You (rocketpig) sound kinda confused and confusing, hmm? You sell it and are mad at it but you say its a great system. If its so great then bother selling it at a loss!? If still no good games, then why is it a great system?

 It's a great system with nothing of interest to him.



Around the Network

People do tend to be terribly impatient these days. I know a guy who has bought the DS three times. First time to own it, no games for it, so he sold it. Second time: Games came out he had to have so he bought another one, another slow period, got bored, sold it. Third Time: More games came out he had to have so he bought a DS Lite, another slow period, got bored, sold it. Now he's looking at buying it a fourth time because of FFXII Revenant Wings. Oh well, more money for Nintendo I guess. I imagine there will be alot of people doing the same for the Wii too. People were so spoiled by the PS2's constant shoveling out of games the second any console doesn't do the same, they grow weary of it.



It's just nonsese selling a Wii for buying one again some time in the not very near future, why did you sold it in the first place, it's a good deal you say?

You are spending 500 USD minus the 180, is 320 USD for a 250 Console, how brilliant is that. If you want to wait, just keep in the closet or something, you just wanted to see the reaction of the forum over this, and have yourself a little attention, pitiful.

It's funny to hear the pleas to keep the Wii. It's a great system, don't get me wrong. It's just too early for a gamer like me. I want a system that has 5 or more games that I want to play RIGHT NOW.

And right now, I've beat all the games I want to play on the console. 

5 games? Did you beat Super Paper Mario, RE4, Zelda, Trama Center, Harry Potter?

5 games? Don't you still play just for fun Wario Ware, Wii Sports, Big Brain Academy, Mario Party,  and any old downloadable game?

5 games? Can't you wait for SSMB, Metroid, My Sims, Madden 08, Fifa 08, Boogie, RE:UC, and there are alot more coming SOON.



This is my signature.

That's great for you. :).

[Whisper]I don't have the heart to tell him it isn't... :/[/whisper]



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

Except the PSP's been out for much longer...I wish some good games would freakin come out for that thing by now....

If you look for the games you will find them. If you keep complaining that there are no good games you won't...

This perception of no good PSP games is really becoming group think.


Yeah, I really don't get the common perception that there are no good games for the PSP. I think that some people feel that most of these are avaliable on the PS2, but better, which is why I think that porting the GTA stories or more recently syphon filter is a bad idea. However, I must say that Daxter is the finest  platformer avaliable, until Uncharted comes out.

Back to the top: I'm not suprised that you sold your Wii, most games are simply short mini games, or cheap ports of better 360/PS3 games



add me

I sold my 3 Wiis I had no attachment to for $75 profit a pop in Feb. I found them at a Walmart. hehe.

Outside of that, the only system I ever sold was my Xbox. I got somewhere near $150 for it (this wasnt too long ago, right after I got my 360).

Aside from the cash, I wish I woulda kept it, as there are quite a few games I can't BC (KUF, NCAA 05, Dai Senriaku 7, Shattered Union).



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Great here come the Sony reinforcements... Oye... can't you at least pretend to be objective when bashing the Wii?

The PSP has alot of good games, however most of those are basically of the same few genres the PSP excels at and only appeal to a limited audience to begin with. Alot are PS2 ports, alot just aren't worth caring about to people not looking to justify the PSP. The PSP does well because of its homebrew by and large, not its games. If you're going to yell at anyone for saying the PSP doesn't have "good" games then yell at Reality first since it was the first one to bring the lack of PSP game appeal to our attention. But by god why listen to what I have to say when you can just keep beating this same old dead horse of an argument over and over because it appears it never gets old no matter how many times it has to be beaten back into the shadows with the truth.



no games for the PSP ???? no games ???? I have almost every NES and SNES games on my PSP that I played back in the day, I play the living daylights out of it, for me time could have stopped after the SNES those where the golden years of gaming for me and now I take them all everywhere I go, I could never sell it, oh and I do play some real PSP games, Street Fighter Alpha, Burnout, Ratchen and Clank all very good, but yes I get your point if you only play the real PSP games and take a look at what the DS has it is kinda depressing, 

God bless emulation

 

And now lets get back to Rocketpigs Wii:

I first met rocketpigs Wii in the summer of 89, it was full of live and new ideas, the world was ours to take, but than the drugs came and the endless coke-parties with hundreds of prostitutes, we all knew this dream would not last forever but rocketpigs Wii would have nothing of it. He became violent and paranoid, sometimes beating up PS3s for no reason at all. Then he had to go to jail because of the incident in that airplane. Last time I saw rocketpigs Wii was in 2003 when he banged at my door at 4am. begging for a hit, I called the cops on him, today I regret this.

Rocketpigs Wii, you were a true friend, good night little prince.
