OK, first off  Im an Old school gamer and i know people that work in the industry  ...i started gaming with the Atari 2600 and ive been having a blast since then!

i still play with my NES, snes, gamecube, n64, sega systems, playstations, xboxes, colecovision, turbo grafx 16, neo geo, amoung others...even imports so i know what im talking about here..

i like Nintendo..its a great gaming company and they have always had awesome systems and 3rd party games that really shined...when i think of playing nintendo  its mostly on the nes or snes (classics never go out of style..in fact some of them are more fun to play even today!  i know im not alone on this one)

when the Wii came out  like everybody i was looking forward to see what was Nintendo's next gen system like.. but when i saw the gameplay using that weird controller IT WAS A REAL LETDOWN..now im not hating or anything here, but motion usage in video games don't really work...remember the power pad, the power glove etc? even some on some wii games  this tech dosent really work...  yep this is one system that will sit in your closet collecting dust..thats where mine is  and will be for a long time i bet.

 i gave the wii a chance, and well  it didn't feel like nintendo.  first off the system was rushed to  be released to compete with the Xbox 360 and the playstation 3..both systems which  are FAR MORE SUPERIOR in hardware and processing ..which gives stellar graphics. the wii's graphics are lackluster at best...think of a dressed up gamecube...nothing really eye poping when you think of next gen systems...

 lets talk about games...you want to play a campaign with master chief, or call of duty modern warfare?  well you find these games on the wii...but you'll find almost every nintendo  child friendly remake.. super mario wii?  give me a break..how about making a new character or something?  mario was cool  but is played out you look at the wii section  90 percent of the games are aimed at small children..minus some of the cross platform games .

 for games on the wii  they are mostly dumbed down to compensate for that weird controller again  and the short attention spans of the player..  the wii is a system thats  a party system to be dragged out when  people come over...its Not a real gaming system...i know the fanboys will likely rip into this  but hey,  have you looked at yourselves..waving a controller around  playing games like animal crossing? (giggles here)

the online system for the wii is a JOKE  it cant compare to  xbox live or the ps network..  the whole virtual console is a good idea, but for gamers like me that have our original games and systems still..this is not making the wii stand out.
  when i tried the online system for nintendo..it was so lackluster and bland..

You can tell this system was  developed with the soccer moms and familys in mind...thats why its so cheap..that gimmick worked for them in the beginning but now all systems have price cuts..if you want an awesome system..get a ps3 or a 360  heck, even a gamecube  that still is  a great system!  see Nintendo used to make great systems...

where i work, if i get somebody looking for a great system  i tell them about all 3  and most  skip on the wii.

Hopefully, the next system from nintendo will be worthy of their name..and the wii left in the dust.
