[quote name='iRent']For having a bunch of 4 and 5 star RPGs/Action RPGs in your collection I'm surprised your not interested in the titles I mentioned.
I haven't played the last 2 zelda titles but they haven't changed the formula much.
The most off putting part about the Wii is they let too much crapware onto their system. It's not just the Wii. If you look at the PS2's massive library, half of them are crap.
I actually like what they've done with the wii. If only they spent more time making games like SMG2. (not platforming but good games. SMG2 is one of the most relaxing games I've played in a while. I don't know why. Maybe it's because of how I have the sensor set up and how i hold the nunchuck and wiimote. It's something you can't experience with a normal controller.[/QUOTE]
It's not so much that I don't have an interest in RPGs (though I like fewer and fewer of the ones released, at least of the JRPG variety), it's just that I don't like sitting down to play games on the Wii. It's really the system that I dislike more than the games, though there aren't many that I want to play on it. But it'd take all night to explain the reasoning for that and this thread would go all kinds of off course. It's not even that I don't think the Wii has merits, I'd just much rather have it as an addon for my PS3 (or even my hugely neglected 360) than as a standalone system that is so drastically under-featured in other areas. There are already too many games to play on systems that I enjoy using more so my interest in Wii games is even lower than it would be on the individual merits alone.
Sure there was tons of crap on PS2, but it also had more great games than any other system in history where as I can think of 5 retail Wii games that I've really liked. Even then it's 2010 and I don't really want to play PS2 games anymore either. I like the features of a modern console, particularly the scope that they allow, and a Wii just does not provide that experience. Plus I have to push the input button twice on my remote and then everything looks fuzzy because it's all 480p.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is
ing great though. It fixes the problem of the first Galaxy being boring and insultingly easy and with twice as many stars even if you only need a similar percentage to complete the game there is a heck of a lot more to do and the pacing is significantly better.
As far as comfort of the remote/nunchuk combination, I'll agree as far as the games that use it properly. Playing Zelda on Wii was great and still the only video game I've ever been able to play well while lying down on the couch. There's definitely something to be said for that, but for most games I still greatly prefer a gamepad. I have a feeling I'll like more games, but still not most, with that sort of controller when there is a higher fidelity pointer, more comfortably placed face buttons, and an analog stick that doesn't try to force me into one of 8 directions. I guess I'll find out this fall when Sony releases the
Sexaxis Motion Dildo, assuming that they have any compelling software to go with it, which I'd put somewhere between unlikely and somewhat unlikely if I had to make a prediction of sorts.
Like I said, nothing wrong with liking the Wii. It's a system, plays some games. It just ain't for me, even though I've really liked a handful of games for it.
He won't mind I think.
