| Serious_frusting said: Well i dont own a DS nor do i own a Wii. I did own a DS light for like 20 mins but i taken it back to cash converters before i even played a game on it. I played brain training on my nieces DS light before though. OK the thing is i dont really like nintendo's direction. It just doesnt have true games on the systems. Yes the DS has a few RPG's and a mario game but what else? The wii just seems really overpriced for what it has or does. I almost brought one last spring for 120 pounds but i couldnt bring myself to do it. Yh it has like Mario galaxy. mario and sonic at the olympic games. And thats about it for. Am i missing something. What games do you get to satisfy you "true" gaming needs? Why do you go for nintendo. What do they really have that keeps you comming back. is all your Wiis truly collecting dust in the corner and shit. Does a Wii owner need another console "HD" to get the full gaming experiance? I just dont see what brings people to buying it unless they are really fat or have kids. Educate me |
For myself and many others, we either simple don't have the time or the motivation to play what you consider a 'true' game. I grew up on Arcade games and Atari 2600 / Colecovision. Games to me are meant to be quick, simple and fun, not a major investment of time with complicated controls that need to be memorized. In that regard Wii is the only system with a lot of 'true' games (although Xbox has a lot to download).
Wii also offers fitness titles and Wii Fit gets used more than any other game I own. This is a major driver of the system, especially amongst women.
Wii does have a lot of what you think of as 'real' games as well and I own many of them but rarely have time to play them.
I do have a 360 as well but since most of my gaming time is spent in 5 - 20 minute sessions, Wii gets used over the 360 9 out of 10 times.
DS offers a much more diverse game experience than the PSP. Heck, 90% of PSP games are gimped console games stuck on a portable. DS offers quick games perfect for playing on the go, games for non-gamers - Brain Age, Crosswords, etc. Games for girls - Nintendogs and hundreds of others, novel games and lots of RPGs.
