Forums - Nintendo - Is it possible to have the Wii as your primary console?

lapsed_gamer on 29 November 2008

"I'm just stating the fact that anyone over 11 is going to get bored of the Wii in general eventually."

 

Please don't use or imply the word fact here. That is what is drawing the fire. There were many people in this thread before you who gave their opinions that the Wii was not a good primary console for them. Opinions are welcome.

Pasted from Open Office. I guess I am paranoid about my spelling now in this thread.

If you're under 11: Yes.

If you're over 11: No. The time will come when waggling the Wiimote will no longer be the fun novelty it once was. The time will come when you just want to pickup a pad, laze down on a futton or bed, and just play normally, without putting any physical strain on your body. The novelty wears off way to fast for it to be a dedicated console this GEN. That kinda explain why there are so many second hand units around.

 

 I just love it how people talk like what theyre saying is a known fact. So Again, something must be wrong with me because all i do is" pickup a wiimote, laze down on a futton or bed, and just play normally, without putting any physical strain on your body"

 

I must be an anomaly.

Learn to punctuate before quoting me. I feel rather silly replying to someone who cannot use simple grammar.

Anyway, time to address that not so valid point.
95% of Wii games require you to gayly waggle the Wiimote at least once every 45 seconds. The other 5% of games also work on GameCube.

 

Learn to provide reliable proof ad links (what? See me after class.), otherwise you'll just look like an idiot 'TROLLING'. So, please show me a reliable site that has gone through a thorough analysis of all Wii games and decided that 95% of all Wii games require you to waggle the Wiimote at least once every 45 seconds.

 

Really, you sound like an idiot. You cannot validate your points, so you criticise the people correcting your stupidity. THAT sounds like somthing a 4 year old would do.

 

Proof ad links? Wutlulz?!
Find me a Wii game where waggling the Wiimote once every 45 seconds isn't apparent.

I don't need to backup my points as anyone with more than one brain cell will reach that conclusion eventually. It's like the age old saying-


"2 + 2 = 4".

 

 

Are you retarted? Define Waggling. I'm waiting...

Oh, and here's a non-waggling one, just in case I have your "Definition" right:
Sonic and the Secret Rings

Retarted? According to the English Dictionary....'To remove pastry from a tart before laying a fresh sheet over it."

Gawwwwd. By waggling I mean any random hand motion. Jeeeeez. Way to take the whole thing out of context.

Sonic And The Secret Rings
No More Heroes
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Zak & Wiki
Excite Truck
Super Mario Strikers
Bleach: Shattered Blade
Monster 4x4: World Circuit
Red Steel
Medal Of Honor: Heroes 2
Mario Kart Wii
Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock
Madden '07
Madden '08
Madden '09
Rock Band
Rock Band 2
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Call Of Duty: World At War

That's TWENTY, just in case you can't count!

 

I'm sorry, I seem to have missed this list. Either way, each and every one of these games requires some sort of movement of the Wiimote aside from Rock Band, in which I suppose you just hit bits of plastic.

By waggle, I generalise 'any movement in general aside from pressing buttons which has a direct effect on gameplay'.  Unfortuanetly, none of the games you have listed fall under this category. So, you fail.

1.) I'm making decisions regarding the OP (whatever the hell that means) because the title of the thread is-

*drum roll*

"Is it possible to have the Wii as your primary console?"

2.) Biased point of view? What biased point of view? I have a Wii. First two games I ever got for it were Red Steel and Twilight Princess. I enjoyed TP thoroughly. I'm just stating the fact that anyone over 11 is going to get bored of the Wii in general eventually. I got mine December 12th, mere days after launch, £240 quid deal from Gamestation. Biased point of view my ass. If you look at some of my other posts, you'll see I criticise all consoles.

3.) Please find me these lists. Can you? No?

4.) I've been banned before...so? I'm still cleverer, smarter and hell of a lot less console driven than you.

5.) Look at the situation with open eyes? Okay then.


*looks with open eyes*

Yes. I can safely conclude you're a tart. Are we finished? Are you going to report me for being correct? Oh noooooes.

 

1-Original post. The point of this thread.

2-My ass owns a Wii, you obviously dont own one, given your random insulting and flaming of the console. Its not sofisticated, its not smart, its not backed up.

3-I gave you very simple instructions to reach the lists. I thought they were vimple enough, ill try to be clearer for the slower once of us. In this very site, VGCHARTZ, you can find lists of 'good Wii game'. Countless threads im sure. Hell i think one of them might be stickied on the Nintendo forums. If you still cant find them, google it, its not that hard. If you were a Wii owner, as you so claim, and if you really believe you have rightfuly say in this thread, you should already know it.

4-Lol thats what you say? Thats all? What are you 12 (obviously your older than 11). You cant back up your trolling so you start to insult people. Thats great. It really shows just how 'smart' you are.

Which is it?

'random hand motion'

or

'any movement in general aside from pressing buttons which has a direct effect on gameplay'

If you can't tell the difference that is the problem.

Ill be suprised if there are even 50% of Wii games that have 'random hand motions'. Hell id go for even 30%

Don't give numbers without anything to back them up if you asked him not to.

Edit: Looks like L.C.E.C. helped you start.

 

 The numbers i gave were not in any factual context. I am not giveing them as facts, i am given them as what i would expect.

1- The original post was addressed.

2- See? Presumptions. I've not owned one Wii, I've owned several. Some of which have had 'modifications' to say the least...
(The very first page on the following link, which dates a while back, should prove it.
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=76175&page=3 )



3- I never said anything about a BAD WII GAME you douche. I just said 'A list of wii games that don't require a waggle/ generalised hand movement.'

4- Yes. I'm 12. Kudos to you my good sir for finding that out. A 12 year old is smarter and has better grammar than you. For shaaaaaammme!!!

Wrong again, Dumbass, you defined Waggle as "any random hand motion", so you're wrong, and YOU fail at LIFE.

Also, since you're being a lying dick about your own definition, which is why I asked you in the first place, Red Steel, Super Smash Bros., Guitar Hero III, Guitar Hero:WT, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Rock band (Again), Rock Band 2, CoD: WaW, and Medal Of Honor: Heroes 2 REQUIRE no motion controls, along with Sonic: UNLEASHED, DBZ: Budokai Tenchaichi 2, DBZ: Budokai Tenchaichi 3, Naruto: Clash of Ninja: Revolution, Naruto: Clash of Ninja: Revolution 2, and  Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

"[hitting] bits of plastic"? In rock band, all you DO is press God-damn buttons, with the exception of the drums, which, you are not REQUIRED to play with any MOTION AT ALL!

SOOOOO, not only is your point null, but sinking down to your lying, cheating level, there are still 15 games that require absolutely ZERO Motion control.
