, list sucks. 63 games and you included classics, bull*****. Did yah count the PS1 downloadables that will be out soon? I don't know exactly how much there will be though but still downloadable classics hahaha. So it's really down to 23:32 which isn't a big difference because some of the games for Wii are just ports or stupid ass games likes spongebob squarepants. The third party exclusive isn't so much exclusive, and list isn't that impressive. Rayman is only a timed exclusive right? not sure, and there are Tony hawks everywhere. There are some good/obvious points, like cheaper, fun for parties, etc. The classics will sell, although many, many of us already have emulated everyone of them on our Pcs. I still hope that Wii and the PS3 will do well though, screw the xbox ;D.
PS1 games arent freakin classics, they came out about 8-7 years ago, nintendo games came out like 20 years. Unless your telling me Ape Escape and all the other crap on the PS1 are "classics"
Get your facts straight Wii will have 63 combined new games and classics ON LAUNCH DAY!!!!!!! The Ps3 only have 27 plus the 2 downloadable at launch and I would not call ps1 games classics, NOTHING ON THE PS1 WAS GREAT!!!!!
With some of the latest titles coming out of PSP I know more and more people thinking about getting one. Gitaroo Man Sequel Metal Gear Solid Game Power Stone Collection they are getting cheaper so I'm picking one up for Gitaroo Man for sure.
Nothing on the PS1 was great? (leans over to his collection) Where do we start Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII-IX, Chrono Cross, Wild Arms I and II, Intelligent Cube, Legend of Dragoon, Medievil, Alundra I and II, Crash Bandicoot games, Parappa the Rappa, Um Lammy Jammy, I could keep going but I need to go to sleep in the next 3 hours. Counting classic games that you can download is like counting all the backwards compatible games on a console. It means nothing. Will anyone honestly get their Wii sit down and go download Super Mario as their first game to play?
i am not saying the wii has ps1 graphics.. the wii technical spec sheet is!! besides the ps2 cost me 300 pounds back in the day.. this is costing me 450.. thats not too bad.. just think.. .HD Age, Blu-ray, amazing quality digital era, 1080 p LCD HD screens.. Everyone is trying to look their best... and then you have wii.... which is what it sounds.. a urine stain more than one person can play with.... hookin up a wii to my 1080p 40 inch lcd its like getting a super pentium computer with additional cores, just to play pacman... the wii runs on gamecubes engine.. and the gamecube sucked.. its basically a gamecube after surgery... with a new controler.. you can do that for any console.. just buy one of those weird lookin MadCatz controllers! I have played on a ps3... and used 6axis, and afterwards i wasnt thinkin.. resistance fall of man.. its resistance fall of nintendo!
Final Fantasy Tactics
Third reason: 32 REAL, new games, and 30 old games that everybody has played through emulation anyway. That makes 23 to 32. 9 games more is a lot less than over 30 more games. Fifth reason: Like I already said, everybody has played those games already through emulation and on the old console's. I'm not going to pay AGAIN for my old games, I'd rather just hook up my nes/snes/n64 to play them again. I won't miss out on those if I don't buy the wii. Sixth reason: What kind of hell reason is that to buy a game, hmm. I don't know if I'll buy the PS3 or the Wii. Wait a minute, the wii has way more availabality, I'll take it! And by the way, the benelux (Netherlands where I live, Belgium and Luxembourgh) are still getting only a few wii's. I work at Media-Markt and they're like the biggest game shop in town, and we only get 30 wii's. Whith the Xbox 360 for example we got 50. And that was a real pain in the ass. Seventh reason: It's just a lie. There are no HD graphics on the wii, so you'll miss out on that. In three years, do you still want to play with gamecube-like graphics when everybody is playing Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XII in 1080p. Eighth reason: I'll give you it's cheap, but you already said it was cheap on the sixth reason. That's just thesame reason. That leaves 5 'real' reasons left. And I don't really agree with them too. But anyway, I can tell ya: The PS3 has ALL those reasons, and WAY more. Blu-Ray, 1080p, Resistance: fall of man, Motorstorm, Final Fantasy XIII is coming, Metal Gear Solid 4. A (FREE) internet browser, being able to put some HD movies on your portable harddisk and playing them on your HDtv just by playing it through your PS3. Being able to play normal games, and have motion-sensing gimmicks (because say it, motion-sensing is still just a gimmick after a few months of playing). Don't get me wrong tho, I WILL get a Wii. And a PS3, but when it all comes down, and I had to choose between a Wii or PS3. It wouldn't really be a choice, just the fact that the PS3 is the real winner.
ps 3 is the real winner.. its not even worth discussing it! at the What HIFI - Stuff convention in London at the novotel last saturday they had a list of the 10 most wanted items in england.. and the ps3 was number1, the DS Lite was number 8.. and the WII was 11th so it didnt make it! GUYS JUST BUY THE MAGAZINE IF YA DONT BELIEVE ME! like i said.. the wii will be like the eye toy.. cool for the first hour.. and to play with mates.. but at the end of the day.,. it will end up gathering dust.. REAL HARDCORE GAMING + PS3
might be the winner, but it costs so friggin much, not so many can afford it, and thus it won't be as "good", due to low user levels. Although, who knows before they all are out. Wii and PS3, and of course X360 is out already.
