The handbags came out again this week for another round of attempts to write off the Wii. And once again, substandard horsepower was cited as a large part of the reason why the selling-like-crazy-all-over-the-world console was clearly a bad idea. Unsurprisingly, the quote comes from one of Nintendo's rivals, Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division:
And the rest of the product is actually not a great product--no disrespect, but...the video graphics on it aren't very strong; the box itself is kind of underpowered; it doesn't play DVDs; there are a lot of down-line components [that] aren't actually that interesting.
The challenge they have is that third parties aren't going to make much money on this platform because Nintendo is going to make all that money, and their ability to compete with something like a Halo or produce an experience like Madden on their system is going to be tough. They don't have the graphics horsepower that even Xbox 1 had.
Zzzz, Wha...? Sorry, I drifted off there for a second. It's now around two years since Nintendo happily admitted their (now clearly successful) philosophy for the Wii and its hardware level, and attempts at point-scoring based on what we already knew seem ragingly anachronistic by this point.
But while those comments about DVD playback and not competing with Halo might sound like the words of a man who hasn't heard anything Nintendo have said over the last twenty-four months, the Xbox 1 comparison is interesting given how that machine seems to have become the general point of comparison for the Wii amongst those who care about these things. And it was definitely interesting enough for N'gai Croal at Level Up to have a word with a few developer buddies and try to get the details on exactly what Nintendo's machine can theoretically do.
Talking to technical experts at two third party publishers, Croal got an independent tech evaluation on the Wii, concentrating on how well its graphical prowess compares to the original Xbox, and touching on whether it can compete visually with the 360 and PS3. The answer? A resounding "Weeeeeeeeeell ...".
It seems that overall, while the Wii obviously isn't going to be running Gran Turismo HD any time soon, some of its on-paper limitations aren't quite as detrimental as Bach would think. The Wii's GPU does indeed lack the programable vertex and pixel shaders of the Xbox, but extra memory means that in the much-quoted "Gamecube 1.5" description, that .5 does actually matter.
The Wii has an improved memory clock speed, 243 Mhtz as opposed to the Gamecube's 162, helping the boost to 420p, and the machine's enhanced memory size makes image effects such as anti-aliasing and motion blur much more comfortable to throw around. Add improved graphics chip performance and you've definitely got a machine improved over its predecessor, albeit not a graphics devouring beast of a thing.
One last unconfirmed but potentially eyebrow raising point is the possibility that the Wii has double the number of texture environment stages (TEVs) as the Gamecube. While documentation is conflicting in regards to confirmation, if this is true, the extra TEVs could mean the possibility of easier bump-mapping and environment-mapping on the Wii, albeit with some very creative programing required to avoid bottlenecks.
The article makes an interesting read, also covering how some developers are building tools to easily convert 360 and PS3 textures to the Wii, but really, I can't help wondering when we're all going to stop arguing over this.
To hammer a machine famously launched to compete on its own terms for doing just that seems increasingly like sticking your fingers in your ears and singing loudly given the Wii's current success, and while Nintendo's approach is divisive, it's working whether you buy into what they're selling or not. Admittedly, there's been an argueable case of "could try harder" in regards to the polish of its third-party titles so far, and judging by the looks of Nintendo's upcoming first-party software, the machine is capable of more.
But while I do hope that the next year or so brings us some improvements (I still find it boggling that people seem to so easily forget that the console's only been out for six months), I really wish people would stop complaining about a lack of things that the Wii was never supposed to do, and just give it a chance to do what it was supposed to.

we all knew it'd be underpowered and no one cared until it began outselling everything else on the market. only then do people really start complaining.
i'm a big microsoft fan but seriously... this kinda stuff just makes ms look like morons in hindsight of the "under-powered" system's success.
Nintendo realized it can't compete in the power but it can offer another good strategy.
Personally I own all 3 systems and man i think my Wii that just sits idle most the time isn't anything great at all. But I also think that PS3/360 and the Wii shouldn't be compared against as they are since i think they are in 2 completely different categories.
Amen.
Nice article, houghton.
PAGING MR. ROBERT SUMMA!
Oh noes! what will I does without madden?!?!!!111oneone

The Wii reminds me of that fable, the one where the sun and the wind have a bet with each other regarding which one could get a man to take his coat off first. You know the one? The wind tries its ususal aggressive tactics, whilst the sun simply apllies subtle warmth. The sun wins the bet.
