Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



I admit, I was completely wrong about the Wii. All those jokes about it being two GameCubes taped together was totally way off. The Wii is next gen and it can produce next-gen graphics and situations. I fully admit that I have now been put in my place and I shall dine on crow tonight. Watch this video taken from Super Paper Mario that has finally forced me to shut up about the Wii being inferior.

Thank you Epileptic Gaming for setting me straight.

Are you kidding? Odin Sphere looks like piss. Where's the 3D graphics? Where's the brown-and-gray color palette and FPS-sensibilities? Where, I ask, are the invading insectoid aliens?

And what the fuck do you mean when you say I wrote the Odin Sphere post?

Fuck that Sharp, its like if you are fat or a jew you can make fat and jew jokes all day long and it is cool. Summa is slow, underpowered and his graphical capabilities rival that of the Wii so it is cool.

Vote Summa in '09 !!!!!!

I could bust out a companion video with footage of EDF2017, Summa. I pissed blood over how buggy and laggy the game ran on the later levels. And with hundreds of enemies on screen too.

Lets remember, EDF2017 is a budget title. And a damn fine one at that. EDF! EDF! EDF!

Dude, EDF2017 is actually pretty cool. And yeah, there is slowdown. Maybe if it were on the PS3 there wouldn't be any. Hmmmm...

Speaking of Port'O Potties, there's a company here that rents em out to construction sites (I work at a refinery that frequently makes use of them for projects) whose slogan on all their business cards/calendars/stationary etc... is "We're #1 in the #2 business!".

Out of context, sure... but when are skid-o-cans not funny?

This video wasn't really funny. If this is the kind of stuff I'm missing from not checking out Epileptic Gaming, then I'm not missing much after all.

I still dont see any decent 360 games on the near horizon. Ive played all the generic FPS'. Crackdown got boring fast and has been collecting dust for near 2 weeks now. Waiting for Alan Wake and assassins creed to come along. So im actually thinking of buying a Wii Just for zelda and paper mario. Since all the ps3 titles for the forseeable future are dogshit ports or crap at silly prices.

@Summa:
As they should, cuz the port apparently is in a long line of ported 360 games that suck compared to the orginal 360 version. But it's all good, cuz me thinks EDF, while fun, would be buggy no matter system its on. Budget titles FTW

Super Paper Mario is fun and all but you got to think it's Nintendo, "The Gameplay is Better then Graphics" company.

As a gamer, I'm easily satisfied. I love the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo and I'm totally okay with buying it again for the improved awesomeness. I like Guitar Hero II, but the song packs aren't important enough to me that I feel insulted by their prices. I still play Crackdown on a regular basis, and I've found almost every agility orb. I loves me some Gears of War, and I sure as hell adore the Halo series. I even liked RE4 enough to pre-order the Wii version. I like a lot of games.

And then I come here, where everybody seems to want to pick a side. 360 fans may never play Shadow of the Colossus. PS3 owners disappointed by Genji 2 will probably never realize how good the first one on PS2 was, and they sure as hell missed out on Lost Planet (which I also liked. Fing sue me). Wii fans hate everybody else for lording next-gen over them, and will probably never experience Mass Effect, Too Human, or BioShock (at least one of which has to be awesome).

And then I wonder if I'm naive. Maybe everyone else's tastes are too sophisticated for me to understand. Maybe I'm just a damn fool who only manages to appear intelligent due to an articulate vocabulary. Is that it?

HA! I doubt it. You're all a pack of Philistines.

Christ, that was stupid. I don't even like the Wii, but that was the biggest waste of time all day. Are you like, trying to get fired from here, too? Some game of how many blogs can kick you out?

Cause really...this was shit.

Um, has anyone seen the latest Lair trailer, or played Resistance: Fall of Man? Not only are there hundreds of enemies on screen at once at certain parts, but the landscapes are 3D, the scenery is clear to the horizon, and the camera moves rather quickly. And those games only utilize about 50% of the PS3's total capability. Don't tell me the Wii is a powerful system when your hundreds of enemies are stuck in a 2D plane and only move minimally.

Shit... I actually thought Summa was serious until I watched the video.

Ya know... there's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

@ LordRegulus

"Wii fans hate everybody else for lording next-gen over them" Are you crazy? I haven't knocked next-gen one bit. I'm a proud owner of Xbox 360 and do appreciate the next-gen graphics. My problem with idiotic videos like this one is that it assumes that people who own the wii consider it next-gen and expect it to compete with 360/ps3 in the graphics department. I am fully aware that there is no way in hell it can stand up to those systems, but it has games that are fun.

Say what you want about the future, but the fact is that right now there is still incredible demand for the Wii, it has a small variety of some very fun games, and it has more buzz than both the 360 and ps3 combined. We know what type of games to expect from the 360 and ps3, but the possibilities for the wiimote are endless.

@QuivX:
If you're not being sarcastic(cannot tell), let me explain something to you....The video and Summa were being sarcasting and bashing the Wii. I know sarcasm can be hard to pick up on the innernets, but come on, this one is clearly obvious!! (unless you were being sarcastic too, then i fail.)
Azrael's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/04/2007 15:23

Er... the video is supposed to be a Joke? no one is impressed at that, because those are not even "enemies" they are moving sprites in the backgrounds. Also they are 2d images in a loop.

I cant believe you guys didnt notice that awful looking spiderman 3 shot.

Wow, there are a lot of people that got really offended by this post. Summa, mission accomplished, you get more of a reaction out of trolls than like 99% gaming bloggers. And the fact that people posting comments on a blog are asking for their 30 seconds back seems slightly hypocritical to me... the other thing that bugs me is that the amount of possible creativity with a wiimote really isn't that much more than any of the systems. Innovation is innovation whether it includes motion sensing or not. Let's hope we can get more original concepts and not just new ways to play old ones.

man cant believe how people gettin upset about wii-bashing. lol, i mean, we can make fun of 360, ps3, PC, but nooo.. not the Wii... is there something sacred about it that idk?
Tapen's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/04/2007 16:00

Upset about wii-bashing? Hardly...It deserves the criticism for the current lack of titles, questionable call on lack of processing power. I'm annoyed a site that I consider my #1 choice for info on games continues to embrace these pointless posts, especially when it's just another advertisement for EG. If you want to be funny, post some more game jew videos.
