| Garcian Smith said: 1) The rights to Goldeneye are owned by Rare, who are in turn owned by Microsoft. As for the rest, so a few games that you like aren't up there yet. Boo hoo, cry more. 2) Specialized gaming device doesn't support all of the peripherals that a personal computer does. News at 11, followed by lengthy round-table discussion of this late-breaking scandal. 3) Um, QuickTime (.mov) and mp3 files DO play. You must just be such a horrible failure that they don't just for you. 4) There's no Ethernet port because this is 2008 and everyone uses wifi. 5) Because GameCube and Wii games use different file formats. 6) Because Nintendo couldn't be bothered to reconfigure the entire system just for a handful of dorks who want to use their Game Boy Player. 7) So what, you're clubbing your Wii with a hammer now? Who the hell cares? 8) Yes, how dare Nintendo deprive me of an extra three seconds of my life while I wait for my games to load. NINTENDO IS SCREWING US AGAIN!! 9) Because nobody likes to listen to whiny twelve year olds spout off curses while playing a nice game of Dr. Mario. 10) Durr... maybe because the motion sensing and IR doohickeys aren't free? 11) Disaster is coming. Project HAMMER was canceled. Pikmin 3 was never even announced. In the meantime, the Wii has arguably the best third-party support of any of the three consoles and Nintendo's awesome first-party games. What more do you want? 12) Since when are No More Heroes, Boom Blox, RE4 Wii, Okami Wii, Zack & Wiki, PES 08 Wii, GH3, Bully, Trauma Center 1 & 2, RE:UC, FFCC WiiWare, LostWinds, and Geometry Wars, just to name a handful, "shovelware"? And those are just released games. I can't believe I wasted so much time replying to this crap. |
You did a fantastic job saving me the trouble. However I'll add one comment re. #4, especially since it was singled out by capitalization.
4) Ethernet Port: WHY ISN'T THERE ONE ON HERE?!
Because it was believed that more people prefer a wireless connection to running wires all over the house they supplied the more expensive wireless adapter. If you need a hardwired ethernet port at least it will only set you back $29 to rectify the oversight. I would note that the more expensive Xbox 360 provided the less expensive LAN port requiring you to drop $99 if you want wireless.
But some people are never happy.
