Kurakasa, you can go under your bridge. We didn't need you at all here.

That was purely meant to troll and nothing else. (i noticed this when you stated that the 3rd party offerings are nothing better that the Wii 1st party offerings which are without a doubt the best offerings of this gen so far.)


I mean, I could also get on the 360 and it's dwindling popularity and how it's popularity is shrinking compared to the other 2. Man, dumb Xbot.

 

Haha. Now who is being dumb here? :) As I said, after mario games it is mostly minigames and very few exceptions (zelda/mp). Other sellers are minigames. Which are the ones I called crappy, not your precious mario-games.

I don't know you, your posting history, or how old you are, but I find that many hardcore 360 supporters are people who had the original XBOX as their first system as a teenager.  They thought it was cool to be rebellious and anti-PS2.  Now they defend the 360 to the death completely blindly.  No matter how many times their console breaks and they have to send it in for repair, it doesn't phase them one bit.  Personally, I would have maybe put up with one RROD, but after the second, my 360 would have gone bye-bye.  I will never understand how some of these people had the patience to put up with repeated hardware failures.

 

...but, I digress.  Excuse my off topic rant.

 



Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

Kurakasa, it is still you who's the dumb one.

am I the only person who owned a GC but refuse to buy a Wii?

nope. i wanted a Wii really bad when I first heard about it but now I wish I had just skipped it and gotten a graphics card.


why dont you like wii,cause of its graphics?

 

My reason for not liking wii has nothing to do with graphics. Heck, GC wasn't known for its graphcis (that was Xbox's job).

but more for the fact that I find Nintendo foresaken hardcore fans and blindly chasing after casual market. Motion control doesn't work as well as they are advertised (why am I still seeing TV ads of people jumping from the couch playing Wii?) , and more hardcore games i actually liked using GC control for a better control.

With crappy 3rd party pouring on. Games look less and less attractive for that console.

I am also a owner of DS, and I am also quite turned off with garbages on the shelf I see at stores. Now I just play 1% of all games on DS, and ignoring the rest.

 

 

P.S. purely my opinion.

 

No. That's not it. I was just saying that the graphics card would have been a better investment. I mostly agree with Kingofwale.

@kingofwale

GCN's graphics were really good. Have you heard of Resident Evil 4?

Kaurakasa if your just gonna h8 leave. your only hating because your trying to Detract from Wii, but only one thing comes to mind "Fanboy". This is a Gaming Site not a Fanboy site. I dont have a Wii but I still respect it for what its doing for Video Games Industry
