Gaming - Tekken 6 on Wii?! - View Post

What's all this talk about Wii not being able to get an "arcade perfect" Tekken 6??

This ain't NES Double Dragon Vs. arcade Double Dragon or Genesis Street Fighter II Vs. arcade Street Fighter II.

Arcades are virtually out of business because consoles caught up to them about 10 years ago. In the 5th gen consoles were JUST UNDER arcades in bringing the complete experience. Framerates, sound effects, all that jazz. Remember all those PS1 games like Marvel Vs. Capcom & stuff like that?

The 6th gen killed the arcades. You got arcade perfect games straight on the console by then! This is why arcades had to come up with new ways of interaction like dancing games and karaoke games and stuff like that to differentiate. Most arcades went out of business the past 7 years. Nobody goes to them anymore when they can get virtually the same experience at home. No quarters to spend, just play play play until you beat it.

Soul Calibur II even on the PS2 was just as equal to an arcade version of the game. I saw Tekken 5 on my friend's PS2. Looked arcade quality to me. There was no more differences and even in the 4th gen consoles were close to catching up to arcades only missing minor elements.

Wii is NOT as powerful as a Gamecube or a PS2 or an XBox. It's MORE powerful than those systems. Weaker than XBox 360 & PS3 specs wise, yes, but not THAT much weaker. I would say Wii's 1/2 to 2/3 as strong as the competition's machines. If the 6th gen machines can pick up on arcade conversions then SURELY the 7th gen systems can.

If I didn't know any better I'd think people thought the Wii was as strong as the Colecovision or something!

I mean be for real, somebody.
