One of the things I seriously hate is that people underestimate the Nintendo Wii. The thing is some people either
ºA TV that is crappy or bad setup or in cases not configured the picture setttings
ºor you are judging it for it's very crappy third-party games
One thing third-party developers do not get is that
1. The Wii can display some HD near quality graphics like in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Resident Evil 4 (Third-Party), Metroid Prime (Native resolution is 1280x720 but downscaled), Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and few others (Like Mario Galaxy). One thing that really pisses me off is that the Wii is considered a "kiddie konsole" but take a look at Twilight Princess. Gorgeous graphics, beautiful soundtrack, and flawless story. You can sometimes compare the graphics to that of Call of Duty on PS3. Resident Evil, though made by Capcom, kicks the custom 10MBPS Ati graphics card's ass to where it will look close to GTA IV (a bit blurrier), or the original Halo (a.k.a. Nintendo's Halo) Metroid Prime: 3. Looks like Halo 3, and the Wii will eat it up! A final example is Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Now this game kicks ass and looks like friggin' Saints' Row 1 and 2 and runs at 60 fps, with Havok physics engine, 80 things on screen, all with their own Artificial Intelligence, and other tiny details crammed into a 8.5 Gb optical disc. This and more can the Wii do. But, unfortunately, it can also suck (thanks to lazy designers). Some games like Driver Parallel Lines, Guitar Hero, Rock Band (1 only), and many others failed to use the Wii's wonderful capabilities. Let's start with Guitar Hero III. The Wii port blows in the visuals department. I mean really! The singer's mouth is HUGE!!! The drummer looks like a robot, the drummer's crash cymbals, ride, and hi-hat move before the drummer hits them. And, unlike the 360/PS3 version, the Wii includes no real-time hair ragdoll effects. Their hair moves on it's own :conf: ! Now to Driver. This game looks like a PS1 title. It has a mediocre GTA clone story, Crappy ingame effects and somehow I love crashing my car and getting the cops' attention. Well this game is terrible. This game makers put digital shit on the disc. This is the essence of ******* **** ****** ** ** ** *** * ****. DO NOT pick this game up!!!. Well. Also before I go, I will breifly discribe the audio proccessor. It can play 120 sounds per nano second and output them at 5.1 Dolby Pro-Logic EXII. Ok. Here is my game library;
ºZelda: Twilight Princess
I give it 100%
ºMetroid Prime: 3
I give it 100%
Super Smash Bros. Brawl:
I Give it 100%. 200% with friends
ºRock Band 1:
I give it an 80%
Reason:
The soundtrack is supberb, along with Band Mode, but the lack off Downloable Content, Character Customization, and online multi player kinda sucks.
ºGuitar Hero: III
I give it 80%
Reason:
Good online 2 player and soundtrack, but horseshit visuals make hate it.
Resident Evil: 4 (Wii Edition)
I give it 100%
No More Heroes:
I give it 95%
Reason:
I kinda dislike the cartoon graphics but I love everything else!
Driver: Parallel Lines
I give it nothing
Reason:
Plain old shit.
That concludes my topic. Sorry for the length. Please don't make stupid replies.

Manhunt 2 - Shitty Graphics, Into Murdering People? This IS a game for YOU form killing with Plastic bags to Machine Guns this is the most Violent Game i have ever played and i recommend it to anyone with a Wii. BUY IT Rockstar Games I Love you.

The fact why it's considered 'sucky' is beceause XBOX360 / Playstation 3 Have both more graphical power than the Wii, Yet they forget Wii is not based to become HD Gaming machine, but pure Motion Sensed Gaming..
Wii is not really counted as a real HD Gaming console, yet people always look to it as it has to be a PS3 or Xbox... This isn't relevant to any of these, Wii is something on itself..
I Don't conisder it sucky myself, It is special, and quite amazing (Motion Sensing like that i've never seen )

If you are having a party with girls or such, get the Wii, way more fun then just sitting down to some. But if your an old school video game player, then get 360 or PS3... :cool:

I have both, as shown in the other post "Who the?!?". The Wii motion sensing is far more satisfying than PS3's Six-axis since Wii can read 12 axis plus IR sensor. The remotes have a built-in speaker, and "communicate" with the Wii via Blu-Tooth. And for the old school gamer thing, the Wii Shop Channel carries original NES, SNES, TurboGrafx 16, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, NEO GEO, and N64 titles available for download ^ ^. You have to use the Wii-mote like an NES remote (sideways), or use either the classic remote or Gamecube remote to play. I have Donkey Kong: Dixie Kong's double trouble, Pokemon Snap!, and the flawless Zelda: Ocarina of Time. All are bought by Wii Points. They're like gift cards. 100 points = $1

It has pr0n, ON ZEH TV!

