The wii isn't hardcore - Nintendo even say so....So take that up with them, not me. And I never said the wii wasn't good, far from it (that's you being paranoid), I said it's not for hardcore gamers, which it isn't.

Fighting on a 2D axis is far, far easier than on a 3D one. Simple as that. My point is the wii isn't for the hardcore. What the **** is your point?

That just because you state something as a fact, doesn't make it a fact.  Yet you keep trying to drive the point home and get defensive (see: condescending and combative) whenever someone doesn't agree with you or submit.  You even did it in this post.

I'm willing to agree to disagree, but not when someone is insulting my intelligence or trying to claim something as a fact when its not.  And its not a fact that 'Fighting on a 2D axis is easier than a 3D one'.  Take for example Okami vs Muramasa.  Or Gears of War vs Metal Slug.  Or Wind Waker vs Rocket Knight Adventure.  Guess which ones you will die more on?

Let's see. In 3D you have 3 dimensions to consider when fighting, giving you and the enenmy more angles of attacks.
On a 2D plane you have far, far less angles to worry about as you are just fighting along an X and Z axis. It's simple math.

How about you compare games that are actually similar? Compare Muramasa to Bayonetta and DMC. How about the original Prince of Persia to the Sands of Time? And if you want to talk about dying, just have a play of Mirrors Edge.
And for the finale, compare Tekken 3 to Soul Caliber.

For the hardcore, 2D is not enough of a challenge as it once was.

The games you just tried to make comparisons to aren't similar at all...  My games might not have been competely the same, but they were much closer than yours.  Muramasa and Okami are both inspired by Japanese mythology and have common themes and enemies.  Gears of War and Metal Slug are both 'gritty' and over the top shooters with abstract realism that don't take themselves seriously.  And Wind Waker and Rocket Knight Adventures are both cartoonish action games with characters who use swords.  However, they were contrasting examples that clearly show three 2D games that are harder than three 3D games.  Where you had previously stated '2D gaming is far far easier than 3D'.  You can't provide such an absolute statement.  They are so easy to be proven wrong.

And yet again, you made a statement trying to pass it off as a fact, when clearly you have people telling you the opposite.

By the way, Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur are both 3D.
