wii owners, your thoughts of it so far and the future???

http://wii.ign.com/articles/797/797053p1.html

the above is about sega's critique about the wii's possible future. give your thoughts and opinions.

also, wii owners, how are your expectations before and after the purchase of a wii console? do you like it? did it exceeded your expectations? etc.....?

 

ubi has admitted that they have rushed out some games for the wii to gain profits. because of that it hurts the company [ubi and possibly nintendo], but there are games for the wii that shows how great the controller can be, scarface and god father and soon resident evil 4 wii edition. that may explain why the splinter cell game might be a bit clunky and such.

 

My biggest gripes with the Wii so far...

1) Rushed games. This is possibly my biggest annoyance with the Wii so far, and developers are not making things any easier. It is not the controls either, because the Wii also has standard controllers like the ones used for the Wii shop games... one could easily just make RPGs and simpler games using this controller instead of relying only on the Wiimote.

2) Too many ports of games into the Wii format. I am kinda starting to see developers view the Wii system more of a secondary machine rather than the market leader that it will become.

3) Unresponsive controls. The controllers could use a bit of work in responsiveness, or perhaps this is more of an issue with the development of the games. I found Warioware to be very responsive and fun, but found Rampage to be clunky with the controls.

4) !#%@$ batteries. I really wish Nintendo made a cradle thing and rechargeable batteries for the Wiimotes from the start... well I guess you can't have everything ;D I think I've gone through a whole CostCo box of batteries since I started playing the Wii.




I think the Wii has the most to gain out of the 3 systems; good graphics is nice but if the gameplay sucks, then no one will play the system very long. Just look at fighting games as an example - a lot of people still enjoy KOF and SF more than Tekken or other 3D fighting games.

Another thing that the Wii has an advantage -- a modular system. People have a natural tendency to accessorize their purchases even though they might not need it at the moment... and the sleek look of Nintendo's accessories don't hurt either.

Sega has always had a beef with Nintendo, I get the feeling from the article that the Steinberg guy is just doing random bashing of the system. In addition, the idea of a system going for longevity is not a very good idea. Console systems are not known for longevity because the pace of development in electronics is so fast that a system is already outdated usually 2 or 3 years after it comes out. Thats why there are re-hashes of the system (DS + DS Lite, PS + PSone + PS slim, etc) if it appears to have staying power, so that the console maker can milk out more money for obsessed gamers.

The final advantage Wii has over all the other systems... price. There was an article about price comparison floating around the Internet (i think it was on digg.com) that compared the systems plus what accessories and games a gamer could buy if he/she had a set budget of $1000 or something along those lines (it was probably less than $1000).

 

The Wii is somewhat failing in my opinion. It's not as if "there's an amazing section of highly original games". Wario Ware, Super Paper Mario, and Zelda TP are nothing but sequels. The graphic specs look very nice. But no one takes advantage of them! The controller isn't "perfect", but it isn't bad. A lot of games just badly program the "Wiimote".

More and more people are getting tired of they're Wii's. If they don't shape up they're main strong point. Games. Then I think it will die out fairly soon.

Older games (VC) are fun to play about thrice, and pay about once. Charging for games created 10 years ago is outrageous. They already gained "profit" along time ago! STOP MILKING THEM, AND LET THEM REST IN PEACE!

All and all. I'll probably be Nintendo's bitch, and buy they're console. Microsoft is evil, and Sony is just expensive.

 

Well that would be easy actually, just make the controls clunky enough that people will get frustrated and hesitate to buy more Wii games... and the more times this happens, the more hesitant a person will be when buying Wii games

 

loony is right, it all depends on the developers. how come there are games for classic game controllers [ps2, xbox,... controllers] yet the game still suck and we had these type of controllers for more then a decade. how would you explain that??

there's also the point that just like creating games for xbox 360 and the ps3, that at first development maybe a bit hard as they are still trying new techniques here and there, but eventually will have a better understanding of what works and how to fully use what is best.

also, currently, the wii is more of a rehash of the ps2 and some xbox1 games. it's probably to gain quick cash. you know that the wii has something special in it when you see people play games using the controller. check out the wii video review [ http://www.3dgameman.com/content/view/6490/35/ ] and you'll notice something when he plays the wii sports game.

 

I fully believe that given some time the games for the Wii will kickass and some will become ones you'll want to play a few years later still (once a year i still download and play through chrono trigger). I also hope for less ports and more Wii exclusives so they'll get the development it needs to make good use of the controller.

 

is anyone going to try out the resident evil 4 wii edition to feel the difference in game play from the gamecube to the ps2 to the pc?

many critics who have played the wii version say that the game play is better. see if it's true.

 

I have a Wii, and I'm very impressed with it so far, despite the lack of games that would be fun for me. (shooters)

I don't think that it will die out soon, but if the drought of games continues, were screwed.

 

Sorry to pitch in to this thread, but I hope my opinion boosts this thread with intent. ;D

F*CK THE Wii
