If your going to count titles like excitetruck....

 

NSMBWii is really not better than anything, but I guess I'll give it to you?

DKCR is a fantastic game, that is a win for the Wii.

Xenoblade didn't go against nothing. Baten Kaitos is a fantastic game. Gamecube had more JRPG's, just not all of them were first party. 

Wii Twilight Princess is better how? I can press a button in the gamecube edition, but I have to waggle my arm to do a sword swing that doesn't register half the time? It's a terrible Zelda game anyway, but regardless that point is moot.

Skyward Sword>Wind Waker????! No, just no. Skyward Sword is an atrocitiy plain and simple. Most fans agree. If you liked it fine, but it's generally considered the worst 3D Zelda. Wind Waker is better in just about every way. 

You can't count Metroid Prime trilogy. It is 2 gamecube games. It's not a new first party offering. Compare the games that were made for their respective systems. Cube had 2 of the top 3 metroid games of all time. It wins easily.

Eternal Darkness>>>___________

How is MKWii better than double dash? Frankly I call that a was because Mario Kart is pretty much good regardless of platform.

 Wii Sports Resort is casual garbage, to even bring that up is a point for the cube.

The starfox games aren't bad enough to subtract points for the system. Some decent games are better than no games at all.

 

You failed to even mention pikmin.

Luigi's Mansion>_____

you failed to mention wave race

Wave Race+F-Zero>>Excitetrucks

It's really a pretty easy choice...

No GCN JRPG is as good as Xeoblade though.

TP Wii had faster and more efficient aiming thanks to the pointer, and swinging the remote felt more fun than a button tap. Widescreen too.

Wind Waker is an awful Zelda; half-baked dungeons, and suicide-inducing sailing. Skyward Sword's better level/puzzle designs and 1:1 sword control give it an easy win.

MKWii is better than DD because it has better handling, Karts no longer control like friggin' dune buggies.

Wii Sports Resort is a very good game, it was lots of fun and groundbreaking in its 1:1 motion control.

And the GCN Starfox games weren't decent, they were absolute garbage.

F Zero GX, Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime were the only GCN first party games that lived up to Nintendo's usual sky-high standards, while the Wii had the better version of Prime and TP, along with Galaxy 1 & 2, Metroid Prime 3, Skyward Sword, Donkey Kong Country, and Xenoblade. Even if you discount the multiplats between them that's 6 masterpieces on Wii to 3 on GCN.


no the hell they weren't -_-

 

atleast not Starfox Adventures

 

how the fuck was it garbage?

The flight sections were a joke. They were too short and lacked challenge or variety.

The on-foot stuff was like Zelda after a lobotomy, with all the intelligence and elegance stripped out and replaced by generic, by-the-number puzzles, and one-dimensional combat that boiled down to pessing A while enemies attacked one at a time.

The voice acting was ear-bleedingly bad, with Prince Tricky being particularly awful.

Starfox Adventures was pretty much what Donky Kong 64 would've been like on the Gamecube

 

and i'll go so far as to say that StarFox was THE BEST Adventure game that Rare has EVER made

 

you're probably just mad because you were expecting Starfox Adventures to be like Starfox 64 with him flying in the spaceship for the whole game or something

 

and why the fuck do people keep comparing it to Zelda? This game is in leagues with games like Donky Kong 64, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Banjo Kazooie and Kameo.. NOT Zelda

Because the combat and puzzles play like a Zelda game, just one without nuance, intelligence, or depth.



Around the Network

The Wii being #1 (not including Virtual Boy lol) on this poll brought a huge smile to my face, as I'm glad there are many who feel the same way I do about this joke of a console.

But then that smile faded away as I saw which console was right behind the Wii in the poll. The SNES?? Are you people fricking KIDDING me? If you voted the SNES as your least favorite console, you're either a grumpy old SEGA fanboy or you were born in the late 90s / 2000s and missed all the fun. Either way, I pity you.

The Gamecube.

It had the worst console Zelda, the worst (and so far only bad) 3D Mario, and it destroyed Starfox.

Zelda Windwaker was the game that officially made me a Zelda fan(i went back and played the others with a new outlook on them). I guess i can understand why you and a lot of other people thought Mario Sunshine was bad but i lked it.

 

and Starfox Adventures was A BEAST!! what are you saying!?!

 

lol

 

OT: The Wii was my least favorite but i'm not saying it was bad though

Everyone hating on Gamecube because of bad Zelda is making me laugh right now. Wind Waker is the best 3D Zelda easily. 

