    So modern gaming truly is causing the decline?

    Another example of how bad video games and systems cause human suffering.

    Edit: Even Microsoft, despite all of it's oppressive shit, causes less human harm than Nintendo. :lol:

    Read on the wii thread, someone asked about decent games, and it end up with an impressive list, theres some exceptional games amongst the sea of shovelware . Of course now you will have to post in the jrpg sub forum like the other fags too :)

    That said theres a few promising titles still, bayonetta 2, the new zelda (not the wind waker remake) , and ill probably get oen too just for that :

    Xenoblade 1 was a spectacular overhyped piece of crap with repetitive, easy, annoying, pointless sidequests

    I got Mario, Pikmin 3, and Lego Undercover, which seemed like the best games from Internet commentary. I only played Mario, which is pretty much Super Mario Bros 3 in HD with a few gameplay refinements, not that there's anything wrong with that. I also got a Wii controller pro.

    I pre-ordered Donkey Kong and Mario Kart 8.

    Now I will try Lego Undercover.

    One assumes they play other shit on other shit.

    Though I have a good friend from high school who only owns a Wii, mainly for SNES nostalgia reasons.

    Lego Undercover is basically GTA with a greater emphasis on platforming and the humor of an old saturday morning cartoon. All in all it's a good game.

    You've played GTA?

    You're not even trying outside of GD, are you?

  12. If there's a backward compatibility you can try Okami for Wii. Original art-style, zelda-like gameplay, drawing mechanics, the protagonist is a wolf..

    I'm jelly. Personally, I think that the console will eventually flop, but some of the exclusives are going to become cult hits sooner or later.



    There is a demo online and the game is coming out just in a week or two.

    Demo sucked from what i could see, it's DMC lite with more characters to keep track of and more convoluted gimmicks.

    There's probably going to be a new Zelda and Metroid Prime. The Zelda will be shit - but pretty, so it's worth it for the looks. Metroid Prime, though- dunno. (This is just a rumor; the creators of Prime said for years they've been working on a project that fans really want them to work on).
