Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Must... have... Wii

Ok...Streets of Rage costs $8. Wii Play costs $10. I wouldn't mind either one, but Wii Play is new and great for parties...what's the big freakin deal?

It's fine if you don't want to buy the game...but protest? It's like, less than half the cost of a pizza!

Gee, pizza must be overpriced in Chicago. I can two larges for 15 dollars near me.

 

@Onimusha

Just because the Wii is cheaper doesn't mean it's cheap. After sales tax, it's nearly $300, and that's not an impulse price for me. Besides, how often do you see me blatantly troll? Once every few days, or a week? 

I don't want to sound ignorant and say you hate me for pointing out the truth, because that would make me sound like a jackass.

My comment was just too blunt for some of you little powder puffs. Oh, I'm sorry, did I vaguely troll in a way that applies to all consoles? 

HOPE YOU DON'T REPORT ME!!!

agree on MP3 and Zelda... don't buy Wii play, just buy the wiimote, the game is terrible, so just those two and wait for mario and SSBB

 That's not completely true...  there is one game on that disc which is damn well worth playing... 

 TANK BATTLE...

The other games suck.... 



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

I'll challenge ANYONE to prove this.

I spent last night playing Wii with my partner.....and we played Wii Play 

We would have played for 2-3hrs, and went through every one of the games.

By far her favourite game (and one I always liked) was the Pool/Snooker game. We would have had 15 games on it last night. The fishing was also popular, and the 'Mii Rotate'  game was up there as well.

Played a little Tank Battle, but it was generally too complex for her (moving, shooting, aiming all at once).

Her least favourites were the laser hockey (too hard for her to control), table tennis (boring). 

...

Just because gamers on this board don't like a game - that doesn't mean that the game sucks.

If the game would completely suck, no one would recommend it as a purchase - and it wouldn't have sold 6m+ copies worldwide (to date).

My sister hasn't played video games since they went 3-D. I got her really into Wii Sports and Wii Play. They really help prodigal gamers find their way back into the fold!

I tallied up the suggestions made above and it looks like this:

Zelda - 10
Super Paper Mario - 8
RE4 - 8
Godfather - 5
Rayman Raving Rabbids - 5
WiiPlay - 4
Excite Truck - 4
Warioware - 4
Elebits - 3
Strikers - 3
SSXBlur - 3
Sonic - 2
Scarface - 2
Trauma Centre - 2

Anticipated Titles:

Nights
No More Heroes
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2

I think that kind of says it all. WiiPlay has two games that are played in my house regularly, the Tanks and the Pool. Those are definitely worth five clams a piece.

There was no mention made of price in your initial statement, you just said: Want a recommendation? don't bother buying the Wii. There's really no truth in that, the only claim of price was made after the fact in your sloppy defense which I never called trolling. Even then you must surely recognize how thin the legitimacy of any argument is in regards to using price to justify your original statement. I also made no mention of the frequency of your trolling. Guess you're just another malcontent who can't handle the fact they made the wrong choice in choosing a console and with all the negative press building on the Sony bandwagon are finally beginning to crack just like Hus and jjseth did.

Lol, also if you don't want to sound like a "jackass" try not calling people powder puffs, it works. In the end you simply just let your temper get the better of you, made a comment you know you shouldn't have and now you're just scrambling to make excuses for it and play the proud card at the same time. Pity your defense forces you to not only put words in other people's mouth sthat were never said but then needlessly resort to name calling, if you only you could control that temper of yours you wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.



Chill out everyone - lets keep the respect level up.

Remember... if you don't feel that you have anything *positive* to contribute to a thread... move along... nothing to see here, just move along...!

Also, to add to what Shams said. Hoboscientist logged into the site once. He/she asked their question, made one reply in the thread and hasn't come back since. There was no reason to jump all over each other over something so silly.
