What a fucking douche

1) Nobody gives a shit about what you're going to do with your console.
2) Gamecube had no good games.

(has a sudden urge to play F-zero GX)..

Fable II is an excellent game. Virtua Fighter has no idea what its about, its everything Fable was, only this time its good, i hated Fable, but this gets it right.

See, theres his problem. Gamecube games = shit. There were only 2 worth playing, and 1 of those got ported to PS2 and PC in an even better form (RE4)

Was I the only one 1337 enough to resist buying a console with the same name kids call their weiner?

I haven't bought one.

Ive bought 2 and sold both of them, can I has be in your teh club?

In the last month, I've bought a $200 phone, and a $250 iPod Touch... out of what amounts to impulse. And I'm still not touching the Wii for a bit. Not until their price point takes a dip.

I never fell for it either.

I really wanted to like the Wii before it came out.  I loved the concept and I still think new control methods have more scope to advance gaming than just graphical and computational brawn.  The also promised to make gaming cheap again, and I liked the way Nintendo were thinking outside the norm.

Course it has to be a mix of everything, processing power for pretty graphics, immersive sound, AI, physics etc, online to bring everyone and everything together, AND increased immersivity from controls and viewing methods.

The problem was the Wii promised the controls bit but failed to live up to expectations (1-to-1 lightsaber damnit!), and pretty much failed at the rest too.  It certainly wasnt cheap.  Then to kill it off it became a 'must-have accessory" for non-gamers to buy other non-gamers for Christmas, for the novelty of waggling something at a TV to make something happen. 

Any decent games that would then come out on the platform would get completely overshadowed by the image it has developed.  I'm sure there are good games on the platform, which have been specifically developed for the platform and for gamers, with a smooth framerate and original ideas, but because of the above I have near zero interest now.

Maybe Wii2 or WiiWii might do it, actually they really need to change the name!  The decision to call it a Wii was a tragic one...

The difficulty is they cant possibly develop a console that caters to such extremes of gamer demographic, and please at one end the gamer freak with twitch reflexes of a fly and at the other end the gamer mum with twitch reflexes of an elephant.  If they do try to it will inevitably end it a machine that is diluted in concept for both parties.

Why yes, there are good Wii games. About 3 to be exact.

The problem with the wii is why would I pay $250 for last gen hardware with a bunch of shovelware when if you want last gen you could get an Xbox or PS2 cheaper. Ive decided until I see a game on Wii that looks better than Chaos Theory on the original xbox, the console is a useless peice of shit. When you struggle to top last gens graphics and gameplay then theres a problem.

F-Zero GX sucked, btw.

Its like almost every other Nintendo franchise: downhill after the N64 version.

Bah-zing!

Not sure how this thread ended up here, but F-Zero GX was excellent.  I'd like to see it re-released on XBLA.

Kill yourself for that statement. Dumbass.

It was awesome and still is.. pure perfection and immaculately produced.    People like  Immortal / Emofag won't understand as they haven't a clue of what qualities a truely great game consists of.  Reason why i never bother argue.

FZero GX is nothing but FZero X with better graphics. Wow, how amazing!!
