Next Gen War

Their press conference at E3 '04 was all about how it was the "third pillar" in the Nintendo lineup. I was pretty amazed when I saw it at their conference, but then I saw the PSP and thought that was infinitely cooler. Too bad there's very few good games for either of them.

Oblivion is probably the first game I've seen that really took advantage of the 360's power...

Yoshi would agree with this: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

Someone hasn't played Trauma Center.

Somebody doesn't give a shit about Trauma Center, great that it's fun for you however. I don't want anyone to NOT enjoy thier Wii or PS3, I just don't think the systems are all that yet. BUT I'M NOT HERE TO SAY THAT.

I want to know how the virtual arcade thing is and how well it works with the Wiimote.

also: Joust is just doing in Wii threads what omfgninjas did in every Nintendo thread, saying virtually the same shit too.

It'd be great if everyone set Zboz Wiiliams to ignore like I did.

"Super Mario Sunshine is probably the best example, because its Mario, Nintendo's flagship series. But you don't see people running around praising the game for its amazing innovation and gameplay JUST because its a Mario game, do you?"

Go check Gamerankings. All of these games (or most anyway, I didn't even read the list carefully) have absurdly huge ass scores for no reason. So yes, if it was any other developer (or let's just safely say "almost any other developer"), they would get much less.

Do you want me to honestly believe that a game that could have easily been done on the Cube should get a 9.6 average on a system that came out 5 years later? Hell no. It's muddy ass textures, shit dialogue, a dorky UI...it's just bigger than OoT. Well that's amazing. If it was called something else and developed by some hated or no-name developer, people would have LOLed at it like I did after 10 minutes (actually in minute one, when I saw a scene that was straight out of Shadow of the Colossus, complete with the same crap texture seams/shimmer on the bridge). I mean, if it was EA, people would have said, "LAWL 10 years later!" And...rightfully so.

Nintendo released the Wii to piss off Joust.

And that's why I bought it.

Sold!

[Rumpy]

Didn't Sunshine sell really well right at release?

DS lite is the game market in Japan. Every week it outsells every other game system combined. Often 2-3 times over.

As it should be.

Games stopped needing more powerful hardware to be "more fun" years ago. DS=powerful enough, online, cheap, and small with several interface options.

No reason it shouldn't be stomping everything else.

Except for the part that it has no games

But we have already established that Japan sucks and you're blind.