Anyway, at last an article about the Wii which actually understands the Wii.It's borderline facist mentality for people to judge all things in the world by their own self maderules, so the Wii isn't a 360, so what? Does that mean Nintendo fail because they have made a machine which doens't conform to Microsoft design philosophies?
I've also found it baffling to the point of nauseating, that people still to this day, bitch about the Wii for something it is clearly not meant to be, it's even more baffling when you consider that Nintendo themselves have stated their own products technical limitations...I'm just repeating what you said.
Good article, and the best thing about it is that this is not even opinion, these are logical points based on facts.
MS is probably mad because Wii is outselling them as of right now, so they are like "Sales? Who said anything about sales? Wii graphics suck bitches!"
Did you read the article? The developers say that you're wrong. It IS better than the GC, but a lot of what we've gotten for games so far are GC (or other last-gen) ports. And movie games (who the hell buys those, anyway?). If you don't use the functionality that's there, you won't get a better looking result.
Wait until true "Wii" content comes out (sadly, that appears to be September at the earliest, and more likely Holiday season), then decide whether Wii isn't better graphically than GC.
What is wrong with that?
So many people seem to hate on the Wii because they fear that if it succeeds, that graphics wont continue to progress and they wont make Halo games anymore.
Graphics will always progress. We will see a Nintendo system that delivers Pixar aniamtion quality graphics in real time. However, they wont do it until it can be done affordably. Unlike Sony, they aren't trying to force it before it's time.
The PS3 is to me the modern day Neo Geo home console. It's just too expensive. Power does not justify that kind of price tag.
shallow graphics (and I'm not just talking about Spiderman 3)
shallow software (weak list of games with no substantial gameplay)
shallow controls (when I swing my wiimote in Tennis, there is a freakin delay before my mii swings)
Sure, the Wii is doing everything it advertised, but the truth remains that it is a pretty shallow experience.
Everyone is sick of hearing about the power (or lack there of) of the Wii, but it's just going to get worse. Once it penetrates more homes, more people will have the opportunity to be disappointed with it. Yes, I know it also gives people the opportunity to be happy with it, too, but keep reading to find out why I chose the wording I did. There is a very vocal group of people that are really happy with the Wii, but I see more and more people becoming jaded by the system.
I agree with MS on this, actually. It may sound like bitching, or a Chappelle skit, or whatever you think, but it's the truth. I know most people don't have a high def TV, but graphics aren't the only thing that make a system next gen. While the 360 and PS3 are improving gameplay with better AI and more interactive environments, the Wii is improving gameplay by making you waggle.
Hate me. Tell me I'm wrong. Defend the Wii. Agree with me. It doesn't matter: If the Wii offered something more compelling besides waggle, this may not be such a big issue. But, it's not offering anything new outside of waggle. And yes, waggle will eventually fade into familiarity, and what will the Wii have to offer when that time comes? My guess, 1st party games. Where else can you play 1st party Nintendo games? Sounds like the GC to me.
So we've got Wii bashing, so now we've got some anti-Wii bashing for good measure, okidoki just 2 problems.
1.- This site WAS original because it didnt "stroke the Wii" like everyone else. providing a different perspective. Per example I already saw this "note" with almost the same wording and "jokes" in another blog. (is this actually a note anyway?)
2.-Most (all actually) of the comments reggarding the Wii lack of competence were ussually (sadly) right. None of it were blatant lies or exageration. Also (sadly) stronger comments came from third parties. Not the article writers themselves.
Anyway Im missing a point here, the guy is comparing the Wii to an xbox in graphics which is pretty much accurate (any Wii fan must agree), also states "thats not good for a "next gen" console" , correcto mondo too, in fact not even Nintendo has the balls to call the Wii "next gen" instead they called "new gen" , so... basically he's wrong (and ok for ridicule) for being right? he never said the console wasnt pretty popular or that the wiimote was crap, did he?
kthxbye!
Actually, what I fear is that the game industry will get a thought into their head that they can release their old stuff with some "minor" upgrades and a gimmick, err.. "innovation" at a price that is too expensive to justify but is palatable for the average consumer. We've seen it already, Look at all the DS ports for the Wii or the Last gen titles with "New Innovative" control schemas.
Of course this is all conjecture based on my own bias, so you may not agree with me at all. It may turn out that over the course of the 5-7 years this generation lasts that my conjecture will be proven wrong unmistakenbly, but what would be the point of predicting things if you knew the answer beforehand?
Certainly! I mean look at the great comments at the SPIDERMAN 3 STELLAR AMAZING GRAPHICS hey NO ONE is complaining about that!
ROFL! I like that, but as soon as you say "The Ps3 price will change over time, How can the Wii's graphics?" Shit will hit the fan!
Your point being...? GC was a pretty damn good console which had some damn good exclusive games(even if half of them were later ported over to the ps2). It's only major problem was the lack of third party support. Considering how phenomenally well the wii is selling, and by the looks of it will continue to sell, that's unlikely to be a problem that will recur. Pretty much all your arguments could also have been applied to the DS a couple of years back.
I'm not going to tell you you're wrong in calling the wii shallow. That's just your opinion, which you're perfectly entitled to have. I disagree. I have quite a few wii games, and I find them all pretty enjoyable. Believe it or not, the majority of wii owners are with me. True, quite a number of "hardcore gamers" seem to enjoy wii bashing more than they should, but they do not constitute the majority of the people who own a wii. If you want to look at it in an elitist us-versus-them way, you can. What's the point, though? You don't like the wii? Sell it, and buy a couple of 360 games. No reason to rag on the millions of us who actually like theirs.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the Gamecube to death when it first came out. I credit Super Smash Brothers Melee with helping to preserve most of my sanity. But in the here-and-now, Nintendo needs to ditch its frequently arrogant and thick-headed attitude. Yes, they're doing well for now, but I'm skeptical about what will happen in the long term.
Basically what I'm getting at is that this is all time better spent playing those games you bought.
Meh.
Nintendo is arrogant? Thick-headed, yeah. That I can get behind. However, while I've admittedly possibly missed something over the last year or so, arrogance is not something I've ever got the impression of from Nintendo.
Anyway, I gotta agree with the dude who cited the DS as an example of where Nintendo might end up with the Wii down the road. Everyone trotted out much the same shit when that thing hit, and now it's bigger than the Beatles. Who knows what the future will bring?
Case in point - people are still, STILL bitching about the Wii for something it was never, and is never going to be. I have not heard one single decent criticism of the Wii, yes it definitely has faults but no one has mentioned those faults, instead they consistently mention the things it doesn't do which it was never meant to do. Gamers are without doubt the most narrow minded, blinkered group of consumers in the diigital entertainment market.
For those still missing the point, here it is more or less:
The blueprint for a home console doesn't begin or end with a 360/PS3, those consoles have followed the tradition of upgrading hardware to perform a better version of the same thing, this has been the standard way of doing things since the Famicom. To judge everything by this school of thought is not only borderline facist, it's fucking dull. The Wii at the very least represents a departure form this predictable standard formula, this departure is not a weakness, it is a deliberate side step by Nintendo.
If we were to apply the same facist logic but instead use the Wii as the blueprint, then the PS3/360 would also be judged as inferior or failures for not doing what they were not menat to do anyway. See how utterly ridiculous it is?
@Canada - You at least own the box. I think when the big franchise titles hit in the fall, you'll be glad you got your hands on a Wii. (tee hee.)
@The HaterGamut - (aka Aex and Azriel) You don't own a Wii. I know it. And Aex, graphics on a system do get better over time. Those of us that have been with consoles since the begining have seen that EVERY console has had markedly better graphics at the end of it's life. Don't believe me? Go boot up SSX. Not Tricky, not On Tour, The Original SSX. (A PS2 launch title, mind you, and a damned good one.) A good looking game. Now boot up God of War II. *poof* Better graphics?! On the same system?! HuhWHAAAA?!
@Aex (cuz this is ridiculous) "Look at all the DS ports for the Wii"
Like what? Trauma Center? Maybe you didn't mean to use the word "port." Port signifies little change in the game itself, basically modding it to run on other hardware. And as far as I can tell, other than license titles which are equally shitty on all consoles, that's the DS port. I'm sure you'll point it out if I'm wrong.
"or the Last gen titles with "New Innovative" control schemas."
- Totally worked for Zelda. Amazing game. Great story, good puzzles, excellent visuals, lots of fun. You didn't play it, so how could you know?
Go ahead and disagree with me. You'd then have to admit to buying a Wii.
