Honestly, I don't see myself playing the Wiimick, after playing PS3/X360 games...

Honestly.

After playing some PS3 games on a HDTV, or some kick-*** 360 games in the near future, who thinks that gamers might put that Wiimote down for some real gaming.

While I would love to play Metroid Prime on the Wii, I don't see myself spending a lot of time with a system with GC graphic qualities, esp. after some serious graphic candy from PS3/360 games. And yes, I love graphics, and gameplay.

Besides, other than Zelda, and Metroid, I wouldn't play any Wii games. Most of them are just... kiddish.

I rather not swing my hands with the controller. Call me lazy, but I like to relax when playing games.

[Nino]

Ok. I do.

[Shaka]

Fanboy.

Call me a fanboy... but I don't own a DS, I've never touched a Gamecube controller, and haven't played a nintendo game since N64... which I lost after lending to a friend. And it's worth mentioning that I have an HDTV, but I still want to wave a magic Wii-and to play Wii Sports boxing and Raving Rabids.

It may be just a gimick but how do you bring PS3 into the conversation and not point a finger at the Tilting controller. What a joke, you can't tell me they had that planned all along, but, on a positive not for PS3 hardcores... it's early enough in the lifespan for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen software to make an interesting difference in gameplay.

The main reason I want it is just for backwards compatibility, the thing just looks better than the Gamecube. I'll get one at launch but the first game I'll be buyting (other than Wii Sports) will probably be Resident Evil or the new Smash Bros.

[Nino]

You'll have to wait a bit for Smash Brothers Brawl and Resident Evil. It depends on my budget but I dont think I'll get a Wii at launch anymore, the only interesting launchgame at the moment is Excite Truck (for me at least) so maybe I'll wait for Mario Galaxy or Smash Brothers til I get a Wii...

[Rival24]

I think I might get Zelda though.

[Nino]

Never been a big Zelda fan, I don't like men in tights

[Rival24]

I only finished Zelda on the SNES and Gameboy. This would be the first 3d Zelda for me so I'm sure if I want to get it.

[Nino]

I like the Zelda theme though.

[Cage]

I like the zelda cartoon

[Rival24]

Mario > Zelda!

[Nino]

Mega Man > (Zelda + Mario)

[Rival24]

You're funny

I do. And I do think I'll also be putting down the 360 controller now and then to grab the Wiimote for some fun games.

Not everything in life is about graphics and immersion, and variety is the spice of life.

You never played OoT? You disgust me... ;P Hurry, start emulating it- Err, Go to a store and get an old cartridge and a N64... NOW.

[Zerodisorder]

Yea, that and Majoras Mask were great.

I wasn't too keen on Majora's Mask... The whole time thing left me very frustrated at times...

If a Stars Wars game comes out on the Wii where I can swish a lightsaber around with the Wiimote I'm afraid the 360 is history.

[Zerodisorder]

Yea cause you'd swing to hard and knock it off your entertainment center

A lot of things 'sound' cool on paper, but I think LucasArts will manage to screw the fun out of it (maybe). Just a thought.


How many games have sounded cool, but end up being shit? A LOT.

Yeah most games are over-hyped or fall prey to bad excecution.

But we're talking Lightsabers here! Lightsabers!

Swooshing them around and stuff!

At least it'll be something different. The 360's just treading the same old path with the same old games, an endless procession of FPS, driving games and sports simulations that we've been playing for years and years. The release schedule for the 360 is dull as ditchwater for people who are tired of gunning down enemies with weak AI in a corridor or paying another £50 for a new team roster. Whizzing a virtual lightsaber around looks pretty good from where I'm standing, no matter how badly it's implemented!

[Zerodisorder]

A couple years ago I remember this virtual reality Star Wars game where you fought the person in the one right next to you. And at the time I thought it was cool, but you swung your arms yet, the lightsaber only went up and down and you really had no control. That ruined the fun of it.

At least that won't happen on the way On the Red Steel homepage (click) there's a huge movie on this guy playing the game on the Wii, and that had me really impressed and wanting this game. On the other hand, for most action or racing games I'd prefer my 360: I don't want to sit waving my hands at everything all the time, and then I want the better graphics and sound definitely.
