Seriously, you graphic *****s need to stop. While the Wii used GameCube development kits for its first few games (Red Steel, Twilight Princess), that is changing this year, as evidenced by SSBB and Super Mario Galaxy.

Also, stop saying the Wii has no 3rd party support, especially since over 2/3 of Wii games coming out this year are from 3rd party publishers.

Once people stop saying the 360 has only PC ports, and that the PS3 is overpriced, then you will get your wish :twisted:

I hope so. It'll be interesting to see if the Wii version looks all that much better than the PS2 version. I've seen the recent vids from IGN and they look pretty nasty - Wii Sports Golf looked more clear and crisp! :o

I canät understand why the devs treats Wii like a last-gen console. I guess the "innovation" provides easy cash. . .

Looks like someone hasn't heard of Virtual boy :P

Edit: except Virtual boy wasn't exactly milked. But it was treated badly.

If the Wii isn't next-gen, then the 360 and PS3 are muffin communists from outer space sent to destroy Captain George W. Bush of the USS Enterprise.

Well..neither can a PS3 or an X360 individually..if you don't have them all, then you're missing out on something.

PS3 cannot satisfy anyone's fix. Except for cows, perhaps.

your right, the wii is been treated like a wh*re of ports, and its too sad Nintendo covering this fact with "the innovative controller" remark. its good games that make a system- not focusing on a controller. eveyone treats nintendo like their the darling of gaming, nintendo is here to make money (like sony and ms), thats why their be load of ports on wii and many simular games from the nintendo established franchines. every generation nintendo give us: zelda-(always start in his village and then something happens, all the time) mario- super mario- paper mario- mario cart-mario party metroid ( eventually moving in the right direction, gc itteration make the franchise feel fresh) super smash bros. (great but stale franchise) wario -_- good game but too much of the samething aint good every generation (nes- now). Pikmin and ethernal darkness were great games though, nintendo need to move away from the staple games and create more innovative games.

But 360 does have PC ports and it's impossible to be proven wrong. PS3 is overpriced for the meantime. Wii hasn't showed us gamecube+ graphics yet, but will eventually

right now i agree there are few games for "hardcore" gamers. but with success will come support for many demographics. I currently use my pc to supplement my more savage gaming needs.

I'm a gamer and it is he only console I have. I am not buying another console.

So, technically, either I say you're wrong or you need to revise your statement that it can not satisfy a gamer's need. Because what you like/think is a good game is going to be different than thousands of other gamers.

The Wii is a gimmick system. The hardware is not up to par with next generation. It's in fact last gen visuals. How long will swinging a remote at a screen remain entertaining? They have a game like Wii for sale in the mall for a fraction of the price and you get to swing a racket at a screen all for 49.95. But more power to Nintendo for, as always, tapping the market that neither Microsoft or Sony focused on.

How is the Wii an overclocked GC? Could you provide me a list of parts the Wii is using that were also in the Gamecube, to play it's Wii games? Because honestly, from how I see it. If the Wii is an overclocked GC then the Xbox 360 is an overclocked Xbox.

How long will mashing buttons remain entertaining? Well, according to N, it has, sort of. Thus the new controller (option), the wii remote.

The Wii cpu, Broadway is a powerpc cpu clocked in at 729 Mhz compared to the GC cpu, Gekko, another powerpc cpu clocked in at 485Mhz.

The Wii gpu, Hollywood gpu is clocked in at 243 Mhz whereas the GC gpu is clocked in at 162 Mhz and both gpus are architecturally very similar.

The wii has 88MB main ram and 3MB texture RAM whereas the GC has 43MB non unified ram.

So really the Wii is an overclocked GC

Ah... so it is an overclocked GC. Well even so, I'm sure the Wii will provide some great 1st party games. Now if only Nintendo would work harder on third party games.

Fanboys.... If you think the Wii is bad for ports, look at ps2 and psp. Those things share more ports than a bordello does STD's.

Check my blog to see a good explanation as to why this is happening. The pile of PS2 ports will soon dissipear.
