And the hacking begins....

It would be funny as hell if someone gets an emulator running all the old NES games on it before Nintendo releases them on the Virtual Console. You could have 1 2GB card with pretty much everything for the NES/SNES/Sega/TG16 on it.

OMG! After spending 15 minutes trying to catch a damn fish, I caught one, and then it said press A to let it go or press + to see it in your Collection. I pressed +, and it was 10 lbs, yay, nice fish. THE DAMN CAT STILL DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. It follows me around when I have the fishing pole out but it WON'T go inside. Fvcking cat.

lol, it didn't take me and my brother but maybe 1-2 minutes, 2 tries, to catch 2 fish, and all we did was let it go and it flopped on the ground and the cat ran away with it :)

i havent bought a video game system since ps1, but im pretty psyched about getting this system. Im pretty annoyed with the way sony has released ps3, and there are bound to be problems. Any upfront issues being reported with the Wii?

Go away, nobody likes you.

I really, really, don't want to get in it with you again, guy. But here's my question, why exactly don't YOU like me? You made not a single valid argument in your previous posts, and of course, resorted to name calling to get your jollies. (Why is beyond me)


Now here you are saying nobody likes me, but then again, nobody knows me. I'll ask again in case you're too dense to figure it out:

Why don't YOU like me?

I didn't respond to your last post in this thread (before tonight), because you stopped posting. But because you're back, I'll go ahead and respond.

Ugh, this system is so Wii-tarded I don't know where to start.

How long do you guys (or gals) expect this system to retain its fun factor? I mean, sure right out the box it's probably fun, but how long will it take before you tire of making goofy hand gestures to make Mr. Link swing a sword?

I'm no fanboy whatsoever, but if I'm to get a system, it will be the PS3. It offers much more for the price than the Wii IMO. (Blu-ray/Visual)

Time will take its toll, however. If Nintendo proves it can make a product designed for longevity and keep the interest of the masses captured, than I will buy one. Until then, Sony's PS3 will remain #1 on my "to buy" list.

-MYF

You're a fanboy, and you're posting in the wrong thread. There's a stickied thread just for you.


I'm a fanboy? Please feel free to bold exactly what in my statement makes me a fanboy.

Using your logic, I will go ahead and declare that you're the fanboy because I entered this thread and merely gave my opinion.

-MYF

I called MYSELF a fanboy in this thread, dumbass.

I called YOU a fanboy because you're bashing a system you've never played.

You're right though, the PS3 offers more for the price than the Wii - not surprising, because Nintendo is making a profit on the Wii while Sony is taking a ~$300 loss on each PS3 they sell. Thing is, I don't want to spend $600 on a video game system. It doesn't matter if it's a good deal for what I'd pay, it's more than I want to pay. Especially since all that extra money is just buying me nicer graphics and a disc format that Sony is trying to force on the market. To that I and many, many other people say "meh."

I'll buy a PS3 though - eventually. Just like I bought a PS2. And I'll buy an Xbox 360, just like I bought an Xbox. But the PS3 isn't happening until they cut the price in half.

Why are you calling me a dumbass again? I declared you a fanboy and I was right, if anything I deserve a f*cking cookie.

I'm bashing the Wii? How so? Did you not read the last sentence of my post?

-MYF

Right here is a good evidence that you're a dumbass:
"Did you not read the last sentence of my post?" (in defense of being accused of bashing the Wii)

The last senetnce of the post in question:
"Until then, Sony's PS3 will remain #1 on my "to buy" list."

:confused:

Unless you meant the second to last sentence:
"If Nintendo proves it can make a product designed for longevity and keep the interest of the masses captured, than I will buy one."

Quite the ringing endorsement. After a post full of Wii-bashing. You can't even admit what you're clearly doing!



You see, nobody really cares if you don't like the Wii. I'm sure all the kids in your college dorm are going on and on about the PS3, and they're all saying that the Wii is for kids. Good for them. They're missing out. But you come in here amongst hundreds of posts by people who own the system and think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and you criticize it even though you've never played it? :confused:

Why don't I like you? You come here and copy the username of a popular member, meaning you're quite possibly a previously banned member, and then you make flamebaiting posts. So far I haven't seen any half decent posts from you. Put that partial college education to work!

Yeah I'll give you the first part, I meant last paragraph, obviously not last sentence.

I was not bashing the Wii in my OP, the "Wii-tarded" was a joke (You guys make jokes here right?). In my OP I was just simply asking questions that needed to be asked, were they not serious questions that could arise after the "wow" factor of the Wii is over?

My OP was not meant to sound biased, it was just my opinion on the potential problems with the Wii in the future, and like I said before, if Nintendo can keep the interest of the people, I will buy one.

I am new member here and I don't appreciate the name calling, especially if it's uncalled for. Thanks again for the warm welcome. =/
