The world needs to know how badly Nintendo screwed up this time so I thought I should be the guy to inform you.

5. Too many gimmicks

I mean, look at that controller. That's not the future! Cell is the future! Sixaxis is the future!11 I'll stick with my traditional controller and games thank you very much. Ridddddge Racer, that game is looking fly. They even have a feature where you can hook up your PSP to your PS3 and use it as a side mirror, that's the future.

4. Encouraged human interaction

I mean, what the heck is up with that?! If I am playing games it has to be on five different PCs in different rooms so we can all have space! Or I have to beat that loser from China, for honour, for glory. Real social interaction? I spit on your grave.

3. Graphics quality.

Have you seen the quality of those wii games?! I mean games like Metroid and No more Heroes look like utter bullcrap when compared to my GTAVVI. You can see each individual hair on Perco Vengottis virtual ass! Graphics make the game people, games like the spledifirous Mobile Suit Gundam. that's just one of the many examples. Convinced yet?

2. Kiddy Games

Wii is lacking in the games department! I want blood! I want gore!!1 I want
Leisure Suit Larry. Babyish games like Zelda and Metroid make me want to barf. No blood = No Sale. I'll be back in a while I'm just off to play Ethnic Cleansing now! Any one want to join me? Hello?

1. It isn't a media centre.

Don't even get me started on this topic now. I mean, what century is Nintendon't living in? Picture this. You are sitting on your ass playing a game when you want to stream some porn , you want to watch a dvd(porn) , you want to eat some friggin' poptarts! The wii needs more freakin' fucntions! Gaming isn't about games anymore you d*****s, it's all about the add-ons the extras and the sweet sweet Linux OS. I propose Nintendo adds Blu-ray, HD-DVD, Beta-Max player, wireless loo and a toaster to their future machines if they want to succeed in this business. You only need to look at sub-par
past console to see what I mean.(Super Nintendo? Super flop IMO)

Thanks for reading and remember kids, new dog, old tricks! That is the way forward!!

I think the controller is a great piece of innovation even though it can be lethal :D. The reason Sony is making the PSP and PS3 compatible is because they want people to buy both to make more money.

I like being able to compete with other people all over the world instead of the computer (for example online poker at the minute). If you like the feature good, if not just don't use it.

Nope gameplay makes the game not graphics. OK good graphics are a bonus but no gameplay and good graphics means a short lifespan playing wise.

I'm sure there will be "adult" games for the Wii sooner or later.

The SNES is probably my favourite console of all time, consoles should be about gaming first and foremost and the other things you stated second.

If Nintendo had put all those features on the Wii it would have cost twice as much which isn't what Nintendo wanted.

I am so in agreement!

I mean, who needs innovation when you can have rehashes?

The best advancement in videogames was being able to ride a bicycle in San Andreas! Wow, that was teh lush!
