<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Seriously, I am really turned off by this console. I mean I read a bunch of stuff on the Wii and this is what I pretty much got from it:-A bunch of shorter mini-games-Not really fun unless you play it maybe for a party or with friends-Graphics are as good as Gamecube-Extreme gamers can't play those 4+ hours playing... who wants to be waving their arms around for a whole day? What can you do when you want to play when you're home sick?-Very kid-orientedI'm not getting this. I'll let my friends get it and just play there... it's more of a party console with mostly short games that include you waving your arms around. Very creative idea though.</div>Your opinon came off as ignorant and biased.- 1. A bunch of shorter mini-games? Are you an idiot? In the debut games alone, Wii is getting Call of Duty and the new Zelda, which is said to have over 70 hours of gameplay! Like Justice said, when games like Metroid come out, Resident Evil, there will be even more long games. Sure there are options of Mini-Games, but every system has that.- 2. I will have to agree, the graphics don't seem to be much improved.- 3. Not every game uses that feature of "waving arms around." In fact, I believe that you have the option to not use those features at all.- 4. Generally, in my experience, I've learned that people who say that Nintendo products are "kiddy" have yet to even play those games. Why does the presentation of a game, whether it be cartoony, dark, violent... When does the story of a game, whether it be collecting apples or shooting aliens... overshadow how good the individual game actually is? I've played violent games like "Elder Scrolls IV," and they are nothing compared to kiddier games of the same style in Nintendo fashion like Zelda.Have you ever heard of a game called Metroid Prime? That is one of the darkest, gloomiest, even horrific games I've ever played at times. One of the best gaming periods I had was last summer where I went back and played Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Ocarnia of Time... All games rated E, all games that are supposedly "kiddy"Saying you won't buy a game because it's "kiddy" is stupid. It's downright retarded. No one says "Star Wars" is stupid because its aimed at all ages. Saying Nintendo products are "kiddy" and therefore less fun to play, or less cool to play, or not worth your time is absolutely ludicrous. I have never, I repeat I have NEVER met someone who hasn't loved Nintendo games once they actually took the time to pick them up. Basically, your post could be reduced to this:"I don't want to buy a Wii because I don't want to"Don't try and justify what you want with idiotic gestures. The Wii hasn't even come out yet for God's sakes! You haven't even tried the f*cking control system yet! Why are we ripping the Wii for no reason at all? This is yet another example of people following common stereotypes about something and further limiting themselves from perhaps discovering something fun, something awesome.The Wii has a solid chance of sucking, but then again, so does the PS3, XBox 360, XBox 720, PS4, or the next computer. Why don't you give it a chance instead of pre-determining it as garbage before you've even laid hands on the finished product?
