But the Japanese don't know anything about gaming
Haha....ahahahaha....hahahaHAHAHAHAHA
Say again?
Can't remember if I already posted in this topic, but anyway:
My vote goes to the SNES...
I had the best time with it by far...sooo many AAA games and I still haven't played all of them...plus it still has some of the best games of all time which you can play again and again and again, many of them being even better than you remember them...
The SNES is the symbol of what gaming should be about...
Personally, I think it's kinda sad to see the Wii coming second place
Looks like the "Playing is Believing" and "New Generation" brainwashing worked
Now you could argue that the Wii has all the greatest games from previous Nintendo consoles, but I say it's impossible to enjoy those games the same way you did 10 or 20 years ago, and it's a pretty cheap shot to begin with (mostly because those games are neither new nor exclusive)...
The Wii does have quite some potential, though, with many Nintendo franchises still not having made their appearance, but we're not there yet...Don't forget that the line-up of 2007 was a fucking drought up until the release of Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy, with one huge delay following the next (Remember how Metroid Prime 3 was supposed to be a launch title and Mario Galaxy was scheduled for Q1 2007?)...and by the look of it there won't be any new (major)
announcements (let alone first party games) for three months after the release of Mario Kart, so tough times are once again lying ahead...I think it should be taken into account when a console leaves me un-entertained for months
As for the motion controls - it sounds great on paper, but in practice...not so much
Pointing at things and twisting/shaking the controller is not what I'd say makes a new generation of gaming...Not even the most important titles yet are making a particularly good use of the motion controls (To be totally honest, I think Zelda TP is the best example of how
not to apply Wii controls to a game
)
I'll not even start talking about the hardware itself at this point
So no, I don't think the Wii is the best console ever, nor will it be by the end of its lifetime
And there goes another hour wasted on a random rant
