You're such a Loose Cannon!

Summa you fucking hater. Don't make me get gamez1 in here. Your hate is no match for the oppressed fanboy.

Hmm.. or you guys are too busy praising Nintendo to realize the above statement is pretty much true. It depends on your point of view. Glass is either half full or "who the fuck drank half my glass you ass wipes!"

Oh well smash brawl is coming.. that will aleviate things... for a short while.

For better results I recommend a large dose of Wii60 and Crackdown with just a pill of the Halo 3 beta, take 2 and call me in the morning.

you're right, Wii is boring at the moment. everytime I start it up and hear the ambient menu music I get kinda sleepy and apathetic...

but thank God it can play GC games. buying under the radar titles for under 10 bucks is fun (so far finished viewtiful joe, killer7, and soon onto beyond good and evil)

Hell If all I had in my hands was the Wii even virtua fighter 5 must be looking pretty tempting right now, BUT do not lose the path young one! $600 can land you a pretty nice 360 setup with Gears of War and Crackdown. And lets face it even Doa4 can beat VF5 (it actually does) since you can duke it out online. It may seem trivial but doing a leader board with your friends on a 1-1 event brings out the competetive bug on anyone.

The brain: Well right now Im playing the crap out of Oblivion preparing for the shivering isles, besides Crackdown and GOW of course.

Wow rob. I know you are the HNIC or something like that, but are you incapable of objectively reporting something?

Have your opinions, but filling titles with lies is retarded.

@Azrael

I was referring to titles that came out in the past couple of months. There really aren't any for any of the systems beyond Warioware, Crackdown, and VF5. Of course 360 can make it through the drought easier because of the mass of games from the previous year still being around, so it hurts the least in the event of a drought, but I was trying to make a point that the drought is across all consoles.

The brain: I see your point, but seriously the drought for the Wii is by far WORST than for any other system. I mean even the freaking PSP has more games than Wii.

Titles here or coming real soon for all systems.

Xbox 360:
Crackdown
Halo Beta (is coming soon)
Oblivion: Shivering isles
Homecourt (actually cool, pretty NBA Jam like)
Icon

Ps2:
God of war 2 (We dont need anything else!)

PS3:
Virtua fighter 5
Tekken 6
Oblivion
Icon
NBA Homecourt

PSP:
Ratchet and clank
300 path to glory
Ghost rider
Crush
Monster hunter 2

Wii:
Smash brawl
Er.. wii play?
The godfather (when is that supposed to show up?)

I always knew the Wii would fizzel, nintendo has a record of crap content until their nintendo specific titles show up, like zelda and mario and metriod. Then only game that jumps to mind that was new and popular was smash bros.

Wii release dates for announced titles. Seems to be a few more than Azrael would have you believe, but I'm sure he has some excuse about how they're all kiddie, will suck because they're ports/not true next gen, or whatever boring shit he repeats everytime he posts. I've got issues with every system right now, but I don't pretend that there's not some great potential in the very near future for all of them.

So Summa tell what have you been doing on your ps3 lately ?

Virtua Fighter 5???? I hate all fighting games that are not smash they just seem incredibly boring to me.

Azrael... stop console bashing. You've been on these boards for months and thats all you do.

Wii releases : Smash,Super Paper Mario ,Bust-A-Move Bash! ,Spider-Man 3 Wii (2 bonus villians), Manhunt 2 ,Marvel Nemesis 2 ?,Soulcalibur IV [Untitled] ,Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers , Fire Emblem ,Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors ,Dr. Mario (Virtual Console) , Excitebike (Virtual Console) , Star Fox 64 (Virtual Console) , Super Metroid (Virtual Console) , Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (Virtual Console) , Metroid Prime 3: Corruption , Super Mario Galaxy , Animal Crossing Wii , Animal Crossing Wii , and more.


Now stop it.

(Thanx Mxyzptlk)

Eh, it's kinda sparse, but I'm finding the Virtual Console to be a treasure box of joy, having missed out on playing or owning many of these games. So I'm perfectly happy playing retro games and having other consoles/handhelds pick up the slack of new games. It's not like it's any different than with the 360 a year ago or the PS3.

(Apologies for the double post.)

To be fair, Snaileb, a lot of those like Dragon Quest Swords, Crystal Chronicles, and SoulCalibur IV don't have firm release dates, and we have no idea when those games will be done. There's a game drought, but provided you're smart with the VC (or strategically play on other consoles), it shouldn't be an issue.

Snaileb: Whoa, nice job in adding all the Virtual console titles and Animal Crossing twice so it looks nice and puffy. great job ;) Wii drought succesfully erradicated!

Anyways... hmm.. the point there is nothing worthwhile on the Wii RIGHT NOW , maybe in the future (and that depends on your taste) but THERES A LOT more coming to other consoles. Even PS3 (believe it or not!)

Speaking of which you cant complain about Wii bashing, the PS3 has gotten 10 times the "bad puppy" treatment since launch. Wii has been sucked and licked and stroked all over, tongue in cheek, using forward and circular motions to a pseudo orgasmic point. I believe enough stroking has been done and we dont want things to get messy.

Oh and also cocks.

(T,T)

Azrael

Since you are soo keen on talking about a wii drought why dont you start telling us about the ps3 drought too? because if you are gonna be critical Why not be critical of everything and not just singling out one console to bash.

As Snaileb said you are nothing but a stpid hater.

And also one thing drought is subjective to personal preference.

Snaileb: Dude you are taking this WAY too seriously, I mean have you even read all my posts this week? I dont even talk about the Wii in half of them. Besides you shouldnt just label people like that.

peace.

There is no 360 drought, 360 is awesome and been out for a year.

OK, Im sorry for labeling you a hater, so if you took a break for a week from console bashing, then I guess I can give you a different type of congradulatory rant.

Meh.. too lazy..

Right. Blatant lies are what Sony uses to sell consoles and have no place in an intelligent debate about the strengths and weaknesses of a given console.

At any rate, any console is going to suffer this kind of dry-spell early on. I don't see anybody getting their panties in a bunch over the PS3's awesome library of games.

I'm going to try to go for an unbiased list that nobody can disagree with (lolz, talk about impossible).


Previous months and next couple of months


PS3

Virtua Fighter 5
Tekken 5
MotorStorm
FEAR (port)
Oblivion (port)


360

Crackdown (YAY)
Tom Clancy's GRAW 2
(this list is shorter, but it already has FEAR, Oblivion, etc.)


Wii

Warioware: Smooth Moves
Super Paper Mario (YAY)
SSX Blur
Sonic and the Secret Rings (ehh)


I should probably include Tiger Woods, as it is hard to argue that the Wiimote won't improve this game very much, but I opted not to. Also, anyone who put Bust a Move in their list is delusional. Fun game, yes, but really a very unimportant game. You might be able to get away with putting on Cooking Mama and Mario Party, but I doubt it.

The 360 list feels thin, but games like FEAR and Oblivion are already on that system. Also, this is just for the next couple of months and games like Bioshock don't have definative release dates yet.

Honestly I'd rather play Mario, Sonic, and SSX than a pair of fighters and an offroad racing game, but your mileage may vary.

Still pretty light all around though.

I must admit, I've never in my life not had any games in queue. There is always something to play. I still have PS1 games to get to.

edit:

CANT criticize it. and criticism != hate.

Peace.

Nah, I'd rather get a PS3 and watch some Blu-ray movies. Since that's all there is to do on a PS3 anyway.
