Why the hell would any gamer get excited to play that pathetic Wario game they describe?
Have you ever played WarioWare ? It's about as close to pure gaming joy as you can get. I'd take it over Generic EA Shoter #47 anyday.

I'd hardly define idiotic childish tasks as "pure gaming joy". I'm not 10 years old anymore. Probably one of the reasons why Nintendo no longer appeals to me as it once did.

Have you played it ? If you have, then you have every right to say you don't like it, but if you haven't, you're nothing more then a wanker.

Bullfuckingshit. I don't need to play a game to say I don't want to play a game where I have to balance a broom on my hand anymore than I don't want to play Gran Turismo (or any other racing game, ever, for that matter- with the exception of Carmageddom). I've played neither. I know what I like.

When you play with an old-style controller, you look like a loser, a blank-eyed joystick fondler. But when you're jumping around and shaking your hulamaker, everybody's having a good time.
You know, having to choose between a guy playing with a remote controller, and a guy pretending to dance the hula/playing tennis/whatever in front of his TV I wouldn't call the first one a loser.

Are you going to troll every topic that the Revo/Wii comes up in in G&C now?

You hate Nintendo. We all get it. Everyone who browses this forum probably gets it.

You think a slack-jawed, twitching vegetable is less of a loser than someone having a good time?

Shut the fuck up, moron. I don't need to restrict my criticism of the Wii anymore than I'd be justified to demand that people stop posting about the Wii because "you love Nintendo, we all get it."

I fail to see exactly what value "Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" brings to this topic. Perhaps if you had some MATERIAL criticism of the system, it wouldn't be quasi-trolling.

You're a fucking idiot. My response to Nitram was a joking rejoinder, nothing more. My substantive criticism is on page one. Only the sensitive holy-Nintendo fanboys would take my short post as being anything other than that.

Frankly that Wii WarioWare game would make a perfect party game, which I bet is the partial intention.

Most of the games, like the WiiSports seem to be built to be party games.

Concerning Wii Sports, when I kept seeing clips of that in the first montage Wii video, I had some concern about the graphics. But after seeing the game identified in either the second video or on one of Nintendo's websites, I'm relieved that those were all part of the same game.

When I first saw the various baseball, tennis, and golf clips in one of the official Nintendo montage videos that were released yesterday, that show off the games and the Wii Remote operation, I had some concern, because I thought they were each from three different stand-alone titles. I was concerned because I thought for stand-alone titles, the graphics looked somewhat simple.

It was a few hours later, when I saw on Nintendo's website for the Wii console that they were actually all part of the same single title, Wii Sports. Knowing that I was relieved.

Thank you, thats more clear.

So basicly all those awesome party games are one. Hmn... seems that you could already create a nice Wii starter pack from the titles announced so far.

Zelda, WarioWare,Wii Sports, possibly Sonic or Mario. Seems to me like a lineup for alot of fun.

I find the frequent inclusion of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to be a little odd and ironic, because even though it's compatable with the Wii and has customised Wii Remote operation, it's still a GameCube title. ;)

True, I could instead put Metroid Prime 3, or Red Steel, infact, I'm sure either of those would work fine.
I was just trying to look at what we know already and put together some list of games that everyone should have for the Wiimoto.

I don't know, maybe if you had something of substance to say I could be bothered to care what you think. Judging by past precedent, you just drop in, say something trollish about Nintendo, then either take off or stick your fingers in your ears and go 'LALALA I CANNOT HEARZ j00!11'

It's rather tiresome, so I don't exactly think it's unreasonable to ask that you cut the crap. Hell, even ASS has the good sense not to wait for anime topics to come up so they can hop in and yell 'LOL ANIEM SUKS'.

Your "substantive criticism" consists of saying that you don't like WarioWare, and that you can't understand why any gamers would. Thus, you show a singular lack of knowledge with regard to gamers' tastes (judging by the popularity of the DS version of WarioWare); how the hell is that "substantive criticism"?
