He's right... Ever since they started smoking and all of that shit, they got high at one point and look around the place.

So what they did is open the box and realizes that it was difficult to open it and they failed to do that.

The next hour, while they are still high, Nintendo FINALLY found the problem why they couldn't open the box, they forgot to press a button. After realizing how bad they attempted to break the box apart, they press the button and it spew out a ray of rainbow to everyone that was high. Weeds came out as well, so more employees started smoking more of those shits and they decided.

"Man... Why is this called Revolution?"
"I don't know... But damn, this weed is good."
"Oh man, we should name this next console... WII!?"
"YES! That is the better way of saying weed!"

And it brings us to this point. [/sarcasm]

Okay, so what you are saying that Genji was the first game to have a "real weapon time change" and introduced attack the weak spot for massive damages? Sorry, play Shadow of Colossus.

The only thing that is going for Playstation 3 is Metal Gear Solid4 and not everyone is interested playing so weird ass game like RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAACER, or any racing game. Plus, look how that guy tried flying a airplane! It even looks like he can't control the damn thing! What else? Oh yeah, the ad. No one likes it. Saying it was biased when many people agreed with the statement make the truth even harder. Tell me what other games beside the two games (Genji or whatever it is spelled and Metal Gear Solid 4) is Playstation 3 going to have to make it popular? Not enough. Plus, the ridiculous price: $599!

Wii get my vote since it's already got its future games coming out and is cheaper. Xbox 360 may be in the second with Playstation 3 being ridiculously expensive in third. In addition, not varies of great games (series, sequel, etc.) are coming so the only thing I see Playstation 3 only make it mark is Metal Gear Solid 4.

I want a 360 for one sole reason is Halo 3 plus online equals beats everyone else in sales also all the other games aren;t bad either which is good. I would also like the Wii for SSBR. The PS3 to me seems pretty pricey and is.

I just figured out how the PS3 is gonna win. And believe it or not its not about games....Its the Blu Ray!

Just reciently, The BluRay DVD player came out for $1000 dollars correct? Well the platnium set for the PS3 is $720 ( Which I reserved ). Now, when that mutha comes out, which do you think EVERYONE would rather get their hands on?

Not to mention the PS3 is going into some Major detail, not only graphics, but gameplay as well.

Metal Gear Solid 4 isnt just the only game thats revolutionizing games as we see it. Take a look at the new unreal tournament. The Geo Mod is going to be put into FULL FORCE on that game. You shoot someone in the arm, it effects the way they/ you aim, in the leg, it will effect their running speed and direction, bones will break, blood will be spilt and drained, bodies will pile up. Everything we see in real life will be put into full effect on the PS3....Havent I said this before?

But theres one thing I dont like about the PS3....MGS4 costed me 82 dollars at EB games. THey said its not the offical price, but thats the reserve price, if the game is cheaper, They will refund me with store credit, if not, and if I bought the platnium set ( Which I did ) I dont pay extra, but If I diddnt, I have to pay for the difference....

Wii will have great games coming out for it...Hell I just might get one of those as well....But I just think the PS3 will go deeper in time. The Wii does has its fancies, but its nothing Sony Online couldent fix to make up for its superb gameplay....

I wouldn't use the PS3 as a cheap BlueRay player.

First Gen stuff has flaws most of the time (and Sony stuff... ugh)

At the time the second gen PS3 is out, BlueRay Players are gonna be cheaper.

I won't buy any consoles, I tend to prefer the computer platform over the stationary game. Computer games are a lot easier to make mods for/hack into their system than console games generally. The interaction with people online most of the time does not come at an extra cost like xbox live would or WoW. There is also so much more you can do while playing a game on the computer than on a console. Entertaining multiple people however the console wins unless you have a LAN room in your dwellings.

Computer > console
most of the time in my opnion.

I do agree that PC games will overule console games any day. Not to mention PC's are easily upgradable and more with the times. Console games are constantly becoming more and more obsolete untill the next generation of console gaming comes out. But at the time when they do come out, question on everyone's mind when they do buy a console game is "Whats new and exciting"?

PC's are always asking this question when a new update comes out....It gets old, and even sometimes, updates and hardware has its few share of glitches. Im not saying that PC is retarded, im just saying that Consoles are consoles. and PCs are PCs...They each have their ups and downs...

