nice compliment on your own post


sometimes only wise people get certain hints

Back on topic though, who cares if people call Nintendo a kiddy console aslong as you have fun then thats the main thing, if they dont want a Wii because they think its for kids then they miss out.

Yeah bad luck to them on missing out Ninjabread Man

The Wii is generally a "kid's" console since 90% of the games (throughout teh company's gaming history) have been focused on a young demographic. It's always been that case for Nintendo. Good, clean, family fun. But every so often you'll find games like Resident Evil and whatnot making their way on the console to cater for the more mature demographic...but, at heart, Nintendo's products are always going to be for the kids.

That's an awful lot.
But what about if, say PS3, had a repuation digit of -1?
Then, mathimatically, Nintendo would be "- 9999999999999" better.
That would mean Nintendo is "9999999999999" worse!

I don't care if the Wii is for "kids" I'm 26 years old and will hopefully always have a "kid" inside me.

But seriously, I'm addicted to the little white box. I even like cooking mama....go figure.

Im 24... Um kids RIGGGHT... The Wii has the biggest range of gamers young and old.. They should change there comment to "For EVERYONE" Better how??? Wii has better reviewed games than PS3 atm. Wii hasnt had a "ring of death issue" that I know of anyway.

If there usual story is "better graphics" It's been discussed on many forums that Gameplay > Graphics.

Lol, I hope not literally




I must agree with nearly every person in this thread and say
GAMEPLAY > GRAPHICS
& if they say that its kiddy, tell them to have a look at manhunt 2, metroid prime, resident evil, guitar hero, call of duty JUST to name a few that i can see advertised on this site next to where im writing this post.
There are kiddy games for the wii, but every console has kiddy games, the wii is just a better system for them thats all.

Haha so defensive.

Seriously: I think the wii is pretty weak.

I disagree with the whole gameplay > graphics argument.

THey are not mutually exclusive qualities. But the other 2 nx gen consoles can easily have both gameplay and graphics. Wii simply can't compete in that regard because it can only ever hope to excel in gameplay. I'd go as far to say Xbox generation 1 beats Wii graphics.

The cost factor, fan base and innovative controls maybe its winning qualities.

Most of the Wii games are shallower because Wii caters for the casual gamer. (yes there are exceptions).

I think wii has helped me become a more casual gamer which suits me, because I have other interests to balance me. I still play a lot though.

Yeah... My brother says stuff like that. He doesn't really care for the Wii much. He goes on about how cool the PS3 is and he doesn't even have one... Once I have Tomb Raider: Anniversary for the Wii he'll wanna play it. I do recall him saying the Wii is for kids as well. And I think he's the only one who has said that to me. Basically he chooses graphics over gameplay. Though, he does agree Super Mario Galaxy's graphics are good.

But he has no idea what he's missing out on!

I slightly get offended or a bit hurt when someone else says it but it is mainly due the reason that I own one. However, I also do agree with that statement a bit due to the number of kiddie games being released for the wii outnumbering games for serious gamers.

On that note, I can't really complain when you get most (if not all) of the games for a very low price....f..r...e.e........compared to the cost of buying ps3 games all the time. The slight flaw of the wii basically compensates for itself, in my opinion anyway.
