Planning to get a Nintendo Wii?

Post Reply New Topic

Now that Ive seen all the E3 videos of it I think this looks like it could easily be the best of the new systems if they can use the new controller good and they can get some good games that utilize it well (and can be played normally too). I think I will get this when it comes out and a PC and maybe PS3 eventually if I can ever afford it.

It's honestly the only next-gen console I actually want to have, at least for the moment. Nintendo actually cares about innovation.

I put PS3 because the poll just asked which I would 'get', but didn't specify how I would go around getting it. Well I'd love to get a PS3, but there's no way I'm going to buy one unless it becomes a lot, lot cheaper. If the poll was which one I'd rather buy, I'd definitely say the Wii.

It'll be a shame though if it doesn't get a lot of decent RPGs, because they're about 80% of the games I play. A funny controller won't add to these sort of games, either. To be honest I don't care about hardware innovation, I'd rather have innovation in the games themselves.

I also like the Xbox 360, but not as much as the Wii. You can get an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii at the same price as one PS3.
The Xbox 360's graphics look good as well and I like the range of accessories that you can get for it, but it's not very innovative - that's where the Wii comes in.

The PS1 and PS2 had the most RPGs, so I'm guessing the PS3 might be the same. Which is going to disappoint me as I won't be wasting my money on one. It's ironic given that these sort of games don't need all that much power.

About the Wii, everyone keeps saying it's innovative. I only know about the motion-sensor controller. Is there something else about it that's new?

I won't be buying any of them, because console and game prices just keep going up and up and I end up only playing two or three games for each console. I might get a Wii if Keiji Inafuna gets off his ass and decides to make Mega Man Legends 3, since it sounds like he wants to move back to Nintendo.

I might get one. Mostly, my decison will depend on how extensive the library of downloadable games for older systems is.

if what I hear is correct, the library should be very extensive. (CHRONO TRIGGER! )

I'm looking forward to it for the controller yes...

But more so the way mario galaxy looks seems amazing to me..

Zelda also always manages to obsess me until I finish it..

True nintendo doesn't get the best rpgs, I have a feeling the wii might grab a few...But personally I love a good rpg on my pc anyway.
