PS2 for classics you missed but Wii is also good since you can get play wii games and the gamecube games you missed.

A new console or an old console? You decide.

remember that while the PS2 does have a fantastic library of games, there will be few more released. You have already played a lot of the games on there and buying it now won't be a very useful purchase since you'll have few new games and mainly replaying old games.

A Wii, however, has a very bright future of games to look forward to.

 

I agree, however I have no desire to play any of them. I have a Wii, got SMG when I got the console, played half way though it, and have not bought another game (other then WiiFit). I have not turned it on in two months.

The point of this, is it's only a fun system, if what it does is fun for you. If you love PS2 games, and are excited about them, and are not dying to own a Wii, I would probably go the PS2 route.

If Zelda, MP, Mario, SSBB, and MK seem like something you really want to play, there is more of a future with the Wii.

 

Wow: I really want to say that Zelda is absolutetely in a different ballpark than Mario. Twilight Princess is an magnificent epic adventure that even on PS2 would be among the best and deepest games.

The truth is that there are a lot of deep games on Wii and a lot are coming. The PS2 is the second best system ever (imo, after the SNES) and you can't go wrong buying that, but I think for this gen Wii is going  to have a lot of amazing games. Next to a PS3 it's a very future proof setup.

Wii would be a good choice, and other quality games on it include Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Considering your choices, I think you'd like Tales of Symphonia 2 for it a lot.

On the other hand, the PS2 is also a good choice, but I'm assuming you've already played all the games you listed since you said you owned a PS2 before.

The question lies in whether you want to replay old classics that you've learned to love, or take a step into some new games that you've never tried before.

well, i sold my ps2 before i could play ffxii so i'm looking to play that, and your spot on, i have played through all the games i listed.

and the wii does offer a new experience. if i'm not mistaken, it can play gc games right? i owned a ps2 and still own an xbox...well srot off, i lent it to my brother-in-law. and there are games on the gc worth playing if i'm not mistaken.

though, i'm quite histant as i'm not quite sure what the future would bring for the wii.

 

There are definitely some good GC games to pick up when you have a Wii. Considering how you seem to love JRPGs, the first two choices that come to mind are Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos, I played them both and I loved them both. I also hear lots of good stuff about Skies of Arcadia, but I haven't played it myself. Besides RPGs, you've got Metroid Prime 1 and 2 which are both quality games that are worth trying out (well, if you don't like Metroid Prime 1, you should probably ignore 2 as well), you've got Wind Waker which is good, and as someone else said in this thread recently, REmake, which really grabs you with it's spooky atmosphere.

Get a ps2. If you don't have problem with last gen graphics, ps2 has much better library than the wii.

Sell your ps3 without bc and buy a ps3 with bc on ebay. You can buy a Wii once the price comes down and there are more good games.



psrock on 24 July 2008

right now, the wii is a much better choice, And i expect it to get better. It's really not that expensive if you can find one and the games looks fun.

That would cost more then buying a PS2 :(

Just buy a used ps2 for like $50. Then use the rest of your money to save up for a Wii. Then you have the best of last gen and the best of this gen.(:
