That being said, I just can't see a reason to prefer Wii over the other consoles. Now let me scratch ma ballz and go play some games.

One of my favourite genre is platformers 2d and 3d. Which console do you think I would prefer?

The PS3?

I think it can handle platformers at least as good as the Wii.

Yeah sure it can, in theory. But I have no time for such hypothetical situations. I see a console with Galaxy, Galaxy 2, NSMBWii, de Blob, Boy and his Blob, Icarian, Wario Land Shake, Lost Winds 1 and 2, Bit Trip Runner, Epic Mickey, de Virtual console (Snes does not work anymore) and the situation is quite clear.

Plus where are the lightgun games on the HD consoles (not my preferred genre but some people like them)? Or where in the shoot em up like Sin and Punishment 2 on the other consoles? Games like Endless Ocean or LKS (not even sure it what genre to put those two in), Rune Factory and more.

Or what about Metroid and Zelda like games? Trilogy, Twilight, etc.

There are enough reasons to prefer the Wii.

But what I'm saying is, why would I WANT to play any of these games on the Wii, if I could be playing them on the PS3?

Obviously any great game that comes out on Wii I'm more than willing to play if that's the only place I CAN play it. But if I had my choice, I'd pick the PS3 every time.

I mean if Miyamoto came up to me and said "Well Edge, should we go ahead and make Zelda on Wii or the PS3?" obviously I would be insane to pick the Wii when Zelda on PS3 could offer anything Zelda on Wii could, and then some.

But according your own logic a Supercomputer would be the logical choice. There are more things than just power, the most important one being the budget. Some games will never be made for the PS3, but will on the DS. Why?! DS games are cheaper to develop.  

Is a supercomputer a games console on the market right now? Every time we have a talk like this you always change the subject off consoles and onto supercomputers, hahaha.

 You can buy Supercomputers if you have enough cash. 

Wow check this one out

IBM ROADRUNNER Supercomputer. I can do 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000) calculations per second

Fuck playing games, weather forecasting, nuclear fusion simulations and quantum physics calculations FTW.

Fuck Final Fantasy 13. Behold the power of Square on the Wii bitches!!!

Just an update on the Xbox 360 Arcade sale. First it's in Canada only. Second it looks like futureshop.ca is out of stock. I checked amazon.ca and they have it in stock but at $139. I also checked walmart.ca and they have them at $128. I imagine they ship worldwide.

How about

I bet it will have cities

Btw stop acting like a 13 year old. You'd take everything on PS3 if publishers and devs had unlimited funds to make everything in the top possible quality which would be stupid because then if they had such unlimited funds they could make everything for PC (or said supercomputers) so that they would be even better games and if and if and if, hello, return to the the real world please, the Wii has games worth playing, deal with it or don't, just grow up. Did you constantly whine and cry last gen when devs didn't make all games on the original Xbox but instead favorited the PS2 for most everythiing or what? And what exactly are you doing here, port/remake begging or something? What's your point? Software is king, certain (many) people like Wii (or PSP, or DS) games and so have and enjoy the system, where exactly is the problem that deserves such heated debate? What's your goal with this? The generation doesn't start when the Move is launched, many people already have settled on system choices, and even you have settled on PS3 instead of bother hooking up your PC in the living room for some top tech couch gaming, why are you so angry others may settle on even lower tech hardware, as long as they enjoy the games on it?

I'm joking around like I always do. Stop taking yourself so seriously on an indie videogame board. Have a drink and a laugh.

the problem here is that you seem to think that that is nintendo's fault and they should be blamed and not square or all the other 3rd party developers who refuse to make real games for what still is the leading console in sales

My word.... its a joke!!!

And Nintendo is to blame; they designed the console. I'm happy Square didn't put FF 13 on the Wii. Much like I'm happy I didn't bang the fat chick in 8th grade.

Did you know they are selling Elite units without an HDMI, Component, or even a fucking S-VIDEO cable now?!

They pack in a fucking Composite cable with Elites now. I haven't used a Composite cable on my consoles since the mid-32 bit era. And even then I remember moving to S-video on the PS1 and N64.

What a slap in the face. Enjoy your HD console with our very own ancient 15 year old Composite cables!!! LOL

Well that seems really lame. You can get HDMI cables pretty cheap though I guess.

Yeah $3-$6

Unless you need an HDMI with an optical audio input, since MS didn't put one of the back of the console. Their optical inputs are ON the cables, so if you use a normal HDMI cable of the $5 variety you can't use an optical audio cable.

Which sucks if your stereo doesn't support HDMI, as then you can't get true Dolby Digital sound.

Are you on Ritalin?

maybe dvader will get red steel 2 (if it doesn't get slaughtered by reviewers).  it's got high production values, it's in a popular genre but differentiates enough to make things interesting.  or maybe monster hunter tri

 Why are we all talking about Dvader?

I will chime in:He is a paradox, wrapped in a complex foreskin. 

MY foreskin.

There are enough reasons to prefer the Wii.

There are more than enough reasons to prefer any platform, to be honest. Home consoles, PC, portables. They all have their own strenghts and weaknesses, as well as enough of a games library to cater to anyone's particular tastes. It's weird to have people justifying their personal preferences.

What I find odd, though, is how fervently discussed this tired point is when in fact, these exact same discussions were one of the things that led you away from mainstream gaming boards and to launch your very own site.  

 Yeah, that goes for everyone on the personal preference thing. People ramming it down our throats that because they hate or like something - that makes them right about it or whatever. This is getting kinda old now and lame.

Dvader said:

WTF, now you hate Red Steel 2? Obviously I will check reviews but it looks damn good. I just hope its a nice lengthy game, I am afraid it will be some short 6 hour title.

I will NEVER buy Wii Sports Resort.

 6 hrs is par for the course on FPS these days. It feels like you're lining up Steel like excuses already as to why you'll get it 14 months from now at Hobo price. I know you too well!

 You're not helping. TBH Edge your posts have been very penis like in all this, but so have everyone elses. And it's me saying it so you know it to be true. Not helping.

Just saying, in a debate which is already thorny, escalating things with pics of people urinating on a console and then following up with Pony pics. NOT helping. 

Screw this discussion, its over as far as I'm concerned. Tomorrow I hope we move on.

 They may not be helping, but they sure are funny. 

Internet law on posting jokes. 

1. It must be clear its a joke

2. It must actually be funny

Skylock would say:

"In the context of how the pics were posted it would seem more like the kind of thing posted on the System wars board."

Then Edge would be suspended and come here to tell us all about it.

Got back to TR: Underworld. I'm slowly crawling through the dark depths of my backlog. Lara looks like ass on too much collagen, though.

When I was playing this, I was thinking that the developers had to watching all the priase Uncharted gets and be saying to themselves,"...so how is their game different from ours?"

TWU in no way measures up to UC overall, but it sure is pretty and it does pretty much the same things as UC, but UC feels so much better -- I think it is the character animations.  Also Lara chr model is an ass.  They could have just had a disembodied female ass floating around on the screen for you to control - because that is all you see.

I stopped playing this one because I am not a fan of level puzzles, but I'll finish it this year.

Yeah. Quite frankly, TR: U is an improvement over Legend and Anniversary, and the strenght of the games is the platforming element, compared to a game like Uncharted where platforming is weak, but excels at combat and action set-pieces.

However, on the visual field, things are lacking, even when compared to the older first Uncharted title, and animation is horrendous. I don't know why I keep playing TR games considering I hate their puzzles.