And perhaps maybe the BluRay will be cheaper when the PS3 comes out, and maybe the Xbox360 will have better online capabilities, and maybe the Wii will have better origional titles. But alot of producers are taking the capabilities of gaming to the next level for the PS3. Hideo Kojima has stated that the metal Gears will mess with your mind, and he has hired actual psychologists to help him understand more on how the mind works. And its not just Metal Gear solid, I hear that RPG's for the PS3 will come to a diferent effect. Westwood Studios has announced they are working on an RPG thats going to simulate how you play the game. You wont choose classes on the beginning, you will start out as a human, and develope into what you choose. THis will cause huge replay values, and no two games will be actually alike.

Catch my drift? Thats why im voting for the PS3...Because its a whole new way of playing games....

I'm not really in to the whole console war thing. Why? I'll end up getting them all eventually, because each system is going to have their ups and downs and exclusives, just like the Xbox, GC, and PS2. I already have my 360 and anticipate games like Prey, Gears of War, Halo 3 ... etc.

Price wise though, yes I will probably find myself buying a Wii first because of how cheap it'll be. I just hope Nintendo doesn't get crazy with add-on's to the controller or whatever, kind of like what they did with the GC + GBA link idea.

That, and I do think Nintendo could be making quite a comeback with the Wii here. I really believe they will, after the slight damage the N64 and GC may have done (although I don't really think that, but they've always been considered to be the lesser systems these days, if that makes sense? Can't really think of a way to explain what I'm trying to say here. )

I'm a little late to this thread, but I feel that I need to comment on a few things.

Originally posted by Cairoi

LEGEND OF ZELDA: WIND WAKER

FIRE EMBLEM 9

ANIMAL CROSSING

SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEE

TALES OF SYMPTHONIA

METROID PRIME

FINAL FANTASY: CRYSTAL CHRONICLES

MARIO KART: DOUBLE DASH!

The list goes on.

There are 3 great games listed up there, an okay oone, and the rest were bad in someway. I'll start with the good games.

LOZ: WW is possibly the best game for the GameCube. SSBM is also a good game, but it's better for parties and what not. Metroid Prime was a good game, but it ruined the series. Metroid was much better as a side scroller.

MKDD was an okay game. It was fun, but definetely not great.

Fire Emblem 9 was just another Fire Emblem remake. If it were so good, why didn't it sell more? I rarely heard anyone talk about the game, and when I did, they said it was bad. Animal Crossing is overrated. Tales of Symphonia wasn't that great either. I saw it have some okay sales at a Game Stop one week, but it was under Super Mario Sunshine. If a game that old and that somewhat bad sells more than a brand new game, it can't be great. As for FFCC, I'll admit to this. I did reserve it and I do still have it. I don't play it though. I played it a few times for the first week I had it. It just got too repetitive. I wish I hadn't spent my money on it.

There are some better games that you forgot, Star Fox Assault being one of them. Most of the good games for the GameCube were multiplatform games, such as Enter the Matrix and the games in the NFS series. I like some games for the GameCube, but the games made specifically for it normally suck unless they're made by Nintendo.

Originally posted by CairoiThat being said, I'm getting the Wii for 3 reasons:

1. It's not as fucking expensive as the PS3.

2. The controller idea is amazing.

3. The controller for the PS3 looks like a boomerang. I loved the PS2 controller, but this looks painful to hold.[/quote


Yet you have nothing to say about the Xbox 360. Also, I want to comment on your comments.

1) The original NES costs $600 and the games used used to costs about $70, kinda like the PS3, but people still bought it. It's not about price, it's about quality.

2) The controller idea is good, but think about how complicated it'll be. The concept is a great thing to try out, but the fact that it's infrared may cause problems gaming and it'll just make things 10 times harder. Besides, I don't like nun-chucks.

3) If you have been paying any attention to anything recently, the PS3 controller is no longer like that. They ditched the idea.

So now you have 1 reason to get the Wii, one reason why not to get the PS3, and nothing said about the Xbox 360. I have a reason why not to get the Wii though: The name sucks and it's easy to make fun of.

Originally posted by Star FX
first of all, cairoi, i said good recent exclusives

ps
does the playstasion 3 font look alot like the kind they use in the spiderman movies?

The last exclusive to come out was Metroid Prime 2 I believe. Or Resident Evil 4. Then again, that's now a multiplatforming game, so I don't think that counts.

As for the PS3 font, I read something about that in a copy of Electronic Gaming Monthly. According to that, they used the same font.

As for which gaming company is the best, Rare is. Too bad no one has heard from them in a while.

