Every single joke that could be made about the Wii was already made within seventy-two hours of its announcement. Even if you think you've come up with a super-clever one, stop yourself and remember that it has already been done. In fact, it's already been done a thousand times or more.
I admit. The name is a setback. However, it's not only the name that makes me unsure about the, er... Wii. I think Nintendo started going wrong years back - since the GameCube days. There's deviating, and there's deviating a Wii bit too much. I've lost my faith in Nintendo, personally. Look at what they've done to all the major franchises...
In Mario games, they've introducted the abomination who is Waluigi, and they've tried adding a storyline when there really is no point at all. They've just made the Mario franchise what it was never meant to be. I could go on about it for ages, but there's no point. I think they've tried too hard to change the gameplay experience in Zelda too. Take Wind Waker for example. It's good fun, yes, but it just doesn't feel like Zelda. Ugh, I could go on about more for this too.
Heck, I'm tired, I've got work soon, so I'm not gonna bother. You've also got to consider that in England, 'wee' has even more meaning. With a large amount of gamers being chavs, who'd rather spend their money on FIFA Street 2, do you really think they're going to "buy a wee?" I think not.
Everything you just said was said 'bout the DS and look where it is.Originally Posted by Shaun
Funny, you'll SEE how much it'll sell:chuckle:
United Statiens talk to much, in the end they'll buy the damn system.
o.o That doesn't seem like much to me. They added a story to Mario, added a character to Mario, and made the Wind Waker. The first one sounds horrible, but when I play Super Mario Sunshine (Assuming that is the one you were referring to), most of the time I am going through levels collecting stars and coins. It just so happens that some story elements happen in the middle as well as at the beginning and the end. Waluigi is a dumb character, yes, but he's just a character who appears in the sports games. About Zelda, I can't really see why the Wind Waker doesn't feel like Zelda besides the Cel-Shaded graphic style, but it really was a one time thing besides Zelda PH. o.o
Please note: Anything that sounds rude in this post was not intentional.
I would agree with you Shaun that Nintendo's been slipping in their first party titles since the GC came out, though I don't really agree with your reasons. I could list plenty of problems I've seen in first party Nintendo game I've played over the last several years, but I don't want to get off topic here. The thread is about the name "Wii" after all. I did like how you slipped Wii in place of we, and such though. Surprisingly, I don't think I've actually noticed someone do that since the name was announced. Then again, I tend to skim posts, and I'm not that observent all the time, so what do I know.
Nintendo have been doing weird stuff since the N64, nevermind the GC. It's the handheld market which has kept them from going the way of SEGA, as far as I was aware.
Not really. Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and their other great franchises kept and will KEEP Nintendo in business.
I want a Nintendo Schit....
I wouldnt mind buying a Wii.
Hey, I wouldn't care if they called it poop if it is a good console it is a good console and worth buying.
If only, if only.
That's wiilley retarded!
Ho ho ho I bet you didn't think of that one now did you.
I don't care if "Wii" is the official name of the Next-Gen Nintendo system I'm still going to call it the "Revolution" it just sounds better in my opinion.
