Srsly.

This game is just as good if not better than the original/sequel.

Anyone else buy it?

So that's like what... 3 reasons? But yeah, it looks quite fun.

I'm glad someone made this snarky post so I didn't have to.

Can I use the classic controller? I'm so tired of the motion controls, they're annoying, imprecise, and they make me look like a moron.

Not to mention they're purely novelty - but I guess that's what the Wii is anyway.

Right, sure it is

You can post all the sales numbers you want but my wii just sits there collecting dust. We play the xbox far more often and for longer periods of time. There are actually, you know, fun games on there. I keep threatening to sell the wii but my stepson wants to keep it for some reason (even though he never plays it).

You can play Punch-Out!! with the wii-mote on it's side like an NES controller. It has the exact same controls as the NES game. So, no- you don't have to use the motion controls.

My wii gets the most play.

But it's all spent running emulated SNES games.

Just because it worked doesn't mean that it isn't a huge gimmick.

I'm more partial to the Fight Night series, myself. Punch Out played it's part in my life, it was great fun, but I had to move on!

this is clearly a parody thread

The wii is fun but only with groups of people. I don't see as many group games that are as fun on the other systems.

I want Punch-Out! and MadWorld.

Just because it sells really well doesn't mean it isn't a huge gimmick. I'll tell you, working at a game store you quickly realize 99% of people buy a Wii cause they play one...then realize there's only 3 or 4 games they really want. And immediately start saving for a 360 to actually play.

The sales figures don't show that because the 360 only sells in America, and the PS3 is obviously the worst seller because of its price point, but a lot of people buy into the gimmick then leave their Wii to collect dust after a month or two.

Like me

I just offered to trade my Wii for my friends acoustic guitar... and they announce Metroid Prime 1 and 2 being ported to the Wii.

Never heard of it.

Metroid rules though.

Complete opposite for me. That 360 was a complete waste of money, same with my room-mates ps3.
The wii though... it still sees daily usage and has done so since release.

Everything's backwards down under.

What games exactly are you playing on a daily basis

Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Starfox.

Wii is pretty good for adventure games too; point and click interface and all.

Wii Sports, Smash Bros Brawl, Madworld, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart.
Those are just off the top of my head of games that geerally get a daily look in (though madworl doesnt get much of one) theres also plenty of games that merely get looked in now and then, like metroid pikmin and stuff
I don't know why it it's so popular to bash the wii on massassi, but hey, whatever fads you wanna follow you want. I just think it'd be nice if you guys faced the fact that some people actually play and enjoy their wii, and you don't have to go into every single wii thread and bash it like mindless drones.

Maybe because we've all been playing games since the 80s and the 50th revision of mario tennis just doesn't do it for us anymore.

I'm part of the 80s crowd and the wii suits me just fine.

I'm not bashing it--it's an alright console. I'm just stating the truth--almost everyone I know who bought a wii played it for a month or two and now it collects dust. Some people DO enjoy it, don't get me wrong. Some people also think their Everquest private server is still more awesome than playing WoW on a public server.

It's just that the people in both situations sit at about the same ratios.

I'll be the first to admit that the Wii suffers from a lot of crap games and, as it's been with Nintendo since the N64, the good games are hard to find. But to bash the premise itself as a "waggle-controls gimmick" completely fails to understand its potential with such simple premises as this in a game. All I ask is that the bashing be directed at the developers who fail to capitalize on the strengths of the Wii properly, and not the system itself.

And to add to the mix, I too am of the 80's crowd and I still play games on my Wii as much as any of my other consoles (which admittedly, has been less than I'd like). Besides the ones already mentioned, I like Shaun White's snowboarding and Link's Crossbow Training, and is STILL the highly preferred system to play with other people, especially when it's more than 2 people in the same room. I'd argue that the people who prefer the 360 and PS3 are the ones living in the past, where most of its library (i.e. the rule, not the exception) reminds me of prettier games I've already seen done on earlier-generation consoles (usually minus the multiplayer unless you pay for Xbox Live or the like).

And as for the actual topic, I'll be interested in buying this game when I can.

If you have fun on it, then yay! If not, then who cares! Play what's fun!

Both consoles are collecting dust (Wii & PS3) but I played the PS3 more often. I use it more to play Bluray now. Yeah I probably got a really expensive Blu-ray player but sometimes I'll play stuff. And by stuff I mean GTA4 since that's all I have on it right now I want something like MGS4 where I couldn't put the controller down.

I have Twilight Princess (reason why I got Wii) and Tiger Woods 2009. I have to say, I'm not all that impressed with the Wii remote. It really is inaccurate. Tiger Woods 09 really shows it. I would "swing" exactly how they tell me and I still would hit chump shots. Putting was also terribly inaccurate. The same distance pulled back would produce vastly different speeds. I much

Capitalize on what? The wiimote motion-sensing is piss poor. So alot of it is the system's fault.



All of this is generalizations after generalization.

Speaking of that Echo, are they close to releasing the damn wii motionplus already?

This right here is the post everyone needs to pay attention to!

Then maybe we can finally have a wii thread that doesn't end up in the same damn circular arguments.

Here it is again:

June 8.

I love my Wii, but sadly, it's out of commission right now and needs repairing. But it is currently my favorite system, a lot of fun games.
