Wii?

I'm getting a Wii... But I'm not so sure if I'll be getting it on launch day. I missed the opportunity to reserve one, so now I'll probably have to brace myself for a rush at the stores. I have a few games preordered though. Excite Truck is one of my most anticipated games.

I am still the only person I've seen anywhere in the world who has ever admitted to anyone that they will never be getting the Wii due solely to personal preference ... <_< I could pay for it easily, I just don't want one.

Seriously, it makes me feel alone ... :(

What are you basing this personal preference on? (You know...since the system isn't out yet)

Mainly the games coming out for it (I can name a GCN game that's almost exactly the same as nearly every title currently announced) and personal experience with motion sensor technology (I'd guess that it'd cost hundreds of dollars to get a fully 3D-sensitive wireless control system that works well, and the Wii is only $250 ... it makes one question the potential quality of the design).

I could do that for the 360 and PS3 too, but I'll humour you anyway: What GCN title is almost exactly identical to Red Steel?

Which would be what?

...Not really, considering the Wii is not cheap for what it is, it's 4 year old hardware with a motion sensing remote and it costs $250, that's expensive, and according to everybody who's actually played with the system it works fine.

Couple that with Nintendo always having the most robust hardware (I needn't recount the multitude of woe-tales about PS2 DREs must I?)

Do I detect a hint of fanboyism? :rolleyes:

I've lost my former interest in Nintendo in recent times, and the fact that every place I go is filled with people who seem to think that not buying the Wii will lead to their immediate and horrible death really bugs me. It makes me want to stab someone in the face with a rusty knife at this point since it's been going on for so long.

I really shouldn't have to explain to someone why I don't like a system - I just don't want a next-gen console. No one I ever say that too can just accept it and go on with what they're doing - they always, ALWAYS have to try to convince me that "not getting a new console = not being 'cool'". It will NEVER work. I don't want a new console, and I especially don't want the Wii because Nintendo has over-advertised it to the point that there's no room for a casual gamer to exist anymore.

End of rant.

I'm not the one who wasn't going to buy a system because of it's name. :rolleyes:

I don't see any of that on this forum , it just seems to me like you're dismissing something potentially good and interesting purely because of some ill-conceived pre-cognitive pre-judgement.

No I don't try to convince people to become cheerleaders for Nintendo, I merely point out when they state somethings that clearly aren't true. I.e. See my ^ above post, that you seem to have ignored. =/

LOL now you're just looking for an excuse to hate the little device, Nintendo don't do *(£&&$)_( when it comes to advertising. See: Zeldawhich comes out in three weeks....and nobody knows.

Arguing with someone who clearly shows every sign of being a Nintendo fanboy and won't admit it, in addition to trying to call someone else a bad name for not being a fanboy just like them, is utterly pointless. Which is why I wish I'd never bothered trying to post my harmless little opinion in the first place.

Why is it that all of the small forums I go to always end up being like this? All I did was post my opinion, then YOU had to go and turn it around in an attempt to make it into an argument.

And I've given more reasons than just the name for why I don't want it.

The only one throwing around names here is you actually, I have done nothing of the sort aside from soak up "zomg djo0 fanboi" remarks from your end.

Care to explain how I'm a fanboy?

Didn't think so, I can however explain why you're just blindly hating though just look up there ^

Oh I apologise I forgot we weren't supposed to discuss and recieve feedback in reference to opinions on a Message Board, what was I thinking, I was completely out of line on that one.

Also maybe they end up like this because you can't back up anything that you've said prior, just a thought. <_<

Yeah "I don't want a new console, and I especially don't want the Wii because Nintendo has over-advertised it to the point that there's no room for a casual gamer to exist anymore." was an irrefutable gem. :rolleyes:
