But HOW will it be downgraded? Have you ever played the monster hunter games? If so, if they worked so well on the PS2 why wont they on the Wii? And how would they be better on the PS3? Thats what I want to know. Bar grpahics of course.

Online cop-op does sound amazing actually, although I never got into everquest it always interested me the idea of getting a team and hunting monsters, this game is definitely up there for me. And Mikey you can slag off Nintendo all you like, and you do, but coming onto a game discussion and saying the game could have been good but it'll be shit cos it's on the Wii. How is that JUST giving your opinion? It's flamebait pure and simple. It's like an Arsenal fan going on to a tottenham forum and saying you guys are pretty shit arent you, you're not as good as us. Yes it's their opinion and they're entitles to it, but what is the point in it? Like I said before you dont see other people doing it on the OTHER boards because it serves no purpose. And I'm not a fanboy....well maybe I am, but I have had every single console bar the PS3 ever, but I do prefer Nintendo yes.

Oh I know live is infinitely better and would love wfc to be as good or close; though I actually dont think it would take much. A headset and pretty much all games online would be enough for me, friendcodes are annoying but I aint that bothered. Thing is, I'm not an online fan, I play DS online with my girlfriend; I play a little Wii with some friends (guitar hero, fifa and strikers) and I have phases on live (gears and Ghost Recon) but I just dont enjoy playing against strangers, only friends. And I'd rather them be in the room with me every single time - its not a deal breaker for me, hence why I love the Wii and rarely play 360.

Hmmm, yeah that was ipaul very similar to Mikey. Nothing annoys me more than obnoxious people. I like discussion and debate and these people just shit all over it. As for monster Hunter, sounds awesome, due to the fact the game aint out for a long time, I'm confident that the online and headset situation will be sorted. Would Mario Galaxy be better on the 360 or PS3? Metroid? Zelda? With your argument wouldn't most games be better on the 360 or PS3? With such a limited viewpoint why do you feel the need to come on the wii board and remind everyone that the games we're looking forward to and love playing would be better if it was on the 360 or PS3? Do you see me going onto the 360 board saying orange box, halo and every single FPS (which are the only good games on the 360 ) would be better on the Wii because the Wii remote makes FPS's iniftely better? No. I do believe that but what good would that do on a 360 board? All I'm going to do is piss people off.

I LOVE people having different opinions if they articulate it, but Mikey you are just flaming pure and simple. WHY is it a shame monster hunter isnt on the PS3/360, that would be interesting to know, and maybe if I havent seen you do this before (hero it isn't the second poster Ive unleashed a tirade of abuse at, its one poster twice) then it wouldnt have annoyed me but I havent seen one intelligent post from you, you come on a Wii bored and slag it off with the inteligence of a Nuts reader! Tell me why HD grpahics will further the series more than a completely ne way to control the game? And I hear the online worries, it is a worry because its the one area Nintendo really need to sort; you never know, it could be sorted with, or veen before, this game. Mikey: Why do you come here if you hate the Wii so much? Thats what I dont understand? And if you persist on coming here and slagging all thinsg Wii can you PLEASE get an informed opinion

Mikey will you fuck off. Why do you come to these threads and abuse the Wii? Stop being a cock and get the fuck out of these boards because you you just slate without ANY intelgient debate in you, I'll say it again FUCK OFF!!!

Resident Evil and Lego Starwars for christmas, I have EVERYTHING else I want. The next games for me (not sure when they'r eout) are Zack and Wicki, Medal of Honour and Ghost Squad! PS Whoever said about rockstars table tennis, I truly believe Table Tennis on mario and sonic is better!

Yes it is but it isn't a quote, it is ONM writing. They also mention about them revealing it - they say they were supposed to unveil the game a couple of months ago but it fell through. We'll hear about it very soon I feel and pray it is an AMAZING game!

Mcmad, I'll tell where my evidence is - I've played all of those games and I prefer the Wii ones. How about that?

