Wii vs. CD32

[motorollin]

Had some friends over last night and we fancied playing some games. After whining at us for ages to set up the Wii, I compromised by firing up my CD32. It's amazing how Pinball Fantasies and Speedball 2 can still keep a crowd amused for ages! :-)

Wii is a party machine i would prefer to play CD32 any day.

We're thinking of getting Mario Party. But TBH, we're bored of the Wii. Last night was the first time we played it in months. Once the novelty of the controllers wears off, it gets a bit dull.

To say the truth, Nintendo, for me is crap (about games). They  have games only for children, well most of them. I prefer CD32 at all costs. We are talking about quality games, that it's hard to find nowadays.

@phantom

Are you saying that nintendo games lack quality?.  :-?

@ _ThEcRoW

In front of Amiga games and even PlayStation, yes they have childish games, which most of them lacks quality. Fow how long you will play a Nintendo game?

Well I really like my DS, and there are loads of games for it that I play fairly often. I also play SNES games on my GP2X. Overall I quite like Nintendo games. But with the Wii, it's a bit too much of an effort :lol:

I had never thought that Speedball 2 could be amusing.

Dare I say it? Yes, I dare... :-). I kind of like the Wii, but that's probably more down to the fact that I just want a few hours of fun without the complexitiy of modern-day PC games. Now that we've got a second Wii-mote with the machine, our twin-boys (almost 11 y/o) seem to enjoy it even more as they can now challange eachother in a one-on-one fight.

I got the Wii around the same time as World of Warcraft.
If it were not for WoW, I would be playing with my Wii contantly.  

That said, you can't complain about the quality of Nintendo-made games.

Now 3rd party games on Wii are mostly crap.  Don't blame Nintendo, blame the developers who don't put in the time to learn to use it's unique gpu.

Factor 5 being one of the exceptions to the rule.  Capcom being another (Resident Evil 4 FTW).
Factor 5 is Wii-making the Rogue Squadron series from the Gamecube for the Wii.  Maybe they'll put Turrican in there as an easter egg.  Also they are rumored to be developing a Kid Icarus game, reviving it from the NES to the Wii.

If you want a challenging Wii game, get Metroid Prime 3.

Thanks moto,

I thought that would be the case with the Wii. The likes of Ian Wright and Michael Owen pretending to enjoy it in the adverts didn't fool me for a moment. Now I'm absolutely positive that I'll never get one :lol:

I'm looking out for a CD32 though  8-)

@A4000_Mad
Don't get me wrong, the Wii is a great console and it's loads of fun. But you do have to be prepared to make the effort to move when you play it :lol: Wii Tennis doesn't work very well when you're all sitting on the sofa...

The Wii is great for short bursts IMO, but I very quickly get bored until the next time. On the other hand, I could play on my CD32 for hours ;-)

Certainly, but it takes one to know one.  I found this game ugly in all respects, so I didn't make the effort to take an interest in it.
