Why the Wii is better than any other console.

Postby Alex » Sat Nov 10, 07 7:12 pm

It's rather easy.
The Wii is revolutionary.
All other things (PS3, Xbox, whatever other things there are), are all the same.
Really, what's so different about them? Graphics? HD space?
The only thing that is being changed, is the performance.
The Wii though, it has an entire new feature.

Therefore, the Wii is better than any other console.

Something I am awaiting, is the next generation of the Wii, if they're clever they'd match the hardware costs and capabilities of their rivals in that generation. I was talking to Dale about this before.

However, I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to copy or Sony to attempt to do the same again.

Indeed, whenever the Wii has been brought up people usually say the novelty will wear off and it will finally plunge. Still yet to falter though.

Theres still games yet to come as well, Super Mario Galaxy got 9.5 average in meta and SSBB is on the way, possibly the most awaited game for all Wii owners.

Nintendo is a walking goldmine, the Wii prints money!

They need to bring out a headset.

If they're going to start with these online games, I'm eventually going to need a headset, or a damn keyboard.

MoH:H 2 without one will be a shame.

With the new Wii update, you can now use a USB keyboard with the Wii.

On a more serious note, why would you need a keyboard, if the Wii has no Web Browser?

A KEYBOARD? The Wii is revolutionary because of it's control. You need to actually move, that is why it's better than other consoles.

The Wii does have a web browser.
Now that I think of it, I could use a keyboard, it's fucking difficult to write messages with the remote.

Look again genius, Wii has had a web browser since Q1 this year.

I don't want to do handstands in my living room to write the letter A.

I like to sit down when I am playing my shooting games, because I know I'm going to be there for a while.

I love my Wii as much as the next guy, but not every game on it MUST use full body supercadjafrajalisticexpeealadocious movements.

Metroid Prime 3, that has movements, I can still sit down and do them.

Yeah, Since June I think.

I don't use it as often as I'd like, but it's nice for when I'm downstairs and I can just fullscreen some youtube videos.

And ffs Klop I said that because Protocol didn't know it had one, who said there was anything revolutionary about it?

The Keyboard is for the Web browser when you are e.g. typing a forum post, not for playing the games.

I knew it had one.

But I know MOH:H 2 does not use Keyboard functionality.

Originally the Wii was going to be Called "The Nintendo Revolution". Yet, they renamed it to "Wii", as in "We", as it is a family fun console.

Get a wired connection.

I have this WiFi USB Dongle thing I stole off my cousin, and I've never had any problems with it.

But when I have to give it back, I'm going to get a wired solution.

I use my Wii Opera on a wireless connection. Works just fine. Watching movies (comedy) from youtube/google video that take 2 hours, works perfectly.

Seeing as this is a Wii thread.
Anyone know when that WiiWare channel is coming out in Europe?
I hear its February for Japan. And there doesn't seem to be a need to delay it everywhere else..
I'm really looking forward to that.

Yeh, another reason they called it 'Wii' is coz everyone all over the world can pronounce the word easily.

Because South Park did a two-parter about it.