Your still going to have amazing user levels just because the PS3 is going to be getting bought up like crazy for the next coming months. Your not going to reach the stage of price detering people for awhile.
There is already a huge library of PS1 games available for 5$ or less+there's various media content available for the PS3 oh and it upscales DVDs also.Can the Wii do that?NO!
Do you nintndo fans realize that you will be paying close to the same amount as the PS3 if you want all of the Wii Wii's features. Think about it: $250(unit)+$60(secondary Wii Mote)+ $20(Classic Remote)+ $$$$ for Classic Games. People will actually be retarded enough to buy those classic games when there easily accessible over the internet. The PS3 comes with everything youll practically need out of the box. It also has motion sensing, way better graphics over Gamcube version 2, and has free online play in a basic package. The user interface is really cool as well. People its time to stop putting down the PS3's price as well considering it has advanced technology and not current which makes the cost of the unit go up.
definitely. why play golf on the wii when you could just go play real golf? videogames are to chill and have fun, not to run around like a dumbass
totally. harry potter games are gay. the books and movies were ok but games are STUPID
I want to put the Wiimote inside me.
nintendo made classics yes, but now they just suck.. like the ds... i mean touch screen is cool but all their games are ported from other shi t. the ds-special games are cool but not really worth rushin out to buy.
I thought I'd put my 2 cents into this with translating what this actually says to me. 1. More Third-Party Exclusives IE:you can have support from everyone BUT nintendo 2.The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as launch title IE we can name a whole good game for wii 3. 62 available games this year alone IE we could care less about quality,quantity is the way to go! 4. 2006 game titles practically for everyone's enjoyment IE:again,we go for quantity,not quality 5. Getting sentimental with old-school games IE:you can have fun with older,crappier games instead of what we tryed to make. 6. Affordability and availability IE:again,we could care less about quality,just go as fast as you can. 7. Pretty much the same games IE:you can get this console because its normal 8. The Perfect Video game gift IE:youll WANT to give this away. It's affordable. IE:again,quantity,not quality. 9. SPPL That's Small, Quiet, more Portable, Power efficient, and fast Loading times. IE:you can have a calm hardcore gaming session,non of that "hardcore"stuff 10. Revolutionary Control Scheme IE:youll have to adapt to what we want you to
RIP NINTENDO basically.. they have gone all wrong about it.. its about making better machines.. not re selling whats old and outdated.. put it on a different case.. create a new controller and sell it.. thats their revolution! Increased sales and profit by selling an old product.. they should be ashamed.. isnt that against the law? fraud? or something... cos theyre tricking lots of people and little kids into getting it.. and its the same machine as the gamecube selling for 14 dollars in blockbusters.. how low can a firm go...
I'll make this long and confusing, but I think this whole topic needs it.. I hope. PS3 - Good graphics, (Well, excellent graphics so far, the best of the 3) Blu-Ray, (Great HD-DVD player) Innovative Controller, (Basically Wii but in a PS2 controller style) And online capabilities, (Basically X-Box live, but PS3 style!) Generally, PS3 has gotten what good qualities the other consoles have and put them together to create one ultimate box. People you know will be envious of you, that is, if you ever manage to get one. Sure the console is a 'revolution' in gaming, but with so much new technology bundled in it, you wouldn't expect it to be cheap would you? And you wouldn't expect Sony to give out billions and billions and spend billions on making the consoles if people didn't want them would you? That is not to say people DON'T want them, but considering the price tag of the console, and the games, seems to put alot of people off. But it's your choice. Spend around 0 on a state of the art, new technology console, or get the next best thing. Wii - Lets face it; although Wii is truly a 'revolution' in gaming, many gamers will most likely purchase a Wii alongside another console, be it PS3 or X-Box 360, mostly due to the graphics and... Well, difference to other consoles. It looks like fun to pick up a remote and swing about, and it is! Seeing a little character doing on screen what you are doing is very cool, much like visiting the Arcade and playing a game of Jurrassic Park and shooting the Dinosaurs by moving the gun, it is simply fun! But with Wii, to really enjoy it, you need more people to look as funny as you are jumping around with the remote. But all that aside, comparing the Wii to the Gamecube and PS1 isn't the best comparison. Sure, the Wii is mostly a 'revamped' version of the Gamecube, but along with that is much more; Online games, download NES and SEGA classics from this service, (Although PS3 also has this function, there are games which can only be purchased on either system, meaning pick whichever one you like best!) Mii characters, (Alot of fun to make, you can spend hours doing so!) and is also the most Power Efficient. So not only is it the cheapest to buy, but also costs the cheapest to run. These are just a few reasons of the Consoles, I know I didn't include X-Box 360, (In very detailed writing) But it seems to shed a bit of light on the situation.
