Social gaming.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Virtual Console was primarly why I bought the wii, aquiring games that I used to play, not owned/missed out. But because the freaking service is not available where I am, my classic gaming nostalgia is still out of reach! So I'll stick with brand loyalty for now, until I get my nostalgia on. Legaly!

I played Wii Sports with a friend and really enjoyed it, so later I bought the console, plus I wanted to have all 3 current gen consoles so I can get any exclusives I want, so, I guess my answer is both other and motion controls (as I thought Wii Sports motion sense stuff was great).



The price and the innovative motion controls(it was a new way to play games, something had to change besides graphics).

Exclusives for me. Where else am I going to get Mario, Metroid, and Zelda? Motion control would be in second place for me.

Well i have had this rule since super nintendo :

I buy two consoles per generation, one of them will always be a Nintendo console. Their games have always been in my most adored list. Besides, Nintendo reminds of the good ol times when i used to live as a kid in the US. I'm sentimental :P



If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.

Brand loyalty, plain and simple. When I got my Wii, the only game that I bought for it was Resident Evil 4 (which I'd already played to death on the Gamecube). If it were any other console manufacturer, I'd probably have waited for some must-have software.

It was a good purchase, no doubt. Still, if I said anything besides brand loyalty, I'd be lying to myself. I don't lie to myself......unless I'm talking about my massive penis.



Its was cheap, had wiisports and my girlfriend wanted one
