Now onward... It's not about what they have released. It's what they have comming. As per saying ethernet plugs are the only way to play competitivly, blal blah blah, no... just... no. My Computer is wireless and my 360 are wireless. Works just like I had a cord in the back, which I did a few months back.
I've played both ways and there is a very noticeable difference between wired and wireless speed. Not to be cheeky, but you've commented on the slow down yourself before, and please don't deny it and make me search through your posts to find it.
There is no sense in buying one of those crappy ethernet jacks. Might as well go out and spend the 50-60 dollars it takes to get a wireless router. If you can't afford to upgrade to a wireless router, you (not you, Fire, personally) probably do not own a Wii.
Assuming you prefer wireless.
Now to the goods. I think a lot of Wii owners are looking for online multiplayer games. I for one am most certainly ready to get my paws on Batallion Wars 2 among the other games that have just been hinted at. So I'm sure there are others.
People who favor online probably have either been avoiding the Wii or own it in combination with another system, in which case people with online games can sell to the same multiconsole gamers by making it a 360 version, plus all the millions of 360 owners that don't have a Wii.
Also considering the Wii has just slaughtered the PS3 in sales, I'd venture to say more people are lookin' into the Wii's online future than the PS3 because what, four million moreish own one?
A little over 3 million.
I for one know that if Batallion Wars 2 plays as good as it looks, Metroid's multiplayer gets confirmed, SSBB gets here, I'll probably sell my 360 because it will then be rendered useless to me for all time. Alas though, we're not waiting and praying in the masses cause you know, we actually have *some* (which implies more than one) good games to play right now as opposed to some... consoles... cough.
I have more good games now than energy to play. The PS3 Godfather is a lot of fun, Motorstorm is fun, Enchanted Arms is a decent RPG, Virtua Fighter is my second favorite franchise for fighting(behind Super Smash Bros), Oblivian port turned out better than the 360 version, and I have the most important(for me) sports game to look forward to next month, MLB 07.
As a side point, on my external hard drive, I've got the entire series of Star Trek next generation, Aqua teen hunger force, scrubs, south park, simpsons, always sunny in Philadelphia, house, firefly and outlaw star along with about 40 movies on an external harddrive that I can watch through my ps3... or throw whatever I want onto a 4 gig memory stick and watch on my new PSP.
That's not meaningful for "gaming", I suppose, but for me it's better than Dead Rising or Gears of War, the only 360 games I actually want.
Not sure what called for this but it feels like your inadequacy levels for the PS3 are gettin' high. Gogo Gadget pick me up?
Alright, Sigmund, whatever you say. Consider instead of having a problem with the PS3, I have a problem with people like you constantly annoying me with YOUR problem with it? It's not like I can't even talk about nice new features like rumble coming back without having someone attack the... oh shit, wait a second!
I think it's good they are going in all directions.
I think that wider demographics matter to Sony and Nintendo but not me and you. If they sell more Wiis to 8 year olds it doesn't mean more development to be spent on games for older gamers. Doesn't mean less really either, assuming there's not a limited supply of... oh yeah...
When you reply to me wanting to try and cut things down just keep in mind, you own the inferior good at this point, not me and not many other of us Wii owners will be offended by your snide remarks that really don't add up to what matters in the end.
I owned both goods, you didn't. I can judge inferiority for myself. Fortunately an opinion will never be a fact.
To reiterate. I don't care how many 4-13 year olds buy a Wii. It just means there will be less games for 4-13 year olds on the PS3 and more in the Wii. How many 15+ gamers own a Wii vs PS3? Well for some reason more PS3 copies of Godfather sold than of the Wii version.
which I think makes a game pretty cool. That's not going to turn me off from the games online with a Wii though, but it'll be something I wish it had more of.
Maybe not to the extent but in its own Jet Force Gemini kind of way.
