This guy called the Wii the worst game console of all time

Tnu1138

right No More Herpes.

I dunno why you'd be talking about that lame piece of shovelware, man.

The Wii's a niche console. It's for platformers, rail shooters, Roguelikes, low-budget horror games, puzzle games, herpes and rhythm games. Most people aren't going to have a list of 50 best Wii games because there's not many on there with universal appeal.

ClockworkUniverse

It lets you get Mew >_>

Tnu1138

The 360  is equally so inkblot. not to mention the PS3 being a glorified Blue Ray Player that also happens to workf or Metal Gear Solid IV and Little Big Planet.

There's Fire Emblem 10 on the Wii.

I think it's an exclusive on that, anyway. I remember buying a Wii purely for FE10.

@Tnu: You really, really need to stop talking now. Both the PS3 and the 360 have excellent game libraries. 

Now as for Wii games:

A Boy and his Blob

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

House of the Dead 2,3 and Overkill (Overkill is getting an enhanced PSMove port though.)

Klonoa

Kirby's Epic Yarn

Little King's Story

Madworld

Mario Kart Wii

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Monster Hunter Tri

New Super Mario Bros Wii

No More Heros 1 and 2

Rabbids Go Home

Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles

Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies

Sonic Colours 

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2

Super Smash Bros Brawl

Wario Land Shake It

Zelda: Twilight Princess

Upcoming you have Zelda Skyward Sword and Kirby Wii. Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Stroy too if you're in Europe or don't mind importing. 

There's also the New Play Control line, which is a bunch of Gamecube stuff rereleased with Wii controls. Includes gems like Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Pikmin 1 and 2. 

That's the just the top end of Wii stuff though. There's other stuff out there that's good/worth playing even if it isn't to the same level as the list above. 

Examples: Fragile Dreams, de Blob, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, NiGHTS Journey of Dreams, Sonic and the Black Knight etc. Stuff like that.

Oh my god.

Guys, Tnu is joking.

I said "Not sure if Serious" for a reason, man.

Also, bolding your text does not make your point more understandable. It's just condescending and mildly insulting.

Re the top 10 list: http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/05/20/graded-the-worst-10.html

"Really? No Atari 5200 or 3DO or Pippin, but you have the Intellivision and Neo-Geo?"

The 3DO is a flawed but decent (not bad, not great, not good, decent) console that gets a bad rep due to people being burned by its launch price (understandable) and retro gaems kiddies who gets their knowledge from IGN retro and AVGN. Though including the Neo Geo is amazingly stupid.

I'm peeved most of these lists completely miss out on the LaserActive. It's one of the most amazingly retarded system in its pricing and concept, and its library is ripe for popular mockery (most of it is FMV games, though admitelly some of them still look stunning, if nothing else), yet writers ignore it in favor of throting out the same tired bullshit about the Jaguar and 3DO, or including a popular current-gen console for cheap hits. Though I really shouldn't be expecting too much from this kind of cheap hit grab.

(also, I'll just leave this here).

> He was being rather generous I wouldn't call the Wii a gaming console at all

Tnu's right; it's a stream of jarate.

As for the actual article:

> I stated that the Wii was nothing more than a GameCube with a Power
Glove-esque controller

And the GameCube was a pretty damn awesome console.  Your point is therefore invalid.

> and after looking at the hardware, I’m not
retracting my statement

Because the hardware unquestionably definitively and definitely defines the quality of games on that console.

glennmagusharvey

Here's how the GameCube is an awesome console.

I can drop the thing from a three-story balcony, have my first-floor neighbor pick it up, then have two free hands to each carry a cooler of beer while he puts Tales of Symphonia into it and loads it up.

nohaynicklibre

And you know, it has cool games

CaptainFargle

Nintendo always makes ridiculously tough hardware. Every time they bring out something new I always find myself impressed by how durable it is. 

Chagen

I need to get my old gamecube and test out those supposed durability legends.

Though the fact that my DS survived being torn nearly in half probably proves them already.

MadassAlex

$10 says Nintendo will contribute to future efforts in power armour design. 

MillerCross

I tell you, man, Nintendium will bring a revolution to Modern Warfare.

oh come on juan

come on

ClockworkUniverse

Ah, Gamecube durability. Got a great story about that.

My friend's Gamecube stopped working (apparently he scratched the lens) so we decided to take it apart. But we didn't have the right screwdriver.

Long story short, we had to throw it from a height of fifty feet onto concrete twice to make a small crack we could wedge a screwdriver into to pull the case off.

Chagen

I remember that from a TvTropes IJAM thread.

MillerCross

^^^ I couldn't resist it, man. It was there.

CaptainFargle

@INUH: You know you can get those screwdrivers on eBay for a buck right?

MillerCross

Yes, but did he have the money? Or the time? Besides, throwing a gamecube is far more fun and funny.

ClockworkUniverse

We were kids. We didn't know where to get them or what kind to get.

Also, what Juan said. It was pretty awesome.

Stormtroper

Should've used more Nintendium on the N64's controller sticks.

Tnu1138

ugh yes those damn joysticks ESPECIALLY on the third party pieces of shit.

nohaynicklibre

Well, third party manufacturers don't have access to Nintendium