Anyways, I'll probably be going with the Xbox 360 mostly because it's affordable and it has a normal means of playing, as in you don't spin the left controller in a circle in order to make something open. The Wii has a nice concept, but I just don't like it. I've only seen one game for the Wii that makes me want to get it, and that's SSBB. The Zelda game will be for the GC, so I'm just gonna get it for that. The PS3 is just too expensive, though, when you think about it, it's not that bad of a deal considering a Blu Ray Disc player costs $1000 and the PS3 is only $699. I don't have a HDTV anyways so I won't bother getting a PS3 or a Blu Ray Disc player. Really, I'm not that big of a gamer, but I like games that play with a normal controller. I do prefer gameplay in most cases, but I'm a big fan of racing and shooting games, which is a common find on the Xbox 360.

So I voted for the Xbox 360, but I doubt I'll be getting one, or any Next-Gen system. If I had the money, then I'll get one, but until then, my computer and my DS supply me with enough entertainment.

Not every great game is well-known. No matter how good a game is, sometimes it just won't sell well because of a bad package design, poor name choice (see also: Wii, I still don't forsee things going well there), or insufficient advertising.

I have a reason why not to get the Wii though: The name sucks and it's easy to make fun of.
And it's people like you that make me want to go on a murderous rampage to purge the unintelligent from the world. Disliking the name is fine, but refusing to get what could be a great system solely because of the name is fucking stupid. On another note, this is the attitude that brought about my parenthesized comment earlier.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Who gave you that idea? A remake? Sure, but you are way off your information.

Fire Emblem 9 wasn't a remake from any game. The system, maybe... Add a pinch of Fire Emblem 6, 7 & 8 with AS 4 difference for double attacking and add Fire Emblem 4 & 5 (I hardly consider 8 in this categories) special abilities. Also, it was the first to introduces a different kind of species (laguz) and allow these laguz to transform into their counter part without any uses of item like Dragonstone (they get a Laguz charge bar that is set for certain amount of turn to transform back and forth and Laguz stone for quicker transformation)

Also, for popularity, it is because many people were upset that one of 5 things:

1.) Roy didn't appears in this game. (Fire Emblem 6.)
2.) Marth didn't appears in this game. (Fire Emblem 1 & 3!)
3.) Roy and Marth didn't appear in this game. (Super Smash Bros. Melee.)
4.) What Thexare said.
5.) They ditched the Mania mode and replace the Easy mode. Many fan became enraged when they heard about this, since they wanted something hard to an extreme... (Okay, how hard? Let's say Olivier in Chapter 17 with a godly stat. Your Ike couldn't even damn solo against him since he carrying someone by then.)

That's how I see it.

I swore I remember that they are going to make some involved with a wired controller. I mean, I can't see how Fire Emblem 10 is going to be played with a wireless controller, since it probably doesn't need those wireless extra features in. (Think about it...)

Why are people still thinking that the PS3's controller is still going to be the boomerang?

Sony dropped that Idea and made the PS3 controller a PS2 look alike cept wireless and USB rechargable batteries

Smarter idea than what the Xbox360 had....

And the new Game informer magazine released destails about the Wii controller used on the Wii.....Too bad they are still trying to figure out how the hookshot will be used alot online.

I don't just dislike it because of the name, but that did make me dislike it more. When I saw the gameplay for Mario Galaxies, it just looked bad. I haven't seen any game that's worth getting the Wii for besides SSBB. It doesn't appeal to me at all.

That's what they say about MegaMan. After a while the game gets repetitive. Now Fire Emblem isn't remade every season, but still, when your game reaches a number beyond 10, it's gonna seem repetitive. Games like Mario Party, MegaMan, etc. all have too many games out. Fire Emblem is one of those games too me. Just my opinion.

Megaman never got old for me.
(I can probably speak for TP also)

But yeah, I can agree Mario Galaxies looked ... interesting. Not bad, and I'm actually excited about it. It just kind of made me say "wtf?" when I saw the trailers. I have no idea what to expect with that game.

And I'm still undecided whether I want Zelda: Twilight Princess for the GC, or Wii. I just want a simple fun Zelda game, so I'm not sure if I want to worry about using the Wii controller for making it seem more complicated. But who knows, maybe it would make the game better? Either way, I'll probably get both versions. Since I worship Zelda.

Hi, my name is SquareEnix. I specialize in releasing vastly similar games year after year with a slightly different story, improved graphics, and only minimal changes to the actual gameplay.

And for that matter, how many RTS games are similar again..?