I also fear that sequels and remakes that offer no newness. Re-relases that add nothing to a game series, that milk the series fan base have been a problem ever since Resident Evil: Directors Cut, which came out ten years ago.
Heck, some would say they've been a problem since Mega Man 4 on the NES.
The same is a huge problem in Hollywood right now, where only remakes and sequels make any money.
Personally, I think the Wii's games are less guilty of this sort of creative dead wood than the other guys.
A remake of game with Wii controls and a sequel to that game with improved graphics but same old gameplay are equally guilty of being dead weight in my opinion.
In general, we should not buy a game just because we liked the game in the series that came before it, or because it is a remake with waggle controls. This goes from everything to GTA to Mario to Final Fantasy.
"I really don't like the way you guys review the Wii games. Particularly the graphics area. You guys never fail to mention that the Wii graphics fall short of the PS3/360 games. Well duh! There is noticeable power difference between the consoles and you don't have to continue to compare them, wasting both your valuable time and the time of the reader. It seems as though Wii games continue to get bad scores because you guys can't get over the fact that the graphics on the Wii aren't HD and don't look as good as the 360 or PS3."
To which the guy responded (with some skippage):
"Seriously though, I think people that write in these emails (such as yourself) don't get the message quite right. Yes the visuals are less than 360 and PS3, and yes we comment on them since they are the other two competing systems, but take a look at what else we're constantly comparing the visuals to. In most of our reviews you'll get a mention of PS2, PSP, or GameCube. Now two of those are last-generation systems, and one of them is a current-gen portable. Obviously the Wii - which does have comparable power to Xbox, or around "double a GameCube" - can do better than what we're seeing.
You're seeing poor graphics scores though not because they can't compete with 360/PS3, but because most Wii games are getting trumped by first generation GameCube games.
There's the issue. It isn't that Wii's graphics aren't good enough for us. It's that developers are too lazy to use what they have.
We aren't biased towards visuals. We're biased towards quality."
Now, I will burn in hell for quoting from IGN, but he put it quite nicely.
http://wii.ign.com/mail/2007-05-04.html
You are truly a credit to this site. Thank you.
Nobody cares anymore. Bar a select few zealots we have accepted (where need be) and moved on.
The issue isn't its power. Its the lack of good software on the system.
My apologies if someone has already said this but I'm quite drunk and can't be arsed reading all the comments.
Now, I hate to break up a nice Aex-on-Axrael circle jerk (you too are so cute together) but here goes.
Don't either of you, (or anyone on here for that matter) find it even mildy humorous that Mr. Bach claims that the underpowered Wii can't provide an experience "like Madden" on the 360? I mean am I the only one that notices that Madden on the Wii was the best reviewed version of the game. Or that Madden 06 got worse reviews on the 360 than it did on any other platform? Maybe the 360 can't give an experience like the Wii? I mean, sure this guy may have a point, but Madden is NOT the game to be making it with, Amirite?
@TheStripe
No, I do not own a Wii. In fact, unless I get an impulse during thanksgiving vacation with my family, I doubt I'll buy one until I deam it worthwhile. By DS ports it was a fairly cheap shot I'll admit, but with the Wii lineup having Cooking Mama, Trauma Center, Brain Age, and Nintendogs you can see the point I was attempting to make. While you think the Wii's graphics will get better because in the past all consoles' graphics have achieved higher levels throughout their lifetime, I think they won't get better because they won't have to be. Because Nintendo decided to go with the Wii in its current form, they basically said, graphics don't matter. Their own game showings prove this, and 3rd parties are going to follow suit, I feel. I admit I could be wrong given 5-7 years time, but, again, why make predictions if we know the future? Because I don't have a Wii does not mean I have never touched a Wii. Believe it or not, I'm not the only person enthralled with the Zelda with "Waggle", I know, I know, someone with a different opinion! GASP!
@Tron Knotts
I agree, re-releases are annoying. Even some sequels get tiring, *coughDMCGTAFFRE*, but some are just great GOW2, GH2, SVC2, GT4 etc. etc. I think the Wii will have an abundance, at least in the coming months, because all the developers seem to be hopping on, not to make the next big thing, but to reuse their old ideas with WAGGLE. Hopefully I'll be wrong in this sense and the library will be grand, it just hasn't shown or released anything to curb this doubt, but so far their weak efforts seem to be paying off. Cheap buy in price, lots of hype and no reason to push graphics (an expensive part of the equation).
