[quote name='xycury']that thread needs to be closed.
But maybe I have the same hatred for the iphone too... I really don't think it's a gaming platform though there are some choice apps.
I enjoy the wii, I don't breathe and eat it but it's good for what it was trying to do. It doesn't RROD and it wasn't hugely expensive with a lesser library of games.
Things are changing but the damn thing came out in 2006... already almost 4 years old.
Already pre-ordered with ECA so waiting for whenever they release it.[/QUOTE]
Honestly I'm personally a bit disappointed in the lack of decent games recently as well (that is to say, I haven't really powered my Wii on since Mario Kart, other than a VC title here or there). But I don't hate the system by any means, and of course, I think it's hard to deny some of the stuff on the horizon (i.e. like NSMB Wii) is not going to be great
It's sad that some people have to be such adament fanboys about this stuff though. That comment about how SSBB is a "fake fighter for children" was hilariously pathetic.
The whole thing about NSMB Wii being the DS game though, I still don't understand where they are pulling that from (well, I *know* where, but still...) I mean, all you have to do is watch the trailer for the thing to see that it looks absolutely nothing like the DS version other than "it has Mario and it is 2D". Honestly, that's exactly why I am so excited for it - it's *not* the DS game. I was actually disappointed in the DS title, it just felt very flat to me (best explaination I can come up with is boring level design). It felt like they were taking the "remake of SMB1" aspect a little too seriously in some cases, to the detriment of the game. This on the other hand, resembles something closer to SMB3 or SMW, which is exactly what I think the original was missing. Just watching the trailer, there is *variety* in the levels. Crazy platforming, different, awesome power-ups. Even the Koopa Kids are returning! It actually feels creative, rather than derivative.. if that makes sense
So yeah, I can't wait