McMad you are joking. That is your 'evidence' That is hilarious!!

Yeah Orange box is incredible, we bought both though In my opinion orange box is a pure experience and especially incredible if you haven't played Half Life 2, but for me theres a magic about Metroid and the controls are simply incredible!!!

Actually I wouldnt agree with your puraches - Halo 3 is insanely overrated and while the orange box is an AMAZING package I would still choose Metroid 3!! Sorry.

Whats wrong with a heated debate

why is it such a crime to compare the first year of wii with the first year of 360? this is what i mean by foresight, it ISN'T just about the NOW, it's about the potential, it's about the looking into the future; but then this is maybe where the debate lies - if you want loads of quality titles with lots of production quality then the 360 is a more attractive proposition, yes, now. But for me the Wii had a better first year and I think an even better 2nd year - why? Obviously because of the success and even more obviously because developers begin to understand the technology - the DS is the most blatant blueprint for what will happen with the Wii, but on an even bigger scale! The games we will start to see will be of a MUCH higher quality in both tech, production values and the use of the wiimote. Where can the PS3 and 360 go from here? Nowhere. Just bring out good games but not move the industry forward in the slightest. Which brings me on to another point why I love the Wii - IT WILL CHANGE THE INDUSTRY FOREVER!!! I am a filmmaker by profession and I adore innovation in the indutstry - the hostiry of cinema is amazing from sound, colour, CG, digital, High Def and the impending 3d cinema explosion we'll see in the next 5 years, it excites me - the POTENTIAL excites me; and I take this in to this situation, I was bored shitless of videogames last gen and most of the time the 360 bores me too - the nintendo DS re-ignited my love for gaming and the Wii seems to be taking it even further, because it is changing and advancing the industry, because Nintendo are innovators, and trust me Sony and Microsoft WILl follow suit next gen!

Like you I am calmer than my posts appear - damn the inability to read tone in text Anyways, I wasnt targetting anyone in particular, just general wii bashers. I just don't understand people not thinking the Wii has had an amazing year when I have over 30 games for the Wii and like them all! I have never had a game uptake like this (though I've never been richer either:) ) I mean, what gamer could not like: Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Zack and Wicki, No More Heroes, Smash bros., Mario Kart, Excite Truck, Trauma Centre, Resident Evil4, Umbrella Chronicles, Guitar Hero, Olympics, Mario Strikers, Eledees, SSX Blur, Sonic, Paper Mario............ And many more!! How is that bad? My brain hurts thinking about gamers sayingt he wii doesnt have good games!! Also, maybe its because I am older, but I LOVE the fact my girlfriend loves playing sports, endless ocean, rayman, Wario Ware, Mario Strikers, Brain Academy, and not just my girlfreind but my family and nongaming friends - we have some awesome mutliplayer sessions and nights with drinks and beer. Its amazing!!! How is this bad? I think the Wii is incredible if you couldn't guess and succeeding in the satusfying my real gameing needs and my social gaming needs. The 360 is a quality machine, we have one and it's good, but for me the problem lies within the following games, in my opinion, the best games on the 360: Call of Duty 4 Halo Bioshock Gears of War Orange Box Ghost Recon Rainbow 6 I don't think I need to point out what is wrong with the list above. To be honest, I'm getting VERY bored, Live however impressive is a nice bonus more than a real incentive, and I am impressed by the grahics for no more then an hour. AND PS a harddrive, bluray and HD are about as important to a games console as a nail file on an oven Ha, just saw Dante comented on the PS3 benefits too

