 When will they learn... November 14, 2006

When will Playstation and xbox fans realise that games like Call of Duty and Pro Evo just don't cut the mustard anymore.
Same old boring crap. Nintendo have the answer with this dramatic twist.
Serious about gaming? Buy this baby.
A mate of mine recently bought a PSP. He was dead excited about this 'new revolution in gaming' as he called it. And what game did he get? Wipeout. WIPEOUT!!! I GOT BORED OF WIPEOUT 10 YEARS AGO.
Pathetic.
Good old Nintendo has shown us the way...

To be honest I would completely ignore the comments in Gamer's review. To say that the Wii will not be supported by "killer" titles is just wrong. OK people love PES (it is out on DS and PSP), Tekken and GTA but Nintendo can offer Zelda, Mario, Metroid and Smash Bros. not to mention all the other class titles that will be available on release like Red Steel, Far Cry Vengeance and Call of Duty 3. There is also going to be tonnes of lasting appeal in Wii Sports, the game you get free with the console. You may only sit down and play it by yourself a couple of times but when you've got mates round and you're tired of beating the hell out eachother in Smash Bros. or Red Steel then this is one of the ultimate party games.
The Wii can also offer you so much more than the PS3 and Xbox 360. Those two are essentially the same butthe PS3 is going to be horrendously expensive. They may have vastly superior graphics but the Wii brings a true innovation to gaming. Anyway since when did good graphics make a game. What is the point in having a game that looks better than anything else on the market if its gameplay is lame. Basically there is going to be no better console out this Christmas.

While everyone speculates about and compares the upcoming Playstation 3 with the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii has been overlooked. The Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 are remarkably similar consoles, with the same style of play and graphics as each other. With the Playstation3 appealling to it's huge fanbase from the Playstation2 fanatics, and the Xbox appealling not only to it's fanbase of Xbox players, but also to next generation gamers as it was the first to be released out of the three consoles, it will be difficult for the Wii to find a gap in the market.
On the face it appears to have lower graphic compatibility than both of hte other consoles, but it does appeal to everyone from every background in and away from gaming because of the ingenius control system. Everyone in the family, will be able to pick it up and get along with it, but because of the appeal to everyone, it will - like it's predecessor - be seen as a "kiddy" console. After looking at the release titles of such games as Red Steel and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess with all the fighting, it is so much more.
This is surely one of the must have gadgets for this Christmas, but if you are thinking of getting one, then get four controllers... the old folks may not let you have a go!

I was lucky enough to get the chance to play the Wii at Nintendo's UK office recently and it really is brilliant. The control system works as it should (very intuitive) and is nice and resposive. I played a 4x4 racing game, Wario Ware and the bundled sports game. I have to say, the graphics I saw were pretty much Gamecube quality but the control system adds to the gameplay so much, the graphics wern't such a concern. The only danger of the Wii is the damage to house and friends when wildly flailing your arms about when you get too into the game. I think the perfect set up is going to be a 360 for the 'regular' games and a Wii for the Nintendo magic (Wii60?)

The Nintendo Wii.
Fun, addictive and quick to play. The Wii is a wonderful Cnsole. Graphically weaker than the other 2, but then does seeing blood splatter in more detail really that essential?
Thw Wii has developed a strong ;ibary of fun games that erybody can play. If you want to compare it to the xbox then it's a different flavour. The xbox is fantastic for 4 hour intense gaming or going online all night to shoot up the enemy. However it offers little difference.
Now developing a greater libary of titles that will leave it unmatched for shear Joy an uniqueness of the experience. Get a Wii or if you wnat two couple the Xbox or a PS3 with a Wii. Don't bother with getting both an Xbox and a PS3 because the next 50 tiles on both systems has 43 games which are the same. Hardly seem a wortherwhile combination.
(By the way, the Wii is releasing 86 new titles this Christmas with 20 odd of them exclusies. The PS3 and Xbox 360 have less than 50 releases and only 7 of them are excusives. A little tibit I thought I would point out seeing as the unfair reviews are claiming the Wii has hardly anygames. the other reiew I thought was a joke was the guy who said the only good games were Mario and Zelda rehashs. Somewhat Ironic considering the most awaited games on the other systems is the GTA rehash, Halo rehash, Final Fantasy rehash etc.)
