Nintendo Wii is the most retarded thing I've ever seen.
 

It just is. Who the hell wants to jump around like a spastic monkey when playing their video games? I just don't get it. You've all been brainwashed by their marketing campaign.

And yes - I mean it is the absolute retardedest thing on the planet.

What do you all love so much :stop about it?! :stop

it's different, and refreshing

Iam guessing the 10 to 15 year olds it was designed for.:thumbsup

Everyone goes out in a brainless mad rush to get these things, but for what? So you can be satisfied that you're 'normal' because it's 'normal' to rush out and buy this crap? WTF ?!?!

Adult games for the Wii - no chance of that happening in USA. Maybe some fucked up manga games with those naked schoolgirls might pop up though.

The Wii is great fun to play.

I was as skeptical as you about the new control system until my 9-5 got one for the games room and I had a chance to try it out.

It's very effective and I like to move around when I'm playing the games. While no one could accuse it of being exercise, it's better than sitting there like a blob!

A piece of wood, a ping pong ball, a wall - There - you can move around, play some game, improve your hand-eye coordination, and learn something about physics. Total cost - $0.03.

If you dont want to jump around like a spastic monkey then get a normal controller for it

wii is the shit...its just more interactive

game consoles in general are a waste of time and money in my opinion.

Recognize this guy?

best system ever. but only when you play with a bunch of people

it's nice to have one of the system with the capabilities of the wii.. why not? where's the harm sheesh

haha, I thought the same thing. I think for certain games it might be fun. But overall I have zero interest

Ok... enjoy playing your Xbox or PS2 ... which incidentally use a joypad, which was incidentally invented by Nintendo back in the 80's .... (they still hold the cross D-pad patent) ....

Nintendo are innovators. They innovate more than anyone else ... and everyone else COPY Nintendo. Hell, the PS2 pad is just an altered SNES pad design. And that's a fact.

One last thing ...

Retarded means to hinder.... since the Wii control system offers far more flexibility than ANY other control system... I think you'll find that your statement is possibly closer to retarded than the Wii controller :)

OUCH... that's one of the common narrow minded views about Nintendo systems that makes me chuckle every time man ... ;)

i still want and need to get one

Yeh, I mean who wants to have fun anyway?

Meaning and definition are not the same thing. :disgust

Sure, Nintendo is making innovations, still, but that doesn't mean that they're any good. If they came out with a controller shaped like a basket ball which people could throw around their rooms to control a little image of a basketball on their TV - everyone would rush to buy it. But they'd only do it because everyone is doing it - not because it's an 'innovation'...

At least it gets those stupid video game player fucks up off of their lazy childish asses.. that and it is the first system of its kind, the first is never right, it is the first.. see. That's why you don't buy the first year of a redesigned automobile. Same principle.

It feels good when I shove it up my ass

There's one in every thread...

It's different, plus you get to be active. Parents can somewhat justify buying a gaming system

bullshit, that's what I thought when seeing the commercial for the wii on TV :)
they're playing some sort of tennis, bowling and golf with that remote?
I'm pretty sure the accuracy of that thing is a complete joke (heavily adjusted by the game itself) ...

oh well, I haven't touched a game console since the Sega Mega Drive I got when I was like 12 :)

i might pay to see a video of this guy reply to this thread :)

Guess you have never heard of the game DDR (Dance Dance Revolution)... probably one of the most popular video games there is. Very popular with Asians I might add.

Innovative but looks like something that could get boring fast

I hate that game.

The mat doesn't fit up my ass.

well its a total marketing ploy that they release a new one every few years and double the price but i just could never get into video games much. i had fun on the commodore 64, the amiga and even nintendo when i was younger but these days after a couple hours i just can't enjoy it any more.

:uhoh:uhoh:uhoh:uhoh:uhoh:uhoh

Creating this kind of hype is dangerous to some people's health. Where do all these 30 year old teenagers come from?

Erm...

funny... the Wii is cheap as fuck! So no... you're wrong.

The PS3 and Xbox360 are EXACTLY the same as the previous incarnations except they're more powerful ...

That's what you're paying for this time around.

Wii is different. Better. Worth £169. Easily.

Once the novelty of the controler wears off, people will not only realize they've discovered a whole new catagory of repetative stress disorders, but bought a mediocre platform as well.

Why mediocre?

Explain your reasons.

I was also skeptical, at best.

However, we got one for the break room.. And it's actually pretty damned fun. Wii sports is played nearly 24x7 by at least 2 people all the time now, it seems.

The best is tennis - we have rankings, matches, etc. Even the 40 year old secretary who's never touched a game system in her life picked up playing tennis on it within a couple minutes. You just.... pretend you're playing tennis?

It's definitely not a replacement for a normal game system - but I generally don't find consoles very interesting anyways. It's a "social" based machine that is great for folks that either don't tend to socialize much anyways, or don't do the whole bar/going out/etc. scene. Plenty of friends would just kick it at their house with their girlfriends, and everyone would get in on a mario party competition - including the girls. Same idea goes here, just extended and the barrier of entry lowered.

Whether it works out or not longterm is yet to be seen.

Personally, I think Nintendo has set a great new standard with their revolutionary motion censored remote.

looks fun to me

nintendo wii is for retarded dudes...u will enjoy more getting a F machine...

orly? they have that?

you are boring ;-)

No.. really, it is loads of fun.. it's diffirent and i have been waiting for a console like this since the Dreamcast.. Samba de Amigo!

I am more bored on my 360 to be honnest..

Wii slammin' + nerdy adult webmasters = great sigbaito!!!11

its a step ahead to more interactive games. I was never big fun of nintendo,but i give them props for this. Marketing ploy? Well isn't it everything in our days? ;=)

personally, i think the wii is a great new gaming console...it's innovative, and it will at least make fat american kids get a bit more exercise when they play wii boxing...i mean i'm in somewhat good shape, and even i get a bit out of breath when trying to knock someone out...yes, it may look retarded, but don't knock it until you try it, you might be surprised

looks gay, but at the same time looks pretty cool

I think it's neat. Does look a little odd from the commercials but it's more interactive and gets us off our asses instead of just our thumbs getting a workout. I'm going to buy one. Now I just gotta find the time to play it. LOLOL :1orglaugh

That's it! And it's really really fun in a party, trust me!
