Forums - Nintendo - Should I get a Wii or 360?

SuperSteveyLes on 02 November 2008

A Wii, then you can play Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Super Paper Mario, the list goes on. Not to mention the fabulous Virtual Cosole, which allows you to download classic games.... mmmmmmmm classic games, slurp.

Screw VC, we got emulators :)

However, the fact that you have a PS3 makes it an easier choice. You have most of your bases covered... the Wii's the one you should go for.

I'd go for a Wii, the 360 doens't offer that much if you already have a PS3, unless you really want the 360 exclusives

@Xen Um the Wii has emulators too. Actually that is what the virtual console is, emulators. There are even ways you could get games that aren't available on the virtual console to work through it.

Tabsina, you just made a really interesting list of exclusives. For your 360 list, you leave out incredibly obvious games such as Tales of Vesperia (yet you include the vastly worse Blue Dragon) whereas in your Wii exclusives list, you include a bajillion remakes along with games that aren't even exclusive (Twilight Princess, for example). And Halo 1 and 2 are 360 games? If so, why not name the hundreds of Xbox games playable on the 360? Don't forget all the Gamecube games that can be played on the Wii.

 

That!!

I know. The Wii port of Snes9x, through the homebrew channel, for example? I use Snes9x on my GC :)

Try out the Wii before you go out and buy it. I was about to get one, but after playing with it for an hour or so, I got pretty sick of it. The experience might be better for you, but that's all I can add to it. Otherwise, get the 360. Quite a few charming exclusives on there.



Currently playing: Marvel vs. Capcom 3, League of Legends

Actually you could just inject rom files into a .wad(VC/Wiiware file). This is done by taking out the rom that was originally in the .wad and putting a different one of the same console in using a hex editor and some other things. Its very confusing at first, but after you figure  it out it works much better than Snes9x being that it uses the emulators made by Nintendo themselves. Also it gets listed as one of your channels like any VC game. The only problem with that is the channel heading is the same as the original  game that you took out. Most of my games though I try to find the original copy for since I love collecting them as well as playing them, but if they are extremely rare and aren't available through VC or Online(at a reasonable price $100>) then I will just inject them and play them on my Wii. Or in some cases where my games battery doesn't work and I can't save(Chrono Trigger is one of them) I would do this.

You already got a PS3, so I say Wii. Of course, if you have to ask why you should buy a Wii, you may want to try it out first. It helps a lot if you're already into Nintendo's franchises.
