Wii beats Xbox 360, Ps3 and everything hands down.
It's unique, the style of playing it has got to be the best way I've ever played a game.
Favourite game has got to be Sonic and the secret rings, followed by Harry Potter 5 ;p

Yeah... I know. But I thought using the wiimote as a wand would warrant a rent. Unfortunately it did not.
Plus that game had so many bugs...

You can almost get that experience with the upcoming game NITROBIKE!

I agree Wee is quite good it may be better than X Box 360 but not PS3. Wii mostly gets games for children. Wii will never have MGS or GTA. The best game Wii is going to have is Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. ANyway do you even have a PS3?
I've got a 360, I've tried wii and I was amazed. But I still like my 360. And there along the same lines.

***, people can **** off the wii all they want but when people start going on about 'Kids games' it really REALLY annoys me. PS3 and 360 get 18 rated games yes? 'Omggzzz 18 itz da lush cuz it makez me feel real mature!!!!11!!!111!!!'. So what wii gets fewer high certificate etc [although it gets its fare share, resi evil 4, the godfather, scarface, red steel, manhunt 2 etc]. The certificate should NOT matter its the quality of the games also please with your beloved ps3 tell me one good game, just one thats all.

Mario games are barely an 18, the highest rating for one of his games is 7+, yet he sells millions, and he's the only reason I'll be buying a Wii. Why? Cos he's just fun =]
and a 1 fun PS3 game... umm.. LittleBigPlanet, Warhawk, Motorstorm, Stranglehold...

Please read what 06 said to get some sense into your head. Why the hell would Nintendo make a console for all of the family if it was for children? :rolleyes: I hate it when people associate Nintendo with kids. Sorry but people like you are morons, you've probably never even sat down and played a few Nintendo games. Just because they're actually FUN doesn't mean they're for kids. Also, the Mario series are the best selling games EVER and all ages buy it. It's fun for EVERYONE.

The wii wont have GTA4, and the Xbox 360 may not be capable for it either, so doesn't the PS3 usually have more gaming type choice?

You're basically saying GTA4 has everything? I'd say the PS3 has the less gaming type choice. The Wii has the most since it's designed for the whole family.

I didn't once say Children only play it, i've played mario cart before and its no that bad, but games like mario cart are made like children but lots of people play it. But teenagers probably prefer to play games like GTA and MGS and Pro Evolution.
And i said Wii MOSTLY makes games for children not all of there games are for children. Zelda isn't for little children.
And the Mario Series are probably the best selling games ever because people at all ages can play it but with GTA you have to be 18+ to play it. If games like GTA and MGS were 3+ they would sell ALOT more

Mario Kart are made like children? Come again? If you mean 'Mario Kart is made for children' then you couldn't be more wrong.
Nintendo don't mostly make games for children. Need I say it again? The Wii is for the whole family, they make games for everyone.
Also, I'm a teenager and I would not prefer to play games like GTA, MGS and Pro Evo at all. Just because someone is a teenager, doesn't mean the have to like a certain genre of games. Each person has their own interests. I know loads of other teenagers would would rather play Mario over GTA.

Also you cant play about near windows otherwise everyone thinks your a complete idiot waving about infront of T.V :)

When I was younger I used to play DOOM, Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem 3D. Now that I'm older, I prefer games with more depth than just the image, and gameplay plays a major factor. A lot of impressionable kids love mature games because of the theme alone and that's fine. But I'd suggest a lot more children play mature games than what some are led to believe, so a game marketed for children doesn't always hit its primary market.
Wii's games aren't aimed at children, I think the cartoonish nature adds to the atmopshere they're trying to generate. For me, it's the substance of the game that really matters, the rating means very little.

There you go again, associating the Wii with children. Oh no, the Wii has GTA. I can't like it anymore! As if... Put some thought into your posts atleast. Also, do you know 'most teenagers'? I think not. Just as much teenagers would rather play Mario than GTA as those who would rather play GTA than Mario. :rolleyes: Two people in this thread have already stated they would rather play Mario over GTA. The only Nintendo game you said you've played is Mario Kart and that isnt even on the Wii yet. So have you actually played a Wii? Do you know people with Wii's? Have you conducted a questionnaire asking what ages play the Wii? Because everyone plays the Wii, not just kids!

