You guys are posting in the Wii topic.

We don't want your Xbox or PS3.

I'm not continuing this conversation.

Go play your Halo 3.

I love it. Backing out when I'm asking a simple question, and leaving a little quip like that. Nice. FYI, I own a Wii, too. I just don't like it when people present the PS3 as the only alternative to graphics. It's also offensive to me when I see ads on TV for UT or CoD4 and after the ad, the PS3 logo shows. Even though those games are for 360 as well.

That sums it up. Plus, I said it was offensive to me. Other people probably don't feel that way, but I do.

extremejon09: Okay, imagining ... done. So what? I don't care. I don't see anything wrong with what I said. If you could point it out, maybe I could understand a little better.

You know what's wrong? The fact that Wii fans seem to think that the fact that it's made by Nintendo allows them to justify every negative thing and never shut up about it. All the time I hear the same collection of phrases, repeated over and over and over. Who cares if it looks like crap? Go get a ps3 lol. Who cares if they just superimposed waggling on a game that doesn't need waggle? Just shut up and get over it lol. Who cares if it's short? It's fun while it lasted lol. Who Cares if the voice acting's annoying? Nintendo games don't have good voice acting lol. Who cares if the Variety is awful? Stop whining It's going to good anyways lol. Who cares if it's just rehash? I like this series too much to care lol. Who cares if it's dumbed down compared to the versions on other systems? Go get an xbox then lol

tl;dr shut up game can have bad aspects to them.

Okay, now what did I say that spawned a facepalm? I didn't say anything that tried to justify anything about MK's graphics or anything, for that matter.

The fact that you continue arguing about the stupidest, completely unimportant bullcrap.

HEY, I DIDN'T SAY THAT, YOU SAID THAT. I DIDN'T MEANT THAT, YOU'RE AN IDIOT. I WASN'T BEING SERIOUS, THAT WAS SARCASM.

You lost me. Are you saying Wii fans are retarded or...what?

Well, you could have shortened my rant by just saying that. My apologies.

More accurate generalisation: Fanatics are retarded.

_________________

I must admit that those graphics are indeed atrocious, but considering the fact that the game will be in motion most of the time, some of those crappier details won't be visible. Also, Double Dash on the Gamecube wasn't too great graphically either. This is basically Double Dash graphics with slightly better face models and bloom lighting.

See: Wave Race 64

EDIT:
Also, I just found this comparison between the two games (though the comparison shots are kind of old; I've seen a post like this before). Whatever, though. I don't really care as long as the rest of the game is good.

EDIT 2: Wii Ware and Wii Fit US release dates are May 12th and 19th, respectively. Uh-oh, Nintendo apparently isn't going to regulate the games that come out for the service. Shovelware almighty.

Ha ha, blind fanboy much?

These graphics are pretty terrible, he has every right to complain. I guess I might be spoiled and automatically comparing them to Brawl... but jeez, I guess they have to look better in motion or something.

I love Nintendo as much as the rest of you but dang it if I didn't enjoy the crap out of, say, Crysis and its awesome graphical power and open environments. You don't have to shoot down anything without a Nintendo stamp on it just because you feel threatened.

_________________

I said it because I have no patience today and I don't want to hear "buy a ps3" in a Wii thread. I KNOW the Wii has poor graphics in comparison. Would it be awesome to have ps3 type graphics? Yes, those are beautiful. The Mario Kart graphics here are mediocre. I am aware of that. Will it detract from gameplay? Sure, I guess, if that's really what you care about. Different strokes for different folks.

I've always been one of the most level-headed "fanboys" here. But Jesus Christ, apparently I can't even make one slip up in any topic without you burying me in a paragraph if thinly veiled insults. Don't brand me as some kind of idiot.


Sorry, but calling me "blind" really gets to me. Especially when you go on some tangent, acting like you're high-and-mighty and I'm the kind of idiot you see on Nintendo fanboy forums in the darkest corner of the internet.

I dunno why, but "blind" really sets me off for some reason. Gets my goat. Gets my panties in a twist. Burns my biscuit. You get the picture. Sorry again.

I'm not comparing them to PS3 graphics, I'm comparing them to Wii graphics. I'm not a graphics whore, but Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers Brawl... they all really look great. Even Wii Sports looks nice and crisp. So with another flagship Nintendo game, it seems weird to have character models passable on the Nintendo 64. I'm sure it'll look much better in motion, but right now its pretty terrible to look out.

And really looking at it, the original PS3 comment was made offhand after saying the graphics weren't that bad, and was most likely in jest.

But eh... this is stupid, I'll be leaving now.

stop poverty NOW!

Oh boy! More than one lousy game designed for it!

And, to throw in my two cents for the whole graphical debate thing...
I own all three of the next gen systems, and yes, I do love my INSANE GRAFIKS. After looking at those shots, does it dissuade me from buying Mario Kart? Not at all. I've been playing Mario Kart with a passion my whole life, and I'm not going to give it up, just because a tube looks like a hexagon. And why would I be looking at that when I'm driving?

And finally, Commodore 64 games are coming to Virtual Console.

In Europe only for now. But it'll move stateside, I assume.

Oh boy, 10 pieces of shovelware.

Regarding this beautiful gem:

The reason for this is because sony marketing made the deal for the ad.

Why would sony say "And if you dont weant to give us money, give it to microsoft or nintendo."?

Meh, I like Wii Fit. Will I buy it? I don't know. It does seem pretty fun, though.

_________________

I'll possibly be buying another wii over the summer. The only reason I sold the old one was because I needed the money right then.

But if I do buy it, I wont even look twice at wii fit, no matter how fun it is. I've spent hundreds on a weight bench, weights, bars, miscellaneous accessories and such. Nothing you can do with the wii could ever come close to emulating benching a 265 pound bar, or riding a bike 20 miles.

To me, it just seems like bad discipline.

_________________

I won't be buying Wii Fit as there is a gym about two seconds from my house and that would be $50 wasted. If it was a rentable game I might try it but other than that I don't see myself playing it.
