This is going to end up getting locked.

 

I hate it when people bet that good threads will be locked

 

Why not?

 

PS: The Wii's motion controls are an awesome innovation on Nintendo's part.

I HATE people who say that Nintendo make bad games because their hardware isn't as powerful. Software and Hardware are different things.
To hell with graphics whores.

 

Nintendo makes great games. It's just that it's few and far between, especially compared to the other two consoles.

 

Different things appeal to different people, ergo one person cannot be counted on to judge "great games".
For example, I hate a majority of games on X-Box 360 and PS3, but that doesn't mean that they don't make any good games for it. PS: Donkey Kong Country Returns, Epic Mickey, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Metroid:Other M, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy2, Redsteel 2, Monster Hunter Tri and that's not even counting WiiWare and Virtual Console.

 

If you are an over active toddler, have ADHD or you do not care that you look like a rabid monkey waving your stick around all day, then I guess the Wii's motion control is indeed perfect for you.

But if it's subtlety & accuracy you want, then a mouse & keyboard is better. With gamepads as a second choice.

EDIT: Addendum:

I've actually watched a few Wii games let's plays & the whole idea of waving, shaking & wanking the Wii remote around really sounds stupid for me. Just like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, I find it absolutely stupid that you had to twist the Wii remote to turn certain platforms around, or the fact that you need to shake it around to do a spin attack. As I said & will defend, The Wii's motion controls, a very stupid gimmick, nothing more.

 

I almost said stupidly that it's because they get less games...if anything they become like the ps2, full of cheap cash ins.


They let nearly anyone make a game for the wii now, where's when they brought in the nintendo seal of quality, it kept out the crap.

 

But the DS is full of crap. All of those stupid quiz games and ports that are nothing like the real game...

 

I hate it when you lot keep posting constantly and I can't work my way through unread threads because theres more and more and more everytime I click!

 

i hate how game makers for ps3 and xbox game makers act like well whore ourselves out to them if they make a game with good graphics

 

graphics aren't everything. Oblivion by today's standards has appalling graphics. It's still the best open world RPG so far.

sick of fake Blizzard staff trying to steal my account
(i'm getting like 10 spams a day, even though I only ever played the trial...once)

 

exactly im saying i dont give a s... about graphics id be fine with ps2 standard graphics im also wondering as a ps3 owner what they need game installation for i mean i know it slows down loading times but really why are the loading times so high in the first place

 

because they overloaded the game with excessive graphics

 

Im happy with snes graphics, gameplay is far more important.
FF6, lufia 2 and chronotrigger are favourites for a reason

 

id be happy with ps1 graphics or anything that dosent look like utter crap though its annoying also they focus on graphics and not much else sure the games are good but often full of bugs look at infamous at the dustmens hideout i got through it by glitches

 

As long as you can see what your doing, graphics aren't important in rpg's.(my choice 9times out of 10).
FPS's are where you need graphics, where you need to see perfectly and a half second delay will kill you.