From what Pruddy has said ihave got the impession he thinks 3+ means 3years play that game 7+ thats for 7 year olds 18+ for 18year olds etc.
Anyone can play the games there is just the simple fact of purchusing the game.
i would play MKDS over GTA anyday I am a teenager and prefer nintendo to sony.
The Wii imo is the best consle we have atm and the sales figures stand by me on this.
Just because a game is 18 doesnt mean it is a great game, this just means it most likly has violence launage drugs sexual content etc. which do not make all games great. The Wii is not just for little children it is for all ages as is PS3 and xbox360, if the Wii was only for "little children" then it would have low sales figures similar to PS3 and not the high figures it has now. You can have your opinion of Wii is best Ps3 is best Xbox360 is best but if you are going too at least get facts straight for your argument =]

Thats true they're just ruining there lives, they smoke at young age then when they're older they get no job and when they want to stop smoking and start a whole new life they can't because its too late so i think just don't do it at young age because when you're older you'll have more sense and know not to do it. What goes around comes around i guess.
Also it depends who you hang around with all because of peer pressure. Say your friends take drugs and one night to went to a club and all of your drug taking friends were there and they here, have some weed. You want to refuse but there your mates and you don't wanna embarrass yourself and get left out

I'd pick Mario over killing someone anyday.
Trauma Centre owns btw.
I can thinking of 10 games off the top of my head that a brilliant
Metroid Prime 3
Legend Of Zelda
Trauma Centre
Excite Truck
Eledee's
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy
Project H.A.M.M.E.R
Drawn To Life
Mario Strikers Charged
I forgot, Manhunt 2 was on all 3 platforms but mkay it was to harsh for bad boi's who own a ps3 to play it so it was banned

Do you need anymore, there's Resident Evil 4 & Umbrella Chronicles.
Mario Kart and a Killing game are two seperate things, I'd rather play Mario kart than PGR or Gran Turismo.
I'd rather play Metroid Prime 3 than Halo 3 or HAZE.
This is exactly what I mean, peer pressure on teenagers is causing them to play video games which could affect there life.

Thats true they're just ruining there lives, they smoke at young age then when they're older they get no job and when they want to stop smoking and start a whole new life they can't because its too late so i think just don't do it at young age because when you're older you'll have more sense and know not to do it. What goes around comes around i guess.
Also it depends who you hang around with all because of peer pressure. Say your friends take drugs and one night to went to a club and all of your drug taking friends were there and they here, have some weed. You want to refuse but there your mates and you don't wanna embarrass yourself and get left out
Can't be more right. :P

But I think killing people over and over would get boring faster than racing people. You should try another mario game, like Super Mario 64 or Super Smash Bros. Melee. :)

- Mario Galaxy
- Mario Kart Wii
- Super Smash Bros Brawl

Can you statistically prove "mostly" children play it?
You know, I can tolerate almost any sort of criticism, I'm regularly critical of Nintendo myself. But the whole "for children" issue is unfounded and it's becoming far beyond a joke in my opinion.
According to market research company Enterbrain, Nintendo sold 245,653 Wiis in Japan in August, while Sony sold 81,541 PS3s, and Microsoft, well, it just turned up (actually, it sold 11,288 Xbox 360s).
This means that in total Nintendo has now sold 3.4 million Wiis in Japan, while Sony has sold 1.1 million PS3s, and Microsoft should be congratulated for putting in a good effort and trying really hard (it has sold 442,000 Xbox 360s to date).
Meanwhile in the UK, the Wii became the fastest selling console of all time, with Nintendo selling 1 million units in the 38 weeks since launch.
And in the US, despite Sony Computer Entertainment America's claims in early August that sales of the PS3 were surging, the PS3 was still outsold by Wii by almost three to one
Nintendo is banking on continued success, boldly predicting that it will ship 16.5 million Wiis by the end of March 2008. It originally expected to sell 14 million Wiis. Despite being released a year after the Xbox 360, the Wii is poised to overtake sales of the Xbox 360 on a global basis.

