For me, the Wii could never be classed as a next gen console. The next gen consoles are exactly that… next generation… built to the exacting standards of today’s technology with fantastic audio and HD video. The Wii falls short in both aspects, actually no… it plummets.

Several years ago, we were all warned about the changeover to HD and that all our television sets should comply with HD standards because, very soon, the standard definition broadcasts would be shelved along with squarials.

Nintendo have always tried to be at the forefront of technology and this time their idea of progression was to go with a wiggle stick and do as little as possible with everything else. The audio sucks, the picture quality is laughable at best, the interactive interface is almost devoid of purpose, and the representative graphics for the end user couldn’t be more condescending if they were drawn by a foetus holding a crayon in it’s partially sealed mouth.

I just don’t understand why the Wii has such ridiculously poor power and forces the end user to have the image blown up four times to fit the full HD 1080p screen. To me, it smacks of arrogance on their part and for that reason… I’m out

Except that I WILL play Wii Sports Resort at christmas… colour me hypocritical

Thank you I bought the Wii, or rather, had it bought for me with the best of intentions and partyly because I felt obliged…and then…nothing. It didn’t inspire me. Awkward and annoying and childish and years down the line, it isn’t much different, sadly.

I liked the title and the comment on the last pic. Word play amuses me. For that you get a big thumbs up from me *heehee*

My Wii doesn’t get used much either (this is not wordplay… although). It was turned on yesterday, but only because during the night the blue light was flashing signifying an update. I do like that feature. Although, one that probably wouldn’t need to happen if I actually played it more.

One of the games I got at the start was Zelda. Like alot of people, I love the Zelda games, but I haven’t played this Wii version. The reason – I just want to relax and play the game, not have to wave my arms around or simulate motions using the controllers.

It does, however, make a nice plinth for my Yoshi Kart, both big and small versions.
