@Zen:

Why are you calling people dumb bastards over it? Someone has a different opinion than you. Get over it already.

The Wii has problems? You wanna see a system with problems, buy a 360 or a PSP. You'll be scratching your head and asking yourself "why"?

And as my PSP flameshield statement, I'm saying that because of the layout and format of the buttons on the console, and for no other reason.

When people throw around "problems" they are usually referring to non-lived-up-too potential, when real console problems come from bad hardware design at inception, like with the PSP's controls, or the...RRoD. 

True, true. The only problem my Wii has is that I can't read any crap on my Japanese Brawl, and it's driving me insane. I've tasted the magic, and now I'm totally freaking out waiting for the English version. I have so many trophies and can't read any of it. I'm just trying to unlock everybody to play with G&W until the English one comes out so I can understand the Subspace Emissary and rock and roll forever. Unlocking everybody a second time might push me over the edge. I might not survive the week.

I understand, and not to lessen this scolding in any way, but I just wanted to say, your the Commish to my Batman.

@Riot

Comeon man, don't sell me lies. You can't seriously believe that graphics should be compared between consoles when handing out reviews.

If they were, then no Wii game's graphics should ever rate above a 6, no PSP games graphics should rate above a 3, DS a 2.

Even if you wanted this chaos, you can't have it both ways. You can't have a FPS on the 360 rate above a 8 in controls after the mouse and keyboard were introduced, or after Metroid Prime 3.

Your not seriously thinking this through, if that is what you believe.

Graphics, controls, ect, they must be relative to the other titles on the hardware they are produced for. Ports and multiplats are exceptions on occasion, but they also prove the rule, that you can't say that Ninjabread Mans graphics are better than God of War PSP's graphics.

It's the flaw in your logic that gets me, and what I believe is that you KNOW about this flaw, but are trying to work around it in your arguments.

Dunno why, but I believe its because you don't think a Wii game should get as high of a graphical score as a PS3 game. It makes sense at first glance, but when your reviewing a game on the Wii, you can't bring console wars into it, that's just not how reviews are meant to work.

Give the hardware a bad review, give the games developed for it a fair shake, or your not doing your job, that's how I feel about it.

Sorry for calling you a dumb bastard, btw. I get carried away.

Same thing happened to us man. We could just go to the multiplayer brawl mode, pick time/stock, minutes/lives and use the item switch. And all this was thanks to the ign translation. Oh, and we did some level editor......most of our stages were weird though. I've just been playing with sonic, trying to get good with him, but sadly, he doesn't have a lot of KO moves. 

I'm a wii owner (as well as PS3) and clearly have shown this graphic score is consistent with even IGN PS3 VF5 graphic score. If Wii is "this" generation console then it should be reviewed and treated as if it's "this" generation console in all areas.

This generation is the generation of Brawl. Brawl gets a 10 and everything else gets shifted down accordingly, and is rated on "how close it is to Brawl." So far everything else is maxing out at 7 or so.



@izaaz101, yeah it's nuts. I know barely enough Japanese to get through the menus, options, special brawls, and the blue screen where you find out how to unlock stuff, and a lot of it's intuitive from Melee still, but I can't read the trophy stuff and I'll need the SSE to be in English. I haven't even unlocked Sonic yet. I'm going nuts!

Ok I gotta get out of here and do homework.... and then Brawl. I might never come back. Good luck everybody.

haha.

i think you're at least kinda serious, but i chuckle all the same.

Yeah, PS2 games couldn't match up against GC/Xbox games, so games on the PS2 should never get more than 9 on graphics. Oh wait... The whole point is that SMG and Metroid 3 got 9.5's, but SSB:B, which looks at least on par with those games, only got a 8.5.
