I don't think I'll ever understand this nintendo hate.
HOW can you hate nintendo? They've been in the biz for years and continuously make great games! I for one appreciate the company and what they've done. Especially this generation, when the 360 and ps3 have gone towards Hi-Def gaming(The most WORTHLESS hyped up evolution of games ever) as opposed to content, gameplay, or anything important. Games dont need to be in HD, especially with so many complications that go with getting the correct TV, cables, what have you. Nintendo has stuck to the standard. Not only does it make it MUCH cheaper for the average consumer, but they get to focus on how the games PLAY as opposed to how they look.
On that note, the Wii doesnt JUST have Nintendo franchises. It has Elebits(Konami), Sonic(Sega), MarbleMania(Hudson) ect. to name a few. And hey, they're really awesome games at that!
I can go on about how great the Wii is, but that won't convince trolls like sheppy and whoever else jumps on teh hate banwagon.
Gamers dig the Wii, live with it, you're gonna have to.
I think the only problem with the Wii "shortages", is that the majority are going to others places othar than the US.
Japan and Europe seem to have a healthy supply as far as I can tell. Its the US thats beggin for more. Which makes sense, since who would think the US(SHOOT KILL BLOOD SEX)market would be into the Wii.
I think once Nintendo sees the Wii is still a sell out in the US market, they'll step it up and ship more over here. HOPEFULLY they see it. Or they run risk of people just not caring about getting one anymore.
I'm going to Bestbuy tomorrow morning to get Pokemon. I already have a Wii, but I'll see if they are really a bunch of them there, or a bunch of people waiting to grab one.
When my friends and I play SaturnBomberman(best game EVAR!), we always call Milon, "Noddy". The AI for Milon/Noddy likes to stand still at random times and do a little nodding animation, hence the name.
Oh good times.
I wonder how Noddys Secret Castle is, I never played it.
Since the series is so huge now, the REAL news would be that whenever Capcom decides to make a new fighting game with their characters, you better believe an Ace Attorney dude will be there to duke it out!
"Developers are drooling over the power the PS3 gives them" And not happy that their sales won't be very good. If they want "power" to develop games(and by power I assume you mean graphics), they'd be a PC developer.
also, "The only problem I see in the near future are developers struggling to fit a decent game on the DVD for the 360." There has never been any game thats had this problem on any console unless its plauged with FMVs. Basically a movie, or a game with to many cutscenes. You want to watch movie or ya want to play games?
I dont know if you've noticed, but developers like making shorter games. Quicker to make, quicker to send out, quicker to make money and be ready to make another game soon after.
Its unfortunate that HD graphics hog up so much space on current discs. HD graphics arnt worth scrapping game content, but thats whats happening. You'll see it in GTA4, when you notice GTA3 had a much bigger world. The methods to compress data get better every day. The space videogames take up on discs arnt expanding, its the lame HighDef content.
But really Matt B, why are you trying to defend the ps3? Are you not happy with it?
Freakonomics and Wii at Best Buy tomorrow

NPD: March belongs to DS, PS2
Apr 19th 2007 10:44PM (Joystiq)MS or Sony.
Not that it really matters, both of them have enough money to give ps3s and 360s away to millions if they wanted. Neither is in trouble.
