Best Modern System

Personally, Wii because I care more about quality of gameplay, than graphics.

Re: Best Modern System

I like it mainly for the virtual console games, not really the game games. Although I have grown quite fond of Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

No he doesn't have a point. He's pointing out a flaw and saying it's good. Not surprising but not helpful either.

Obviously I'm voting 360 but the Wii is a close second.

Re: Best Modern System

Wii, by far.

I never liked the PlayStation systems, nor will I ever.

X-Box 360 is bad because its games are really boring.

Re: Best Modern System

See I think Naruto is lame so to me those don't count. Also those million mini game collections aren't that cool either. At least Xbox has thousands of real full length games out and tons of downloadable smaller games.

Sarcasm? I've never cared about graphics myself. As long as I can make everything out, I'm fine. Gameplay has always been the most important attribute to determining if I find a game enjoyable or not.

Welcome to the forums by the way.

Re: Best Modern System

i voted for the wii because i think it is the best modern system. the motion control is brillant and will be the future of gaming. that being said, i still prefer to play my 360, crappy hardware and all.

most of them? you just named 6 games out of over 500ish. granted, there are some really sweet games coming out, but you are going to say that the majority of the games are good, back it up.

Re: Best Modern System

Wii stats after research for a video game speech for school:

The Nintendo Wii was released in 2006. Since then, it has sold 46 million units. Since Nintendo makes $6 from each Wii, Nintendo has made nearly $27 million dollars. Then you add all the games to it.

2007 Statistics: Nintendo made $12 billion, Sony $4 billion, Microsoft $151 million, Sega $7.12.

You played these and liked them? I'm interested in them but I've been burned by Wii games in the past.

I agree with that, besides the vote thing.

Re: Best Modern System

the wii's hackability is great for the reason you can download and upload free games much like the buying games online for 360 and ps3, but there are relitivly few updaes meaning you can keep your pirated hardware and still have it readable, also fyi the main reason why i hate 360 is because what they did to bomberman, also i do't like their games, the only one i liked was kalimari and a few shooter and fighting games(like halo or soul caliber iv), as for ps3 i do enjoy most of its accomodations like good internet browser, playstation network (yet it disables hacking under safe cover, by this i mean the imediate log of saves, but you can still get around this with external saves, something similar to but more powerful than a safe disk and other differing resources), and revolutionary ideas, like little big planet, i do not ike it because of its lack of games all there is is just a few greats or as it seems at the moment for ps3.

just to let you know my favorate game on wii is tenkichi 3, although online lag is mostly horrible, it's really fun, go general blue, tao, and master roshi. (new movie looks like crude)

Re: Best Modern System

I own or have rented all of those. Out of the ones highlighted MadWorld and No More Heroes are my favorites. I own NMH and hope that the upcoming sequel is as good as the first one. I'm waiting for the MW price to drop.

Re: Best Modern System

Sorry Doctor but I can't understand your desire to hack. To me that's a negative thing against the Wii, not very secure. It's also equal to cheating imo. You may not use it to cheat but it's not the way it was intended to be used.

Thanks for the info Tenser. I've really been at a loss for Wii games.

Re: Best Modern System

If were counting downloadable content, Then the Wii for the classics and they're gamecube re-makes.

But without downloadable content the 360 by far, With it's awesome FPS's and Realistic racers, Just what I'm into, Fps's, Realistic racers and of course THE CLASSICS!!!

If were counting how systems function, Wii.

If were counting how systems have done in the past, Ninendo and sega own.

But overall Xbox 360 has the better Here and now games but Wii holds the classics,
I'll give it a tie between 360 and Wii.

Re: Best Modern System

The Wii, by far. The Xbox 360 sucks and the PS3 costs too much.

From the limited amount of games I have played on the Wii (Twilight Princess, Wii Sports, Wii Play, SSBB, Metroid Prime 3, and Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 1), I can say it owns the rest.

Re: Best Modern System

The only wii games I like:

Pikmin
Mario kart
Mario Galaxy
SSBB (The other two were better but I always liked the create a map thing in games )
GHIII
Nhl 2k9
Nitro Bike
Chop til you drop
Animal crossing
Mario party 8


Wii has no games for me, Let's see how TS4 does on it, But I'll probably buy TS4 for the 360
I'm just saying, I'm not into the Genre of games nintendo makes now, Especially the controls.
There is only a few games I have liked the controls for on nintendos 2 here and now systems:

Sim city DS
Pikmin 'New play control.

Nintendo often messes up their controls

Now lets look at microsoft, Sha'll we:

Halo 3
Left 4 Dead
PGR 3
PGR 4
Forza 2
Dead space
Resident Evil 5
B&K
SVR 2007 (only 07)
Assassins creed
Red alert 3
Comand and conquer
Deadrising
The orange box

And many more...

Although 360 has those billions of great games Those classics and nintendos hardware bring it to a tie.

I'm just dissapointed with nintendo.

My nintendo scale of awesomeness 1 being the best:

1. Snes
2. GC
3. Nes
4. N64
5. Gameboy advanced Sp
6. Gameboy Micro
7. Gameboy
8. Gameboy Advanced
9. Regular DS
10. Wii
11. DS L
12. DS i

In my opinion, Sionara Nintendo, You've been great in the past

Re: Best Modern System

I hate these threads.

The Wii is cool, but no for everyone. The 360 has all the games I want and is cool, and is not for everyone, but it is for me. The PS3 is cool, but not for everyone and not for me.
