A Nintendo fanboy confession

Funny, I have my 360 for 3 days now and I must say I don't really share your thoughts.

For one I wasn't blown away by the graphics (and yes I play on a HDTV). I liked them, and sure they are better than Wii's, but not enough to warrant the massive "Wii graphics suck" meme that's always around. I'm not that much of a graphics person I guess. I play a lot of DS and love my SNES games still.

Secondly I was playing Mass Effect. Truely awesome game, except for the frigging dual analog shooting. I absolutely hate the irresponsiveness. It really kinda ruins the experience after RE4Wii and Metroid 3.

I think Wii is worth $250. And masses of people think that. That's the only thing that matters. Whether Wii is better/worse than 360 or PS3 is up to anyone personally. I love the Wii for many reasons (Virtual Console is an important one) and I don't think my newly aqcuired 360 will change that (both have tremendous competition from the DS though).

I'll use my 360 for some of my favorite franchises, like RE5, Final Fantasy and Beyond Good and Evil, but Wii can give me lightgun shooters, point & click and snowboarding on a Balance Board. For me that alone makes the Wii a worthy purchase for every gamer, despite it being more expensive than 360.

 

 Nice to see that not all people consider graphic to be the most important factor with games. I totally agree with you, nice graphic can be a huge plus for a game (for exemple Super Mario Galaxy, which proves that Wii can also deliver graphically), but other factors such as controls, gameplay, structure of the game, the funfactor are totally superior in my opinion.

These factors are where Nintendo shines and always has. In my opinion you cannot find the "nintendomagic" in other games, as simple as that. I also love VC, best thing Nintendo has ever done and my main reason for buying Wii since I´ve (regretfully) sold my NES, SNES, N64.

 

"but other factors such as controls, gameplay, structure of the game, the funfactor are totally superior in my opinion."

exactly! and the whole marketing of everything is geared towards Nintendo being seen as the system to offer thoes things, but I've realised that the 360 and the ps3 have all thoes things! pluss AWESOME graphics. Its been like this brain washing kinda thing, like how sony and ms wanted us all to believe graphics are all that matters and we rebelled against it and baught a wii for the motion controles and the 'fun' and then every one forgot the 360 was fun because of its high price point. but now its cheaper then the wii and it would be good for people to turn around now and see that there are amazing games on this console. Games that are just as amazing as nintendos AAA titles if not more amazing and for a significantly cheaper price. (in AUS that is, I really dont know what prices are like in other countries)
