Most of the time when people post about they are bored or other concerns they want to hear what you think, they don't want to hear you bash them and try to say they are retarded. Its also getting real old when these type of topics come out that most responses go like this "go play your fps on that stupid 360, or go watch your stupid blue ray movie" Or the 360 has no variety of games, To me thats fanboyism, and its uncalled for. If we wanted to go on a variety of games war i could find every type of game that the wii has and i could find a similar game on the 360 or ps3, its that type of ignorance that im talking about.

I see. I usually differentiate between those sorts, and other "fanatics". I consider myself to be a Nintendo enthusiast, which often translates to others as "fanboy". The other type are just plain "idiots" (as I call them, and I sometimes do on these forums - not often, but sometimes).

Personally, it's not the worst case of ignorance though. Racial ignorance, cultural ignorance, sexual ignorance etc has always been way ahead of "fanboyism".

Oh you are absolutely right its not the worst form of ignorance, especially when you play on the weekend on xboxlive you should hear some of the things that come out of these kids mouths, where the hell is ya momma at. Its just unbelievable, lol thats why if nintendo does come out with a mic they need to do a better job than microsoft at age filtering so kids don't get mixed up in the same games as adults, but thats just my opinion. Its kinda sad to hear a 12 year old boy hollering the n-word and jew this and jew that, especially when they aren't even old enough to know about what they are saying.

Now that i think about it that might be the exact reason they haven't come out with a mic yet.

Couldn't agree more.

Though thankfully, I haven't been exposed to the language on Xbox all that bad. Just "noob" over and over and over again. Not that I was personally playing, just kinda annoying all the same though.

Dont get me wrong i like the wii but its time for them to start living up to the hype and stop trying to tyde us over with mini games and ports. If nintendo only puts out a good game every 5 months(1st party) and then when those games are supposed to come out push them back just to compete with other systems, thats not a bright future. you say be patient thats like telling some one hey buy this movie ticket from me and then ill tell you when the movie starts. I bought a system whose marki games where supposed to be launch games that two of them didnt even come out till a year later, and the rest have yet to come out. Patience is not the issue its keeping promised deadlines, and funneling out the crap games thats the issue.

Well, you could always try buying more games, and if you really still feel like that, sell your wii.

i have played everything the wii has to offer other than the last two to three weeks recent releases. make that two i got crash and beat it a couple times and then played it with my girls son and now its sitting in the ebgames used section.

Cus Crash looked like a solid game.
It looked horrible and didn't sound promising.
I could have told you to pass on that one.

Be patient.
Games are coming, I know you don't like me telling you that, but they are coming.

You don't like them, then your problem lies with the system itself.
So rather than stay on here and whine about it for 3 months, do something about it.
Play more of another system, sell your Wii for some money.

nintendo make certain kinds of games. they're not for everyone.

If you are looking at no mic support as a good thing, than you have probably never played a competitive game. Mic is essential to all competetive gaming; communication is KEY. Wii does not look like it is supporting communication as well as it should be, and loses an important audience of hardcore gamers right there. I understand that Nintendo takes a very family friendly stance, hence the friend code business and limitations on communication. This is, in one way a good business move. However, they also fail to realize the business of hardcore gaming, an area which the Wii fails to attract at all. All in all, I think it's a bit of a mistake in a business standpoint, and a great problem for non- casual multiplayer people.

What the Wii really needs to do is attract bigtime FPS makers to work with it. The fact that the Wii is very popular and is still not getting quality FPS games is concerning. I think the Wii not getting the Orange Box was a bit of a slap in the face by Valve, as this is a very popular, very amazing product that was released everything except for Wii. Nintendo has the oppurtunity now to go toe to toe in the multiplayer business with Microsoft, but so far has been failing. Live was made for X-box, a previous generation console, and it still blows Wii's online out of the water in terms of functionality and ease of use.

I'm sorry, this was a long post. I had been a Nintendo fan for 10 years before switching over to PC for good. Why did I switch? Because I wanted something that could get me great online games, and Wii fails to deliver that. But who knows, maybe they'll pull something out of their sleeve. All I know is, video games are more popular than ever, and when I hear people I know talk about games, I don't hear "What do you think of Twilight Princess?" I hear "Great game of Gears last night, eh?"
