Wii vs. Vii: Sincere flatterii

Alacrity Golf is MUCH funnier than Atrocity Golf.

"I feel somewhat agitated as I line up this putt. Is it zeal? Is it fervor? No! It is alacrity!"

wtf is ur problem? U know what, get a Wii, get the latest hardcore games if ur into that n come back n tell us ur wrong for accusing Wii being a hardcore failure.

U FAIL!!!

+1 to Shaggi, I lol'd.

-1 to Brendan for giving us Ninty fans a bad name... or at least making everyone else think we can't use proper grammar for shit.

Hardcore? Lets see.... We have Metroid and.... um.

@brennan friend of mine mistakenly bought one, not worth it. it's purely a gimmick, as is vii. he ic constantly complaining about the lack of grown person games. glad i had 360 before and bought ps3 instead of a wii when they came out. metroid was pretty cool but other than that what is there that is "hardcore"?

Funniest thing i've read today!

+1 Shaggi...LOL!!!

The only gimmick I see is Shagittarius. A sad, predictable, attention-starved gimmick.

honestly shag, I seriously doubt you even know what a Gimmick is.

Witty yet satisfying comment, good job... haha

Good thing the article never specifies which is which.

Brennan, I think people would listen to you if you spelled out you.

U FAIL!!? No.
YOU fail.

lol, despite sore wii owners keep voting down such comments

Pay no mind to Phattie, he only wishes he was half the troll you are.

Well, Shag is definitely half the person that Phattie is. *Bu-Dum-Psh*

OMG Ludwig!!!!!!

LMAO!!!!!!

Uncontrollably!!!!!!

I would have laughed Shag, had it not been completely predictable that one of your sony trolls would come into the thread and say it.

The Wii has what: Paper Mario and Metroid? I love my Nintendo games, but those aren't the games that make me finally purchase a console. Galaxy, Smash, and Zelda might.

boo to everyone graying this out. shagi wins

Wow, several people apparently 'lol'-ing and '+1'-ing what is possibly the most imperceptive, clumsy attempt at a joke I've yet seen on this site. That is truly unfortunate.

Let's see Shag, you clever guy you, how your supposedly hilarious jab missed its target. Oh, perhaps I should begin with the fact that the ambiguity you so boldly believe yourself to have introduced was already written into the article, in its constant suspension of any specific reference as to which console of the two corresponds to the positive remarks and which the negative. In fact, this two paragraph blurb of an article did nothing but make that one joke - Can you discern the gimmick from the quality console? Ha, how hilarious that the author is repeating the now obligatory Wii=gimmick line, but in a surreptitious and playful manner. Unfortunately Joystiq's articles often contribute to the longevity of this kind of remark, as can be seen from their repeated references to two Gamecubes duct-taped together. Even if done in the safety of a joke, bringing that back over and over again in any form gives it unnecessary currency.

But luckily we have you to come in and make the obvious jokes so much more painfully obvious and humorless. Where would we be without you?

@Warioswoods

Its all true.

What's also funny is that various posts on the original Chinese article poke fun at how the Wii is only for the "under 7 and over 65" demographic. Good to know that the harcore gamer's perception of him/herself is the same in every language.

Made me laugh to beat the band.

1. Lawsuit
2. ???
3. Profit

I hate you, but I'll give you that. That was pretty good.

2 neo geos duct taped together would be more powerful then the Wii. hell 2 Neo Geos duct taped together may become sentient and take over the world. and don't even think about the world shattering power that is 2 dreamcasts duct taped together.

It can't be two Neo Geos duct taped together, that would put it in the vague price range of "having to take out a second mortgage"

Do you think if you duct taped 2 Virtual Boys together people would go blind?

No, no, no. 2 POPstations duct-taped together.
Or most likely 2 Neo Double Game's stuck together http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow9SHsnFG2U

because of course each one of the billion chinese want their own wii.

... or have electricity

W-Wow. Hydralisk, ...wow.

Are you really that stupid?

...wow.

What happened to us Americans actually being well informed of other cultures?

"What happened to us Americans actually being well informed of other cultures?" When was this ever the case?

Actually Fatass, it seems you are the arrogant one.

"China has more than 10 million people who still don't have electricity. In rural areas, many children have never seen an electric light."

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9947668

If about 10 million don't have electricity, then that means about 990 million do. That's about one percent of the Chinese population.

... Just throwing out numbers.

Whether it's 1% or 10%, 10 million people is a hell of a lot.
