The Nintendo Wii kicks so much ass

It really comes down to what you look for in a game.

I think the Wii is very fun. How Nintendo manages to fix the controller issues, and if they can continue to produce games that utilize the innovation of the controller/remote will be their make or break.

Wii sports is fun and Zelda is a good game. Madden on Wii was decent at best, Tiger Woods is fun but so damn inaccurate...again, the innovation which is so exciting only goes so far. I just don't see how the that controller alone will be able to be used for other titles and be used effectively without Nintendo coming out with an additional device.

The PS3's controller, while it has some "interactiveness" and 360s that doesn't, still allow a gamer to do more within a game and give developers more options. Add in the fact that they both have amazing graphics, and amazing sound...especially on HDTVs!

According to IGN the most violent videogame they have ever seen, the new Manhunt game, is coming to the Wii and they are already saying the Wii version is the version to go with because of the use of the wireless hand motions for "killing techniques"...there goes those theories, especially from Sony fan-boys, that the Wii is for children only....btw their is nothing more annoying than Sony fan-boys.....

Fanboys of any system are annoying...

I think that would be pretty interesting to see how that works.
Like, if you're stabbing someone...hahaha! Sweet!

Can you imagine seeing someone playing that game and not realize what they were doing? You'd think they were fuckin' nuts!

Haven't played it yet, but the Godfather game has those abilities; you "strangle" with the remote, etc.

Weird. I love mine. Can't get enough of Tiger.

To me a fanboy just rips into any system other than his...which seems to accompany Sony fans a lot...but yeah every system has them...for me I enjoy my Wii however I am urging for the higher end output of a X360 or PS3....however everyday I lean more and more to the X360...PS3 still to this day seems like a lost cause to me....however it may turn around for them.....time will tell....

Future of gamin my friend. Once they hammer out the problems with the controls everyone will hop on the motion sensitive bandwagon. The PS3 actually did put in a half-assed last minute motion feature into their new controller.
Next generation will utilise it far more.

Nope. Entirely too much exercise.

Yeah, I just WANT an excuse to own all three.
At this time, I can see strengths and weakness in all of them.

For me, and I know people will see all three differently...

Wii:
Pros: Very fun to play. Wii sports is pretty fun. Zelda is a great game. System is cheaper then the other two.
Cons: Controller is still quite inaccurate which is frustrating at times. Poorest graphics of the three. Only one game on it (so far) that I would buy. How the developers can continue to work around the remote will be interesting to see.

PS3:
Pros: Amazing graphics and sound, tremendous potential, great games and features coming out soon, Blu-ray built in.
Cons: Expensive! Not that many games out that I would drop $50+ for.

360:
Pros: Largest selection of games on all 3 systems, great graphics and sound! Cheaper then the PS3. X-Box live is great.
Cons: The "equivalent" (Elite) to a PS3 costs almost as much. I see MS looking ahead and realizing they may have some more competition in the near future. If Blu-ray comes down in price it may be odd-man out.

And yeah...if I had the money I'd get all three...:p

I got my wii last weekend. Had this week off work with laryngitis so I've been hammering it hard

Nintendo has always made consoles for 10 year olds as far as i remember, can never be bothered with games like mario, zelda, donkey kong or any other stupid platform games where you run about collecting gold coins and shit. Not interested in that, playstations were the only ones i bought and ill probably get a ps3 when i get a bit of money together.

Did you not read the previous post about the game Manhunt 2??? Where you get to slice and dice people with the motion of the controller??? ...Wii has very adult games. Manhunt, Scarface, Resident Evil, and so on... much more variety.

You can get games like that on playstation without having to put up with the big releases being aimed at school kids though.

Playing Manhunt or GTA will not make your cock any bigger, it will not make you more of a man, it's not "cooler". They are all games, whether youre poppin some guy in the head an jumping into a car or jumping on top of a brightly coloured mushroom. I hate this status bullshit that is in every debate about gaming.

I know they dont, neither does posting sarcastic replies, but playing games where you run around adventure land collecting gold rings and rescuing princesses from big monsters doesnt appeal to me, that is all. I have my opinions about what kind of games i dont like and like, forget the status bullshit you mention. As nintendo seems to host a lot of these childlike games, it doesnt 'kick ass' as the thread title claims. In my opinion obviously.

A 10 year old couldn't complete Mario 64 or Zelda.

Smash Bros!! uses four controller configs. Nice job Nintendo.

I love my 360 but WII looks like a blast.

Did anyone see Run's House where Russy was suppose to buy clothes but bought a Wii instead? The Rev was trying to discipline Russy but ended up playing Wii. I thought that was riot!