But how did they put you off after LESS than twelve months - what the fuck is wrong with peoples perspectives? Again, please tell me what 360 had in the first twelve months, I'm dying for someone to tell me and not resort to "well Zelda is actually a gamecube game moved to wii" bullshit because that is a fucking retarded point. What did it have that competes with what the wii has? Also, what has the PS3 got the wii doesnt? Fuck it what did the gamecube have in the first 12 months? The playstation 2? The n64, ds, snes? I could really go on!!!! The Wii has a lot of quality titles, a lot! It has the best or at least one of the best versions of three of the biggest franchises in Mario, Zelda and Metroid, it has more 3rd party support than its had since the snes. WHAT THE FUCK IS PEOPLES PROBLEM!!!! All I hear is bitching about the lack of games but dont point to any facts just say 360 is better - GET A FUCKING FORESIGHT and see what is obviously going to happen over the next 12 months! Also, what is the problem with loads of new wii owners? Why do you care so much that the wii has games like Carnival games or wii play? Why do you give a shit? Dont buy them! Thats not all there is!!!! "I sold my wii before mario galaxy came out and im gald I did it because the wii has no good games" - WTF are you talking about!!!! Galaxy is so much better than anything on the 360, and even if you dont agree with that it's still a game any of you oh so precious and serious and amazing self proclaimed hardcore gamers should play, but you slag the wii off for no fucking reason and giving it no time to prove itself and decide to leave SHIT games like metroid and mario and olympics, and resident evil and trauma centre and zack and wicki to us casual gamers you have so much fucking disdain for.

That is shockingly, yet laughably awful! Forget the fact that he looks shit and his voice is a disaster, the actual trailer was truly awful - what chimp did they get to put that together! After all that time they should have come out and really impressed! So, so bad.......

Over 5m? So it's only 2m ahead of Mario? I thought it would be much more than that!

What are the sales for gears of War and Halo 3?

Blind to disagree? Narrow minded to think it if you ask me. If you don't think Wii is only going to get better and better then you will be in for a big shock. I bet you only got a DS last year and slagged it off for the previous 2 And about the live thing, I agree the effort that goes into it is very good and I love the added features, would I want them on the VC? Yes I would. But I still spend 100 times more money on the VC and think it has infinitely better games. Also, we are on a Wii board, this is an amazing achievement for the Wii and its fans, do people really have to come here and slag the Wii off? What is the point in saying the Wii is shit in a thread about it doing really well on a Wii specific board? I don't understand, it is pure flaming. I LOVE having debates about the consoles don't get me wrong, but lets starts a thread that compares the Wii to the 360, the pros and cons, predictions for the future etc etc. And Mikey, you are the only real flamer here, you flame while other people like Jordan put up real points in an intelligent way and then you just say wii's shit and agree with other wii-dissers! Please put more thought into your posts!

I'm sorry but xbox live does have some amazing games - I LOVE Geometry Wars more than most "proper" games, but I am sorry, I really do laugh when anyone thinks anything can compete with 20 years of gaming genius that is on the Virtual Console, I'm sorry but you are not telling me that ANY of the games you mentioned are even close to Mario 64, ocarina, Donkey Kong Country Trilogy, Super Mario World, Paper mario etc etc. Please tell me you're not!?! Though I agree about the new games, though I am certain the Wii Ware channel will also house some classic downloadable games!

Mikey you're talking shit. The VC PISSES all over xbox live, you must be some blind fanboy to not agree. And please tell me in the first 12 months of the 360 what games matched metroid, Zelda and Mario? Please tell me.

Oh I thought you were being sarcastic TITO, as in Mario has had very good sales, which i think it has and will go on to sell even more as more Wiis get sold and more gamers buy the console wanting mario Galaxy! Oh and mario and Sonic is AWESOME and nothing would be please me more for it to get xmas number 1!

Are people on here being sarcastic? Saying the Wii is shit. And if it didn't have mario, Zelda and metroid then I wouldnt want one - are you taking the piss because I find you hilarious!!! What the fuck has ANY console had that matches those 3 titles in the first year!!! Why do people love knocking whoever's doing well! Success breeds hate in most things in England, winds me up!!!

Anyone how this sold in the first week in Japan?
