Forums - Gaming Discussion - who hates the wii?

Reasons why people hate on the wii

1. They are PS/Xbox fanboys. They are going to hate on any system that isn't theirs no matter what.

2. They are old school nintendo fans who can no longer take owning a "kiddie console." I dunno how they made it through the 64 and Cube era.

3. They are people who want gaming to remain underground. I guess they feel threatened by this new market. Maybe they think quality games will disappear once gaming is mainstream.



95% of gamers don't know they are noobs, the 5% who do won't be noobs for long

I dought quality games will disappear. The movie industry does the same thing.
casual and hardcore will balance.

1. True
2. Somewhat true but it's more blind and a false acceptance.
3. True in their perception but in the saddest way. The funny thing is gaming is already mainstream. You can thank the PS1 and PS2 generation for really taking that off with some help from the original Gameboy. Wii and DS just carried it along.

It doesn;t have to do anything to me. it doesn't mean i have to like it



Well personal preference can keep one from liking the wii, but I don't see preference being strong enough to make someone hate the system.

The whole mainstream thing has been prevalent in the movie and music industry for awhile. Movies have their cult classics and music has their underground bands. There are people who tend to get upset when their favorite underground band goes mainstream or when tons of people are talking about that old cult classic. I am not sure they exact reason why this happens, but it does in those areas of entertainment so I see no reason why it doesn't occur in the gaming sector.

I have a wii, and I dislike it because the motion controls in my opinion are pure rubbish and Nintendo knows this which is why they are releasing the motion plus to fix it.

The graphics are trash on my HDTv, and no I got ride of my old tube TV. Now I'm not saying Nintendo should of gone all out with it's graphics card, but it should of a least had a good upscaler to make it look decent on HDtv's, instead of penalising me for owning one.

The online is pure rubbish, no thanks to the friends code, could they make things anymore convoluted, I mean the PS2 had a system where every game had it's own username and password and although archaic it worked because it had a username system and if one wanted to and assuming they could they could have used the same username and password accross the board, but not on the wii, hell they took what the PS2 had for online and broke it even more, on the other side of the coin, the shop isn't to bad, but a tad pricey.

Now come the games, now I my self am no particular fan of mario games, or zelda games, so those are out. Mario kart and SSBM I feel were better on the game cube, and the rest of Nintendo's line simply doesn't interest me....now for 3rd party...well underneath the shit which is shovelware, and by god their is a load alot of it, are the rough gems like no more heroes, but their simply isn't enough quality games I like on it....and this all boils down to me not liking the Wii, of course there will be people who will disagree with me and that's fine, but this is my experience and my opinion, nothing more nothing less.

Now allot of you Nintendo 'fanboys' will read my post, most likely get offended, most probably report me to have me band, labelling me a 'TROLL' or a 'FLAMER'....but if you read my post in context of the thread, I am with in my right to give out my opinion as the OP asks the question "who hates the wii?", I am merely giving an answer.



love my Wii :)