@subnet6
As Wii-haterish I am, I don't think I've ever taken the stance the Wii is underpowered. If it seemed that way, I must have misspoken. I've always taken the stance that the Wii is on a separate playing field than the X360/PS3. I think it was an incorrect choice and it is overpriced for what it offers. I think Nintendo achieved what they were aiming for in terms of power, and that is fine, I just don't agree it is the right decision, especially at the price they are pawning it off for. I know you disagree, based on the popularity it has currently, but just because something is popular does not necessarily mean it is great *coughpogscough* And I don't think the Wii is great, it is fine that you do though.
What about features? Take away the motion sensor, and the system has practically nothing to show. Why should people have to buy so many controllers and adapters, and cannibalize parts from last-gen systems to play old games? Why is there no online play? Why is there no original downloadable content? If Nintendo is making so much money off the hardware, why are the accessories still so damn expensive? Thirty dollars for a cable?
What about quality? Why are these things overheating if the technology is so conservative? Why is everybody turning a blind eye to this issue? Everyone slams Microsoft for the Red Ring problem, but if a Wii dies, people praise Nintendo for... get this... fixing it under waranty.
There's a lot more to a game console than just graphics, but people rush in to blare that either graphics don't matter, of the graphics aren't really that bad. Do they instead talk positively about the system's strenghts? Rarely, unless it involes a story about how grandma likes to play bowling.
Ive heard hardly anything about the Wii overheating, and the reason why there is so much praise forthem, is that the turn around is so short and a pleasure to use. If you pay thirty dollars for a cable, you need your head checked, shop around!
Really good artice, keep it up :)
You've got some good points but the problem is they are not exclusive to nintendo and in most cases are surpassed by the other two.
"Take away the motion sensor, and the system has practically nothing to show."
Take away the controller on any of these systems and they are little more than paper weights. In fact, you couldn't even use the blu-ray functions on the PS3 or DVD on the 360 without at least a controller of some sort. The controller, whether it uses motion or buttons is THE user interface. It's how we connect to our games. Without a controller, games systems are all meaningless.
"Why should people have to buy so many controllers and adapters"
You don't. The system comes with everything you need to play out of the box. If you want to play 4 player, you have to buy more controllers, just like on any system. And I'm sure you're not going to buy a $400 or $600 system and then bitch that the Wii's controllers cost $10 more. Even so, most multiplayer/party games that you would want 4 controllers for don't even use the nunchuck which makes the controllers cheaper to buy overall.
"and cannibalize parts from last-gen systems to play old games?"
This saves money, something you seem concerned about in your comment about add-ons above. Take your pick, do you prefer affordability or expandability? You're talking out of both sides of you mouth here. Also, the last-gen parts allow 100% back compat, something the 360 can't seem to manage even though its so advanced and expensive. I can't even play hal of my xbox games. As the library grows it's becoming less of a problem but the fact that I like to wait for price drops on games means there's still not a lot on the 360 I'm buying. It would be nice to be able to play my xbox games on it considering what I paid for it. And, It looks like most of the PS3s will be gimped in this regard too. Apparently those "last-gen" parts cost some money or Sony and MS wouldn't have scrapped them to save a buck at the expense of back compat.
"Why is there no online play?" Because Nintendo is slow here. This is your first somewhat legitimate complaint. The games are coming, and soon. There will be online play this summer with games like Strikers and BWii and PBR, with more online capable games being announced all the time. Just yesterday we got word that Sega was producing a shooter that would have online, due out this year.
"Why is there no original downloadable content?"
Again, this is coming. They've been pretty busy with the VC games which have been great and I really appreciate them. Theres more downloadable games on the Wii then there is on either other platform combined. And my belief is, if you haven't played a game, it going to be pretty original when you do. But, I want true original content too. They just announced a remake of Impossible Mission to be coming for download soon. Not quite "original" but my guess is the game will be nearly unrecognizable from its C64 roots. We've had confirmations from devs that they are working on original downloadable content, games like Sam and Max are in development. The Wii is somewhat of a surprise success as I'm sure you know. It's going to take time to get these things going. The system hasn't even been out SIX MONTHS yet. You've got awefully high expectations for a 6 month old system that had nearly zero 3d party support a year ago.
