I wanted one before the sequel was confirmed, to be honest. PS3 too expensive, Xbox360 turns into a barbecue, and neither have games that really interest me a whole lot (Aside from MGS4, and one or two others. ).

Ditto to that. But once you buy all the stupid accessories like extra controllers, classic controler, Wii points, games, guid for Zleda game, and the usb Wi-Fi then it is about the same price as an XBox 360. Thats how Nintedo gets you. There are way too much extra crap you have to buy. (I still only have one controller. If anyone wants to play with me then they can go spend $40 and buy their own controller.)
However, having the PS3 will become more important once they start only making some movies in Blue-Ray. In fact...that is what they plan to do.
I got the Wii a couple months ago. They finally got 4 in the Wal-Mart near-by after two months of not having any. Good thing we went to Wal-Mart that day. NiGHTS, Sonic, and Zelda were the main reasons for me to buy the system.

I know how you feel. I wasn't going to get the Wii for a long while either. But my grandma won $1000 at the casino and decided to buy the Wii for me with some of the money. Heck, I only have two games for the darn system, and I won't be buying another until NiGHTS comes out. When your in College, your broke.

Miyamoto wants you to rephrase that
In good time. If JoD goes online like it was said mucho earlier, then we may need two sets of FCs.Oh!

My FC is:
5491 5155 6964 5335
My bloody router isn't working, so oh well. Hopefully by Nov. XP
Alright Trippy FC plzzzz

Alright Trippy FC plzzzz
I doubt Trippy will put her FC on for the public. Otherwise she would get on the Wii and have 300 messeges on her message board. In fact, I am sceptical about putting mine up. But hey, I'm not that important so I guess I don't have much to worry about. Plus the only games I have are Zelda and Sonic...
My FC is: 1072 6043 4230 0486 (or was it 986?...) Anywho!
Online multiplayer would be awsome. I would probbably get my butt kicked...but oh well.

I got one because of Twilight Princess, big mistake there. At least Mario Galaxy is on its way.
HAX!!! I'd make another 'NiGHTS nuking your house' picture, but I'm out of room to scribble out the name and right another. >=\ Consider yourself lucky, Link-hater.

yeah I think some people overrate it too high. Im not one to diss it because I do love it's graphics but just cuz I can see five o clock shadows doesn't mean I'm gonna spend an arm and a leg just to get it. it's more of a system for graphic whores(not to sound insulting)
but anyway I think Im addicted to wii sports

You're looking at a 360 vs. Wii vs. PS3 regular. The PS3 is estimated to have a fail rate under 1%, though still more than the Wii. The 360, however, has been estimated to have a fail rate of 30-33%. RRoD, baby. Look it up.=3 Your cuz needs some STFU-spray. The PS3 is WAY too expensive and I heard it breaks easily. >_>

The Wii is not so much better when it comes to duribility. I would like to know how a disc with absolutly no scraches is put into the Wii and then an error comes on and I must restart the system. Then this problem perssist 5 more times and I get pissed and play my DS and try the system later. (YEs I am putting it in the right way!)
As for the PS3...not a great investment unless all DVDs start become Blue-Ray.
Seller: "The PS3 lets you listen to music."
Me: "So can my computer and MP3 player."
Seller: "You can surf the web." (I think?)
Me: "So can my computer."
Seller: "You can view pictures"
Me: "SO CAN MY COMPUTER! IS there anything it does my computer can't?"
Seller: "It can play PS3 games and Blue-Ray movies."
ME: "Yeah....I'm outta here."
So Yeah for the Wii and I am glad NiGHTS will be on it.

Please people don't make this a war I wouldn't want this to be another place a console argument occurs. It's bad enough they're all over youtube.
It won't. That's why we hardworking admins and mods are here!
*dons admin cape* Guys, time to get a bit more on topic. Thank you.

(I'm a zelda fan boy, and yes I was perfectly willing to spend $300 just to play Zelda. I for one was not disapointed... of course I still say it didn't match Ocarina of Time's legacy but I bought that for virtual console along with all the other zeldas, so I'm happy)
so no I didn't buy wii just for JOD, but it is a large supporting factor for not selling it to a fellow fanboy.

I didnt get a Wii for JOD, although right around E3 and a little before it I believe a japanese magazine had a cryptic list and NiGHTS was on it. The real reason was basically because the controller and motion sensing was EXACTLY what I had been dreaming of in a console for many years since watching people play with joypads that didnt respond to movement but were still being flung around as if it should do something. So when I saw the Wii remote I wasl ike YES FINALLY!. My first though, literally the first thing I said about this controller was "NiGHTS would f*!*ing rule on this". I dont know why I said it or what led me to think that at that moment but it sure was a harbinger of good things to come wasnt it then around E3 seeing Mario Galaxy, Zelda, SonicATSR, Monkey Ball, well it sealed the deal right there. I was oging to eat ramen for a few months and buy me a damned Wii
To me the Wii seems like the console that is closest to the virtual reality that we see in cartoons. It's still gonna take some time but it's the only system I can feel like I'm in the game. I'm right now playing Call of Duty 3 and Red Steel and I'm having a lot of fun.

So yes, NiGHTS is a BIG factor.

I've been saving for a wii for a long time, mainly for Zelda and brawl. And THEN I hear the news of JOD and I am all like, 'OMGFTWBBQ MUST BUY!' I have the cash for it finally..Now I just gotta find a store that HAS one. And convince my mom its a good idea or get my brothers to help me buy it behind her back. (She doesn't like video games at all. Witch. >.>)
So yes, NiGHTS is a BIG factor.
BBQ??!?!?!?!?!?! MY WII DOESN'T DO THAT!!!

I can't afford a Wii and they're in high demand. I hate living in the last decade.
On the contrary, I heard that the demand for the Wii has recently died down, because most people who wanted it had, well, gotten it.
Btw, happy 100th post :3.

That certainly brightens up my day! (both the thing you just told me and the fact that you congratulated me on my 100th post)

no, silly. Only the PS3 with its cell proccessor is powerful enough to cook while you play backwards compatible PS2 games. (PS3 can't use Guitar Hero 2)
