Post by Grudge »

By the week ending August 23, VGchartz gathered that Nintendo had sold 10.57 million Wii consoles over lifetime, while Microsoft sold 10.51 million Xbox 360 consoles.

No not for me exclusively, its more fun to play with others. I only have wii sports, and a virtual console mario game.
No way in hell would I buy a game for it that is available on the 360...heh.

I havent played it much, Metriod comes out in a few days, ill be getting that.

27th?

btw i find it really really fucking stupid that you cant use the wii's internal memory to store gamecube saved games. I also find the music in Wii sports really annoying...stupid elevator, reception office music. 480p sucks for modern games, and so does the white minimalist theme.

Oi... n00b question about the Wii here...

Been thinking of getting Twilight Princess for the Game Cube, since I don't own a Wii. If I should decide to get a Wii sometime in the future, does it mean that the Game Cube version of the game won't have the remote controls if I try playing it on the Wii?

In other words, if I want to flail my arms around like a moron in the future, will I have to go out and buy the Wii version of the game, too? My assumption is yes, but the more I think about it, it seems like the Game Cube version should work. So... does it?

yeah i think they are different..also you would need a gamecube controller, and a gamecube memory card to play a gamecube game on the wii.

Who cares, why get so angry about a product selling more than another?

Everyone bitches about the games on Wii. Yet I haven't seen anything I want on 360. Which is funny cause I used to be hell bent on getting a 360 because it's hardware and Live kick ass.
Wii's got some decent games now. No way I'm getting rid of it now.

Still wouldn't mind getting a 360 if it could offer something other then rehashed xbox games.
