@Carl and Darth

A lot of people have said its the best, just go look at some of the threads here on VGC

So you are trying to say that NSMB Wii is better than FF XIII?

Yes, completely, although how fair it is to compare a JRPG to a Mario platformer is a question.

So we can judge that by reviews then? Good, I'll take a permaban bet.

You get permabanned if FF13 has a higher Metascore than NSMBWii, I get permabanned if the reverse happens.


Good? Great.

^ROFL not one reply of substance from any of you lol, guess that just proves my point

Oh? And I suppose "Wii HD, enough said" is a reply just FULL of substance?

You're out of your mind.

Oh it completely is, because a Wii HD isn't needed in any way, so why call for it, why the constant drone of Wii HD in 2010 or 2011 when it makes no sense from Nintendo's standpoint to release one?

LOL, you keep calling it crazy, but that just proves you have no response

False - Ninty want the big hit games on Wii - MW2, AC2 etc. To do that, they need HD.

No they don't, you can make those games on the Wii, just remake the game on an engine that can run on the Wii, thing is, most companies don't actually do that, they instead create a stripped down port or on rails shooter which then fails, then they claim there is no Wii market for those games

Exactly. Is it worth the costs creating a whole new engine? No. If Ninty went HD they would get the big hit games. Reggie has said he wants them on Wii. To do that, they will have to pay the dev's a load of money to make it worth putting the games on Wii, or go HD.

Please tell me where I had ever said Wii HD in my entire post history, let alone in this thread.

Also, what in the hell are you talking about? You've completely dodged the subject. You said our replys lacked substance, yet your reply was FOUR WORDS LONG and didn't make any sense AND it wasn't relevent.

You lose.

Where was I talking about you?  I was talking about the calls for a Wii HD.

It was completely relevant, and completely full of substance as I pointed out when you asked to elaborate, however even if you try to elaborate your comments, they will remain without substance.

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

No, because I said anything about reviews, reviews are just opinions, but unlike FF13, NSMB Wii will continue to sell for years, a game that sells that long shows that the public finds it appealing, if they didn't word of mouth would kill it.

Also I never take bets, sorry

Dear lord man... You don't know more than the people making these games. Stop acting like it. If the solution was that easy they'd already done it by now.

If they know so much, then why are so many of their companies losing money?

I can see why, almost every single prediction in your sig is wrong. Especially the 80 million Wii's by the end of 2009.