RE4 on wii version rocks..
Its awesome.. i would play it more.. if i had a wii :(
-
Red Steel was a major disappointment. It sucked bad, man.
Super Monkey Ball was also complete shite.
I traded my Wii for an Xbox 360 with a family member, because they were always using the Wii and I the Xbox.
If you like the Wii, great! I used to love it. But the novelty quickly wore off, and I went for the Xbox instead. Although, to be honest, I still always favour PC.
If you like the idea of the Wii, then try it out. It can be really fun. But if you're into slightly less "Wii-like" games, get an Xbox 360.

just get no new console i had a wii sold it and didnt buy other console i love the pc and ill stick with the pc for a while ;)
-
" Why the Wii is considered "sucky" to some "
Ehmm i guess that many ppl many ppl consider Wii " sucky " cuz he doesent have the graphics of an Xbox360 or Playstation 3 ! But still i like the Wii :) its a funny console and more funny to play with friends :) !

Simpely because the Wii takes more the attention for Casual Gamers then Hardcore gamers.
In the TV Ads I see, the Wii gets showed like a cool thing with Wii Fit, the internet features and etc. The first time I tried it, the control does not work comfortable for me.
The wii get sold like a Casual Game control, the Wii just cannot give hardcore gamers want. For example:
Need for Speed Undercover on Wii:
[yt=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcejE7Rt-Q8[/yt]
This does look very diffrent then the other console's versions. 1 good side of this is that you not need to ride in the shining sun.
Another example:
Bully

PS2 looses, but that is not the newest next-gen, so take that out..
Xbox 360 clearly wins, because of the details and the good graphics, Wii just cannot give it because of their hardware which is a optimized PS2.
No, I not say Wii sucks, I not say I hate Wii. I like the Wii to use it, but not to own it. In my eyes, a waste of money just because a PC is alot better to have, or atleast to have a PS3 if you want quite good games to play.
The Wii also not gives games I like, games like quizes isn't my thing, and with the WiiMote thing to control the questions just sucks for me. You can also do fun games like mini-games, but it is only fun for a booring weekend... but is that your money worth? I more want games like GTA IV, Counter Strike, mirror's edge, FIFA, Half-Life, Portal or other games like that with a great online feature which you can play for months. Wii does not have it, Wii does not have games like that to offer for me. (yes, some are, but still)
Nintendo released the Wii too early, the game devolpers or Nintendo can hardly give what people like me wants, and that is why many people say things like that the Wii sucks.

For that video example, couldnt of the TVs had different picture settings?...
-
For that video example, couldnt of the TVs had different picture settings?...
Yes. I'm sure they did. My TV has the whole color thing modified and it is running the Wii at 1080p (up convert). But, I set it up when it was running at 480p then I looked at it in 576p (PAL) then switched to 720p (Very Good!), then 1080i, and finally, 1080p. It pwns. My current audio setup is a Phillips amp with 6 speakers. All modified at an specific Decibel volume, and timing. So, playing any Dolby Pro logic Game on it sounds like watching a Blu Ray. My current settings on my tv are
Sharpness 4 and sometimes 6 out of 7.
Color 65 out of 100
Tint Neutral (my TV has color correction and Progressive Scan filter)
Brightness at 45 out of 100
Contrast 33 out of 100
The Color Backlight at 100
The Color Temp. is
Blue 150
Green 145
Red 150.

Yes, but still.. Technicly the Wii cannot give the quality Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 gives in whatever TV you look...

Also beceause the developers of the Wii (Nintendo) Didn't made it for amazing graphics and go conquer with Xbox360 and Playstation 3..
They wanted to create something complete different, wich the wii is, after all.

True...
But they forgot to focus to the people who made them big, the hardcore gamers...
-
they still have the nintendo games so the gamers that made them big are still there with the wii, nintendo just made the wii for everyone also for hardcore (nintendo) gamers but if you want a xbox360 or ps3 go ahead no-one will stop you the wii is just better in so many ways ;)
-
To be quite honest I do not like Wii much, but the thing that I like with Wii that they made something new instead of new consoles such as PS3, xbox and more if you get my idea. I think the main thing for Wii is that the console is for everyone also for the moms and fathers and more. They made something new and diffrent and that I like.

I see Wii as a "fun" console, if you know what I mean. Something you play for a couple of minutes to relax. (Well not with Wii fit maybe) Not like some crazy Halo fan that plays his sexbox 22 hours a day superserialy.
