The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.
I don't see the need for a topic such as this. Enjoyment of different games and different consoles is all subjective. But, that being said, I will state that my enjoyment of the Wii (yes, I do own one) and its games has been significantly less than my enjoyment of my Xbox and its games. In my opinion, the Wii isn't as strong a console as the Xbox 360.
Lies. We all know that Alex holds that title. You're just a mere Brigadier General. "
And that would make me a Second Lieutenant? I think it's a shame some people can't see the Wii for what it is, a great console with a mix of great games and features that you can't find on other consoles. And you can say that about the 360 and PS3, both have great games and their own advantages. "
NEVER!!! CLASHING IDEOLOGIES MUST ALWAYS RESULT IN GENOCIDE!!! FUCK RESOLVING OUR ISSUES, TAKE THE ENEMY OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!! P.S. You are not part of the Army. You're part of the Navy. You get the title of Rear Admiral. "
But your going up against two armies the ps3 and 360 nations would happily settle their differences to stomp out the wii menace. Then once the wii is dealt with the ps3 and 360 nations will settle back into a uneasy time of peace.
Shadow Complex? Altitude? There no definate answer to 'The Wii Question' .. all i know is i have a Wii and a gaming PC, and 95% of my gaming ends up being on the PC. I'll bet this is the case with most people who have the Wii as a secondary console.. "
And I have 13 of the same games as your image (I can't make out the one under the GC controller). Do you use the Hand Cannons on RE4 & RE:UC? I must go back and play with them, as they are awesome (games and guns).
" I've been dealing with the Wii defense force for the last couple days, how they are talking about unfair criticisms of it and how there actually are great games on it. The truth is if the non of criticisms that the wii is notorious for and if there was really a ton of great games on it like the 360 and ps3. It would not get 1/100th the flak it gets. If there actually were as many great games and if the wii was as fun as the defense force so desperately says it is. Then no one would really disagree. it would be like saying the 360 or ps3 has no good games which is not true becuse that's where all the good games are. Basically if all of those criticisms were actualy unfair or untrue there would not need to be a Wii denfense force. The very existents of the Wii defense force proves my point. my point is that there are a ton of people that defend the Wii like crazy and say it's good enough to be your only console, but if that were true they would not need to defend it like crazy and we all would be like "yeah I know it's a good console" "
hmm.....
Well, first of all, I love the name Wii Defense Force, sounds nerdy enough for us.
Next, no.
The Wii's "goodness" is not measured by its praise on forums whose majority of users favor Xbox (giantbomb) nor any other forums praise for the system.
Just because they love to pick on a system that they probably do not own doesn't make it bad.
" @Meowayne: I like. And I have 13 of the same games as your image (I can't make out the one under the GC controller). Do you use the Hand Cannons on RE4 & RE:UC? I must go back and play with them, as they are awesome (games and guns). "
Games I played with the hand cannon: RE:UC, RE:DC, Overkill, HotD 2&3 returns, Dead Space: Extraction, Call of Duty 3 & 4.. and that's it, I think. Overkill and Extraction work unbelievably well with it, the Resident Evils not so much, RE4 doesn't work at all because you need to have access to more buttons.
The game under the GCN controller is Super Mario Galaxy. :)
"The Wii is great as a secondary, "different" console. For example, sidescrollers are having a huge comeback on the Wii like nowhere else in the console market. "

Neat, two games. Not sure what that has to do with the over a dozen Wii exclusive sidescrollers that came out this year and are coming out next year. But then, you were just being lazy to begin with.
Yep, another point for the Wii Defense Force. Wii Defense Force, GO! In the name of Truth, honor, and petty arguments over the vanity of a single human being grouping with other petty humans to fight against other petty people who are wasting their time not playing video games.

No, I'm saying the Wii sucks, don't you get it??? "
No, you just said "Epic Win! " dumbass. Don't you get it??? Thanks to this thread, we are expanding our members. Free advertisement bitch. You sir, are indeed in fact, EPIC FAILZ!!!!!111!!!!
"I think we can offer an apprenticeship ^-^ You will have to bring beer and women though. Can you do that? "
I have to pay to put my life on the line now? Man, you Nintendo special forces don't mess around. I'll see what I can do about the beer and the women. "
Yep, we Wii Defence Force are hard to the core. We have a very large community of women, small children and old people to protect. We do whatever if takes.
Threads like this are what turn good websites into shit. Don't like the Wii? Good for you, go shoot shit on the 360. Don't like the 360, good for you, go play some Mario. Why waste your time trying to convince other people why you are right and they are wrong? Who the fuck cares? The only thing threads such as this are good is proving who the trolls/morons of the forum are.

Well maybe the defense force wouldnt come out so often if people like you would stop posting slams against the Wii for no reason....
Im not a huge Wii Fanboy, Ive stated my opinion on it in several threads, So my only point here is that if there was nobody attacking the Wii there would be nobody defending it.

I think it is okay to make a blog to project your views as to why you wouldn't get "X" console, if it is a rationalising process, that is, why it just isn't inspiring you. On the other hand, just creating a thread to make a blanket criticism is even worse than going on a thread about a console that you don't like. All sites are full of this and is probably the biggest cause of friction on a games website. I have never got why people do it, but they do. This one just got taken essentially off topic by turning into a huge joke, which ironically was what it was to start with (not in a good way).

@Bellum: Forgot my Ritalin this morning, sorry. But really, once you guys become ancient like me, your patience will grow thin with stupid shit like bickering about console superiority.

The Wii is my only console, i'm pretty happy with it, and I don't defend it like crazy, so your logic fails.

i had the same opinion as @trophyhunter but that was until i actually played a wii in my cousin's house...sure it makes you move like a idiot if you playing wii sports(at least makes me), and lacks good rpg, but it's a lot fun and could perfectly be my main.. if didin't love my 360 so much, shame i don't have the money to buy and suplly with good 2 consoles at same time (dawn you brazilian import taxes)
