The Wii..yay or nay

[losersclub]

It's a nay from me, although No More Heroes is fantastic and i'm looking forward to S&P2

The only reason we still have one in the house is because it's my lasses, i sold mine last year

i think that the VC is a fantastic idea in principle but we suffer from having the crap Pal versions of most NES/Snes games

Surely I can't be the only one who gets a sickly feeling caused by these? I get the same feeling when I look at vintage cars, Tudor paintings and Eastern Bloc films/cartoons/marionette shows if that helps.

^I adored the Gamecube dashboard, it was more evocative and atmospheric than most of its games, like a grey-haired Mario hunched over a tumbler of bourbon, cogitating on the inadequacy of his existence as a plumber, then attempting suicide via slitting his wrists with a shard of broken glass, but then loads of mushrooms spew out, and he's big Mario again, only with erectile dysfunction.

This thread just took a turn for the seriously bizarre.

It is the only console I haven't bought in over 30 years of gaming. I have tried out my brothers but it just didn't seem much of a change to the Game cube, which can picked up for a fraction to the price of the Wii. Its main attraction to me is the old games in the store, but I have or played them to death anyway.

I probably will pick one up one day, but for now I don't miss having one. I can always borrow one as most people I know only use it to play Wii Sports when they are drunk.