 

You want to see bad Zelda, play Skyward Sword, and TP. 

 

You want to see really bad Zelda, play Spirit Tracks and PH.

LOL THIS!  So true.  Couldn't be arsed to finish Twilight Princess, and didn't even play SS long enough to leave the main town or whatever, that's how bored I got with that game.  Forced myself to complete Spirit Tracks, and PH I borrowed from a friend and gave it back to my buddy a few days later lol.

If Wind Waker is such a bad Zelda game, then why is it getting an HD remake (which is unnecessary as the visuals are just fine the way they are IMO) and being positioned as one of the big holiday titles on the Wii U???

How could anyone vote anything over the Virtual Boy. Poll is either full of idiots, trolls or other systems fanboys.


probably cos most people never actually owned one therefore are unable to categorically say it's their least favourite (thats why I didn't vote for it).

 

anyway I voted wii. I know it's cool to bash the wii but I really didn't appreciate some of nintendo's decisions and first party output during the wii's reign. They made games for grannies and dumbed down several of their core titles during the wii's lifecycle. As a 20+ year supporter of nintendo I suddenly felt like I wasn't their target audience anymore which seemed like a kick in the teeth.

stop comparing it to Zelda

and there was nothing wrong with the puzzles in Starfox Adventures

 

the only thing about it that resembled anything from Zelda was when you locked on to the enemy with LT(i think) and then you could move around the enemy and now people want to jump all over Starfox's case for that? wow

Getting a HD remake doesn't mean a game was good, just that it was commercially successful.

GB Color. It was my 1st Nintendo handheld but is was basically just a Gameboy redesign.

I only had Pokemon Silver for it anyways.

If you are going to disregard Wind Waker, then I'm distregarding Skyward Sword. In no way is SS better than WW. It's linear, has forced motion controls that add nothing, is loaded to the gills with filler, is uglier than WW, has no good sidequests, and a weak story.

WW combat is better thanks to parry system. SO much to explore, and so much to explore that is completely optional. Excellent sidequests. A simple, yet good story with the best gannondorf in the series. To top it all off, it's the best looking Zelda in the series. The dungeons get the slight edge in SS, but really it's not by a wide margin. They are all excellent. Also, lol Fi ruined the game in a lot of ways. No annoying guide in WW. 

As far as JRPG's god, Baten Kaitos is about as good of a game as Xenoblade, sure it's not quite there, but it's right up there. You can't just discredit it.  Cube also has a lot more JRPG's, and they are all pretty damn good.

TP swinging was not more fun than a button tap at all. It was fun for five minutes, but it was a gimmick that I wished I could have turned off.

Better handling? I didn't notice that at all. That is a wash like I said before.

Wii sports resort is not a really good game. It's casual garbage. I played all the minigames once, and then put it down. It merely used 1:1 motion, it's not like it used it in a way that benefitted fun gameplay. It was a glorified tech demo.

I wouldn't say absolute garbage, but alright. 

So let's count the "Masterpieces"

GCN has: Metroid Prime 1, Metroid Prime 2, Eternal Darkness, F-Zero GX, Wind Waker, Pikmin 2,

Wii has: Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 Xenoblade and Donkey Kong Country and I guess we'll count these even though I think they suck Metroid Prime 3, Skyward Sword

So am I missing something here? Cube had just as many "masterpieces", and they were IMO much higher quality.

Linearity with tight design like in Skyward Sword is better than WindWaker's big boring ocean. That andf 1:1 sword control that actually connected the player to the action, and graphics with more than Wind waker's grand total of 5-6 garish colours on screen at once.

Wii Sports Resort was terrific fun; 1:1 virtual swordplay was a quantum leap, the likes of which was envisioned at the Wii's birth but finally came to fruition with WSR. Moving a virtual sword precisely with your own hand, that was sci-fi stuff the gen before. I can't count the number of hours me, my family, and my frends sepent with that game.

Metroid Prime 2 was held back from being a masterpiece by its excessive backtracking and unbalanced difficulty.

Exploration is the core of the Zelda franchise. SS had none It ruined it for me and many others, but it's fine if you prefer it.

Connected player to the action, PR speech right there. SS combat was terrible. 

Wii Sports Resort is not what anyone wanted except casuals.

Backtracking is what makes Metroid great, seeing something, coming back and being able to interact with it with your new tools. If you don't like it, you don't like Metroid. And it was actually challenging, which was a refreshing change.

nah i went on youtube and searched Starfox Adventures review and found this video

 

he tried to criticise the combat and compared it to Zelda so that's why i said that