"If Nintendo is making so much money off the hardware, why are the accessories still so damn expensive? Thirty dollars for a cable? "
The same cable is $20 from cheap 3rd party cable makers and twice that if you buy a name brand version. Have you ever been to Best Buy? They charge like $60-$100 for an HDMI cable you can get on the web for $8. Have you ever seen an xbox360 hard drive? How about pricing for a 360 memory card? They out of this world expensive. It's highway robbert compared to a $30 component cable.
This complaint is just cheap because everyones accessories are over priced.
"What about quality? Why are these things overheating if the technology is so conservative?"
Again, your expectations are a bit silly. As good as Nintendo hardware may be, even they can make a bad unit. People will have hardware failures and you know it. It's obvious that the 360 is having a MUCH higher failure rate than anything else this gen. If you go on xbox message boards, you'll see failure after failure, Wii boards aren't plagued by the same problems. They seem rare in comparison. And yes the PS3 is failing too. Probably about as much as he Wii, which is to say, not much.
"There's a lot more to a game console than just graphics, but people rush in to blare that either graphics don't matter, of the graphics aren't really that bad."
Yes, there is more to a console than graphics but what you're saying isn't really accurate either. Go on some Nintendo fansites sometime. You'll see a lot of people saying the graphics could and SHOULD be better. As a nintendo fan, I will say, I am NOT satisfied with what many devs are doing graphically on the Wii. Graphics do matter, even to nintendo fans, they are just not the #1 priority in most cases. And if you read my comments, I talk about the strengths of the system all the time, I was just explaining to Aex about how great the control on Wii-tennis is because once you figure it out, you realize it really does sense angle, spin, direction. The experience, once you learn the controls, is amazing and can't be replicated on any other console. Thats a major strength in my book. Sure, the Wii can attract non-gamers, and thats a strength too. The fact that I have started gaming with my wife again, and that my extended family actually asks me to bring it with me when I visit, is very important to me. It's giving us something to share in a way my xbox/ps2/cube never did, as much as I had tried.
Now I can quite happily spend three hours watching a black and white Russian avant garde film, but I can also have good time with an epic Sci-Fi drama, OTT '80's horror movie, or an episode of Family Guy or Duck Man. The reason for that is that the moving image is rightly seen as a medium open for interpretation in any direction, and its versatility is exploited freely. While gaming has come a long way over the last few years, and is theoretically an even more versatile medium that film, there's still always been too much of a limited model for what the technology can be used for, and as Zardoz rightly points out, gaming has become a genre rather than a medium, and homogenisation has only become worse over recent years. I see the Wii and the DS as important in taking big steps in opening up gaming as a mature and all-providing medium that will one day, hopefully, be seen in the same way as film and T.V. Something for everyone, no rules, and freely evolving in the experiences it provides.
With Nintendo providing a new angle of interaction, and XBLA and hopefully soon the VC, helping indie experimentation make a comeback, I think we're living in a very exciting period if you look at the long term view.
As for the short term view, I can't help but keep repeating the all-important mantra "Six months". Anyone who's been gaming for long enough knows the first year for any new system is a period for finding its feet, and that goes doubly so for a machine like the Wii that was originally envisioned possibly as a solely first-party platform. Third-party developers spent a while hanging back, as they did with the DS, to see if the experiment would take off. It has now, and while a lot of them are playing catch up, things are moving ahead.
As for graphics (yawn...), bare in mind that for the reasons listed above, we've seen a lot of ports in proportion to dedicated software, and I'll happily admit Nintendo's releases so far haven't given anyone any incentive to make the effort yet. The machine's biggest game was built on Gamecube hardware, so the standard hasn't been set yet. Give it 'til the end of this year/begining of next, when a few of the killer apps have been dropped and people can see some dedicated Wii-developed work. It'll force the third parties to up their game, definitely.
I own a wii, and super paper mario is very entertaining.
I will say that the Wii IS lacking titles
I will say that the Wii IS losing out for online network play
I will say that the Wii IS lacking in graphics
I will say that the Wii IS losing novelty
In the end though, I still have alot of fun still playing wii sports and other various games with the family.
Honestly, you all sound like fucking idiots.
I dunno, I thought the previous two posts were quite eloquent and well-researched.
This is how spiderman 3 looks in the Wii.
Questions?
p.s.
Yeah, I know the game is not very good, but at least in Next gen consoles is well... you know playable?.
