No, trash-talk on X360 and PS3 is definately not for the older people. In fact nothing irritates me more than stupid kids screaming 'n00b' every 5 seconds.

I choose innovative games from wii, than games from x360 and ps3, which are sequels of sequels ;)

I still don't understand why people always go with the "Wii is for kids" crap. I remember in HS people used to attack me because I played Nintendo games which were for "babies" and didn't play games like Halo 2. Yes, the people in my High School were idiotic Microsoft Fanboys. It was annoying.

Though, the Wii isn't exactly for kids. If you can notice, it's already getting some Rated M games. If I'm not mistaken, those are definitely NOT for kids. Neither are Rated T games. Unless of course we have parents buying their young kids those games, then that's their problem... and mistake, might I add.

Either way, there's already games for the Hardcore Gamers and Casual Gamers alike. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii are basically for the hardcore ones. Games like Wii Fit are for those casual ones. Also, there are more games to come anyway. So I won't have a problem once one of my favorites(Tales of Symphonia 2) gets released.

Also: To the people attacking Nintendo for those "crappy" games. That's not their fault. The 3rd Party Companies are making those, go ahead and attack them if you'd like.

The WII drives me nuts. They havent had many games that have interested me. I would like to get Animal Crossing though. Its not very easy to find a WII around here so they must be popular. The WII just isnt for me though.

Why do you think people say Wii is for kids? Why do think think it is just a "fad"? Why you think they believe it is for "Grandmas and soccer moms"?

Nintendo purposely portrays that image themselves. Anyone see the E3 conference? Not one thing directed towards any old school, "hardcore" gamer. Nothing in that presentation has anything about why we used to love Nintendo so much. They completely veered off their "usual" formula, and went into this "kids, fad, grandmas and soccer mom" mode that they keep showing off.

Nintendo E3 press conference in 60 seconds, YouTube - Nintendo's E3 2008 Press Conference in 60 Seconds . All you need to see to understand the gist of it.

Me being on the internet enough, I know there are games on the Wii that cater to my gaming "demographic", but Nintendo just wants to brush us aside for these casual "non-gamers".


I was just hoping they showed footage of MadWorld right in the middle of that conference. Scare all the children away! :P

I don't hate the Wii. I don't own one and don't plan to just because there aren't many games on it that interest me. I have no problem with the console itself.

I do not like the Wii because of the motion sensor controllers, I have problems with it not doing what I want and not responding to the movement. Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Kart are the only games I have no problem with that is because I use a GameCube controller.

Try using the plastic stand that was included with the Wii for the sensor bar... that alone worked wonders for my Wii's setup. Also, if that still doesn't work, Nintendo is releasing the MotionPlus sometime soon - which will enhance the way that the controllers pickup the motions that you use.

I tried a Wii that was on display at the mall. The game was Mario Galaxy and it seemed fun, though I need more time with it. I was not a huge fan of the controls, but even the SNES felt awkward coming off the NES.

I like the addition of the stylus to portable gaming (Nintendo DS) probably more than separating core controls into two hands. I mean, I'm very fidgety... what if I gotta scratch something??

Wii... definitely don't hate it, but somewhat hesitant.

I really ****ing hate the Wii. The only games I enjoyed playing, are those played with the Gamecube remote. To me, it's one ****** gimmick. I dunno if it was me, but the motion sensing is just ****ing terrible. I couldn't throw a left punch in Wii Boxing, and to me, the motion sensing is just ****ing argravating.