This is jsut sales figures and doesnt prove who plays it whether it be children teenagers adults or pensioners but it does give an impression of the Wii being very popular and cant just be with children and a few older poeple wanting to play Zelda. Any consle is for all ages. There is no proof that children jsut play the wii and i pretty mcuh doubt it. i would think for any of the main 3 consles all ages can and proberly do play them.
It does not matter of age but of peoples intrests, of whether they like racing, fighting, RPG, shooting, Adventure, Puzzle etc. and all 3 of the consles vary in these fields making them all suitable for all ages. =]

Dude, give up. First you say 'most teenagers would rather play GTA' now you're saying 'mostly children play Mario Kart'. These are not facts, they are more like your opinions. You don't know 'most teenagers' or 'most children'. You can't possibly prove that what you say is ture. Also, read this thread again. You'll see that mostly everyone loves Mario Kart and they're not children. :rolleyes:
DId i not say that Mario Kart is made for children, but everyone can play it..
Hang on... A minute ago you were saying mostly children play Mario Kart, now you're saying everyone plays it. Make up your mind.

Proof? Because I highly doubt that is true. Wii was sold out EVERYWHERE when it came out in the UK and is still hard to get hold of. PS3 is always in stock and not selling much at all.
Nintendo sold 245,653 Wiis in Japan in August, while Sony sold 81,541 PS3s, and Microsoft, well, it just turned up (actually, it sold 11,288 Xbox 360s).
note the word in August
Meanwhile in the UK, the Wii became the fastest selling console of all time, with Nintendo selling 1 million units in the 38 weeks since launch.
Meaning the Wii has sold a large amount in its first 38weeks more than the xbox 360 or PS3 or any consle in general, UK sales figures anyway.
The Wii was released in North America - November 19, 2006
The PS3 was released in North America - 17 November 2006
The Wii was released in Japan - December 2, 2006
The PS3 was released in Japan - 11 November 2006
The Wii was released in the UK - December 8, 2006
The PS3 was released in UK - March 23, 2007.

Neversoft basically sums up everything I wanted to say.
To get back on topic, I think the Wii can be either really good or really bad. It all depends on game selection. On one hand there's the half-assed ports with rushed controls, movies being recreated as games with awful controls and so on. Then there's games that use the controls perfectly and show Wii's true potential. I think Mario Galaxy will be the defining game of Wii's generation and will change some people's perspectives.

Fact be fact, teenagers are probably more effected by GTA by children.
I mean a child can't get their hands on a gun, unless of course their parents own it, but a 15 year old can. GTA effects teenagers just as much, if not MORE, than children.
And I would much rather play Sonic, Mario, Zelda etc
than any adult game. Their plots bore me, and isn't the reason I game. It's to get AWAY from reality and do impossible things. Shooting someone isn't my idea of impossibility.

Nah mate, most teenagers would rather play GTA and MGS then mario kart.
that's the biggest load of crap i've ever heard.
i'd much rather play mario games than GTA, they have so many different gaming styles in them, and are always different.
And as i said if MGS and GTA were 3+ they'd probably sell more than Mario Kart. And the Nintendo Wii is made for the whole family, but little children mostly play it becasue of the games. If GTA was on Wii little children wouldn't like Wii has much.
not true,
my boyfriend is 18, he could buy those games if he wanted, but i know for a fact he'd rather buy a mario/nintendo game.
also, i've met quite a few people who don't like GTA, but i have never acctually met someone who doesn't like ATLEAST one mario game.

What I mean is... I don't see how that stops you from enjoying a shooter game. Most shooter games aren't realistic at all, anyways. And you can't go back to WWII if you want to.
