For me, they are more fun, I much more of an old school gamer thats all. Not to say Wii games arent fun, ill be looking forward to playing SSBB. But im happy with COD4 and Uncharted all the same :)

 

This was so funny, that i had to quote this. :) I'm not bashing you or anything like that, it's just that you are still so young. You see, even that Wii is the most modern console at the moment (or would post-modern be better word?), it offers the most old-school experience in the most modern way. And then there's Virtual Console, for real old-school experience, in real old-school way. @le_patriote&Outlaw: About parents buying consoles for their kids, some buy something instead, if they can't find what kids wanted, although most don't buy. Some buy console for their kids, without kids even asking. And then there's the other relatives, who buy consoles for familys kids, and who don't understand the importance of having a specific console.

yeah bdbdbd seriously when that kid said he is much more of an old school gamer i thought he was gonna say he likes the wii a lot more. silly young kids who started playing games last gen and don't know what old school means. i especially like when he mentions COD4 as though a first person shooter is old school. very funny.


 I see how me playing on the NES and SNES as my first consoles is me starting last gen. Well done making assumptions "old man". How is 17 a kid? Honestly.

Old school was the wrong term to use admittedly, but I think the point I was making was pretty clear without being pulled up over a technicality. Its called semantics, old school in terms of the console generation would look back at the NES/SNES standard controller interface, which isnt what the Wii provides. 

Plus, FPS has been an established genre for nearly 20 years..not exactly a recent innovation in gaming is it?
