he didn't even mention TvC or MHTri..... ah well, I've known that this year's Wii line up was gonna be really big vs the other 2 since the conference, we'll see what happens during the second half, but so far, Wii rapes the other 2 consoles overall.

Three worthwhile games in four years, one of which is a GameCube game, is pretty much the definition of a dry spell.

he makes sense, i think the wii will have a great year with their lineup .
but i also believe sony and m$ will too, just not as many must have's right now as nintendo does have.

stof said: The Ghost of RubangB said: Whoa he called Will Wright... "Electronic Arts designer Will Wright." That's like calling Paul McCartney... "Wings frontman Paul McCartney." So am I supposed to come out of that rant thinking it's a compliment or trolling? It was like reading 2 competing editorials at once. He even called it a "waggle box." I'm surprised he didn't make a duct tape joke. This is what I got out of it: Intro: I display nothing but cynicism towards the Wii. They have too much shovelware, no games, and insist on pissing off true hardcore gamers. Body: Finally, some awesome games for the hardcore. How weird and unusual. I'm having more fun with my Wii than the other consoles, and that's actually embarrassing to admit on the internet. Conclusion: But Nintendo really does suck. A whole lot. Let me list all the things wrong with them. Also, you stupid haters should stop trolling Nintendo and play more Wii games. This is the year of the Wii. Seemed pretty simple to follow to me. The Wii has had some problems with it's game library in the past, but this year changes all that in a big way. It still has some flaws as a system (you going to say the Online stands up to the other consoles?) but not having a wide range of great hardcore games isn't one of them.

They have better local multiplayer, which is orders of magnitude more value.

In the words of Lebowski: "Well that's like, your opinion, man."

I had 7 or 8 Wii games by the end of 2006.  Loved 'em.

Mario + Metroid + Zelda

Nothing can beat that.

I can't argue with this article. I did by a Wii this weekend for that same reason. All my consoles are having great years. Now the problem is deciding what games to play first!
Danm, thats tough, Real tough.

Just because Ninty has finally arranged a "hardcore", "acceptable" lineup doesn't make it magically "their year." Dude, Sony's been talking that shi* every year since 06. "year of the PS3" Gimme a break lol.

Yeah, and that's wrong too. Just because Sony talks shit (like every f*cking company btw) doesn't mean Nintendo can do the same and be taken seriously when Sony wasn't. Just because some Ninty fans are getting some things they want, doesn't mean that Halo, Gran Turismo, Mass Effect 2 and God of War 3 suddenly fell off the face of the earth. Gimme a break. Ninty has a good year ahead to be sure, but Sony and MS don't go away as a result. Mario isn't THAT cool.

Oh, i'd love to hear this one explained.

Soriku said: IMO Wii > HD consoles this year...but this is the year of everything. Even the DS and PSP games this year are awesome. I wish everyone would shut up with this "year of the ___" thing for once.

Do you mean, bigger than both of them combined? Or bigger than them, but not combined.

I'll disagree with the former, somewhat agree with the latter, I mean, hey, i'm planning on buying a Wii this year :P
